Merging Back to The Infinite

At Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, California, on 3 August 1993, after forty-two years of tireless service as a towering figure of the Hindu Renaissance, Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda (1916–1993) departed from his physical body to shine forever as the Infinite Presence. His body, which had served as a living embodiment of the scriptures, was returned to Mother Bharat on 7 August. Two days later, on 9 August 1993, with profound reverence, it was interred in Bhu Samadhi on the sacred soil of Sidhbari.
