The Guru attained Mahasamadhi in this Vaidika Mutt on 20th Sep. 1928 thursday at 3.33 p.m. The cot and chair used by the Guru, his walking stick, his foot – wear, and water-pots are preserved here as sacred memoirs. A picture of the Guru adorns the room facing the visitors, and an undying lamp (kedavilakku ) is kept burning here. Pilgrims and visitors can see all these through the open window and experience the presence of Gurudev here. This is a place of peace, meant for meditation.
