Enlightened souls like Sadasiva's lives were marked with strange events and episodes. He took to wandering from place to place. He reached Nerur at the banks of the river Cauvery, where His Samadhi is found now and worshipped by people.

Once as Sadhasiva Brahmendral sat on a rock steeped in meditation, the fury of the waters swept Him away burying Him under the sand. He lay buried lost in unfathomable depths of being, his body completely senseless to the outward happenings. It was after six months, that when some men were digging the sand their axe struck His head with blood oozing out alarming the people. He just left the place uncomplaining without out the least bit of pain composing a Kirtan 'that He is the Brahman'. It was since then He came to be known as Sadasiva Brahmendral. Such was His disassociation with the body!

Another instance that marked the disorientation of the body with the self in the case of Sadasiva Brahmendral was that when he once fell in between two bundles of straw when farmers not noticing it piled bundle after another over Him.
