Summary/Abstract: Lama Lubsan Sandan Tsydenov enjoyed great reverence in Transbaikalia. Therefore, even when he was captured during the Bolshevik siege in 1920, Tsydenov’s followers never believed that their master had been executed. They were convinced that the siddha was immortal and would safely lead them through the chaos of revolutions or civil wars.
