(28/June/2014) - Kolkata, India
Today Guru Maharaj's servants travelled
from Mayapur to Kolkata. And few from South India. And we all gather together
in Kolkata. Around 7:30pm Guru Maharaj's flight will be arriving from Dubai. So
some of the servants selected to go to Airport to receive Guru Maharaj, somehow
I was not in that list. Then at 9:50 pm Guru Maharaj reached his Flat. I was in
his flat. And the devotees called; and Guru Maharaj was inside the lift. I went
to help him to get out from the lift, to do that, I just have to hold his lotus
feet; so I was just holding up the lotus feet till he enter the home. And
removed his shoes. And went to pick up Guru Maharaj's luggage and some of the
books. When I came back the lift got stuck. So half laggaues were in ground
floor and half reached his residence. So we started to carry those luggages
through staircase. 8 floors... walking...walking... Somehow we reached all the
luggages. Guru Maharaj was chanting his Gayathri.
Around 12 midnight Guru Maharaj
went to brush his teeth... No! No! We forced to brush his teeth. So That He Can
Hit the bed. Then he started brushing... and Guru Maharaj said, count my feet
action. So while brushing he started to chant. This is new. Previously he won't
do like this. I mean counting... obviously he chant 24x7. Today I was counting;
and Guru Maharaj was brushing, brushing... brushing... and it was too long...
and he stopped at one point. It was exactly 108. One round Japa. And I was just
counting inside my mind. That was astonishing for me. He was totally wiped out.
But he is he!!!
Then we somehow, manage to put him on
bed. Before sitting on bed., Guru Maharaj asked, which side is East? We said,
you are in a right position to keep you head, towards East. Then he went to
bed. After that Guru Maharaj asked, where is Victoria? Devotees puzzled? Then
Guru Maharaj asked Where is our ISKCON Kolkata Temple? Which side is Yadu babu
(I didn't understand exactly words) sweet shop? There Rasagulla...? Which is in
bhaul bazaar? Everyone puzzled... why Guru Maharaj asking these questions? But
the reason is if this is East... then Victoria must be this side; ISKCON will
be this side; sweet shop will be this side. So immediately Guru Maharaj
calculated four directions... and said what is there? We all astonished. Such a
great preaching he has done in kolkata; he knows every road of this city... We
all said, tomorrow is Ratha Yatra, you have come from the big yatra (round the
world) now please take rest. Good Night! Guru Maharaj!
It is always wonderful to be with our
wonderful Spiritual Father...
