He had informed many of his disciples beforehand, and when the moment arose, he stood up and turned around three times, and then resumed sitting crossedlegged in the lotus posture, facing north. On March 7, 1952, Paramahansa Yogananda chose to enter the state of Mahāsamādhi.

Sommervogel had intended to compile a second, or historical, part of his work, which was to be a revision of Auguste Carayon's Bibliographie historique. He was a man of exemplary virtue, giving freely to all the fruit of his devoted labours, and content to live for years a busy obscure life to which duty called him, until his superiors directed him to devote himself to his favorite study during the last fifteen years of his life. He re-edited a number of works by old writers of the Society of Jesus and, in addition to his articles in the Études, wrote Table methodique des Mémoires de Trévoux (3 vols., 1885) and Moniteur bibliographique de la Compagnie de Jésus (1894-1901).
