When a sufficient number of followers came to the group, "Ashram Shambala" began to organize spirit classes in the basement of the school on Relsovaya Street in [[Zayeltsovsky City District, Novosibirsk|Zaeltsovsky District]]. Rudnev had first called himself Guru Sotidanandana for a good promotion, then the legend was invented that a sage living in Tibet is a teacher of Rudnev, etc.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://academ.info/news/9764|title=В поселке Кирова обнаружен штаб тоталитарной секты "Ашрам Шамбалы"|website=academ.info}}</ref>
