” You need not worry. I shall stay at this Ganagapur kshetra secretly. I shall have bath at the Bheema-Amaraja Sangam river in the morning. In the mid day, I shall come to Ganagapur math and accept Biksha in this village and accept your Pooja, devotional services in this Muth. From the view point of the public, I am going away from this place. My living presence will be experienced by any one who bathes in the Bheema-Amaraja Sangam and takes darshan of my Padukas here. I will receive poojas at this Kshetra in the form of Padukas”. The Padukas of shree guru shree Narasimha Saraswati Swamy at this place are “Nirguna Padukas”

In shelter of Audumbar tree many devotees do the Shree Gurucharitra parayana. (Reading of Shree Gurucharitra).

History of Audumbar tree at Sangam Kshetra
Leprosy decease of a Brahmin by name Narahari was cured by shree Guru Narasimha Saraswati Swamy and the story can also see in Shree Gurucharitra. Narahari bowed to Shreeguru and began to pray him at that time. The 8 sloka stotra composed by Narahari was become famous and are being reciting in the temple at night even today also. Each sloka ends with “VANDAYAAMI NAARASIMHA SARASWATHEESHA PAAHIMAAM”. The stotra is now familiar as Narasimha Saraswati ashtaka. Shreeguru blessed Narahari and said, whoever recite the sloka every day with full devotion, they will get ashta aishwarya, spiritual power, wealth, fame and noble offspring

Ash Hill
Ash hill is nearer to Sangam and it is said that there was a hill from which Ash came from the days of Lord Parashurama. Lord Parashurama performed penance at this place. The ash is very powerful and now it is in the form of Mud only. The wearing of ash by mixing with oodi is very powerful and it will protect those persons from DRISHTI doshas. It will protect the children for Baalarishta and Graha dosha. If the ash is applied slightly everyday on the stomach part of pregnant ladies, then they will deliver a healthy child with some "Tejarupa". Several experiences were also observed with this application of the Ash on pregnant ladies.
