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'.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Competition is. In every business, no matter how small or how large, someone is just around the corner forever trying to steal your ideas and build his success out of your imagination, struggling after that which you have toiled endless years to secure, striving to outdo you in each and every way. If such a competitor would work as hard to originate as he does to copy, he would much more quickly gain success.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
