Announced to the Public in January 1974
Swami Niranjanananda (Pandalai Maharaj), aged 91, passed away
at Vallikkot on the 20th December 1973 at 5 pm owing to old-age
ailments. An initiated disciple of Srimat Swami Nirmalananda ji
Maharaj, he joined the Haripad Ashrama in 1921 and had Sannyasa
from his Diksha-Guru in 1923. Besides serving as the Head of the
Tiruvalla Ashrama for a long time, he was the editor of the
Prabuddha Keralam for over twelve years and wrote a commentary

of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda in Kerala.
