I understand that some most yogi's can choose the time and the place to leave their bodies. Can they do this to other people as well? Let's say a devotee is tired of living in this material world and decides he is ready to leave but cannot do it himself. Can a yogi assist the devotee in leaving his body? I know this is not a common thing but i just want to know if it is possible. Thank you

Prabhuji,
A Yogi Even If he Travels At the speed of mind for Zillions of Years cannot reach the spiritual world himself which is Unlimited what to take another person there. Only Bhakti ,a devotee has the Ticket To Go to the spiritual World.
Haibol,
I never Said Vishhwamitra muni is not a devotee, yes he is a pure devotee and a great yogi as well.
Lord Ramachancdra went with him so he must be a pure devotee.
Also in Tirupathi temple what Suprabhatam we sing, it's written by Vishhwamitra muni.
The final point is, only by devotion one can be elevated to spiritual world not by yogic powers.

Hare Krishna Prabhuji,
No yogi can ever send you to Goloka Vrindavana unless you have pure devotion to Radha Govinda. The yogies can not enter to Goloka Vrindavana since it's a transcendental place for Bhakti and all the yogies do not have Bhakti so is it possible to go there without Bhakti?
So the conclusion is as Srila Prabhupada says master yogies can enter to any planet within material world or they can enter to Vaikunta lokas by pleasing Lord Vishnu.
Yogi may take you to planet within material world like Vishwamitra took Trishanku to heavenly planets but no yogi is so powerful enough to take you to the spiritual world.

Hare Krsna Eddy Aholhosn, you posted a youtube link for Sri Vishnusahasranama. can you forward me the link or can you paste it in this thread please?

Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
At the time of death no one can be with us except God Himself.
No yogi, no one.
Bonafide spiritual master does not show magics but gives instructions following which we will become happy.
We achieve spiritual world not by killing our present body but even being in this body we can enter to spiritual world. If one is tired it means one is not satisfied with life; is not satisfied with his or her own karma.
We cannot escape things but pass the exams;
Sanatana Goswami wanted to commit suicide leaving his body under the chariot of Lord Jagannath.
But Lord Chaitanya told him that if to go to spiritual world WOULD BE THAT EASY I WOULD COMMIT SUICIDE LONG, LONG BACK, BUT IT IS NOT SO.
Lord also told that this body does not belong to him (Sanatana Goswami) so he cannot kill it because it will be a great sin. Lord had special plan for him. Lord wanted to use Sanatana Goswami in the preaching mission...
So same thing can even with us. Lord Krishna has His own plans on us. So we have to surrender to Him.
We will go to spiritual world if we love Krishna and if He loves us. And to love means we give priority to the desires of a beloved keeping ASIDE OUR OWN.
So we have energy to live it means still we have to live and perform Krishna's plans.
NO MATTER HOW SAD OR MISERABLE WE ARE IN THIS WORLD;
WE CHANT HARE KRISHNA MAHA MANTRA BE IT DIFFICULT TO CHANT, we chant even if there is no taste because we know that if we do so we are MAKING KRISHNA HAPPY; Srila Prabhupada happy;
We perform our duties, we take care of our family members, other needy people...no matter how sad we are.
That IS CALLED AS SELFLESSNESS;
That quality will attract Krishna's mercy on us.
Please chant in good days and in bad!
***Tolerance
***Humility
***Always respecting everyone
***not WAITING FOR ANY RESPECT TO OURSELVES
IS THE PATH TO SPIRITUAL WORLD.

PAMHO.
YOu mean can a yogi help such a person to commit suicide? If the yogi is a true yogi, he will teach such a person yoga asanas which will uplift his mood and help fight depression.
Advanced Yogis can choose the time and place of departure from this world - but realistically speaking, such a yogi is very rare and one cannot be sure whether the yogi will deliver what he is promising. In the modern world, he will take all your money and definitely disappear from your life at that appointed hour.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Rashmi
