Tapoleela Journal

It was the day of completion, and out of the crucible of tapas emerged one of the greatest saints of the 20th Century - Shri Shri Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj.

The night before, Shri Swamiji's mother and a few other witnesses saw divine light come down from the sky and enter the meditation temple (dhyana mandir) where Shivabalayogi was sitting in meditation.  They described it as a very great light, brilliant in intensity. The next day, August 7th, a crowd estimated by reporters to be around a hundred thousand gathered to see the yogi emerge from his tapas. The media had been notified of this extraordinary event and people were eagerly awaiting the precious moment when they would have darshan, the blessings of the great yogi's presence.

Shivabalayogi emerged and appeared on a platform lashed to the second story of the meditation temple. The vast crowd surged and pressed against the poles holding the platform and threatened to push people into the nearby deep pond.  There were a hundred and eighty police plus many volunteers, but they were helpless against so many thousands of people.  Serious injury seemed certain when Shivabalayogi gazed upon the crowd. The pushing and shoving immediately stopped and the crowd became calm.

Shivabalayogi then spoke to the crowd and explained that his tapas was done to help bring peace to the world.
