Picnic at Cauvery River
Shivabalayogi often enjoyed outings with devotees, particularly after ashram functions. After the August 7, tapas anniversary function at the Bangalore ashram, Shri Swamiji asked devotees to organize a three-day outing along the Cauvery (Kaveri) River on Karnataka. Three busloads full accompanied Swamiji bathing in the acred river at Sangam, Sri Ranga Pattana and at the source, Talakaveri in the Western Ghats. Along the way, Swamiji and devotees were hosted to picnics, dinners and lodging.
