In January 1961, Kodi Swamigal arrived in Coimbatore. He visited Arunachalam and Jagadambika (sister of Ekambaram) at their house opposite Nirmala College on Appuswamy Road.
During his stay at Jagadambika's house. Kodi Swamigal resided on the top floor of the house. Once, Ambigainathan and Ekambaram went to see Kodi Swamigal when he stayed at Jagadambika’s house in Coimbatore, but they couldn’t find him. They searched everywhere and eventually found him sitting deep in meditation inside a water tank.
It was a hot summer afternoon, but Kodi Swamigal wasn’t bothered by the heat. He walked out of the tank calmly, surprising Ekambaram and Ambigainathan, who were puzzled by his behaviour.
