Kaliji arrived in Barnaul, Siberia at 6 am on April 21, and was greeted by a crowd of excited TriYogis.
Many had tears of happiness in their eyes, as they had not seen Kaliji for 5 years.
From the airport, Kaliji was taken to her residence, a beautiful house surrounded by nature. She stayed
in the same place where Russian president Vladimir Putin stayed when he visited Barnaul.
On the way, Kaliji stopped to walk among Siberian birch trees.
