Oct. 1907, Rabidranath was thinking about Samindranath's accomodation during Puja vacation this year. He wrote to Srish Chandra Majumdar, Sami does not like to go to Calcutta. In Bolpur he feels lonely. I 'm thinking of sending him to Munger within a day or two.I think this will be alright. Jagadananda Roy will fetch him to Munger and come back.Sami occupies so small space and does no disturbance that you will not have any difficulty to keep him.He will not do any harm to the peaceful situation there. Mira is as it is.Sometimes I think that I shall take her for a change in Selaidah.But cannot settle it now. At present I shall go to Bolpur to make Sami's journey to Munger.On the next day ( 15th Oct) he wrote to Bhupendranath , Today I'm going to Bolpur to make Sami's journey to Munger with Jagadananda Roy. Details when we meet.Perhaps Bela will start to Muzaffarpur tomorrow.Probably , on 16th Oct, on the day of Bijoya Dashami, Sami started for Munger. That was the maternal uncle's house of his friend Saroj Chandra Majumdar. That was his last journey from Santiniketan. He did not come back again because he died at Munger, due to a severe attack of cholera there.
There were 8 days to reopen the School at Santiniketan. Bhupendranath had not yet arrived in the premises. Rabindranath wrote some letters to him. He was seriously thinking about the School.In the mean time a bad news arrived at his place. Samindranath had been attacked with Cholera at Munger. Rabindranath started for Munger with a Doctor immediately.At that time, there was a strike called by the workers of the E.I. Railways.Communication was not smooth. However they reached Munger and learnt that Sami was a bit better. Rabindranath was making arrangements to bring him to Calcutta in a 2nd Class Reserved Compartment. But all on a sudden there had been a fresh attack. Rabindranath changed his treatment from Alopathy to Homeopathy. He himself was a good Homeopathy doctor.Two renowned Homeopathy doctor of Munger took the charge of his treatment. He himself, also tried to assist them. But ultimately nothing could save Sami from the severe attack of Cholera and he expired early in the morning of 18th Nov. 1907 when he was 11 years old keeping his father spell bound.
Many days after Rabindranath wrote to Mira on 28th Aug. 1932, consoling her at the death of Nitindranath (7th aug. 1932), grandson of Rabindranath, referring the sad demise of Samindranath,
I said full heartedly to the supreme authority, let his journey be smooth and carefree , let my bereavement cannot pull him back We were moving in the next night when Sami expired through a train which was flooded with the moon light of Raspurnima (19th Nov) depicting abondance of wealth denouncing any kind of shortage in his ultimate journey. It was my earnest desire that I may go on doing my duties so long as I live .
The character of Amal in Dakghar was probably created in the light of Sami. In his early days Sami could recite from memory the difficult verses of Bisarjan drama and 'could copy the style of uttering Mantra as 'Rabikaka did' said Mira Devi. It was 20 days left of his 12th birth day and a lapse of 4 years from the date of his mother's demise.
