(29/AUG/2014) Today morning reached Guru Maharaj's service at 6:20am. And Guru Maharaj was in the bed, he was doing bed exercise. And he was saying, "Krishna! You are my insiration. You are my soul!" He was filled with so much of love. And Maha Varaha Prabhu came to clean Guru Maharaj's eyes; and check his BP. And he was explaining his visit Malaysia to Guru Maharaj. Then Guru Maharaj chanted his Gayathri outside his room and we also started to chant our japa. Guru Maharaj asked to call one mathaji in Hyderabad, and she was pregnant for 8 months. And she went for his simantanayanam - samskara. And Guru Maharaj started to explain the process of what they do. Guru Maharaj asked her one thing, which is important item that they use for that samskara, I didn’t get that name exactly. Guru Maharaj asked that mathaji, "Did you use that?" She said, "No! We don’t have that, so we used Mango Leave and they touched my head with that." Guru Maharaj said, "If you could have told me before, then I would have send that to you." Then he asked her about her sadana, and asked her to read Srimad Bhagavatam to child. And play Kirtans, and listen lectures always. And make sure that your child also hears it. Use speakers. etc… It is beyond devotee care… Special Care. Jayapataka Maharaj Care. One time I heard from Atma Tattva Prabhu (ACBSP) that, "I am jealous of Jayapataka Maharaj disciples, and the devotees under his care…"

Guru Maharaj prepared to go for his oil massage and after taking oil massage he came to see our room. And had a discussion with Maha Varaha Pr and Ekanath Gaura Pr regarding his travel schedules and about his treatment and diet etc. Then Guru Maharaj went upstairs and took his breakfast outside his room and taking fresh air "Vaikuntha breeze".

And Guru Maharaj wanted to go for Swimming pool to do his exercise. Before that, he talked with few devotees. Two devotees came from Bellsing Village from Bengal, they are our Guru Maharaj disciples. They want to give their temple and their lands to ISKCON. And they were serving for past 12 years by the order of Guru Maharaj; and Guru Maharaj visited that place during his Ganga Safari. And Guru Maharaj visited that place two times. And inaugurated Sri Sri Radha-Krishna Sundara Deity worship there. Now, they want to give to ISKCON. Guru Maharaj gave them instruction on how to do the procedures.

Then Guru Maharaj met another one devotee, who is his disciple. He is from the family line of Sri Sri Madhan Gopal's Sevaits in Belpukur. Guru Maharaj maintaining his family; and Guru Maharaj said, "I am not giving you the money for your maintenance. I am giving for the service of Madhan Gopal, and He is giving providing you everything. I am giving you money, you are getting bhoga and offering it to Madhan Gopal and eating that His Prasadam and maintaining yourself and your family. So I am serving Madhan Gopal." Guru Maharaj wanted to make Nath-Mandir in front of Madhan Gopal Temple. So, that devotee wanted to give the land to ISKCON. Then Guru Maharaj went to take darshan of deities with his cycling wheel chair. All the devotees where amazed; seeing Guru Maharaj moving around independently. And then from there, he went to Gada - Swimming pool to do his walking therapy. Maha Varaha Pr, Ekanath Gaura Pr and Janakiram Pr went inside the pool. And I went to Archives.

Guru Maharaj got ready by 6:30pm to go for the ishtagoshti in Namahatta Bhavan. More than 2500 devotees were waiting for Guru Maharaj. And when Guru Maharaj entered, everyone stood up and gave him respect and the kirtan was ecstatically lead by Youths of Mayapur and Guru Maharaj started to dance for their kirtan that made everyone into bliss. And Guru Maharaj gave wonderful lecture for nearly 2 hrs with question and answer session. And Guru Maharaj wanted to give prasadam to all devotees. So, he asked the management to arrange for prasadam. As per his instruction they made Kitchidi Prasadam for all the devotees. Then while coming, Guru Maharaj asked for the prasadam to check the quality, and we got a plate. And I fed him little bit kitchidi. And Deva Gauranga Pr got call, that Guru Maharaj dinner is waiting, and Guru Maharaj asked, "What is the prasadam?" They said, "Kitchidi." Then Guru Maharaj said, "I am already eating Kitchidi."

Then we reached Lotus and Guru Maharaj took his dinner and chanted his Gayathri; after that I got some time to read all the answers for Question number 23. Then Guru Maharaj went to bed at 10:30pm. Guru Maharaj asked me to call devotees in USA. And I said, "As you are tired now, I can't do it. You have to take rest." Then Jaya Radha Krishna Pr started to read Brihat Bhagavatamrita. - (Shyama Rasika Dasa - Personal Diary)
