- Sri Mayapur, India
Today, reached Guru Maharaj during his
lunch and was assisting to make projection to make some presentation during his
lunch. After lunch Guru Maharaj went to rest.
I went to temple for darshan. That time
one Brahmacari met me. He said, "We pujaris are doing everyday two times
puja to Lord Narasimhadev, Sri Sri Radha Madhava and Sri Sri Pancha Tattva for
Guru Maharaj. We are offering 108 Tulasi leaf offering, Malawi flower
offering, lotus flower offering for Guru Maharaj's health. Please inform this
Guru Maharaj. We are all praying for him." So asked his name. His name is
Arjuneswara Govinda das.
Then I came to see Guru Maharaj; and he
woke up at 5:45pm. And soon after 6:05pm there was a unofficial,
personal, friendly meeting with Shadbhuja pr from TOVP. And he was telling Guru
Maharaj about his updates on TOVP.
Maha Varaha Pr asked Guru Maharaj,
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling getting better day by day, or
weaker?" After sometime, Guru Maharaj answered, "I feel weak, may be
if I go to pool and do some exercises then I can regain my strength." Then
Maha Varaha pr said, "From tomorrow.we will make arrangements for
that..."
Then Guru Maharaj went to temple for
darshan. He was too tired. But even, the devotees were pushing and
rushing to touch him, to take darshan of him, to get blessings from him. It is
too much messy. We were not able to clear them. And security came and they were
not able to.clear. The temple hall was filled with pilgrims and devotees. It is
during santhya arati. So everyone's view was on Guru Maharaj. And Guru Maharaj
met, TOVP fundraiser in front of Sri Sri Radha Madhava, then they were saying
about their results and their plans about going to different places to raise
fund to raise the temple. Then They introduced one devotee from Krishna Katha
Desh, who had collected 57 golden bricks for TOVP.
Guru Maharaj was happy. And they said,
"HE ID YOUR DISCIPLE." At that moment Guru Maharaj raised his head
and just pulled him and hugged him for few moments. He was so happy...
This hug must have given him go much of boost and greatest reward for his
service from his Guru.
Then after darshan Guru Maharaj came
upstairs and took his dinner. And was speaking with Sarva Jaya pr and his
family as they are leaving tomorrow morning and all the way they have come from
USA. Guru Maharaj was happy with them. I don't remember the whole conversation.
But Guru Maharaj was giving advise how the business is a karma of a grihasta.
Guru Maharaj said, "you have a family, you have a girl, you have to great
responsibility. You have to give her marriage. You have to two sons...."
Then he said, "according to Srila Prabhupada's karma he supposed to be
millionaire. But his business was not so good. He chose preaching...."
somehow, Guru Maharaj didn't conclude this statement. And I thought in my
mind. "Yes! Srila Prabhupada was millionaire after preaching..."
Then Guru Maharaj asked his daughter
"are checking my Facebook updates?" She said, "yes!"
"You are not sending answers for the questions?" Like this Guru
Maharaj was speaking for 15 mins with their family.
And then Guru Maharaj went to bathroom
and back to bed at 11pm.
Actually, from day after tomorrow
doctors from Kottaikal, Kerala Ayurvedic treatment will be here in Mayapur to
give Guru Maharaj treatment. So we are expecting he will be back out of these
toxins of antibiotic and other medicines.
Every day, expecting
some.miracles from the Lord. And make Guru Maharaj to walk and be active like
before. As Guru Maharaj said, "If Krishna willing." Now Guru Maharaj
is taking good rest and taking nice prasadam. And relaxing. Another two days we
have to wait for the doctors team. His extensive world tour travel made his
body too tired. Immediately Kolkata Ratha-yatra and Travel to Mayapur made him
sick. Only thing is we have to chant more rounds and pray to the Lord.
