- 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.
