(28/JUL/2014) - Sri Mayapur, India

Today morning I just paid my obeisances to Guru Maharaj and left to Archives. In the afternoon;  I return back to Lotus roof; as they called me to make the video conferencing setup. But, the meeting going to be tomorrow morning. Maha Varaha Pr was reading mails and Guru Maharaj was dictating replies. Maha Varaha Pr said, "Guru Maharaj answered for 5 long mails" Then Guru Maharaj went to bathroom; so I was assisting afternoon shift devotees. Then Guru Maharaj asked me to read the answers for Question number #15. Then I read all the answers; some where wrong speculations. So Guru Maharaj was laughing so much. Then Guru Maharaj went to bed for his afternoon nap. Guru Maharaj was playing with Bengali Brahmacari servants; saying some word, "Banglastami" they were thinking what is that? Then they started to speculate and speculate; then Guru Maharaj said,  "there no such word." Like this he was playing like a small kid. He is energetic; and healthy today.

Gauranga Simha pr came and he was discussing with Guru Maharaj regarding the meetings and updates. Then Guru Maharaj took rest. Then I went back to archive to continue my service.

At 6:30pm Deva Gauranga Pr called me and said, "Guru Maharaj is now in Chaitanya exhibition,  chanting his Gayathri;  come fast with camera to take pictures. Then I rushed to temple. And took the camera also. After his Gayathri. Guru. Maharaj went to take darshan of deities. And devotees and public were just trying to get his darshan and blessings. So, there was lot of work for the security to make way for Guru Maharaj and pushing people from Guru Maharaj's path. Then after darshan Guru Maharaj came back to his quarters and took his dinner. I was feeding his dinner. It is just boiled rice and boiled dhaal. Guru Maharaj was just taking it as he was hngry. He took 40gms in the morning and night now 40gms. Then after dinner he went to bed at 9pm. It was an amazing factor for all the servants as Guru Maharaj is on bed at 9pm. But, he started to hear Bhagavatam; and Jaya Radha Krishna Pr reading and reading...

Then Guru Maharaj was asking about Caitanya Book.  And I explained how we are going to work it out; the basic plan. As per his desire. And Guru Maharaj continuEd to listen Srimad Bhagavatam. At 12 am midnight Sri Caitanya Srivas pr came to our room and said, "Guru Maharaj asking something." Then we rushed to Guru Maharaj room. He just finished hearing Bhagavatam. Guru Maharaj was awake and he completed the 5th canto it seems. Mostly; he must have read 6 chapters continuously.  Then myself, Janakiram pr, went to assist Guru Maharaj. And Maha Varaha Pr also came to see Guru Maharaj and checked the fever; etc. Every thing is normal. Then we said, "Good Night" to Guru Maharaj and back to our room.

This new Ayurvedic treatment is working... He is getting better. But the doctors said, this diet will be there for another 10 days minimum to make his internal digestion system back to normal. So, it is a austerity time. Guru Maharaj is transcendental.  But we are feeling too bad; to give him this boil rice and dhaal. But we see, thus recovery period is very very important.
