(08/AUG/2014) - Sri Mayapur Dham

Today morning after my Mangla-Arati and my japa came to see Guru Maharaj at 7am. When entered 3rd floor, Madhava Kanta Prabhu said, "Today Guru Maharj got up and got ready and chanted his Gayathri and now on bed to take rest." So, I went up to roof top. And I got the Vonage Phone from JPS Office. So, I went inside to setup it, if any calls Guru Maharaj want to make to USA. It should be ready. When I entered, Maha Varaha Prabhu was speaking with Guru Maharaj and Guru Maharaj was on the bed. I didn’t pay my obeisances. I just went directly to see Guru Maharaj first.  His voice was trembling and his eyes was filled with water, and Guru Maharaj spoke few things, "… there was couple they wanted to accepted Varnasrama ashrama, so they asked Srila Prabhupada for permission, and he gave them permission. In 1980 or some time, the husband approached his wife for physical relationship, but she didn't allow him, as she had promised to Srila Prabhupada. Then he went and filed case against her." And the case was dissolved by Guru Maharaj in the court by bribing the lawyer. And he left Krishna consciousness. (or both left Krishna consciousness.) So, Guru maharaj was remembering this incident and he was emotional. And he said, " In Goloka Srimati Radharani has 28 billion servants!!! With Srila Prabhupada's mercy, I will go back to Goloka Vrindavan. But without the Guru no one can go Back to Godhead." Then Maha Varaha pr took Guru Maharaj had and asked him to bless; and Guru Maharaj blessed me also; then Dharesh pr also. We said, "Let us go Back to Godhead, with your mercy." Then Maha Varaha pr said, "Please go to sleep, don't think anything now, and he said, Close Your Eyes! Now You are in Goloka! You are seeing Krishna! Is it" Guru Maharaj Replied, "Yes!" Maha Varaha Pr said, "Now! Krishna is Sleeping, so everyone should sleep! So, you also sleep now!" Guru Maharaj said, "Cow's are having bells on their neck, and it is making sound." Maha Varaha pr said, "If Krishna is sleeping means everyone will sleep, so don't think anything just sleep." Then Guru Maharaj closed his eyes, immediately Vonage Phone rang… That was Sakshad Hari Pr from New Jersey. Immediately Guru Maharaj got up and asked for the phone, "Let us call devotees." But I said, we will do it tonight, now you please take rest. Still he didn’t get  sleep. So he said, "If doctor is there, then they can do the treatment…" So, I called the doctor in and they started some basic face massage hasyam etc. And I left… Guru Maharaj went to temple and took darshan of deities later in the forenoon.

In the afternoon, I came back from Archives. Guru Maharaj was there in the meeting with Kaunteya Prabhu, Harilila Prabhu, Ekanath Gaura Prabhu and another one devotee. And this meeting went on till 1pm. Guru Maharj was tired, so he took some rest and then took some rest. We continued the yesterday's video presentation while lunch. After lunch at 3pm he went to bed and I woke him up by 5pm. But he was tired so, he said, "Another 22mins he will sleep." But he didn't sleep, he called Prasanna Gauranga Prabhu (Guru Maharaj cook) and asked about the preparations that he is going to make with kanji. Then at 5:45pm he got up and took shower and we went to Jhulan Yatra. Guru Maharaj was pulling Jhulan, and all the devotees was very much enthused to see Guru Maharaj in Jhulan. Kamala Gopal pr's ecstatic kirtan from Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura lines was wonderful. And His Grace Jananivas Prabhu gave a Maha Mango as Sri Sri Radha Madhava Maha Prasadam in Guru Maharaj's hand. And Guru Maharaj took little bit. Then we returned back to Lotus at 7:15pm. 

Guru Maharaj called one mathaji Alexandra in Germany through Vonage for 20mins. Then Guru Maharaj took his dinner and met Balaramdesh 30 devotees. And gave a small address. And blessed them with Jagannath Stick and Maha Varaha pr distributed prasadam. And then Guru Maharaj chanted his Gayathri and night shift devotees took charge, Hope he will be going to rest soon… I am on my bed writing my diary. Every servant they have lot of sweet exchanges with Guru Maharaj, but if they write 24hrs of Guru Maharaj may expressed 10times more than what I am writing. I am just making a note, to remember all these gifted moments with Guru Maharaj; by his mercy. Only by his mercy. (Shyama Rasika Das - Personal Diary)
