My friend, Jimmy Vaughn, gave me a Sam stone and I took it with me to
my favorite place on earth: Vivekananda Rock on Wellesley Island. The
picture attached is a tree, which was the site of a powerful
meditation for Swami Vivekananda.”It said that on his last day August
7, 1895 at the Thousand Islands the Swami went into the back woods to
meditate and froze solid in meditation and remained oblivious to
torrential rain and is said to have achieved nirvikalpa Samadhi. (Page

“He wrote from there to a friend:
“I am free, my bonds are cut, what do I care whether this body goes
or does not go? I have a truth to teach—I am a child of God. And He
that gave me truth will send me fellow workers from the earth’s
bravest and best.” Page 105-106
