Social responsibility
Shri Satyatma Tirtha, through Uttaradi Math, encouraged water harvesting and management expert, the waterman of India and Ramon Magsaysay Award winner Rajendra Singh to give lecture on water conservation and other topics.[7] Through Uttaradi Math and jointly with Vishwa Madhva Maha Parishat, he is instrumental in helping needy students every year to the tune of Rs.5.00 lakhs (About US$10,000).[8]
Flood relief
He has supplied relief materials to flood victims of Bellary, Bijapur, Raichur and Bagalkot districts during 2009 floods and also took measures to construct 100 low cost houses to those who lost houses in the flood.[8] He has also adopted a rural village in Raichur, Karnataka[3] for integrated development of the village. He is reportedly trying to redefine the role of religious 'math' in modern day society, so that present day 'math' should try to get rid of evils of modern society.[3]
Spiritual discourses
His spiritual discourses (pravachana) attract large gatherings, mainly from followers of Madhvacharya and he specialises in talks on Vedic subjects.[9] He has given spiritual discourses at several places like Bangalore,[10] Gulbarga, Malkheda, Udupi, Rajahmundry,[9] Hyderabad (India),[3] Pune,[4] Raichur,[3] Dharwad[3] and Chennai.[3] He has also conducted personality development programmes and has written several books on topics like personality development, religion and philosophy.[11] Satyatma Tirtha, as the present head of Uttaradi Matha, has also encouraged other authors to write books on religious experiences.[12]
