Maha samaadhi time

According to the directions of Sri Bhagavan, no one was prevented from seeing Him till the very end. After His body had been seated in padmasanam (LOTUS POSTURE), every breath went on steadily, and at 8.47 p.m. on Friday the 14th April 1950 Sri Bhagavan removed His human disguise and shone unveiled in His own nature as the Whole – the one infinite space of Self, where there is no coming or going. At that moment, devotees on the temple veranda saw a bright light flash and engulf the small room where Sri Bhagavan was seated, but before they were able to conclude that it could have been a powerful photographic flash-light, others who were standing in the open exclaimed, “Jyoti, jyoti (LIGHT, LIGHT) in the sky,” for a brilliant meteor had suddenly appeared in the sky; it moved northward towards Arunachalam and vanished behind the summit. Glory to Sri Ramana, the Light of Arunachalam!
The sacred body of Bhagavan Sri Ramana was interred between the Hall where He had lived continuously for about twenty-eight years and Sri Matrubhuteswara temple. A Sivalingam was installed on His Samadhi and named Sri Ramanalinga Murti. A simple yet majestic temple was erected over it and was consecrated by Kumbhabhishekam on the 18th June 1967; later a large auditorium was added to it for conducting celebrations.
The Shrine of Grace (sannidhi) of Sri Arunachalaramanan, who by His life exemplified the truth ‘I am not this body, I am the ever-existing Supreme Thing’, is ever quenching the thirst of the world for Jnana with the nectar of Grace flowing in the form of Silence.
