Sir Satyanidhi Theertha was looking after the administration of the Mutt even during the time of Sri Dayanidhi Theertha. He was also responsible for the large-scale development of the Mutt. He had served the Mutt for about 45 years before taking over the Mutt.

He was a great scholar like his Guru and was a follower of Bhakti philosophy. He believed in serving the needy and did a lot of work in this regard. He was strict in his eating habit and dedicated most of his time for worshipping and serving people.

Even at the ripe age of 100 he used to do the daily pooja at the Mutt and was involved in various other activities regularly. At this age he visited Udipi and Pajaka, and worshipped Lord Kirshna and Durgadevi.

He decided to handover the administration of the Mutt to his son-in-law Sri Jayarajarcharya. He named him Sir Vijayanidhi Theertha and handed over the Mutt to him in 1980. Sir Satyanidhi Theertha was immortalised in Brindavan in Mulbagal on Ashada bahula shashti.
