Video of Adivarapupeta recorded in 1994 shows the village and the ashram.

We see the villagers weaving cloth, and children swimming in the Godavari canal, just like Swamiji did when he was a boy.

Also shown are the place by the canal where Shivabalayogi was initiated into tapas, and the meditation temple (Dhyana Mandir) where he sat for almost ten of his twelve-year meditation.
