Below is the miracle performed by Guru Raghavendra Swamy at Sankapura.
Thanks to http://raghavendramutt.org for sharing the below details. I am re-sharing the information in the below post.
********************************************************************************
Sankapura is one among 700 places where Sri Vyasaraja Teertha has consecrated idols of Sri Mukhya Prana. This temple is now situated at the outskirts of Sankapura village. (Gadwal Tq. of Mahaboob Nagar Dist. - Andhra Pradesh) The idol of Sri Hanuman is eye catchy. This was a favorite place of Sri Gopaladasaru. He did meditation for many years here and obtained Gayatri Sidhi. The peepal tree under which He did this achievement is still sheltering millions of birds and creatures. Under this tree there established a Vishnupada creating a replica of Gaya Kshetra. Altogether these entire elements are giving an extraordinary divine atmosphere to this village, though it is a barren land.
The early morning sun-rays of 15th of April 2012 were welcomed here with Vedic Recitation in high tempo. Around 2 to 3 thousands of devotees witnessed a historical event at this place. This history was created under the benediction of His Holiness 108 Sri Suyateendra Teertha Sripadangalavaru by organizing a successful Samoohika Dharmopanayana (Charity Thread ceremony) at this sacred place. Around 100 Vatus took oath of Brahmacharya in this holy place and at the end His Holiness Sri Swamiji gave them all Narayana Mantra and Sri Raghavendra Ashtakshara Mantra Upadesha. Devotees from Hyderbad, Kurnool, Gadwal, Bengalooru, Anantapur, Manavi, Gulburga and other places participated in this program to seek blessings of Mantralaya Mahaprabhu Sri Rayaru. Students of our Vidyapeetha are direct responsible for successful rituals.

Everyone expressed happiness for such an opportunity and said they took it like they are performing function at their home! The credit of handling such a successful program goes to Sri Prahlada Yuva Mandala which is a sister organization of Srimatha for enthusiastic Maadhwa youths.
A miracle.
Arrangements of such a massive programme were ignited around 10 days before the commencement of Upanayana. Big pendals to accommodate around 4000 people including staff & Volunteers were erected early enough. There were two other pendals for Jnana Yajna & Kitchen set up. On 14th of March at midnight every one except volunteers were fast asleep. At an unfortunate moment an unforeseen storm hit this area followed by a big rain. An obvious tense was formed in organizers which could even end up in an embarrassing failure of programme. It rained about 15 minutes that made all the sheds to drench totally. Some of the walls of exterior pendals got collapsed partially. This incident created a frustration in crowd. But even at such chaotic circumstance the state of mind of His Holiness Sri Srigalu was very pacific. He politely instructed the organizers to gather in front of Sri Pranadevaru and chant Sri Raghavendra Stotra. Accordingly it was done. The first cycle of Chanting was just completed. What a wonder! The rain stopped in the very next moment and the storm turned up a breeze! Immediately volunteers took action to repair the broken walls. By grace of Sri Rayaru and Gopaladasaru everything was restructured within 20 mins! The Upanayana program started at 4.00 AM.
Astonishingly, the rain and storm were very much active till 6AM in the village and surrounding places! People arrived from other places on 15th morning experience the after rain effect throughout their way, but wondered for not seeing any symptoms of storm at Pranadevara Sannidhana.
While delivering the divine speech, Sri Swamiji described “this incident shows the mercy of Sri Rayaru. Everyone should indulge in sacred practices to avoid such natural intrusions”
