(31/JUL/2014) - Sri Mayapur, India

Today morning I went to see Guru Maharaj At 10am. I heard that, Guru Maharaj that he will be going to attend the morning meeting. But when went up; Ekanath Pr asked me; why you didn't arrange for the video conferencing and asked me to arrange it; as yesterday's video conferencing was not good. In the conferencing hall; audio setup was bad. Then today, I went with Hari Sankar and Narasimha Mayapur TV to get the audio cables. But we couldn't locate that lengthy cable. As we needed 75 meters. Finally we got it after Rajapur from Reshma Sound system. We waited and made it as per all our needs. Then we came back at 12:30pm. And myself and Janakiram pr arranged and tested the whole system. It was a big deal to do get all these done here in Mayapur.  It is just an ordinary job. But, it took lot of our time here. Somehow,  we made it.

Then Guru Maharaj after his afternoon rest. He suppose to attend the meeting via our setup. But, he was tired so, he slept. And got up at 5 pm.  Then Guru Maharaj got up and attend the meeting for 15 mins and said, "I will go down and attend the meeting." Then Guru Maharaj went to Lotus Conference hall.

Then after the meeting Guru Maharaj went to take Deity darshan and it was wonderful. From Lord Narasimha dev; pujaris gave a mango to Guru Maharaj. Since he was in his diet. Guru Maharaj asked Ayurvedic Doctor Mr. Ramesh Babu, "It is Maha Prasadam, is it okay to take little! Little! Little!" But we were very strict. And after deity darshan. He came back to his residence.

And then Maha Varaha Pr and myself were discussing about this Ayurvedic doctor. With in this four days, this doctor has changed a lot. He is chanting now. And Guru Maharaj blessed the beads and gave him to chant. Then the doctor asked for neck beads. He is almost 50 years old. But, he is serving Guru Maharaj as if one of the servants. He help Guru Maharaj in temple to cross the crowd, he give water, he was Guru maharaj cups. Like this many services. Then Maha Varaha said to Guru Maharaj,  "whoever we bring, you make them as devotee. Here after we should not bring any physicians to Mayapur or for your service." Hearing this Guru Maharaj was laughing.

And then Maha Varaha Pr said, "Guru Maharaj you suppose to take rest in this recovery period. But you are attending meetings continuously. It is not good for your health." Guru Maharaj said, "attending meeting will give more inspiration to attend more.meetings; what to do?" Then I said, "it is 40 years disease... We can't change it." Then Guru Maharaj was laughing... and again today also Guru maharaj started Bulbul topic and so much laughter...  then went to bed at 10pm. We are all very happy that he went early bed.

It was wonderful day. Till evening, I spent time with Guru Maharaj to facilitate him. And it is very much enlivening to be in his association. -(Shyama Rasika Dasa - Personal Diary)

Today morning I went to see Guru Maharaj, he was taking shower. I went to assist him with morning shift devotees. And Gur Maharaj asked, about the answers; I read few answers, and he said, "Today i suppose to give the next question. Is it?" I said, "Yes!" He dictated and I did the recording. Then he said, "Many are googling to find answers. So I am giving the question; even they find difficult to search in Google.   And I heard that Guru Maharaj will be going for meeting and in the afternoon session he will attend via video conferencing. Then i went archives.

Again i was back to see Guru Maharaj during my lunch time.  Guru Maharaj was taking lunch "Kanji". After his lunch, Guru Maharaj was going to bathroom. The servants were taking prasadam outside. When they saw, Guru Maharaj coming out, Immediately everyone ran here and there. They don't want Guru Maharaj to see what they are eating. As Guru Maharaj is just taking "Kanji" and we are all eating normal prasadam.

Today Guru Maharaj's BP and Sugar everything is normal. If it continue as like this. Then doctors may reduce BP medicine quantity.  So we all feel; it is great improvement. And Ekanath Gaura Pr said, "Guru Maharaj! If you continue this diet, then you can come out of these allopathic medicines." Guru Maharaj said, "I feel it is better I take medicine and not this diet." Yes! It is great austerity to take three times only "Kanji and green mung dhaal".

Guru Maharaj was joking with every servant; saying "do you know, "bulbul"? Panchajanya Keshava Pr was saying I don't know Guru Maharaj; then Go Maharaj said, "by drinking this you will get 10,000 elephants strength. And it is in Lower planets." Like this Guru Maharaj was joking. But there is a story behind it. I can't disclose that... As I am writing this here;  so that I will remember in future.

In the afternoon I tried to arrange video conferencing.  And in the meeting there were Bhakti Caru Swami Maharaj, Ramai Swami Maharaj, Bhakti Purusottama Swami, And many other were present. Meeting started and for first 20mins Guru Maharaj had uninterrupted meeting.  But somehow, one micro phone was not connected. And most of the time members were Not talking on mic. So Guru Maharaj got difficulty to follow up. And it is very important subject. Guru Maharaj said,  "let me go directly to the meeting." I said, "you suppose to take rest, you should not put yourself extending like this." But Guru Maharaj in his heavy voice said, "It is very, very important. I have to be there." Then I said again, "are you not feeling tired? How long the meeting will go? Are you going to be present in the whole meeting?" Guru Maharaj said, "the meeting will go till 6:30pm; but I can't be there for whole meeting, after his first session; I will come back." Then we took him to conference hall. And I left him.

I came back at 8pm. He was resting. And I heard that, Guru Maharaj attended the whole meeting and then he went to temple and resting now. I entered his room; he was doing bed exercise. He asked me, "what time is it?" 8pm. He said, "let me chant my Gayathri and take my dinner Kanji". Then again started Bulbul... but we don't know what is that? But Guru Maharaj said, what is that? But I can't disclose it here. As it is my personal diary. I am keeping all these wonderful pastimes for me to remember in future. It is related in different way with Srimad Bhagavatam.

Then after dinner; Guru Maharaj met Dr. Raj Kumar and he was telling how Guru Maharaj can do basic therapy.

And Guru Maharaj offered a bead and bead bag to Ayurvedic doctor. Who showed interested to chant Hare Krishna Maha Mantra.  It is a great blessing for him to start his chanting here in Mayapur and blessed by Guru Maharaj.

As today's climate was very wonderful. And it is rainy. Mayapur looks more and more beautiful.  We were discussing about Guru Maharaj's old pastimes with Doctors. And they were so amazed; hearing one by one. And they are just not able believe that; this person did those things... then I thought; many disciples who are aspiring now, or who took initiation now after Guru Maharaj's stroke. Some may got to know his past activities. So I thought from archive we should make some presentation or documentary on Guru Maharaj's past achievements in Srila Prabhupada's service. I hope it will happen soon. So it will inspire and give more, and more increase faith of disciples... It is my speculation. All these are external.  But it is needed for some...

Today morning I went to see Guru Maharaj and he was in shower. And I went to arrange video conferencing from lotus conference hall to lotus roof for Guru Maharaj with Mayapur.Tv crew. We faced some problem with audio. And finally after two hours we figured it out and then it started working. And Guru Maharaj also was lying on his bed and extended himself and did the testing with his voice. Everything was ready; meeting going to start at 11am. Guru maharaj said, "I will go to meeting now." Then Guru Maharaj went to meeting and took darshan of deities. And then Guru Maharaj said, "I will use this setup for the afternoon session."

Then in the afternoon; Guru Maharaj was taking his Kanji diet 'boiled rice'. And then I heard told by Maha Varaha Pr that one Bhakti Vriksha devotee from East London going to come to Mayapur now. And I have to take care of him. He is physiotherapist. He is visiting Mayapur for two days. His name is Dr. Raj Kumar and he is also Tamil speaking. So he is new to ISKCON. First time to Mayapur.

So I gave him prasadam; and he was eating outside Guru Maharaj room. And Guru Maharaj after his lunch,  he came out and directly went towards him. And this devotee Dr got nervous.  And he got up and paid his obeisances.  Then Guru Maharaj said, "Prasadam is Krishna! You should not get up! Please take prasadam." Then Guru Maharaj said to me, "You should get Maha Prasadam and give him," I said, "Guru Maharaj we have given now the Maha Prasadam of Srila Prabhupada." Then, Guru Maharaj said, "I take care of your spiritual routine... you take care of my physical routine." Then Guru Maharaj went inside bathroom; then Deva Gauranga Pr came out and said, "Guru Maharaj asked to serve sweet to him." I said, "already served." Then he went and said to Guru Maharaj. Again he sent him back and have came back and gave one more sweet and said, "Guru Maharaj want to give you this sweet."

I am really moved with this care. Even in this condition; he is unconditionally caring for devotees. Simply wonderful...

Then i went to see Guru Maharaj; and the discussion was about this Kanji diet. We said, "you are feeling Hunger because this diet; implemented suddenly. That's why you are not getting immediate sleep." Guru Maharaj said, "Yes!" Then we said, "another two days; after that your body will be used to that;  as per the doctors. Then your digestion will be normal."  After that Guru Maharaj went to bed. He asked me to find out the afternoon session meeting; I rushed to 1st floor. They said, "meeting got cancelled." I came up, Guru Maharaj was sleeping. So we let him to sleep.

Maha Varaha Pr and also Guru Maharaj asked me to take care Dr. Raj Kumar; since he is new to Mayapur. So, I took his for Darshan, Gosala,  and samadhi and Srila Prabhupada room in Lotus building. Then when I return back. Guru maharaj was having a meeting with Madhava Narasimha pr and Madhava Latha mathaji. And he took dinner "same kanji" and meeting continued along with that. Then somehow,  today it got delayed and Guru Maharaj went to bed at 10:45pm. And Jaya Radha Krishna Pr started to read sastra.

From tommorrow Mayapur GBCCom meeting going to start. Next 7 days Guru Maharaj will be busy with meetings. Meeting Mela Starting... As Guru Maharaj is tired; he is not speaking much. He preserve his energy as per . doctor advice.  So he show the action with his hand movement. So we try to figure it out; what he is saying... and it is really a test for servants, I feel; it will show, How much we have understood him, so far.

Today morning I just paid my obeisances to Guru Maharaj and left to Archives. In the afternoon;  I return back to Lotus roof; as they called me to make the video conferencing setup. But, the meeting going to be tomorrow morning. Maha Varaha Pr was reading mails and Guru Maharaj was dictating replies. Maha Varaha Pr said, "Guru Maharaj answered for 5 long mails" Then Guru Maharaj went to bathroom; so I was assisting afternoon shift devotees. Then Guru Maharaj asked me to read the answers for Question number #15. Then I read all the answers; some where wrong speculations. So Guru Maharaj was laughing so much. Then Guru Maharaj went to bed for his afternoon nap. Guru Maharaj was playing with Bengali Brahmacari servants; saying some word, "Banglastami" they were thinking what is that? Then they started to speculate and speculate; then Guru Maharaj said,  "there no such word." Like this he was playing like a small kid. He is energetic; and healthy today.

Gauranga Simha pr came and he was discussing with Guru Maharaj regarding the meetings and updates. Then Guru Maharaj took rest. Then I went back to archive to continue my service.

At 6:30pm Deva Gauranga Pr called me and said, "Guru Maharaj is now in Chaitanya exhibition,  chanting his Gayathri;  come fast with camera to take pictures. Then I rushed to temple. And took the camera also. After his Gayathri. Guru. Maharaj went to take darshan of deities. And devotees and public were just trying to get his darshan and blessings. So, there was lot of work for the security to make way for Guru Maharaj and pushing people from Guru Maharaj's path. Then after darshan Guru Maharaj came back to his quarters and took his dinner. I was feeding his dinner. It is just boiled rice and boiled dhaal. Guru Maharaj was just taking it as he was hngry. He took 40gms in the morning and night now 40gms. Then after dinner he went to bed at 9pm. It was an amazing factor for all the servants as Guru Maharaj is on bed at 9pm. But, he started to hear Bhagavatam; and Jaya Radha Krishna Pr reading and reading...

Then Guru Maharaj was asking about Caitanya Book.  And I explained how we are going to work it out; the basic plan. As per his desire. And Guru Maharaj continuEd to listen Srimad Bhagavatam. At 12 am midnight Sri Caitanya Srivas pr came to our room and said, "Guru Maharaj asking something." Then we rushed to Guru Maharaj room. He just finished hearing Bhagavatam. Guru Maharaj was awake and he completed the 5th canto it seems. Mostly; he must have read 6 chapters continuously.  Then myself, Janakiram pr, went to assist Guru Maharaj. And Maha Varaha Pr also came to see Guru Maharaj and checked the fever; etc. Every thing is normal. Then we said, "Good Night" to Guru Maharaj and back to our room.

This new Ayurvedic treatment is working... He is getting better. But the doctors said, this diet will be there for another 10 days minimum to make his internal digestion system back to normal. So, it is a austerity time. Guru Maharaj is transcendental.  But we are feeling too bad; to give him this boil rice and dhaal. But we see, thus recovery period is very very important.

Today morning I came to take Guru Maharaj darshan and he was on his bed. And he saw me and called me near and asked, "Today I suppose to give a question for the contest?" I said, "yes! But last question many didn't answer as I feel devotees find it difficult to search that exact lila." Guru Maharaj said, "So I will give easy one." Then he dictated that super easy question and I recorded it. Then I took his permission and went to Archives.  But again Ekanath Gaura Pr called me and asked me to arrange for the video conferencing setup from Guru Maharaj room to Lotus Conference room in the first floor. So I called Mayapur.tv for help in doing the complete setup. And Nrsimha pr and his team came with in 30mins to Guru Maharaj's room with all the cables and everything. We started to make the setup. And Gauranga Simha Pr came and he was meeting Guru Maharaj. And he said,  "Guru Maharaj we will see you in the big screen on meeting..." Guru Maharaj showed his thumbs up.

And then Guru Maharaj wanted to go to pool for his exercise. But he was extremely tired. And Maha Varaha pr requested Guru Maharaj to cancel today's exercise as he is tired.  But Guru Maharaj didn't agree. Then he started to explain to Guru Maharaj word by word, "We will go to pool and do exercise; is it okay!" Guru Maharaj said, "okay" Then Maha Varaha pr said, "But when you get back to your normal health!" Guru Maharaj nodded "Yes!" Then everyone laughed. Then Guru Maharaj said, "No! No!" Then we all said "yes! Yes! Yes!" And we put him on bed to take rest.

In the evening at 7pm. Again I came to see Guru Maharaj. He was getting ready, myself and Deva Gauranga Pr putting tilak on Guru Maharaj's body. And he got ready. But it was 7:50pm. So I said, darshan will be closed in another 10 mins. So we go at 8:15 and take darshan till 8:30pm. Guru maharaj said, we will go now. Then we went and Guru Maharaj took nice Darshan and they kept the altars open as long as Guru Maharaj was taking Darshan. It was wonderful. Pujaris offered garland from Narasimhadev,  and a garland from Nityananda pr's Utsava murti and finally from the hand of Srimati Radha rani.  And while coming back; in front of elevator. Guru Maharaj gave blessing to some devotees from Andra Pradesh.  And the devotees introduced one family to Guru Maharaj for blessings. That family has donated 42 acres of land to ISKCON and they want to be a aspiring disciples of our beloved Guru Maharaj.  And as Guru Maharaj was tired and we asked them to come tomorrow and meet him. But Guru Maharaj want to meet them today. But I said, "Guru Maharaj they will come tomorrow. And they went to prasadam. Then Guru Maharaj said, "okay".

He took his dinner, and I got the opportunity to serve him and Panchajaya Keshava prabhu was wonderfully preparing the prasadam for Guru Maharaj and Prasanga Gauranga Pr was cooking with so much devotion for the pleasure of Guru Maharaj. And Guru Maharaj liked it.

Now Guru Maharaj chanting his Gayathri. And after this he wil go to take his rest. He is super tired now. He is better than. Yesterday.  And tonight Doctor from Kottayam will reach and tomorrow onwards the treatment will start. Jai Narasimha dev!

Today morning came to see Guru Maharaj at 11:15 am.  He just returned from his shower. And I went to Archives after paying my obeisances unto him.

Then I came back to see Guru Maharaj during his lunch at 2:30pm. He told, "we were all searching for you; where were you? We tried to call you!" I was blank. I asked, "Why Guru Maharaj?" He was tired and taking his lunch and replying emails. So I didn't disturb him. Immediately after lunch; he went to restroom. And I was assisting him with afternoon shift devotees. Then Guru Maharaj asked for the answers. Then I started to read out the answers; even though he was tired; he enjoyed the answers that were sent my different devotees and different answers... He was laughing. Then after that he came back to bed and he was replying word by word; that reply was very much heart touching. Then I asked Madhava Kanta Pr,  as he is in the morning shift; "Why Guru Maharaj was calling me?" He said, "Today noon time Guru Maharaj went for darshan and during arati. And after that he went around the campus and he was in the car, calling one by one boundary wall shop keepers and asked them, what they are selling, who is the owner of shop, etc. So that time we were all trying to call you for taking pictures. But Subhal Sudhama pr taken fee pictures with his mobile." So I missed...

Then in the evening Guru Maharaj woke up from his nap at 6:30pm.  But still he was tired. And he said, he want to do some.exercise and com chanting in New Step machine.  And we took him to darshan room. But he was extremely tired. And somehow, we made him to sit on that machine. But he was leaning to his right and Ashraya Govinda Pr one side sitting and wiping the salaiva dropping from.his mouth and one side Janakiram pr was holding Guru Maharaj feet and I was holding him from back. And Maha Varaha Pr was telling Guru Maharaj to correct his posture and requesting him to take rest. And Guru Maharaj was determined to chant. So he did 2.5 rounds and we forced him to stop seeing his BODILY uncomfortable condition. He suppose to address Birmingham devotees over Skype; but it was cancelled due to his tiredness.

I said, after dinner. Please go to bed. He said, "Yes! I am too tired and I want to just go to bed. Nothing else." Then Guru Maharaj did his evening Gayathri and took his dinner. He was too tired. Extremely... Tomorrow the doctor is going to come to Mayapur to start the treatment. And Ekaleshwar pr said, "Some one should give company with GURU Maharaj in his new diet. So that Guru Maharaj will be encouraged to do it." Then Guru Maharaj said, "Morning take one drum and announce it." Like this he was joking with us. Then he went to bed. And Jaya Radha Krishna Pr started to read Srimad Bhagavatam 5th Canto. And it is 10:00pm. It is early.

But still he is hearing Srimad Bhagavatam. Who can stop him. He is transcendental... Always in the mood of distributing the mercy.  Myself and JanakiRam pr s ill we tried our best to convince Guru Maharaj to take treatment in Coimbatore or wherever the full setup is there. We are all praying to almighty Lord. But, it is due to purely tiredness. And morning. Lot of exercises done by Guru Maharaj. During this recovering period, he should not do exercise like this without energy.  Which will.make him more sick. This is my opinion. But Guru Maharaj...

Today morning when I got up; I was writing my diary. And Maha Varaha pr came and said, doctor arrived and he met Guru Maharaj and he is going to first correct Guru Maharaj's diet. Then I went to see Guru Maharaj and he was ready to take his breakfast and I got a opportunity to serve him breakfast.  And Madhava Kanta Pr was choosing names for kids from Guru Maharaj. There were lot of discussions over the names. And it was wonderful. Then, Guru Maharaj banged the table and said, "We shall do it!" "We shall do it" some rhythmic rhymes he started to sing.... Meanwhile doctor also served with prasadam for his breakfast. Ekanath Gaura Pr came to say something to Guru Maharaj, he saw my belly, then he told Guru Maharaj! See Shyam's belly! Then Guru Maharaj said, "He should take Ayurvedic medicines first..." And i said, "I can't take that bitter medicines not even a drop!" Guru Maharaj started to laugh.

Then Dharesh Pr came with Juice for Guru Maharaj and he added little cranberry juice in it. And I said, "just by taking one drop of this juice, my hairs stand on end Guru Maharaj! How you are taking this much!!!" Then Ruci-rangata pr said, "Just by seeing that bottle itself my hairs stands on end!" Guru maharaj started to laugh. Actually it is amazing, Guru Maharaj never show any reaction for bitter juice, or any other taste... but just to give him that juice, we feel too hard.

Then after that Guru Maharaj started to do his exercise. Then I left to Archives.  In the afternoon again I joined him. He was having a meeting with  Doctor. I was not into that meeting. Janakiram pr have given an update on that in whatsapp. And he was answering E-mail while eating. He answered five emails. And then Jps Office Manager, Ravi Gopal Pr was getting Guru Maharaj's signatures and some official discussions. Then Guru Maharaj went to bed and I went to Archives.

And I came back at 8:40pm.  I heard that Guru Maharaj took darshan and return back. He was tired. And I was assisting night shift devotees to go to bed at 10:30pm. Jaya Radha Krishna Prabhu started to read Srimad Bhagavatam. And now I am going to back our room.

Compare to yesterday, today Guru Maharaj is better. Fresh, healthy. Still the treatment it not started. Doctor said, after three or four day, the treatment or diet treatment will start...

(24/JUL/2014) - Sri Mayapur, India

Today as usual afternoon 1:30pm reached Guru Maharaj room and took his darshan. Actually,  last night Guru Maharaj was too tired and I was very much upset with him, and argued with him for his condition;  and I felt so bad to see him too tired. So I thought, I won't come to see him. And he gave question number 14 while going for darshan; he dictated half. Second part of that question I didn't ask. And I was upset. And I didn't go to see him today morning even. But I felt so bad. "What am I doing? What is the use of argument; and being away from him. I should not! What a foolishness. I should do more service to him and assist him to get out of this condition." And I was not able to work in archives; thinking of this. Then when I reached; I didn't enter into his room.

After lunch,  he went to bathroom. So I went to assist. That time also he didn't speak with me. I also didn't speak anything. I asked him; how are you? He said, "better". But he was tired. After his morning exercise in pool; and he took deitie darshan. I just asked forgiveness in my mind.

Then, he said, "You don't want mercy?" I said, "Guru Maharaj!!!" He said, "yo didn't complete the question last night." Then I said, "yes! It is a mistake." Then we put him on bed for his afternoon nap.

And I just waited in his room. Taking care of him. He went to bed at 3:30pm and we woke him up by 7:30pm. He was terribly tried after the pool exercise. And we try to wake him by at 6:00pm. But he was in deep sleep. Then we left him to sleep.

He got up and Maha Varaha Pr, and many servants were around his bed. Then Guru Maharaj thought it is morning 7:30am. Then we said no Guru Maharaj it is evening. Then Maha Varaha pr also said, it happens to me also, sometime.

Maha Varaha Pr informed about the latest air plane crash in Africa. And he said, "Malaysia airlines got crashed, Taiwan one air plane crash, and now in Africa and people are dying. I think, because you are not flying; it is all happening..." Guru Maharaj was shaking his hand high and said, "yes! We should start our travel.." Everyone started laughing...

Then Isvaku Prabhu was discussing about Congreagstion preaching,  and some doubt on Namahatta... Then after that, Guru Maharaj had a meeting with Sridham pr and Ekanath Gaura Pr on TOVP exhibits. Then Guru Maharaj took his dinner and again went to toilet. I was with him.

I asked him, "please forgive me for all the offenses. As I was not able to see you looking so tired; I started to speak in immature way." Then immediately Guru Maharaj sat straight and lifted his head upward. And looked at me. I asked, "Can I record the second half of the question?" He said, "yes!" He gave the question... and at the end he asked, "what do you think about this question?" I said, "You know the trick to make people mad..." Then he started to laugh.

And then, he stared to talk to me as usual. And I asked him, repeatedly forgiveness. I thought inside my mind even out of love, I should not make offense to thus personality. He is my Guru...

Then he came back to his room and chanted his Gayathri.  And went to bed at 10:40pm. And was hearing Srimad Bhagavatam,  Jaya Radha Krishna Pr was reading to Guru Maharaj from 5th canto. And it was about different rivers. Guru Maharaj was asking lot of definitions and he was searching and telling to Guru Maharaj. Then I left Guru Maharaj room paying me obeisances. Always want to be near him.

(23/JUL/2014) - Sri Mayapur, India

Today, reached Guru Maharaj during his lunch and was assisting to make projection to make some presentation during his lunch. After lunch Guru Maharaj went to rest.

I went to temple for darshan. That time one Brahmacari met me. He said, "We pujaris are doing everyday two times puja to Lord Narasimhadev, Sri Sri Radha Madhava and Sri Sri Pancha Tattva for Guru Maharaj.  We are offering 108 Tulasi leaf offering, Malawi flower offering, lotus flower offering for Guru Maharaj's health. Please inform this Guru Maharaj. We are all praying for him." So asked his name. His name is Arjuneswara Govinda das.

Then I came to see Guru Maharaj; and he woke up at 5:45pm.  And soon after 6:05pm there was a unofficial, personal, friendly meeting with Shadbhuja pr from TOVP. And he was telling Guru Maharaj about his updates on TOVP.

Maha Varaha Pr asked Guru Maharaj, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling getting better day by day, or weaker?" After sometime, Guru Maharaj answered, "I feel weak, may be if I go to pool and do some exercises then I can regain my strength." Then Maha Varaha pr said, "From tomorrow.we will make arrangements for that..."

Then Guru Maharaj went to temple for darshan.  He was too tired. But even, the devotees were pushing and rushing to touch him, to take darshan of him, to get blessings from him. It is too much messy. We were not able to clear them. And security came and they were not able to.clear. The temple hall was filled with pilgrims and devotees. It is during santhya arati. So everyone's view was on Guru Maharaj. And Guru Maharaj met, TOVP fundraiser in front of Sri Sri Radha Madhava, then they were saying about their results and their plans about going to different places to raise fund to raise the temple. Then They introduced one devotee from Krishna Katha Desh, who had collected 57 golden bricks for TOVP.

Guru Maharaj was happy. And they said, "HE ID YOUR DISCIPLE." At that moment Guru Maharaj raised his head and just pulled him and hugged him for few moments.  He was so happy... This hug must have given him go much of boost and greatest reward for his service from his Guru.

Then after darshan Guru Maharaj came upstairs and took his dinner. And was speaking with Sarva Jaya pr and his family as they are leaving tomorrow morning and all the way they have come from USA. Guru Maharaj was happy with them. I don't remember the whole conversation. But Guru Maharaj was giving advise how the business is a karma of a grihasta. Guru Maharaj said, "you have a family, you have a girl, you have to great responsibility.  You have to give her marriage. You have to two sons...." Then he said, "according to Srila Prabhupada's karma he supposed to be millionaire. But his business was not so good. He chose preaching...." somehow, Guru Maharaj didn't conclude this statement.  And I thought in my mind. "Yes! Srila Prabhupada was millionaire after preaching..."

Then Guru Maharaj asked his daughter "are checking my Facebook updates?" She said, "yes!" "You are not sending answers for the questions?" Like this Guru Maharaj was speaking for 15 mins with their family.

And then Guru Maharaj went to bathroom and back to bed at 11pm.

Actually, from day after tomorrow doctors from Kottaikal, Kerala Ayurvedic treatment will be here in Mayapur to give Guru Maharaj treatment. So we are expecting he will be back out of these toxins of antibiotic and other medicines.

Every day,  expecting some.miracles from the Lord. And make Guru Maharaj to walk and be active like before. As Guru Maharaj said, "If Krishna willing." Now Guru Maharaj is taking good rest and taking nice prasadam. And relaxing. Another two days we have to wait for the doctors team. His extensive world tour travel made his body too tired. Immediately Kolkata Ratha-yatra and Travel to Mayapur made him sick. Only thing is we have to chant more rounds and pray to the Lord.

Today till afternoon I was resting as I felt weakness due to my stomachache. Then at 1 pm I got a call from Dharesh Pr,  "Guru Maharaj calling you." So I rushed; he was taking his lunch. I just assisted him in feeding last lunch.  And then I told him about the meeting right after his lunch. Sri Krishna Caitanya Book project meeting. And Vidvan Gauranga Pr reached Guru Maharaj's roof at 3pm. Somehow, due to some reason,  meeting started at 3:40pm and it went for 25 mins. Very wonderful meeting. Guru Maharaj was speaking out about this project and how he did, and Vidvan Gauranga Pr explained how we will proceed. And every day Guru Maharaj have to give two hours, everyday, for next one month. So, it was very inspiring to see our Guru Maharaj in this pandit - mode.  So much knowledge on Lord Caitanya Lila. Vidvan Gauranga Pr made a statement, "this books is not for your disciple, we can say this book is for you God-brothers, who are waiting for decades. More than that this book is for the whole Gaudiya Sampradaya; or this book is for the whole world; and all our Vaishnava community is waiting for it. So it is going to be the master piece." I HAVE Recorded THE Whole conversation. And Vidvan Gauranga Pr's presentation.

Then Guru Maharaj went to bed for his afternoon nap. Then evening he got up and went to temple to take darshan of Their Lordship. Immediately he returned back and took his dinner. And he gave a 40mins online class to Russian Bhakti Vriksha festival. It was amazing.  More than 600 devotees were present in that class. Wonderful class and fee questions he answered. Then he went to bed at late night.

The day ended like that; he was too tried and weak. Still he need more rest. Praying to the almighty Lord to give him good health; and fastest recovery.

(21/JUL/2014) - Sri Mayapur, India

As like yesterday today also, I spent my time with Vidvan Gauranga Pr and Archives. And return back to see Guru Maharaj at 5 pm.  Guru Maharaj was taking his afternoon rest. Then he woke up at 6:30pm. I went to saw him, he asked me, "Why you didn't come to see me whole day?" And i explained him what I was doing. Then he asked me to read the answers for 13th question. And I was reading one by one. Then he started to speak to Jaya Radha Krishna Prabhu regarding finding quotes on Srila Prabhupada and on our movement,  that was very deep; Guru Maharaj said, "I am the only one searching for that...may be some. But so far nothing we found." "Once in South India; One person came and asked me, how do you know that 10,000 years is golden age. Then we don't know, what is the answer, and he himself said, in Brahma Vaivarta purana, 125th section it is mentioned by Lord Krishna to the rivers headed by Ganga." So Guru Maharaj said, "We didn't know this before; and we didn't research;  someone came and told us. Lord Chaitanya is chana avatar; now it is a time to reveal His glories. We have to do it." So he spoke for almost 20 mins.

Then he met Sankarshan Nitai Pr and was discussing about, Malda,  Ramkeli and Ekachakra temple construction and deity installation. After that meeting Guru Maharaj gave darshan to Gauranga Desh devotees. Around 25 devotees were there. Guru maharaj spoke for 5 mins about Sri Mayapur and it's glories. After that the group leaders introduced each family. And Guru Maharaj was blessed them. As Guru Maharaj is sick. He didn't touch anyone or give prasadam from his hand. Guru Maharaj said, put the table between him and devotees. So that they will be three feet away from him. It is not that Guru Maharaj get some infection from devotees.  He don't want any devotee to take his infection and suffer.  Who can think like this?

Then Guru Maharaj took his dinner. After dinner he went to toilet. And came back and chanted his Gayathri. Then went to bed at 12 am. 

While Guru Maharaj taking his dinner, I was speaking with Deva Gauranga Pr. And he was sharing with me, what happened during this afternoon. He said, Guru Maharaj was asking for Jewel,  so Deva Gauranga Pr didn't understand, he asked Guru Maharaj what is that Guru Maharaj?  "I want that Ciyamantaka Jewel, I want to produce gold and use it TOVP."

And before Guru Maharaj went to bed, he was making action with his left hand as like he is shooting with gun. Then Guru Maharaj said it seems, "I want to practice gun shooting with left arm." Then Deva Gauranga Pr remembered old days of Guru Maharaj in Mayapur,  he said, "Guru Maharaj practice gun shooting, arrow shooting, and stick fight." And while speaking, His eyes slightly watered. And said, "Guru Maharaj! Was like that, now to see him in this condition my heart it breaking. Now he is sitting like Jagannath Das Baba ji Maharaj; it should happen after 30 years; not now."

Like this, everyone was speaking the glories of Guru Maharaj and their love for Guru Maharaj has no end.

At 12 am Guru Maharaj was asking about Sri Krishna Caitanya Book project progress.  And I was explaining him, what Vidvan Gauranga Prabhu is upto. And from Thursday we start one hour everyday with Guru Maharaj on this project. Very exciting and waiting for it.

(20/JUL/2014) - Sri Mayapur, India

Today from morning I was busy with Sri Krishna Caitanya Book project; assisting Vidvan Gauranga Prabhu in getting some Bengali books from Gaudiya Maths and arranging prasadam for him, Internet, etc. As this project is very, very important project for our whole ISKCON and Gaudiya sampradaya. Our beloved Guru Maharaj trying to do it from 1980's. And somehow,  I want to be in this project in a menial way; taking part in some way to complete this book. We are trying to make a preliminary basic Skelton; using that Guru Maharaj will give summarised commentary.  As this book going to be as like Our Krishna book that Srila Prabhupada did. This will be on Lord Caitanya; compiling from 7 authorised sastra. Our beloved Guru Maharaj want to complete this book as soon as possible. According to his direction Vidvan Gauranga Prabhu working on this project.

And by 1:00pm I reached back to Lotus Building to take Guru Maharaj darshan. And he was chanting his Gayathri.  Then after that he went to bathroom and he was extremely tired. But he dictated the question number 13 for Sri Krishna Caitanya Mercy Contest. And he said, "This is very simple question, but itnis just to make them to remember the Pastimes of Lord Caitanya." And i just recorded the question. We were thinking how it is possible to feed Lunch to him. Then Deva Gauranga Pr said, "Guru maharaj,  I will feed you directly, you please don't use your spoon." Guru Maharaj agreed. Then he went to bed for his afternoon nap.

Then I sent that audio to Rasa Priya Gopika devi dasi for Transcription and later I went to upload the question. And return back to Guru Maharaj's residence at 7:30pm. Guru Maharaj was getting ready to go for darshan. I just rushed to our Servant room to bring camera. And I went ahead to ground floor. There Ruci-rangata pr and few devotees were there, and we all waited for Guru Maharaj to decent. Meanwhile, Ashraya Govinda Pr, he was sharing his experiences and pastimes with Guru Maharaj in 2008 Bangladesh Safari. How he got slap from Guru Maharaj for pushing the devotees from Guru Maharaj's path. He said, "when Guru Maharaj slapped me, I was so happy and devotees were saying Hari Bol!  Hari Bol!" Special mercy, like this everyone started to share the lila of getting sauce from Guru Maharaj.  Guru Maharaj took more time; and we were waiting down. Then @ 7:50pm. Guru Maharaj came down and he went to take darshan of Deities before darshan get closed. And he took darshan of all the deities and showed arati. And Sri Sri Radha Madhava darshan was extended for five more mins for Guru Maharaj.

When he entered back to Caitanya Exhibition to get into lift. He met one devotee family from Middle east; who are very much enthused and they offered Guru maharaj dry fruits and nuts and Guru Maharaj blessed them and accepted those offerings for deities. Then Guru Maharaj met Sarva Jaya Madhava Pr and his twin sons. Who got initiation recently in Atlanta. Guru Maharaj asked their names; "What name did I gave you?" He said, "Anadi Nimai Das" "Adi Nitai Das"... "Guru Maharaj said, "Adi Nitai Das, Anadi Nimai Das."

Then Guru Maharaj started his dinner. And then he did his Gayathri and went to bed at 10:30pm.

We are happy that Guru Maharaj is not attending any program or meeting. He is giving time for himself and resting.  And he is getting better gradually. As it is very,  very necessary now... We hope that soon; Guru Maharaj will back with complete energy; another few days.

(19/JUL/2014) - Sri Mayapur, India

As like yesterday today also I didn't had a good fortune to spend my time with Guru Maharaj personally. As I am trying to do some service in Sri Krishna Caitanya Book project. I went to do some arrangement for that. And after that I went to Archives to complete few works and came back to Lotus roof at 1:30pm. Guru Maharaj was having his lunch. Then I took his darshan and I was there with him till 4pm. I help him to go to bed to take rest after his lunch.

Then again, I went back to Archives and return back to lotus roof at 8pm. Then I heard that Guru Maharaj gave darshan and a small talk to Mathuradesh devotees. But unfortunately, I didn't get that info regarding that program. Anyhow, Janakiram pr recorded the class. So I will hear his talk, and edit and upload it soon. Then I had a talk with Maha Varaha Pr, he said, "Guru Maharaj is too tired. He just spoke for ten mins, then his voice was not clear, and he need nice rest at least for another week. So we should not arrange any other class."

Then after Guru Maharaj's dinner. I just started to read the answers of Sri Krishna Caitanya Mercy Contest.  I read all the answers in its complete, and every single word. As Guru Maharaj wanted. And even though it is same answer; reading it for 30mins continuously. And Guru Maharaj was just listening, listening, listening with rapt attention.  He is too tired.

Yesterday day, he asked me, "should I sent thanking reply for all the participants?" I said, "now we are receiving many answers. It will be difficult send thanks to all, personally by your Holiness." Then he got convinced.

Who can be like him?

Then Guru Maharaj went to bed. I returned back to our Servant room. Many hankering to take his darshan for a second. Many didn't get a chance to see him for years. I don't know, what kind mercy that, he is showering on me. There is no measure for his mercy.

(18/JUL/2014) - Sri Mayapur, India

Today I didn't meet Guru Maharaj; as I have to go to archives service. So, I just paid my obeisances and left to Archives.  Then Dharesh Pr called me at 1:30pm and said, "Guru Maharaj calling you." Then I came to see Guru Maharaj. He was taking his lunch. While ending his lunch, he gave the 12th question for the contest. And the question itself was difficult to understand. But I recorded it. Then, Guru Maharaj went to bed. He was lying in semi sleeping pasture.  Then Guru Maharaj asked me to read Caitanya Caritamrita, I was reading... reading.... Guru Maharaj went to sleep. Then we put him to b proper sleep and I left to Archives. But while getting down from the lotus building, suddenly heavy rain started. So I returned back to servants room. And started to transcribe his question and posted on facebook.

In the evening I joined Guru Maharaj for darshan. Whenever I go with Guru Maharaj, I used to think, as Lord Caitanya Maha prabhu said, by standing near the Garuda the Lord may see me also. In that same way,  by standing next to Guru Maharaj, the Lord may, or at least in out of focus, I may be in His sight. It was.wonderful. When Guru Maharaj show arati, we servants just touch his body or even wheel chair, thinking that we also join him and offer it. His body spiritual as he is always thinking about Gauranga,  so his body always connected with Spiritual world.

He told yesterday to Paritosani Citra Mathaji, when she said that, "I am also worried about your health." Guru Maharaj said, "I may be seem to be physically suffering,  or uncomfortable.  But spiritually I am ecstatic..." 

Then Guru Maharaj had a meeting with Mayapur Management. Then we all celebrated Madhava Kanta prabhu's birthday. He made pasta for all the servants. And there was a big cake cutting with Guru Maharaj. Guru Maharaj gave him his garland. Then Guru Maharaj went inside his room. And started to chant his Gayathri.  Then I got time to read answers for the 12th question. He was enjoying. Then I left Guru Maharaj's room and came to our Servant; ending my day with very very little association, by His mercy.

(17/JUL/2014) - Sri Mayapur, India

Today morning I paid my obeisances to Guru Maharaj; from outside and I left to Archives. Then I got a call from Ruci-rangata pr to come soon; as Ekanath Gaura Pr want to communicate with Cinmaya Gauranga Pr and to AVP Doctor and request them to come to Mayapur. Then I went to see Guru Maharaj and helped him to go to bed. That Acintya Nitai Pr asked some question to Guru Maharaj about dhamvasis;  and Guru Maharaj answered for it. I have recorded that audio soon; I will share it with you. At the end Guru Maharaj asked me, what is your experiences with dhamvasis? I said, dhamvasis are so simple and great, like this the talk continued. And then he asked me to read 5th canto 16th Chapter; so I continued reading till go to sleep. Then I left to Archives. After one hour again Siromani Nitai Pr called me and said, "Guru Maharaj asked you to come." Then I came again to Guru Maharaj room. Guru Maharaj asked me to read the answers for his 11th question. Then I was reading one by one. He was so ecstatic to hear the same pastime several time. Then after his lunch he took rest. I also slept for almost 2:30 hrs.   When I got up it was 6:30pm. Then I rushed for the Servant meeting @ 7pm.

Then in between servants meeting; I felt may be there may be a need to go and see Guru Maharaj. I went to his room, Guru Maharaj was getting ready to go for darshan; it was already 8pm; so we took him to temple to take darshan. After that Guru Maharaj came upstairs to his roof; and he met few devotees.

Then he showed up in the servants meeting; all the servants were present there. Guru Maharaj said, "I thank all of you for tolerating me and serving me." Then like this he was telling, how he need to organise devotees darshan and preaching during his stay here in Mayapur. Then Guru Maharaj asked.for the symbol of Chand Kazi 's emblem in brass. So we said, we will get it. And he said, it is a authorization from Chand Kazi for sankirtan.

Then Guru Maharaj return back to his room; and I have nubulization to him. While taking nubulization he had a meeting with Paritosani Citra mathaji; as her mother had passer away. Guru Maharaj gave her nice philosophical advise. Then Guru Maharaj took his dinner. And then he using his vonage connection called USA to Sakshad Hari Prabhu and talked with him and another devotees for 18 mins; during that conversation Guru Maharaj said, "Srila Prabhupada a vision for Mayapur; we are trying to put it together now." He asked that devotee, "Why you are not sending answer to my contest?." Like this the conversation went very sweet.

After that I took leave from Guru Maharaj and back to our Servant room. We are all trying to serve Guru maharaj; and very, very mercifully accepting of our so called service. What can we say about his mercy!!!

(16/JUL/2014) - Sri Mayapur, India

Today I was too tired; I got up by 7:00am. And Narasimha Arati Kirtan  Sound from temple. Then I saw in a camera; Guru Maharaj was up and doing his Gayathri.  Immediately I rushed to bathroom to take bath. I was thinking, "he is super tired than us. And he is in this condition; got up. But I am like this!!!" Then immediately my mind said, "don't compare him with you, he is Super Man."

Then I got ready and got into his room. And paid my obeisances and touched my head on his Lotus feet. And got up; Guru Maharaj said, "Are you ready for the next question?" Then he immediately narrated the question; and I recorded it for publishing on facebook. Gu Maharaj said, "Next ten questions will be on FOOD." Deva Gauranga Pr was very curious about the question and he was telling some answers, then Guru Maharaj said, "You can only guess one answer." He immediately said, "Guru Maharaj I will tell you in the afternoon."

Then after his breakfast; I took his permission and left to do my works. Then in the afternoon, 1:30pm I got a call, "Guru Maharaj calling you!" Then I rushed; Guru Maharaj wanted me to connect some presentation on big screen. Four devotees asked names for their deities Gaura Nitai and it was pending for long time. So, I thought I will also complete those requests. But I didn't get time. After his lunch prasadam; he went to toilet. As his stomach is upset. Guru Maharaj went to bed too tired.

Then I again took his permission. And went to Archives to do my work @ 4pm. I return back to Guru Maharaj room, there Ekanath Pr called for a meeting on Guru Maharaj's health. So we were trying to convince Guru Maharaj to go to Coimbatore for month to take Ayurvedic treatment. Maha Varaha Pr,  Dr. Achyuta nanda pr, Ekanath Gaura Pr, Acintya Caitanya Pr,  Sankarshan Nitai Pr and Dr. Siromani Mathaji were all present there. So I also spoke on what the AVP doctors concern about treatment in Coimbatore and Mayapur.  But, till last min Guru Maharaj was saying, "I want to be here in Mayapur." Everyone started to looking at me for putting that quote of Srila Prabhupada, "REMAIN IN MAYAPUR." Then finally Gauranga Maharaj said, "I am convinced with all of your presentation about Ayurvedic Treatment, I am ready to take it. I am ready to go to Coimbatore." Everyone was happy!!! Guru Maharaj said, "But in 2015..." Then Guru Maharaj started to laugh.

Guru Maharaj said, tomorrow he will say what will be his idea about treatment. Then Guru Maharaj took his dinner. After dinner he asked, "anyone is there for darshan?" We said, "No! We didn't allow anyone, due to your health situation. From tomorrow we will allow." But t Guru Maharaj didn't listen,  he said, "I have to go out." When he went out, Mathur Nitai Das Brahmacari got one devotee from Bangladesh, her husband is the MP of that place, where they are from.  (I don't remember that place name) Guru Maharaj said, "Oh!  That place have lot of Mosquitos!" They said, "now it is all in control, 98% of mosquito is not there." Then they said, "in the town, we are offering 6 acres of land to ISKCON to make a temple.  Please accept it." Then she took aspiration from Guru Maharaj and her friends also took aspiration. Guru Maharaj said, "I have lot of disciples in that area."

And then, Guru Maharaj was too tired and went to bed at 10:30pm. Finally, the day end early tonight at 10:30pm.

Guru Maharaj's body is tired still due to medicines. So he need rest. He is not giving class, attending any programs, no exercise,  no management meetings etc. But still he is tired due to medicine and due to his long world tour. We pray to the almighty Lord to give our beloved Guru Maharaj all the strength to get back to his action pack travel and preaching... Or at least without any infection, good health.

(15/JUL/2014) - Kolkata, Sri Mayapur

Today I got up and I was working on my laptop for Tamil Sri Guru Prasanga Magazine. Suddenly Purandar pr came into the room and said, "Guru Maharaj planned to leave at 1:00pm to Mayapur; so every get ready to go." I thought, what happened suddenly Guru Maharaj had taken this decision. Anyhow, we were all happy; because Guru Maharaj is happy to go back to Mayapur. And I rushed to Guru Maharaj's flat with my luggage. And Guru Maharaj was resting and it was 11am. And I heard that Dr. Achyuta nanda pr agreed with Guru Maharaj to go to Mayapur and continue the treatment. Then Guru Maharaj also got appointment to meet Dr. Pavan Agarwal at 12:30pm. So Guru Maharaj just leaving the flat, that time Narahari pr from South Bangalore came to meet Guru Maharaj and take his blessings for his son, who is going to USA for his studies. And Guru Maharaj was asking where is he going to stay? Where is he going to stay? With whom is he going to stay? Etc. They were answering one by one.  And Guru Maharaj said, "Eventhough it is a place of Maya; so be careful." Then next Narahari pr introduced one girl and said, "she is a doctor and going to study her MD there in USA, same place where my son is going to be in Los Angeles. She is going to be my daughter - in - law in future." Then immediately Guru Maharaj said, "Then you no need worry about your sob in USA, she will take care of him from everything." Everyone laughed. Then I took their group family photo before Guru Maharaj leaving the apartment.

Then Guru Maharaj left the flat with Ekanath Gaura Pr, Dr. Achyuta nanda pr and morning shift devotees to Culcutta Medical Research Institute to meet Dr. Pavan Agarwal. Other servants headed by Maha Varaha Pr were packing the luggage and prasadam. We were loading all the luggages into van and the heavy rain started; but somehow we managed to load everything and we rushed to CMRI to catchup with Guru Maharaj and go to Mayapur.

Then Guru Maharaj's car came out from the hospital. Dharesh Pr said,  we got the permission to go to Mayapur. Then myself and Janakiram pr joined in our afternoon shift at 3pm. We started our journey. Guru Maharaj's car driver Sudhamay Harinam Pr said to Guru Maharaj in Bengali, "Guru Maharaj, I don't know this route, do you know how to go from here?" Guru Maharaj didn't even think for a second he said, "go straight and take right, and left, you will get into Howrah bridge 2. Then you can go and join in the highway." Then we went as per Guru Maharaj's direction. It was amazing, how much Guru Maharaj must have preached here.

Guru Maharaj was little uncomfortable with his seating posture. So on the way with big struggle Ruci-rangata pr, Golokeswara Pr,  Myself helped him to adjust his posture. Then Guru Maharaj started his lunch. Janakiram pr was preparing and giving me the prasadam and I was feeding him. It was wonderful to go with Guru Maharaj on a car drive; wher r we get full opportunity to feed him and do more service. After lunch, Guru Maharaj asked me to call Different devotees, Guru Maharaj mobile was connected to local car sound system. So he was able to hear and speak very well. We were calling one by one, presidents and Mayapur managers. Etc.

After a while Guru Maharaj said, "Call Maha Varaha!" But called him, Guru Maharaj said, "I have an issue!" He replied, "we have tissues." Guru Maharaj said, "my stomach is upset, so find a place!" So we were searching all the way around. But, Sudhamay Harinam Pr said, "Guru Maharaj after 20 km there is a petrol pump." So we were going towards petrol pump. Finally we got there, and saw it is a small old village petrol pump. As the local villagers said, this as big. Then Maha Varaha pr said, "Talk something and divert Guru Maharaj's thought on some some subject." Immediately I called Vidvan Gauranga Pr, who is helping in Guru Maharaj's Caitanya Book. So the conversation went on for 25 mins about very deep discussions on how to make this boom easily possible. Guru Maharaj totally forgotten his pressure.  Then Ekanath Gaura Pr said,  "it is long way to go to next petrol pump. So arrange facility for Guru Maharaj in the open field with the covering of cloth. But fortunately we stopped near by one potato go - down. There they had a toilet facility. Then we took him there. People they don't know who is he, but they were standing in line to get his blessings. Even few Muslims also were there with folded hands. It was amazing to see.

Finally we were in Gauranga Sethu bridge at 7:30pm. From there we can see our TOVP. Guru Maharaj folded his hands and paid his respects to mother Ganga. Guru Maharaj was dictating letters and answering emails. Due to continuous travel in the car and reading mails; I got headache; and I was not able to concentrate on Guru Maharaj what he is saying? Then I just started to focus just on his lips. And was trying to type whatever he say in mail. We entered Navadvipa, when the Chand Kazi Samadhi passed, Guru Maharaj paid his respects. And finally we reached Mayapur Chandrodaya mandir @ 8:30pm. And devotees were pushing and pulling to get blessing from Guru Maharaj.  Guru Maharaj just got down from the car, and stand on his height. All the devotees started to shout Hari Bol!  Guru Maharaj ki Jai! !! With the jaya-dwani Guru Maharaj went to his quarters.  

Then Guru Maharaj took his dinner at 10:00pm. And went to bed at 12:00am, while Jaya Radha Krishna Pr started to read the sastra starting from 5th canto 16th Chapter 20-21 verse. I am tired. I left Guru Maharaj room putting him to rest.

Who Can STOP Him? He is back to Mayapur. While coming his fever increased slightly. And it is raining. He didn't take any nubulization due to travel. We were all fearful about the infection. But by Lord Narasimha dev's mercy. Everything in HIS control and he is safe; we are all safe.
