4. Phalani
Param Guru His Holiness Sri Swami Shivananda Paramahamsa lived up to
75 years of age and attained Jeeva Samadhi on 21st of June 1949 on
the way to Kodai Canal, in a sacred town called Palani. Either it is
divine or intentional that same day June 21st is declared as World
Yoga Day. The body of Shri Shivananda Paramahamsar was taken from
Palani to Vatakara for Samadhi. As the samadhi body is being placed
in car his forehead had a tiny scratch, small amount of blood oozed
out. This proves that yogis when they take samadhi the life force
'prana' is inside, even though there is no respirations outside they
are still alive.
'Natasya prana utkramanti atriva samavaliyante'
(Brihadaranyakopanishath).
