(14/JUL/2014) - Kolkata, India

Today I went to Guru Maharaj Flat at 2pm and just joined in the afternoon shift. Guru Maharaj took his lunch and Janakiram was feeding him. And I was thinking what to do? Then I asked Guru Maharaj, shall I play one Prabhupada lecture during your lunch time.  He didn't answer; there was silent. Then I played one Caitanya Caritamrita lecture given in 1975, Bombay.  Guru Maharaj heard the lecture and completed his lunch. Then Guru Maharaj went to afternoon rest at 4pm.

Then he woke up at 6 pm. While he was getting up, we were pulling him to get out N of the bed. But he was not moving, then I said, "Guru Maharaj you are like Ratha, we are trying to pull you. But you are not coming." He replied in Bold voice, "Don't make aparatha!" Then I said, sorry Guru Maharaj! And he took fruits, we fed him Jamun Fruit. Then Guru Maharaj Ruci-rangata pr made Guru Maharaj to walk with elbow cruyches.  He walked 150 steps. As Dr. Achyuta nanda pr was monitoring his walking and legs. Guru Maharaj then took his dinner. After dinner again he took nubulization therapy.  During that time, Maha Varaha Pr asked Guru Maharaj keep.his. back straight and asked him to inhale like pranayama style.  Then Guru Maharaj asked everyone to do it.

Then Guru Maharaj said, I want to meet Dr. Pavan Agarval tomorrow and get his opinion about my health improvement and also want to go back to Mayapur soon. Guru Maharaj somehow want to go to Mayapur as early as possible. He was just keep on saying that, we will go to Mayapur.  As he is feeling bored to take care of his health it seems. He least bother about his health. So he give all the possible reason to go Mayapur.  Who can understand his heart.

Then after many days Guru Maharaj went to bed at 10:30pm. Actually for everyone it was really give an amazing word or expression in every servants face, that Guru Maharaj is going to sleep early. Then after putting him on bed. I started to read Srimad Bhagavatam 5 th canto 16th chapter "A description about Jamba. dvipa. Somehow I was read hin till 22nd verse.  And I read till 11:30pm. He go to sleep.

As Guru Maharaj is now under Antibiotics;  his stomach get upset after or before every meal. So, we have to take him to bathroom every time. And every time when I get a chance to wash his feet and give him bath. I used to think; that the all merciful God has given me the opportunity to celebrate every day, every time Vyasa Puja,  doing Pada - puja. Even though it is common for all the servants and whoever serve Guru maharaj. But I feel I am really blessed. And by thinking like this every time. In front of him I do mental prayers for my unlimited offences at his lotus feet. SERVing Guru Maharaj is a benediction. Simply wonderful to be with him.
