With Utter grief I am placing the last photographs of HH Swamiji taken in his presence on 17.2.2014 at Guntur

HH was bed ridden and spent more than a month in a stage of unconsciousness. Most of us visited many a times during this period when we understood the health condition of His Holiness. Myself and My wife traveled to Guntur quite a number of times on knowing HH was not in good condition. 17th of February we drove our car directly to Guntur when we were informed that HH condition was quite serious. On 16th February in the night hours we passed a message to one of HH attendants that I am visiting Guntur on 17th. HH was not in a position to hear to any one. Incidentally the attendant passed on the message of my arrival to Guntur on 17th in the ears of HH. It might be the affection HH has on me; might be our relation; might be we are close to heart to heart; HH got up on 17th to the surprise of everyone, and asked his attendant to take him out and make him to sit in chair and repeatedly enquired about my arrival. We reached Guntur by Lunch hours and HH condition is presented for the benefit of all viewers. HH got up from his bed, asked my wife to bring coconut water( my wife always serves coconut water to HH for the past three decades plus), and asked my wife to keep him in sitting condition and he drank all the water. Surprisingly he recognized me by name; my wife by name and called both of us; asked us to bring sacred "akshatas" and blessed us. I collected a few "Akshatas" from the hands of HH and preserved them. HH uttered the words "Padmavathy" - the name of my wife, and we were not aware that these were the last words of HH. We returned back to Hyderabad by night and by the time we reached Hyderabad, we had the saddest news of "HH taking brindavan".
