Soon after becoming the pIThAdipati, he began a series of piligrimages that took him to several places. In his initial tour, he started going East and south. He visited ParipUrNadevanagar, KamalAlaya, the place where Kaveri reaches the Bay of Bengal, Champakeshwara, Rameshwara, Alagiri, Anantashayana, Janardhana, Tirunelveli and reached Madurai.
Wherever he went, his agenda was simple – visiting local shrines, spreading the message of Sri madAchArya, defeating scholars of opposing doctrines, converting deserving people to dvaita, continuing to write commentaries and notes, teaching shAstras to enthusiastic students, and encouraging local scholars.
