(02/AUG/2014) - Sri Mayapur Dham
Today morning at 9 am; I came to take the darshan of Guru Maharaj and Guru Maharaj was taking shower. He asked me to do the setup; for video conferencing. Then he was listening to the meeting and taking his breakfast and after his breakfast; he rushed for meeting.
Then again I met him at 2pm. During his lunch time. Ayurvedic Dr. Ramesh Babu was with Guru Maharaj; and Deva Gauranga Pr was feeding Guru Maharaj; and no one was there. I saw, the Dr. Was holding the bowl and cleaning Guru Maharaj mouth; and caring for Guru Maharaj as like one of the Servant. And I asked other servant; "why you are not doing this service and Dr. Is doing?" Then they said, "Dr. Is not allowing us; he want to do service." Today doctor was wearing neck beads. Fortunate soul...
Then Guru Maharaj took some nap. And he said, "wake me up after 44mins." Then he slept for 15 mins and got up.
And joined in the meeting... and during the meeting there was a topic about Caitanya Currency. Then Guru Maharaj replied, "Yes! I remember, Srila Prabhupada said, and I was there at that time. Srila Prabhupada said, "We should have Caitanya Currency" and he counted one Caitanya, 2 Caitanya, 3 Caitanya, 4 Caitanya, 5 Caitanya...." I am hearing this from Guru Maharaj first time.
Then at 5:30pm Guru Maharaj went to Lotus Conference hall to attend meeting directly. Then after meeting at 7:15pm, he went to temple.for.darshan at that time I went to Archives .I check the final copy of Sri Guru Prasanga Bengali August month Issue before it goes for printing. Even though I don't know Bengali, I just went to check the layout. But I missed darshan with Guru Maharaj.
And at 8pm, I came to roof top to see Guru Maharaj; He was extremely wiped out. And tired. Because there was not enough proper rest during afternoon. Ekaleshwar pr was reading emails to Guru Maharaj. Then i asked the doctor, please come to take dinner Prasadam. And the doctor said, "I don't want to take now." I asked him, "Why?" He said, "I want to wait till Guru Maharaj start his Prasadam. If I see him take his food, then I feel satisfy to take my dinner." I felt, "wow! I didn't think; I am going to eat before my Spiritual master." Then I also waited till Guru Maharaj take his dinner. Then myself and doctor both took out dinner. It makes lot of difference. By eating late; we may miss our.prasadam, or.prasadam may not be there. But it is possible to follow. Let me try, here after how much I can do.
Then Guru Maharaj went to bed at 9pm. Since Jaya Radha Krishna Pr was late, I took the opportunity to read all the answers from question number #17. Guru Maharaj replied to few. Then Maha Varaha pr came and Guru Maharaj had a wonderful discussion with him. Guru Maharaj asked, "Any more flight crash." He said, "No! But you (flight) crashed after all these meetings. During this recovery period." Guru Maharaj said, "I want to fly." Maha Varaha Pr replied, "you are always flying high; victory flag!!!" Then Guru Maharaj showed his action in hand like flag flying... Then Guru Maharaj listed a list of places that he want to visit during this year. Maha Varaha Pr keep on said, "we will do that, but now you have to rest. First your recovery then travel." Actually the list is too long, and Guru Maharaj covered most of the places in that list. Then Jaya Radha Krishna Pr came and I just competed the reading of all the answers. And I returned back to our Servant room. Then I took bath and came out I saw Jaya Radha Krishna Pr, I asked him what happened? He said, "Guru Maharaj is in restroom." So I went to help the night shift servants. Again at 11pm Guru Maharaj at bed, and he said, "I remembered a pastime, si record the question." And he gave the question number #18 for the contest. Half portion of the question is easy, and another half is hard. But, it is amazing that Guru Maharaj thinking about Maha Prabhu all the time...
Jai Gurudev! Everyday experiencing different day in his association. -(Shyama Rasika Dasa - Personal Diary)
