I have always been very curious of what and how Gurudev helped Mataji at the time of her demise. A book was written by Dahyabhai Patel when Mataji passed away. Gurudev was disgusted with the book and he threw the book away.
The reason for his disgust was because the book had absolutely no information about passing away. All it related was things that is seen by ordinary people describing the gross or physical world.
2 days ago, Gurudev told me about her passing away. What did Gurudev do? This is a short recount of what he did. In Gurudev’s own words, the first thing he did was gatther her together – meaning her mind and prana was dispersed. He brought all of her prana and mind together. Then he had the prana go through the Sushumna and at that time Mataji immediately saw 3 great personages. One was Ramakrishna Pramhansa, Ganpati dada and another saint, who I (I as in Bhavin) failed to recognize who had worn totally white clothes.
The greatness of a Gurudev is in this ability. His ability to help anyone at the time of their departure and make the transition very pleasant and divine!
