(09/AUG/2014) - Sri Mayapur Dham
Today I went to Tulasi Arati and completed my japa
and I felt too tired so I slept for 2 hrs. And then went to Archives and return
back to Lotus to take Guru Maharaj darshan at 12:30pm. When I came; Guru
Maharaj Was Not there in his room. I asked Maha Varaha pr, he said, "Guru
Maharaj just finished taking Darshan of deities and talking with some devotees
in Caitanya Exhibition. So, I thought okay let's go and see Guru Maharaj there
itself; I went to Caitanya Exhibition. Guru Maharaj said, "Okay! Now
let's go and see our new CDM (Congregational development ministry) office. And
Guru Maharaj went to Chairs building. When Guru Maharaj saw me, Immediately he
showed his hand asking my hand. I have my hand; he was holding for sometime.
His eyes were filled with tears, I saw him; he is in ecstasy and he didn't
leave my hand. I don't know what to speak. He was looking around the artworks
of Lord Caitanya in the exhibition. I said, "Today you suppose to give the
20th question..." But no reply then he left my hand and started to talk
with one girl; he started enquire about her spiritual practices and about her
marriage etc. But, the touch of our Guru Maharaj was very deep. He was just
holding my hand for may be just some 30 seconds. But It Is DIFFERENT. As
the spiritual masters body is always connected with Spiritual world; so even
his material body is spiritual....
And then he went to security office in chakra, then he saw
Electricity office; Mayapur Seva Office, Bhadra Balarama Prabhu said,
"Guru Maharaj if your enter this office I will offer one flight
ticket." Then next Guru Maharaj went inside Gauradesha - Money exchange
office and he blessed the devotees there and Acintya Caitanya Pr was introducing
the staffs there. Then went to CDM and was spend some time in asking the staffs
about their job and how they are working and then blessing everyone with his
Jagannath stick. He went to QAS (Quality Assurance Service) and there he met
Hari Lila Pr, Vraja Krishna Pr & Rasa Priya Gopika devi dasi. And spent
some 5 mins discussing about their jobs and then he blessed them. Then on the
way to His office. He saw, CPD (Central Procurement Deparment) Guru Maharaj saw
that sign, And Dharmaraj Caitanya Pr came out and Guru Maharaj said, "I
have to purchase lot from here. CPD - Central Prema Department." And
everyone laughed. And went to JPS Office. There he entered into the office and
Ravi Gopal Pr introduced new staffs and there they did Guru Puja and Guru Maharaj
blessed everyone. Then return back to lotus at 2:30pm. Maha Varaha Pr was angry
because Guru Maharaj Suddenly made his own program and went; but here doctors
were waiting; Guru Maharaj lunch got delayed. And evening 5pm there is a
program in Namahatta with 1500 devotees. And there will be a lecture in Jhulan
Festival. So he was upset... But in 30mins he came back to normal. As
ultimately he is our Guru. So Maha Varaha. Said, "Guru Maharaj If
you do like this with proper rest and timely lunch. Doctor said, they will
increase these kanji days." So please take rest and follow this
treatment...
Then evening Guru Maharaj got ready by 6pm and Guru Maharaj
said, "I will first go to Namahatta and give lecture and then go to
Jhulan Yatra and give lecture there." We said, one lecture is good.
But he didn't agree. We all said it is not possible. Then Guru Maharaj
got Into the car and I went ahead 5 mins. And I saw no one there in Namahatta
hall. Then Gaura chandra pr said, "Everyone left as we thought Guru
Maharaj will not come. So everyone went to Jhulan Yatra. So better Guru Maharaj
Should Go there then come here after 8pm." Then I called Maha Varaha Pr
and informed the situation. Immediately they took a turn and went to Jhulan.
Leaving me here in Namahatta. Then I got Vraja Krishna Pr to drop me in Jhulan
yatra pandal. I reached exactly when Guru Maharaj was getting down. As I was
holding all the cameras. I have to be there taking pictures and video. Then
With Guru Maharaj we went to do Jhulan. Guru Maharaj did arati and Did
swinging..."
On stage he gave such a wonderful short
class on how this Jhulan Yatra is very, very important festival for Lord
Krishna. It was amazing pastime. Then we left from there and went to
Namahatta. They are ready and waiting for Guru Maharaj. They were very
well.organized crowd management. So there was no pushing and pulling. There
Guru Maharaj met Murshidabad and Vir Bhumi District Namahatta devotees.
His Holiness Gauranga Prema Swami Maharaj was there. Guru Maharaj delivered a Bengali
Lecture. In that he was saying about the important of their place. And said,
"if every house, if they do some preaching, Krishna seva; automatically
nastik will come down..." Then after 30mins talk we came back to.Lotus.
Guru Maharaj took his dinner and during dinner Ekaleshwar pr was reading mails
and replying. After dinner he met two Mathajis as they got appointment to
discuss something with Guru Maharaj. While they were speaking with Guru
Maharaj, i got the opportunity to clean Guru Maharaj room. when i was doing
that, i prayed sincerely asked for forgiveness for any aparatha that i have
committed during my seva. This clean service is really wonderful; It really
have some immediate responds in the Form of satisfaction. After that he chanted
his Gayathri and went to bed. I paid my obeisances. Jaya Radha Krishna Pr
started reading Bhagavatam... Tomorrow will be a hectic day. As Guru Maharaj
going to travel from Mayapur to Kolkata and day after tomorrow he will come
back to Mayapur. He is going for the court hearing on Kolkata Temple. As he is
the only witness now in this world from 1971. He knows all the history of
Kolkata Temple. So Guru Maharaj going.... I may not go. As only 7 devotees are
so far selected to go. Others will take rest. I have lot of work in Archives...
