(14/AUG/2014) - Sri Mayapur Dham

 Today morning I got up late and I saw that everyone was busy in arranging the room for Guru Maharaj massage. So, one table was arranged and temporarily one setup was arranged by Koladvipa Prabhu to make Ksheera Dhara (Ayurvedic Treatment) and oil massage. And one permanent massage table is now ordered and it will reach soon to Mayapur. And I went up to see Guru Maharaj, he was taking shower. Then I left to Archives. Then Guru maharaj went to take darshan; and had treatment as I heard from other servants.

From Archives, I got the call from Janakiram Pr that Guru Maharaj want to see Sadaputa Pr's videos; so I rushed to Lotus Roof Top. And Guru Maharaj was just starting his lunch; so I just played the continuation of the video that we showed him yesterday. And finally we showed a presentation on 'Simulated World'. Guru Maharaj saw that video for 10 mins and went to bed. Then he told me that he read some articles that, "In heavenly planets also there are clones, but they are not conscious. But they interact…" Like this he started to speak and went to sleep; while speaking.

Then I went to archives and again back to see Guru Maharaj at 6pm. He woke up at that time, and Guru Maharaj said, "I want to call USA; my Godbrother Sikki Mahiti Prabhu." But Maha Varaha Prabhu said, "There is an appointment with Advaita Chandra Prabhu and Gauranga Simha Prabhu now!" Then Guru Maharaj got up and met them for 30 mins. It was wonderful discussion on the Vision of Srila Prabhupada on Sri Mayapur Dham. And many points were discussed in this meeting. In that one point, I would like to keep in this note, I have recorded the whole conversation. But this point I liked more. "Srila Prabhupada wants to please previous acharyas; certainly they wanted Navadvipa Parikrama to be highly presented, and recently we heard a lot Bhaktivinoda Thakura, how he predicted that, "People from England, France and Persia, America and all come together and embrace with the local devotees" and he said this during the British rule you know. When the British were… and he was saying that, "They will embrace each other and say, "We will accept Lord Caitanya, we want to get love of Krishna!"" (by saying this words Guru Maharaj went into ecstatic feeling and his voice started to crack.) So, this is Bhaktivinoda Thakura, But Srila Prabhupada, he actually went and brought the people. It may not come up in his teachings; but it came up in the previous acaryas. "" That someone will come and do this…

"…if you were with Srila Prabhupada… He definitely wanted to please the previous acharyas. He said, how important was TOVP, not just for himself, but also for the previous acharyas. Sometimes, he was under the criticism. Once he told me, "My Guru is by my side, at every moment he is by my side! He is right here!" and the way he said, he can see Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura stay there, that may not be on the BBT recording, THAT IS HERE. Guru Maharaj pointed out his heart, and he was in full energy and loud voice. Different vibration, he was vibrating…

After the meeting Guru Maharaj, met one Bengali couple. The wife serving in Guru Maharaj office. They were waiting to see Guru Maharaj, and they offered a CROCS (Shoes) to Guru Maharaj. She asked one South American Mathaji and order the CROCS which Guru Maharaj use it and same size. And offered it to Guru Maharaj. And He immediately accepted it. Then Guru Maharaj said, "Give one of my shocks as a maha in return." Then she told that, "Someone presented me a deity during my marriage as a gift, but I am not able to worship Them, as I am not getting time. I am attending everyday temple programs and services, and service in the office, etc. So, what should I do?" Guru maharaj said, "Srila Prabhupada said, in the main temple altar, behind the main deities, we should have an altar to keep the deities of the grihastas personal deities. So that they can do temple service, and deities will accept all the pujas and offerings made for main deities." Then Guru Maharaj asked her to speak regarding this to His Grace Jananivas Prabhu.

Then took shower and then his dinner and Gayathri and to bed at 9:30. Jaya Radha Krishna Prabhu started reading Brihad Bhagavatamrita. Tomorrow, I have to be in the morning shift as Madhava Kanta Prabhu left to Kolkata to receive the Ayurvedic Doctor and Guru Maharaj's Cycling wheel chair… Guru Maharaj eagerly waiting for that wheel chair… We all waiting to see Guru Maharaj to independently drive his own wheel chair and go around.
