(24/AUG/2014) Today morning Guru Maharaj woke up late as he slept late; and due to his tiredness. Then he rushed to take oil massage and he squeezed the time of treatment and took shower and his breakfast. Meanwhile I just prepared the Skype setup, audio video testing here in Guru Maharaj's room; and there in Delhi, our Godbrother Yudhister Govinda Prabhu did all the setups. The meeting suppose to start at 10am. But due to delay of members arrival from different place, they postpone one hour. So Guru Maharaj was on time. Just before entering into the meeting, we connected Caitanya Avatari Prabhu, who is now in China, preaching Bhakti Vriksha. And he organized the small get together of all our Guru Maharaj disciples in one place. So, they wanted his one min blessing. And blessings for the New Bhakti Vriksha program that they are going to start. We showed Guru Maharaj's darshan and Guru Maharaj spoke few words to all the disciples, " ni hao ma"  means "How are you?" in Chinese language. All the devotees were in full of happiness. Then Guru Maharaj entered into his Meeting Mela.  As Guru Maharaj is the wise-chairman and His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj is the Chairman for ISKCON Bureau. When they saw Guru Maharaj on screen; all the members welcomed Guru Maharaj. Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj said, "How are you Maharaj? And He said, Maharaj you became skinny, you lost lot of weight…" Then the meeting continued till 1:30pm.

And then Guru Maharaj did his Gayathri and took his lunch and went to bed at 4pm. Again the afternoon session scheduled at 4:30pm. So I went to do the setup. But Guru Maharaj was resting. Then Guru Maharaj woke up at 5:00pm and joined in the meeting. The meeting continued till 7:30pm. After that Guru Maharaj took shower and went for darshan. At that time it was heavy rain. And we all went to Temple for Darshan. After darshan Guru Maharaj did Cycling Exercise in Caitanya exhibition. It was very special. He was watching every pictures over there and was very much into ecstasy. And particularly whenever he comes near the picture of "Isvara Puri giving Initiation to Lord Gauranga!" He stop over there for few seconds and lift his head up and see that picture. And he feel ecstasy…

Then Guru Maharaj came back and blessed few devotees and gave them prasadam and went inside his room. Guru Maharaj when he entered, Deva Gauranga Prabhu said, "Guru Maharaj, you are wearing new kurta. We want to know, this Kurta is fitting for you. And how do you feel it. If you say yes! or okay! Then we will make it in the same pattern." Then Guru Maharaj asked Mukunta to come and see, how it is looking? Then he came and saw and said, "Yes! Guru Maharaj it is good." Then Guru Maharaj said, "We should eat for our satisfaction and we should dress for other's satisfaction." Then he made another comment immediately, "We should not eat for Ayurvedic Doctors!!!" Everyone started laugh. And Guru Maharaj was also laughing. It was wonderful.

Then Guru Maharaj took his dinner. And he went to bed at 10:00pm. And Jaya Radha Krishna Prabhu started reading Brihat Bhagavatamrita. And I am back in servant's room. - (Shyama Rasika Dasa - Personal Diary)
