I just received this message from a devotee of Swami Chidananda who was a brother monk and deeply beloved by our own dear Sri Gurudev - I believe they felt so close to each other they would even sometimes call themselves the "twin brothers".
"Dear Friends,
Yesterday evening H.H. Swami Chidananda Maharaj, my Guru and the President of the Divine Life Society, attained Mahasamadhi (consciously left his body; great sages leave their body at will at the time of death). Early this morning his body was immersed in the Ganges as is the tradition amongst Hindu monks.
Swami Chidananda was considered a great Sage ‘an Enlightened Being’, who was a world teacher having taught all over the world spreading the teachings of Yoga and particularly the teachings of his Guru, H.H. Swami Sivanandaji.
All who met him were impressed by his immense compassion and unconditional love to one and all. His whole life was dedicated to the service of humanity. He used to say to his devotees don’t be sad once I pass away as I will then not be limited by this body I will be everywhere, just as his name connotes “one who is in the highest consciousness and bliss". Love and Light Sharon "
