Shivabalayogi in 1953, at age eighteen after about four years of tapas.
The long fingernail of his right thumb is visible.
Shivabalayogi would return to ordinary consciousness at midnight in order to
bathe and perhaps drink his glass of milk. Like the ancient yogis
(rishis), he let his hair and nails grow long.
