As I understand it Mukunda Goswami and other devotees were with George when he left his body According to Shankar George positioned two pictures of Hindu gods Krishna and Rama around his bed and he chanted the Krishna mantra Two more of Georges close friends from the Krishna faith Shayam Sundara and Mukunda were there chanting quietly into their meditation beads while George passed away at pm on the th of November   reference   VNN article  Still the way the description is given needs to be fixed  from the references it does not sound like anyone knows for sure if George was chanting himself ie in his mind as he died Regards
