- Sri Mayapur, India
Today morning I went to see Guru
Maharaj and he was in shower. And I went to arrange video conferencing from
lotus conference hall to lotus roof for Guru Maharaj with Mayapur.Tv crew. We
faced some problem with audio. And finally after two hours we figured it out
and then it started working. And Guru Maharaj also was lying on his bed and
extended himself and did the testing with his voice. Everything was ready;
meeting going to start at 11am. Guru maharaj said, "I will go to meeting
now." Then Guru Maharaj went to meeting and took darshan of deities. And
then Guru Maharaj said, "I will use this setup for the afternoon
session."
Then in the afternoon; Guru Maharaj was
taking his Kanji diet 'boiled rice'. And then I heard told by Maha Varaha Pr
that one Bhakti Vriksha devotee from East London going to come to Mayapur now.
And I have to take care of him. He is physiotherapist. He is visiting Mayapur
for two days. His name is Dr. Raj Kumar and he is also Tamil speaking. So he is
new to ISKCON. First time to Mayapur.
So I gave him prasadam; and he was
eating outside Guru Maharaj room. And Guru Maharaj after his lunch, he
came out and directly went towards him. And this devotee Dr got nervous.
And he got up and paid his obeisances. Then Guru Maharaj said,
"Prasadam is Krishna! You should not get up! Please take prasadam."
Then Guru Maharaj said to me, "You should get Maha Prasadam and give
him," I said, "Guru Maharaj we have given now the Maha Prasadam of
Srila Prabhupada." Then, Guru Maharaj said, "I take care of your
spiritual routine... you take care of my physical routine." Then Guru
Maharaj went inside bathroom; then Deva Gauranga Pr came out and said,
"Guru Maharaj asked to serve sweet to him." I said, "already
served." Then he went and said to Guru Maharaj. Again he sent him back and
have came back and gave one more sweet and said, "Guru Maharaj want to
give you this sweet."
I am really moved with this care. Even
in this condition; he is unconditionally caring for devotees. Simply
wonderful...
Then i went to see Guru Maharaj; and
the discussion was about this Kanji diet. We said, "you are feeling Hunger
because this diet; implemented suddenly. That's why you are not getting
immediate sleep." Guru Maharaj said, "Yes!" Then we said,
"another two days; after that your body will be used to that; as per
the doctors. Then your digestion will be normal." After that Guru
Maharaj went to bed. He asked me to find out the afternoon session meeting; I
rushed to 1st floor. They said, "meeting got cancelled." I came up,
Guru Maharaj was sleeping. So we let him to sleep.
Maha Varaha Pr and also Guru Maharaj
asked me to take care Dr. Raj Kumar; since he is new to Mayapur. So, I took his
for Darshan, Gosala, and samadhi and Srila Prabhupada room in Lotus
building. Then when I return back. Guru maharaj was having a meeting with Madhava
Narasimha pr and Madhava Latha mathaji. And he took dinner "same
kanji" and meeting continued along with that. Then somehow, today it
got delayed and Guru Maharaj went to bed at 10:45pm. And Jaya Radha Krishna Pr
started to read sastra.
From tommorrow Mayapur GBCCom meeting
going to start. Next 7 days Guru Maharaj will be busy with meetings. Meeting
Mela Starting... As Guru Maharaj is tired; he is not speaking much. He preserve
his energy as per . doctor advice. So he show the action with his hand
movement. So we try to figure it out; what he is saying... and it is really a
test for servants, I feel; it will show, How much we have understood him, so
far.
