- Sri Mayapur, India
Today morning I went to see Guru
Maharaj at 9:00am. Guru Maharaj was taking his dwadasi breakfast (Dosa, Sambar
and Chutney). I was there to assist him in any of his needs. And then Guru
Maharaj was discussing with Madhava Kanta Pr and Prasanna Gauranga Pr about
idly and how different different way idly can be made, how do they mix in South
india; what is the propotion etc... Then I went to Archives to do my seva.
At 2:00pm I just came back to Guru
Maharaj's room. Guru Maharaj asked to connect the big screen to watch the video
presentation of yesterday's continuation. Then after that I got sometime to
read the answers for Question number #9. And Guru Maharaj gave a clue for that
question as many were given wrong answers. And then one mathaji wrote a mail to
Guru Maharaj that, she chanted 50 rounds and she offered it's merits to Guru
Maharaj for his health. So Guru Maharaj wanted to reply back; but I said,
"not more than two lines, as you are tired now." So Guru Maharaj
agreed and gave a message one line how he got sickness. And another line,
"you should give me only 50% of the merits, because I want you to advance
in your spiritual life." Who can be like this. It just touched me heart.
And I continued reading the answers. And some have given the whole pastime;
when I was reading Guru Maharaj was just went to ecstasy, thinking how merciful
is Lord Caitanya!!! There is no way one can imagine the level of his
transcendental activities. Then he took rest.
Again he got up and went to restroom
and was sitting and chanting his rounds. Then went to bed at 7:00pm. We all let
him to sleep till 8:20pm. Suddenly Guru Maharaj got up and asked for time, when
he heard the time. He said, "I want to go to darshan!" But everyone
said, it is late already, darshan will be closed at 8:30pm. Guru Maharaj got up
and change his dhoti; like a race car, we made him ready in few mins. But Lord
Narasimha dev darshan and Sri Sri Pancha Tattva darshan was already closed,
before we reach temple. But somehow, Madhava Kanta Pr and Srivas Pran pr was
holding the darshan of Sri Sri Radha Madhava for few more mins for Guru
Maharaj. And Guru Maharaj took darshan of Sri Sri Radha Madhava. Then he
offered his prayers. And then Pujaris said, Lord Narasimhadev Darshan open for
Guru Maharaj. It was simply wonderful darshan; no garlands at all. It is like
Mangala Arati darshan. I was praying to the Lord to give back Guru Maharaj's
health from Guru Maharaj's backside. I don't know what Guru Maharaj prayed in
front. Must have prayed to the Lord to allow him to travel and preach.
Then Srivas Pran pr informed us that Pancha
- Tattva dressing is half way through. So they will open after 5 to 7
mins. Then Guru Maharaj went and waited before the Lord for his darshan. And we
requested Guru Maharaj to chant his Gayathri and he was doing it. Then
suddenly they opened the screen of Sri Sri Pancha Tattva altar. It was
wonderful mangla arati darshan. There also, I prayed to the Lord, "Please
be merciful on Guru Maharaj."
From there Guru Maharaj went and did
prayers to Srila Prabhupada for sometime. His Grace Jananivas pr came to see
Guru Maharaj. And we asked to him to come and speak with Guru Maharaj inside
Caitanya exhibition; since there were so many devotees, there may be some.
Distraction; so we took him inside Chaitanya exhibition. It was wonderful
conversation. Which made me to feel most Fortunate; because the glories of Guru
Maharaj was understood, when he meet his God-brothers. Some different
vibration. Since Jananivas pr is also my Hero; everybody's hero.
Tomorrow, I will post the recording 'S transcription. And I was recording
the conversation. Just 10 mins.
Once we reach, Lotus roof. Guru Maharaj
started to take his dinner. Maha Varaha Pr, Myself and Tulasi Ramanan pr were
sitting outside and started to discuss about Guru Maharaj's pastimes. It was
wonderful. Time was going in speaking about Guru Maharaj's lila.
Maha Varaha Pr shared his
realisation: At 8:20pm. He was thinking in his mind to go for Darshan; but he
thought let me chant my rounds and will see the deities tomorrow. But
Guru Maharaj got up at the same time and said, I wanted to go to temple to take
darshan. He was really moved. When he heard that. In this condition Guru
Maharaj doesn't want to miss even a darshan for one day. Vaishnava will always
take Lord's darshan. Then Guru Maharaj took prasadam and got tired and the.
Again restroom and to bed.
Before going to bed, he dictated a
audio for three devotees. It is all his mercy, we are just running; he is just
like ocean, how much ever you take the ocean never can be emptied....

(The following is the conversation
between Guru Maharaj and Jananivas Prabhu on 10th JULY 2014 night)
Guru Maharaj: I was thinking how I feel nice to embrace you; but not today as I am sick. So I am offering my pranams to you.
Oh! I have some nuts to give to the
deities.
How can I serve you?
Jananivas prabhu: if you can pray to
Gauranga for me someday He may accept me as His servant!
Guru maharaj: I would ask you to pray
that for me!
Jananivas prabhu: I can do that
officially maharaj.
Guru maharaj: in the Krishna nama Milan
someone saw Lord Caitanya blessing all the devotees, He was so pleased. I am
putting up some questions in the Facebook everyday. Some questions about
Gauranga to see who can give me the right answer and so that's... How many
people are receiving that?
Shyamarasika das: more than 3000, Guru
maharaj
Guru maharaj: we are trying to get
people to think about Lord Caitanya. This site has almost 11000 people now but
this particular subject is about 3000 people, so you have any examples of Lord
Caitanya's mercy?
Jananivas prabhu: ya ya, I do .....
just by seeing you, just by seeing you Maharaj we immediately remember Lord
Caitanya, and service to Gauranga immediately reminds us of Gauranga.
Gurumaharaj: While I am on traveling we
can have a 10 day program from Jananivas (questions from Jananivas pr for
Facebook Mercy contest)
Jananivas prabhu: thank you maharaj, I
am not qualified to do that...
Guru maharaj: Are the deities
satisfied?
Jananivas prabhu: I think they are...
Guru maharaj: I remember Prabhupada
asking that question then one look bewildered then Prabhupada would say that
the pujaris should know.
Jananivas prabhu: ya! they are
satisfied, but I don't think they are satisfied with me but overall they are
satisfied with other pujaris.
Guru maharaj: any service that I can do
for you!
Jananivas Prabhu: if I can walk you
when you come into the temple and if I can walk back with you, I consider that
as a great benediction for me.
Guru maharaj: I am trying to get a
cycle wheel chair (Guru Maharaj doing cycling action) (Jananivas prabhu laughs)
so that I can, but they don't exactly have my size but you are always welcome
to come!
Jananivas prabhu: yes!
Guru maharaj: How is Pankajangri?
Jananivas Prabhu: Yes, he is traveling
in Europe and then he is going to go Russia after rath he will be there for a
month or so...
Guru maharaj: He will be there for
the......
Jananivas prabhu: He will be there for
a month.
Guru maharaj: he will be there for
which festival?
Jananivas prabhu: He was in Croatia and
couple of festivals with Sacinandan Maharaj and couple of cities to go
from there and then he might go to Russia. I don't know exactly which festival
it is.
Guru maharaj: I may see him in
Russia... [END]
