His Last Years
From 1930 onwards his health broke down rapidly. During his last years he initiated quite a large number of people. He had to perform so much of work that it was quite impossible for him to eat at a proper time, and sometimes he even forgot to eat. In April 1933 he suffered a stroke and developed paralysis of one side. On 20 February 1934, a few days after Sri Ramakrishna’s birthday, Mahapurush Maharaj died. His memory is kept alive at Belur Math in the small room adjacent to the Old Shrine as the 'Room of Shivananda'.
