The Lifeless or Clinically dead state in Samadhi

In the second technique of attaining the state of samadhi,the atma-tattva(soul or pure consciousness)along with the accumulating prana-shakti (life force) and the linga sharira (the subtle body), transcends the brahmrandhra (crown centre) and resorts to the outer cosmic space.

Are there any evidences from the annals of history that acknowledge the lifeless or clinically dead state in samadhi?

Indeed,the clinically dead condition of the body in the state of samadhi finds acknowledgement not just in history but also in philosophical and scriptural texts.To quote a few:

1)Historical Evidences-Flipping through the pages of history,we find numerous instances wherein the symptoms of lifelessness or clinical death are reflected in the state of samadhi of saints,yogies,and satgurus.For example-

a)samadhi of shridi Sai Baba

      Sai Baba entered into Nirvikalpa Samadhi by transcending his prana to outer cosmic space.His skin tone altered.At once,his eyeballs turned upwards and gradually got covered with eyelids.Instantly,Sai fell lifeless.His heartbeat stopped and all bodily functions came to a halt.It seemed as if his prana had left the body.Doctors declared his state as death due to an asthmatic attack. Narasimha Swami,a well-known biographer writes-'Even the color of sai's body turned livid.'

samadhi

                                          Samadhi Neither a comma,Nor  a Full stop!

Mundakopanishad

The Atman is great,divine and beyond comprehension.It is subtler than the subtlest and effulgent ;and, despite being farther than the farthest,it is situated very close to us.It is seated in the agayachakra or hridayaguha(spiritual heart) of the beholder.

Apart from the atma-tattva,another element that has a significant role to play while undertaking the state of samadhi is a dynamic energy known as prana-shakti or the prana(life force)

Prashnopanishad

The prana says -I sustain the human garb by disintegrating myself into five parts vis-a -vis prana,apana,vyana,udana and samana.These five pranas pulsate through out the body and keep all the biological processes functional.The conglomerated form of these five pranas is called prana-shakti

It is a noteworthy fact that the human mind,which is the regulator of sensory faculties,shares an interwoven connection with the prana-shakti.

Hatha Yoga pradeepika 

Meaning,the cessation of pranic activity ceases the functions of the Mind as well and vice-versa.Also,with either of the two(prana or mind)becoming active,the other also attains an active state.

In the first technique of assuming the state of samadhi,the atma-tattva draws out the prana-shakti from each and every pore of the body and brings it as own seat-the hridayaguha or agyachkra.Thereafter,the atma-tattva trancends upwards from the hridayaguha(agyachakra)and gets established at the brahmrandhra,also called as the sahasrara chakra(crown centre).
