Mahasamādhi

Mahāsamādhi (the great and final samādhi) is the act of consciously and intentionally leaving one's body . A realized yogi (male) or yogini (female) who has attained the state of nirvikalpa samādhi, will, at an appropriate time, consciously exit from their body. This is known as mahāsamādhi. This is not the same as the physical death that occurs for an unenlightened person.
