The literature written on the life of Chaitanya Maha Prabhu reveals that the room in which he lived

vibrated the chant he repeated after his death. I once had such an experience in the city of Kanpur.
There is a family of doctors whose mother was a great devotee of the Lord. She was my initiate. Six
months before her death she decided to live in a room by herself, remembering the Lords name and
meditating. After six months she fell sick and became bedridden. The time of her parting seemed
imminent. Her older son, Dr. A. N. Tandon, was very much attached to his mother. He wanted to
remain by her side. His mother said, I dont want you to be attached to me. Dont sit next to me
anymore! I have done my duties toward you. I have to walk all alone during the journey. Your
attachment will not help me in any way. Ordinarily dying people become lonely and frightened. A
sense of false security grows, and they become deeply attached to their children and things they
possess. But this woman was constantly at peace, completely absorbed in the name of the Lord. She
said to her sons, I am in great joy. Your attachment toward me has no power to hold me on this
mortal plane.
