(30/AUG/2014) As I am not in the morning shift from today, so I went so late to sleep last night at 2:00am. I thought, let me sleep till I myself wake up. But at 6:00am Sri Caitanya Srivas Pr came and woke me up and said, "Guru Maharaj calling you! Come immediately." I just ran to take shower and just poured water on head and  ran to Guru Maharaj. I reached Guru Maharaj at 6:15am. I paid my obeisances and got up, Guru Maharaj said, "Do you think that, I will forget! Never!!! You may forget! What is the time now in East Cost?" I said, "Sorry Guru Maharaj! I really forgotten." Because last night Guru Maharaj asked me to call USA, but I said, "No Guru Maharaj! You are too tired, so please take rest. We will call tomorrow morning at 6am." Guru Maharaj didn’t forget that. So, he called me. Then we called Maha Guna Mathaji first and Guru Maharaj was speaking to her different topics and about his visit to USA in November. After that call, we called Patita Pavana Nitai Gaura Pr in Dallas. And he was eagerly waiting for Guru Maharaj's call. As Guru Maharaj calling to many disciples over phone. But not him. But today Guru Maharaj called him. We tried to call Chitra Devi (Philadelphia/Denver) but we couldn’t reach her. But Guru Maharaj asked to call her repeatedly. But, we couldn’t reach her. I am mentioning the names here. So that I can remember in future about their conversations.

Then Guru Maharaj did his Gayathri and breakfast and suppose to go for oil massage. But he was discussing with Maha Varaha pr and Ekanath Gaura pr about next travel. So everything got delayed and it was 11am. Dr. Ramesh Babu (Ayurvedic) repeatedly, everyday was asking Guru Maharaj for ice cream. We all thought he is joking with Guru Maharaj, even Guru Maharaj himself  thought like that. But he started to ask everyday practically, jovially. Then Guru Maharaj said to us, "I think, he is not joking, he want ice cream. Get ice cream for him." Then like this three to four days gone. But yesterday, in front of Guru Maharaj, I said to Doctor that, "We will ice cream tomorrow for you." So, I went to get ice cream. And reached back and gave that to Dharesh Pr to give to Guru Maharaj and he will give to Doctor. And I went to Archives.

Then again evening 6pm I got a call to make setup for Skype meeting (TOVP Exhibit). Guru Maharaj was taking fruits. Hari Sauri Pr (ACBSP), Sridham Pr (GKG), Gauranga Simha Pr, Ekanath Gaura Pr were present in that meeting. But before meeting, I showed Guru Maharaj a new book that His Holiness Bhakti Caitanya Maharaj wrote on Govardhana Hill with beautiful pictures, etc. So, I was showing him one by one page. Then the meeting started. And it went until 7:30pm. Then Guru  Maharaj went to take shower. But we had a conflict in Guru Maharaj's schedule. As Maha Varaha Prabhu gave an appointment one month back to Namahatta Brahmacaris at this time. They were all assembled. And Guru Maharaj have to go to temple to give seminar on "Srila Prabhupada's Vision on Sri Mayapur" continuation (Day-03). So, finally, Maha Varaha Pr cancelled the Namahatta Brahmacari meeting and sent them for class and Guru Maharaj also reached Radha Madhava Hall to give class at 8:00pm. And took darshan of deities and started the class. There are 11 topics on this "Srila Prabhupada's Vision on Sri Mayapur" seminar. But Guru Maharaj said, "There should be one more topic, Development of Sri Navadvipa Dham." and he gave whole lecture on the importance of developing Navadvipa Dham, and how it will please our previous acharyas; the importance of Parikrama etc. After the lecture, Guru Maharaj came to his residence and took his dinner, now Guru Maharaj back to his normal diet. And went to bed at 11:00pm. Again, I gave him the word that, tomorrow morning we will call DALLAS.

Tomorrow I am going to be in morning shift… Jai Gurudev!!! (Shyama Rasika Dasa - Personal Diary)
