(22/AUG/2014) Today morning I took Guru Maharaj darshan and left from Lotus and i heard that Guru Maharaj went for darshan and meerinting in Lotus Conference Hall. Again in the afternoon I went again to Archives. And in the evening Guru Maharaj took his Ayurvedic Oil Massage trratment. By 8pm I reached back to Lotus Building. Just devotees preparing for his dinner. I got the opportunity to feed him. And Madhava Kanta Pr was reading Guru Maharaj's travelling plans.

At 9:30pm Guru Maharaj came out to do his exercise on his cycling. Wheel chair. When Guru Maharaj came out from his room; he got digital counter. And I asked him and said, "Guru Maharaj let me count; and you can concentrate on cycling.  Then Guru Maharaj said, "I have some one to do this service." Then I said, "No one is here Guru Maharaj for darshan." Then Guru Maharaj took his cycling wheel chair and went other side and checked two Mathajis were there. Then he gave his counter to her and said, "Count how much I doing cycling. And in this way you can concentrate on my feet. Is this service is okay with you?" Then she said,  "This is the greatest of ever." Then Guru Maharaj entered the lift and we all thought he will do cycling in 3rd floor; but he went to ground floor to Caitanya Exhibition. And suddenly Guru Maharaj said, "I will go out" and from.there he went to Chairs Building and then to Brahmacari Bhavan and from there to senior Brahmacari building then again returned back to Lotus Building. It was like old days; Guru Maharaj go for walking around inside the campus and chant his rounds and also inspect what is going on. Then while coming back, Guru Maharaj saw few Visitors and then Guru Maharaj asked them, "How are you?  Where are you from?" They replied Mursidabad,  Immediately Guru Maharaj started to say the Holy places there and they all became so happy; when Guru Maharaj started to speak about their places. And then we came back to Lotus.

Guru Maharaj while getting out from the lift; he asked the security guard to give his Walk - talky and gave his blessings to all the securities. And they all replied back one by one.

Then Guru Maharaj went to bed at 10:30pm. Then I was updating about the Vonage  New updates. Then we called one devotee in Seattle, USA. He was very happy and at last he took aspiring and Guru Maharaj accept him as his Spiritual son. He chanted Mantra and in his mobile seeing Guru Maharaj's picture; he got the mercy. Then Guru Maharaj asked for his wife's number and called her also. But she doesn't speak English much. So Guru Maharaj said, "our Golokeswara Govinda Pr will translate in telugu." But when we call her; her daughter picked up the call. And she started to translate what Guru Maharaj was saying. Guru Maharaj started his talk, "I talked with your husband who is an half portion; so I also want to know how is the other half." And it went on. Finally Guru Maharaj asked her do you have any question; she asked, "How to get involved more in Krishna Consciousness.?" Then Guru Maharaj was explaining the nine process of devotional service. "You cook food and offer it to Krishna! You stitch cloth for Krishna! These Are all devotional services. Then she said, "I made garland and offered to Krishna on Janmashtami." Guru Maharaj said, "That is really wonderful, that is called Pada sevanam. By worshiping the lotus feet e will get closer to Krishna." And he went on preaching her. Then he said, "It is like learning cycle with training wheels; in the begging; it is like practicing devotional service in this material world. When you start to do cycle on your own; you will automatically entered into the spiritual realm." And at the end of the conversation, she also took aspiration. Again Golokeswara Govinda Pr chanted mantras and Guru Maharaj accepted her as his Spiritual Daughter; but while chanting her daughter also chanted mantra; then Guru Maharaj asked you also want to take aspiration. She said, "Yes!". Then Guru Maharaj said to the wife with so much of love and affection. "While cooking you listen to some lectures. I will try to get some Telugu Lectures for you. So that you can understand. And I heard that your husband is attending some telephonic classes and discussions with devotees. I will find out some telugu speaking KC group and join you in that." Wonderful conversation. Unfortunately this call was not able to record. As it was connected in landlines phone. Jai Gurudev! Every word is just to deliver. Every thought is to take us Back Home Back to Godhead. Thank you Guru Maharaj for accepting my insignificant services... I pray to Krishna to give me intelligence to service you better and proper.
