Arriving in San Francisco in 1957, he taught himself to drive and spent the next year driving throughout North America, studying the lifestyles of its people. In 1971, Swami made headlines by flying around the world in his Piper Apache plane, painted by the American artist Peter Max. Hemarched through the streets of Belfast with actor Peter Sellars, chanting and praying for peace. A tireless worker for world peace and inspiring teacher, he attained Maha-samadhi on November 9, 1993.
