Shivabalayogi Adivarapupeta 1963 A

First of two films taken in Adivarapupeta, the south Indian village of weavers where Shivabalayogi completed twelve years of meditation in the state of enlightenment.

The opening scenes show the place by the Godavari River canal where the fourteen-year-old yogi was initiated into tapas, then the small temple built where he sat in meditation for more than ten years until he emerged fully Self realized on August 7 of 1961.

Scenes show devotees in procession with the yogi and his mother through the village street. Many people are in divine trance (bhava samadhi), a transforming state of consciousness in which the mind is still and the body is moved by spritual forces. It is a wonderful Divine play to witness and experience.

The final shots are precious glimpses of the great yogi in samadhi, his body moving from powerful spiritual currents, then some shots with his eyes open and giving a powerful look (darshan) that can be felt even through this video.

The bhajan "Sri Balayogisha" was recorded in Adivarapupeta in 1994.

Nice video! I met Shivabalayogi in 1989 when I visited the Avatar Sathya Sai Baba. Shivabala yogi was indeed a very great yogi. I love India and all the Gurus and Saints which have taken birth in that holy land. We are all blessed the hear about them.
