- Kolkata, India
Today morning when I reached Guru
Maharaj's flat. He was taking rest as three to four time he got diaria; so he
was tried and he was resting. And outside his room there were around 50
devotees waiting for initiation interview. Last night he gave personal interview
for the devotees who are in kolkata and today morning he asked the outer sketch
of Kolkata devotees to come for interview. So I just went in and saw him
resting and I cane back to sevants room. Then I was working for Sri Guru
Prasanga Magazine for Tamil and Bengali.
I went to take my lunch again. Guru
Maharaj had already completed the interview and he was taking his lunch. After
lunch Guru Maharaj schedule to go to Swimming Pool for exercise; but when he
end his lunch itself 4:10pm. He also want to take rest. And there was a heavy
rain; so we discussed and cancelled the swimming pool program. So Guru Maharaj
will go directly to pandal program tonight and it was decided. Then I was there
with Guru Maharaj, he asked me about the contest. I said, "the 4th
question is tough so please give some clue." He said, "He is not an
Hindu." Then he gave me the 5th question for tomorrow; and it is really
going to hard for devotees. Let see. Then Guru Maharaj took rest from 5 to 6.
I was chanting my rounds outside his
room. That time one mathaji came and she said, she is from Sydney (Bengali
Mathaji) and she want to meet Guru Maharaj and give some donation. So I said he
will be ready by 7pm. So if you want to wait then you can wait and when he
leave to pandal. You can give donation and take blessings. She also waited; and
I asked her name, she said, "Manjari dasi".
Guru Maharaj woke up and I just
informed him that this mathaji is waiting for last one hour. And she is from
Sydney, her name is Manjari dasi. Then Guru Maharaj said, "go and ask her
is it possible for her to wait half an hour more" she said, "for
sure." Then Guru Maharaj took his shower and getting ready to go. It was
6:50 pm. Ruci-rangata prabhu was forcing Guru Maharaj to walk few steps and do
some exercises before he go to pandal. But, Guru Maharaj was reluctant to do.
Then Guru Maharaj gave different options. I will walk in pandal, we didn't
agree. He said, after program I will walk; we said, it never happened. Then he
said, "I will come back and do the exercise in the flat; we said,
"you will come back at 11 and no energy will be there. So we rejected all
Guru Maharaj's options. Finally Guru Maharaj said, " I want to go to
program." Then we got defeated. Then Ruci-rangata pr requested at least
you should walk from room to lift. Then he agreed. He said, "his left eye
is burning" I said, "one boil is there on your right eye."
Ruci-rangata pr said, "it may be because your eyes are dry, so I will put
eye drop to you." Then Guru Maharaj said, "if you take your ear's wax
on the eyes boil; it will disappear in 30mins." We asked, "who said
Guru Maharaj this treatment." Then, Guru Maharaj said, "GOOGLE
UVACA" we all laughed. And Guru Maharaj said, "But I didn't
Try." We were all laughing and laughing... saying, "GOOGLE
UVACA"
Then he said, "I will take my
dinner and then go to program. That time, I said, "Guru Maharaj in pandal
only two speakers are scheduled. And one is at 6 pm and another one is at
8:00pm. So you can't take your dinner now. We will feed you in the car. So that
we can reach on time. Guru Maharaj agreed. Before leaving he called that
mathaji! When he saw her, Immediately he said, "Oh is that you, when I
heard that Manjari from Sydney, I was thinking who is that? How are you?"
Then he asked few questions, "Is your husband still have Red hair? You
have two kids right? I think they must have grown up now? And how is your
health? Have you fully recovered from cancer?" She was just sayong yes!
Yes! Yes! Guru Maharaj said "There is a doctor in Argentina; You can take
some Naturopath treatment in Argentina... There is a flight from Sydney to
Argentina daily; aircraft name. All the details. Then he said, I am rushing to
pandal program. Then she said, She will also come to Pandal program. Who can
care for devotees like this, he is just showing; how Krishna must be merciful
and kind. Theaorically everyone accept; I accept practically by seeING him. And
we left to Pandal Program. We rushed.
While going in the car Guru Maharaj
started his dinner. And the car went super slow; so that Guru Maharaj can
finish his dinner before entering into the pandal. Because once the devotees
see Guru Maharaj's car they will just become mad, especially in Bengal. During
his dinner; he was speaking over phone with Ekanath Gaura Prabhu, who just got
engaged in Puri; with the blessings of Lord Jagannath and changed ring. So Guru
Maharaj was giving blessings to him and his wife.
We reached pandal at 7:55 pm. Bhakti
Caru Swami Maharaj was on mic, When Guru Maharaj was getting up to the stage;
Maharaj came down and hugged Guru Maharaj and took his permission to leave.
Then Guru Maharaj's class started in
Bengali. Wonderful class. He just made the people to think that they should
chant at least one round of Hare Krishna Maha Mantra. End of his lecture; he
said after darshan I will he Question and Answer both.
He went to take Lord Jagannath's
darshan. He offered Mangos, Gova, Cherry, and different fruits to Lord
Jagannath. And also offered flowers and ghee lamp.
Then went to Question and answer booth.
Mostly students were present there. And he accepted four questions. Just it is
wonderful and very practical and perfect answers. Everyone just focused on Guru
Maharaj. I have done the recording. I will post it on Web, once I reach Mayapur.
After that we reached back to our flat. Then we got Jagannath Kitchadi
Prasadam; so he took some and then he said; he will do exercise. It was 12:00am
midnight. Then Ruci-rangata pr was doing exercise with him till 12:40am. Then
we begged Guru Maharaj to go to bed. And when he went to bed; he asked me to
read the jpssecrets@gmail.com. And I was reading all the answers.
But unfortunately only few, very few were correct. Then Gm was in half sleep.
And he asked about the Caitanya Book Progress; and he was discussing few points
and it was 1:00am. I said to him, "we will discuss tomorrow
morning!!!" He was continuously speaking. But with zero energy. So, I just
said, "Guru Maharaj! All that your body need is rest... Good Night Guru
Maharaj!" And I was holding his hand, and want to leave; but he didn't
leave me hand. But he slept. Really he is holding me in every way. And I am
back to Servant flat; I don't know, how will I repay him for his love and affection.
And more than accepting my insignificant service; and engaging me in his
service. And protecting me in every way. I am sentimental... I want to be like
this always, sentimental... I love you Guru Maharaj! Everyday, I am writing
this diary; I feel like everyday writing vyasa puja offering. Glorifying him
will be purify me.
