Swami Turiyananda(Harinath ) throws away his body on 21^st July 1922

The night before his death, he said to his attendants, “tomorrow is the last day.” Towards the end, he chanted, “Om Ramakrishna, Om Ramakrishna.” Then he asked an attendant to help him sit up. With folded hands, he saluted the Master and then drank a little holy water. He then summed up his life’s experience: “Everything is real. Brahman is real. The world is real. The world is Brahman. The life force is established in Truth. Hail Ramakrishna! Hail Ramakrishna! Say that he is the embodiment of Truth, an embodiment of Knowledge.” He then recited a Upanishadic mantram along with Swami Akhandananda “Satyam jnananm anantam Brahma” (Brahman is Truth, Knowledge, and Infinity.) Slowly he closed his eyes as if merging into Brahman. Sri Ramakrishna had once remarked about Turiyananda, “He comes off that transcendent region whence name and form are manufactured.”
