As he was a great bhakta, Iyer decided so. Free and full of prem, he reached Pandaripuram without wasting time and had the coveted darshan. Along with the other devotees, he had the darshan of Shri Hari. He just rolled on the sacred dust of the feet of bhagavatas and attained immeasurable joy. After the festival was over, he returned to Madras, and met his office chief. The chief was terribly angry and drove him out. Kodanda Rama Dasa became very happy. From that moment, he went on roaming on the streets happily singing in praise of Lord Hari, tears filled in his eyes, Veena in his hands, anklets tinkling on his legs, a rosary of Tulasi beads round his neck and a holy turban on his head. He led a calm and peaceful family life with the help of unchavritti. He had risen above all desires, was ever happy, courageous and had complete control of his senses. Many were attracted by the sweetness of Nama kirtan performed by him and became his disciples and daily paid respects to him.
