"The Last Smile"Swami Paramahansa Yogananda
Highest Divine Swan of Yoga-Bliss
Taken an hour before his Mahasamadhi
or final conscious exit from the mortal body.
March 7, 1952
In his eyes I see the culmination of a lifetime of
Compassion
Service
and Love for the Lord.
This is one of my favorite photos of Him.
Like a few other great saints
Yoganada's body remained immutable
even after his departure.
"No physical disintegration was visible in his body even twenty days after death... This state of perfect preservation of a body is, so far as we know from mortuary annals, an unparalleled one... He looked on March 27th as fresh and as unravaged by decay as he had look on the night of his death."

It is a symbol of his continued service
To his faithful devotees
And to humanity.

"My countless brothers! I shall wait for all... through Whispers from Eternity I shall gently say: 'Awake! Following His ever-calling voice, let us go home together.'"
