As the Guru’s light was merging with the light of the Infinite Lord, the atmosphere in Goindwal was becoming fragrant. The sky was assuming the colour of rose and the gentle movement of the breeze was producing the mysterious melody of “hail to the Guru”.
The extent of fragrance spread in the atmosphere was such as if flowers were being showered from the sky.
Cremation of the body was done on the bank of nearby river ‘Beas’.
