Some Indian sources are even claiming he actually received a liver transplant (!) in December, which he did not survive. I hope these are just unfounded claims, as everyone would have the right of getting mad at a 111 year old, already doomed, guy who receives a liver which could have really saved someone else's life.
Shivakumara Swami was a great man. He always advocated for peace and dialogue and guaranteed education for thousands of poor kids. But you judge people not only for how they live, but also for how they die. And he did not die with dignity. He seeked unnecessary treatment when he could have quietly died without suffering in early December, when he showed the early symptoms of liver failure. An outstanding man in life, a shameful one in death.
