This is to inform that our Dearest Swamiji is resting in the little hut next to his Panchagni place.
In 1989 when he came to Rikhia the place had this little dilapidated room, which was repaired and turned into a thatched roof hut. He stayed in it for sometime till his Ganesh Kutir was built. Later the room was used to accommodate other swamis, and as storehouse.
On 6th his body, which was seated in Padmasana, was given full Rudrabhisheka by the same pundits who conduct the Yajna. Around 6 PM his body was lowered in the samadhi pit which was dug inside the small hut by digging through the flooring. He is resting in peace with his beloved Lord Rama and Sita, Sri Yantra, Rudraksha malas, puja items and other spiritual items that have been put in with him.
The Shraddhanjali offerings will continue till 22nd Dec with the various chants.
His Light and Grace will always be with us. And we are all lucky to have seen and lived with a real yogi in our life.
OM shanti
He is resting in the Parna Kutir, the little room next to the Panchagni place and under the shadow of the Rudrakhsa tree. This is the room where He lived for sometime when he moved to Rikhia in 1989 until his Ganesh Kutir was built. OM shanti.
The Last words.....
Paramahamsaji called Swami Satsangi at 11:30 PM and told her that it was time to go. He was sitting in padmasana (lotus pose) doing japa (mantra chanting) and left his body at midnight with a smile on his face.
This great yogi and Guru will be missed in his physical form, but his light will continue to shine, inspiring his disciples and followers with the many teachings he has so generously bestowed upon us.
