(16/08/2014) Today morning I got up at 6:15am. And I suppose to be there in the morning shift at 6am. I rushed and reached Guru Maharaj at 7am. Maha Varaha Pr was cleaning Guru Maharaj's eyes. And he said, "Guru Maharaj was saying just now! "Brihat Bhagavatamrita is simply Nectar! Nectar! Nectar!"" Then Guru Maharaj asked to call some USA numbers to talk with few devotees. We called three numbers, two of them didn't pick their call. Unfortunate souls. And we called one devotee, and he is chanting one round a day, and he is doing lot of other service in internet and preaching, etc. Guru Maharaj said, "These are all pious activities can take you up to heavenly planets. But, I want to take you to the spiritual world, which is possible by chanting more number of rounds." But still he was saying his points, explanations why he was not able to do, etc. Then Guru Maharaj gave a request, "At least on Ekadasi, Janmashtami and festival days, chant more rounds." I was thinking, how much Guru Maharaj coming down to make a person to chant Hare Krishna Maha Mantra and requesting him; so that he can deliver him. It was mind blowing mercy.

Then Guru Maharaj, went for the ksheera dhara treatment, the senior doctor did the massage for Guru Maharaj; and Guru Maharaj was chanting Hare Krishna throughout this treatment for 1:30hrs. Then Guru Maharaj came back from the treatment and took his breakfast and shower. After that, he attended a meeting with Mayapur Strategic Planning Committee. Then Guru Maharaj took his lunch after the meeting. And then he went to take his afternoon nap.

It was heavy rainy day in Sri Mayapur. And I also took slept for two hours. And then I went to see Guru Maharaj, but when I went up to his residence; he just came back from Darshan. I missed going darshan with him. And then Guru maharaj took his dinner, and then had a meeting with Doctor. And the Doctor said that he cannot compromise in treatment dates, he said - until 17th September. But Guru Maharaj said, "I have to go to Russia on September 5th. We both are holding our positions and not letting it." Then Doctor said his experiences with other patients and how good it is to complete the course. Then Maha Varaha Prabhu said, "After treatment, we can travel to Russia and stay there for ten days, and you can give lectures, and then London, then Malaysia, then Tirupati. We can go all these places. And spend time in every place, lectures etc." Guru Maharaj said, "Yes! Same thing, I am also saying, but from September 5th." Maha Varaha Prabhu said, "If you go now, few thousand devotees will be there." Guru Maharaj said, "5000 Devotees!" "But we already crossed half way in this treatment, we should not drop it now, and all your austerities of taking Kanji! and stay here in Mayapur for these long period everything…" Then Doctor said, "Guru Maharaj! Please allow me to treat you. And I need confirmation and final conclusion by tomorrow. As I am leaving to Kerala." Then Guru Maharaj said, "I am a servant, Krishna is the Master! If he give the indication, I will follow it." So, everyone said, "We will wait for Krishna's message." Then, Maha Varaha Prabhu said, "I will whatsapp Krishna now itself to tell you tonight." Then the meeting ended like this. And then Guru Maharaj started to chant his Gayathri. And went to bed. We all want our beloved Guru Maharaj to give important to his health; and we pray to Krishna to give that indication. - (Shyama Rasika Das - Personal Diary)
