Back to Varkala

He arrived at varkala. For some time, the Guru seemed quite well. The radiant glow on his features had never disappeared. He still retained his good humor and although he was weak in body, he never yielded or compromised. He regained a stage in which he took little walk on his own and , thought highly emaciated was still the same alert, radiant, and kind Guru.

The 73^rd birthday was celebrated by a select group of friends, representatives of different nations and religious, in September, 1928, in the beautiful city of Geneva, For the first time the Guru’s message was proclaimed in the west.

On the 20^th September, 1928, about a week after this event, the Guru entered Maha-Samadhi or the Great silence, peacefully and silently at varkala.
