| Swamiji's Final Exit from Mortal Frame : |
| |
Throughout his life, Swamiji enjoyed a good health. A week before his final exit from life, Swamiji’s consciousness went inward. On November 13, 1960 Swamiji started a very rapid Ram Jaap at about 8.30 p.m. His disciples: Bhagat Hansraj Ji, Smt.Shakuntala Devi Ji, Shri Premnath Sethiji, Chaudhary Mehar Singh, Lala Bhagwandass Katyal were at his bed side. At 10p.m., Swamiji opened his eyes, waved his blessings to all bystanders and entered Mahasamadhi at the ripe age of 99 in the house of Lala Bhagwan Dass Katyal i.e. 21, Bunglow Road, New Delhi. His body was taken to Haridwar, kept in Sri Ram Sharnam there, given a final farewell according to Sanyasi rituals, placed in a decorated Hindola, taken round the city in a large procession with a mix-up of the sounds of the conchs, bells and bands. The Hindola was taken to Neeldhara & the Swamiji was given a final farewell in the sacred waters of the Ganga, the holy river of India. True to his word, when Swami Satyanandji gave up his mortal frame, he had no pice in his pocket, no piece of land, no bank account & not a single almond from any offering. His books are his best memorials. “No memorial need be built”, Swamiji foretold his disciples.
