Shivabalayogi Bannerghatta, Bangalore

Early film of Shivabalayogi and the first ashram on Bannerghatta Road in Bangalore, India. This ashram was inaugurated on August 7, 1963, and served as the main ashram until the International Centre was inaugurated at the J.P. Nagar (district) of Bangalore on August 7, 1977.

As with so many films and videos of Shivabalayogi, one sees many people in bhava samadhi (spiritual trance), particularly during bhajans (spiritual song). Devotees recall that the intensity of the bhava samadhi during bhajans was so great that visitors would pass into trance while still kilometers away.

It was at the Bannerghatta Road ashram that Shri Swamiji sat in tapas (meditation in samadhi) for one year for world peace.

The bhajan on the soundtrack, "Om Namah Shivaya, Shivaya Namah Om" was recorded in Bangalore in 1991.

It's my feeling that that is how it works. The tapas is being done now, in our homes, and in our hearts.
