[1] He believed in the Dharma(the correct way to live one's life) and was trained in the Sanskrit Scriptures under 'Swami Raghunāth Shāstri[2] and 8 other special scholars from Kashmir.

[4] He was ordained as the shishya(disciple) of the incumbent Mathādhipati(Head of the community) Swami Krishnāshram at the age of 10 in 1857.

[7] "...the young Shishya, Pandurangashram Swami used to play games in which items such as a Palki and a Chariot featured.

First, during the tours of North and South Kanara which the Guru Swami undertook with His young Shishya, the local Grihasthas at various places suggested that a Car Festival be held at Shri Chitrapur Math as was done at several other religious centres.

Second, about three years after the ordination, Pandurangashram Swami was very keen on attending the Car Festival in nearby Bhatkal but was dissuaded by His Guru as it was not befitting Their Order.

However, the Guru was so impressed by the Shishya’s fervent desire to see the Car Festival that He promised to hold such a function at Chitrapur.

Shrimat Krishnashram Swami inaugurated the Car Festival at Shri Chitrapur Math, Shirali, on 14 April 1862 (Saka 1784, Dundubhi Samvatsara, Chaitra Sh 15).

"[8] Pāndurangāshram collected vanitga(Donations) from devotees and used it for developmental activities of the matha and the community in general.

Renovation of the samādhis(Shrines) of the previous Swamijis of the Guru Parampara was an important part of Pāndurangāshram's agenda of development.

[14] The community members had migrated to greener pastures in Bombay and Madras during British rule that helped them gain important posts.

Pāndurangāshram believed that foreign visits would expose a man to temptations of other cultures which would blatantly oppose Dharma.

A person's life would be filled with gross materialism and a new culture of forgetting ones roots and even neglecting aged parents, would creep into society.

[18] Swami Pāndurangāshram is said to have acted as the agency of Lord Bhavānishankara in helping devotees entangled in unfair legal cases to be freed from conviction by his sincere prayers.

In the town on Bantwāl, there lived a document writer by the name of Kallē Manjunāthaiya who worked under the then Sub-Registrar Rām Rao.

Pāndurangāshram went to the samādhi(Shrine) of Swami Vāmanāshram at the Mangalore matha(monastery) and prayed for justice to Lord Bhavānishankara.

This case had created quite a stir in Karnataka and soon the trial was nearing an end with the sessions court judge having the opinion that the accused were guilty.

here(July 1954 edition of Sunbeam under title "H.H.Shrimat Pandurangashram Swamiji") As time passed by, the devotees got anxious about the continuation of the Guru Parampara and asked Pāndurangāshram to accept a shishya (disciple) who would succeed him as the Head of the community, but he did not.

Pāndurangāshram was greatly perturbed by the disobedience of community members under his reign:[21] The people who firmly abided by the Dharma and maintained the tradition of the ancestors, were few in number.
