Maharaji took samadhi in the holy city of Vrindavan on 11 September 1973. Vrindavan is the city of Lord Krishna's childhood. Lord Krishna has said that in kalyug if you need to find me, I can be found only in Vrindavan.
Mukti (salvation) cries in the lanes of Vrindavan asking Lord Krishna to free her and tell her the path to salvation. Lord Krishna says, "Stay in the lanes of this land (Vrindavan) where saints keep coming and going. When the sand of Braj (the land where Lord Krishna performed his acts) will touch your forehead, you will be freed from all"
Many saints have come to Vrindavan and left their physical body here. This holy land attracted Maharajji too during his last days and just before his death he came to Vrindavan from Kainchi. Maharajji was very close to nature and so he chose this place which abounds in natural treasures like peacocks, cows, cuckoos, monkeys and the river Yamuna. He decided to leave for the heavenly abode on the land which has been the playground of Lord Krishna. By doing so he achieved the highest degree of happiness and has been delivering the same happiness to his devotees ever since.
