- 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.
