Can we alter our time of death by taking better care of ourselves and by praying. Or when it’s time to go, no one can alter that?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

This is a mystery. There is a possibility to extend life if the soul desires it. But that should be an innate desire from the soul and not from someone else. Sometimes, someone else’s desire can also work, but that is only sometimes.

This is a well-guarded secret as to when someone is to exit from this planet. Meditation, yoga and taking good care of oneself will definitely have an impact.
