In a stunning revelation from Karnataka’s coastline, Sampadak Express brings you a story from deep within the Gokarna jungles. A Russian woman, with her two young daughters, lived inside a remote cave for nearly seven years. Isolated from society, she embraced a life of meditation, yoga, and spiritual practices.
A Jungle That Became Home
The 40-year-old woman, Nina Kutina aka Mohi, entered India in 2016 on a business visa. By 2017, her visa expired. Instead of returning home, she moved into Uttara Kannada’s forested hills. She built a life beneath Ramteerth’s slopes, in a cave 500 meters above sea level.
Her daughters—Preya (6) and Ama (4)—were born right there. Nina never visited a hospital. She taught her children yoga, painting, and meditation. Sampadak Express sources confirm the trio slept on plastic sheets, woke with the sunrise, and meditated under moonlight.
Spiritual Shelter Revealed
On July 9, forest patrol spotted fabric and plastic covers near the cave. A foreign child ran out. Police entered and found a simple sanctuary with Rudra idols, spiritual symbols, and Russian scriptures.
Despite risks like venomous snakes and landslides, Nina and her daughters remained unharmed. She called snakes her companions and relied on instant noodles, fruits, and herbs for food. The family lived like ascetics.
Sampadak Express Reports Diplomatic Steps Ahead
Officials retrieved her expired documents and contacted the Russian consulate. Nina and her daughters now stay at an ashram in Kumta Taluk, guided by a local swami.
The story, shared exclusively by Sampadak Express, reveals not just a dramatic lifestyle choice but the timeless pull of India’s spiritual landscape. Whether a deep renunciation or escape from modern life, the cave—known locally as ‘Gau Garbh’—stands as a symbol of mysticism and retreat.
