(15/AUG/2014)  - Sri Mayapur Dham

Today morning at 6am, I entered into Guru Maharaj's room. As a replacement for Madhava Kanta Prabhu, who is in Kolkata to receive Guru Maharaj's cycling wheel chair from Malaysia. As somehow, the wheel chair is not loaded into Air-asia flight. So, we are hoping that tonight it will reach to Kolkata. Morning, Guru Maharaj got up at 5am and did his exercise com chanting and due to his tiredness, he slept. And at 8am Guru Maharaj got up and he took some soup and was taken directly to massage room in 3rd Floor (Room No 308) in Lotus Building. We all heard the ecstatic mood of our beloved Guru Maharaj on Brihat Bhagavatamrita pastimes from Janakiram Prabhu; during this morning hours.

Guru Maharaj today morning he remembered that, Today Srila Prabhupada Vyasa Puja celebration going to be celebrated by SMIS (Sri Mayapur International School); he very much wanted to go; but due this treatment doctors said very strictly; no sun or no wind should not touch his body; as his body will be tender after this therapies and he can get flu. Then Maha Varaha Pr repeated this statement. Then Guru Maharaj said, "Then I have to go and attend the festival in Subtle Way." Arrange for Skype. I want to see what they are doing over there, and I want to give a short glorification. So I called Mayapur.Tv (Narasimha Pr) immediately he took his team over there and made the broadcast. And then Guru Maharaj went to his therapy. After therapy Guru Maharaj was watching the abhishek in Mayapur.Tv through Ruci-rangata Pr's iPhone projector. And then Guru Maharaj said, he want to give a recorded message to play in that celebration. So I did the audio message and I went there to play it; as the time was running out, I called Vraja Krishna Pr's help, to take me in his bike to SMIS celebration. And I reached on exact time. And I played the audio. Guna Chuda Mathaji made everyone to sit and listen it. Until then there was a big noise of children's playing and speaking etc. When Guru Maharaj started to speak, most of them heard it very attentively. And then, I got Srila Prabhupada Caranamrita for Guru Maharaj and back to Lotus Building. When I entered, I saw in Guru Maharaj room, the meeting was going on with Doctor and Maha Varaha Pr and Prasanna Gauranga Pr (Cook); Guru Maharaj was discussing about what are the vegetables can be added in his diet. Then Doctor allowed to take Papaya, Apple cooked for sweet. And some vegetable can be added. And finally agreed for some kind of kitchidi. And Doctor said, "The treatment will end on September 15.", But Guru Maharaj didn’t agree for that. So, still the discussion going on. And after the meeting, I gave to Guru Maharaj Srila Prabhupada Caranamrita. And then Guru Maharaj took his lunch. While taking lunch, Guru Maharaj was watching Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi's talk on Independence day. Guru Maharaj said, "I want to see! I am an Indian Citizen." Then I played him the video from Youtube, and Ruci-rangata pr was translating from Hindi to English. Guru Maharaj can understand Hindi, even he gave classes earlier in Hindi. But now, while eating, he was not able to concentrate on the speech. After that, Guru Maharaj went to bed at 4pm. After giving him rest, I went to Archives. Then some works for Caitanya Book.

I came back to see Guru Maharaj at 7pm. Guru Maharaj was again in meeting with Doctor. This time he added cooked butter milk. And Guru Maharaj asked the Doctor to meditate on how to make it possible to complete the therapy before September 5th. Still the discussion is not completed. And after the Doctors Meet. RadhaDuti Prabhu and Gosala In-charge came and met Guru Maharaj to discuss about their department. Then Guru Maharaj said, "After this 5 days of intense treatment, I will come and visit Gosala and Sulabh Kitchen and discuss with you there."

Then Guru Maharaj asked me; are you reach for the 21st question? I said, "I am ready." Tomorrow, he will give his question and he asked to send answers to from 1 to 10 to those who answered through e-mail. So, I have to work on it and send it to all. Actually, I said, "Guru Maharaj! I feel we should put one devotee for doing this work. Right now Rasa Priya Gopika Devi Dasi is doing, but it is keep on increasing…" And he said, half question, and tomorrow will be rest. And then he took his dinner, and he was happy to eat kitchidi and cooked apple. As our dear Gurudev enjoy Krishna Prasadam always, that is his only enjoyment. Moreover, he feel he is weak physically, but as per everyone's point of view and doctor's point of view, he is improving a lot. He lost his weight from 115 to 97.5kg in 17days of this diet. But it is difficult to do… I am too tired, tomorrow again I have to join in the morning shift, so I am back to Servant's room to my bed. (Shyama Rasika Dasa - Personal Diary)
