Shri Satyanidhi Teertharu took over the responsibility of Uttaradi Matha during the year 1638 AD and ruled the pontificate throne with great honour and remarkable distinction. He was formerly known as Kauligi Raghupathyacharya.

In order to explain the significance of Madhva Vaishnavism and Dvaita philosophy Shri Satyanidhi Teertharu toured extensively and visited important religious centers in south India. Shri Satyanidhi Teertharu met Shri Raghavendra Teertharu in Kumbhakonam.

Shri Satyanidhi Teertharu ordained sanyasa to Shri Sayananda Teertharu and Shri Gunanidhi Teertharu with an intention to propagate the Dvaitha Philosophy. Thereafter Shri Swamiji marched with his disciples towards the rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra. Though no direct evidence is available on his works, it is known that he has written "Vishnu Sahasranama Vyakhyana".

Shri Satyanidhi Teertharu ruled the Vendantha Samrajya for a period of nearly 22 years with a remarkable distiction and his life was a saga of supreme spiritual achievements. Many prople were uplifted with his guidance and blessings. He entered the Brindavana on the tenth day of the bright half of the month of Margasheersha in the year 1660 AD near the "Nivruthi Sangam" where the river Krisha and Tungabhadra join in the Kurnool District of Andhra Pradesh.

Due to the recent construction of the Shrisailam Hydro Electric Power Project, the Moola Brindava of Shri Satyanidhi Teertharu situated at Nivruthi Sangam submerged in dam water. Now the same has been rebuilt at Kurnool in the same architectural model as those in the Nivruthi Sangam Shri Satyapramoda Teertharu Swamiji of Shri Uttaradi Matha wanted to save the Moola Brindavana of Shri Satyanidhi Teertharu which was to be affected under dam wanter . Shri Satyapramoda Teertharu Swamiji went to the spot with his disciples and offered the pooja near the sannidhana of the Moola Brindavana for an hour and ordered the disciples to dismantle the Brindavana.

When the disciples started to remove granite stone panels of Brindavana , they were surprised that they smelled the perfumes of Shri Gandha from the Moola Brindavana of Shri Satyanidhi Teertharu. It is very interesting to convey that the disciples and swamiji found a saligram, Japamala and Counch (Kamandala), the Kamandala was full of crystal clear water seemed to have been filled up on the same day. Shri Satyapramoda Teertharu Swami and the disciples who attended in the dismantling work wondered at the divine power of His Holiness. He was such a great mystic and storehouse of penance. Shri Satyapramoda Teertharu swamy sprinkled the Kamandala water on the disciples.

After completion of dismantling work the structure was carried to Kurnool and restructured in the permises of the Uttaradi Matha in the same architectural model as at Nivruthi Sangam dring the year 1984.
