NARAYANA GURU

The Passing Away of the Guru

The Guru became seriously ill in September 1928. He could not leave the bed for sometime. Devotees came in huge crowds to have the last Darshan. In the same year, his devotees in many places, mostly in Kerala, Madras and Simhala celebrated the birthday of the Guru. His chief disciple Dr. Natarajan (later Nataraja Guru - who also recently passed away) was then in Geneva. The Guru's birthday was celebrated in that distant city of Europe also. On the twentieth of September, the Guru passed away at Varkala, a place which was very dear to him. His followers felt a great loss. The world too lost a truly great teacher.

Thus Nanu, the son of a farmer, who became 'Asan', 'Yogi 'and 'Guru', found his final resting place. Thousands of his disciples who followed him with absolute faith derived peace, spiritual strength and satisfaction.
