(13/JUL/2014) - Sri Mayapur Dham
Today I met
Guru Maharaj at noon time. And when I entered I paid my obeisances and then saw
Guru Maharaj. Guru Maharaj gave his left and I just got hold of his hand
for few mins. He asked me, "what is the news?" I said, "in
Brahmacari kitchen they are celebrating Srila Prabhupada Vyasa Puja and
Abhishekam will start in few mins." But I heard that morning Doctor from
Bhaktivedanta poly clinic came and checked Guru Maharaj's left eye; which is
giving some kind of pricky pain; due to eye gets dried up fast. So Maha Varaha
Pr was cleaning Guru Maharaj's eyes as per doctors instruction. And then Guru
Maharaj went to darshan. Normally at 1pm they close darshan of deities.
But for Guru Majaraj they waited 10 more mins. Soon after darshan Guru Maharaj
went to Brahmacari kitchen. We all thought it is too late and it is no worth of
going there. But when we entered His Grace Jananivas pr was speaking. When he
saw Guru maharaj; he just concluded his glorification. And Guru Maharaj
started to speak. Guru Maharaj spoke on different pastimes that took place here
in Mayapur. And when Guru maharaj was explaining the pastimes; I saw Jananivas
pr... who was been there at that time; he was enjoying every pastime. And
every devotee was enjoying those pastimes of Srila Prabhupada. Even though we
heard many times still it is fresh. And we wanted hear more. Then Guru Maharaj
touched all the Abhishek paraphernalia and offered arati to Srila Prabhupada
and left from there to Lotus Building. And Guru Maharaj came to our room and
was talking with Maha Varaha Pr for few mins and we showed the massage room,
where Guru Maharaj going to take massage from tomorrow. Then While going up on
the Lift. Guru Maharaj put his elbow on Janakiram prabhu's belly. And was
speaking with Maha Varaha Pr. Then Guru Maharaj said, "I
wonder; how the wall is having a nice Cushion.
After lunch Guru Maharaj was telling about Sadaputa pr's video
and place were meru mountain is situated and Himalayas is there. Then I said,
so South India is not Bhakta Varaha. East Asia, North Asia is I'm Bharata
Varaha? Then Guru maharaj said, "Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati
Thakura said, "if I have to take birth again, then I want to take
birth in South India." Then Guru Maharaj said, "Because lot of
Acaryas, Sadhus and Spiritual sadhus are from South. But in Bengal, "Nake
Tilak; Kaler Mala; Piche deki Sundar wala!!!" Hearing this everyone
laughed. Guru Maharaj whenever he cut the bengali proverbs it is really
wonderful.
Then he took his afternoon rest. So, I went to collect some
books for Caitanya Book project. So I went to Yogapith and did prayers for Guru
Maharaj and for the Caitanya Book. Then I came back at 6:00pm. Guru Maharaj was
readily; sitting on chair. Then when I entered, Guru Maharaj said, "I was
waiting for you." Then he asked to connect calls to USA and we got one
couple (disciples) online. Then he spoke two calls like this. Then on that call
one mathaji said to Guru Maharaj that, "when she came, she was not able to
take darshan of Guru Maharaj. Only Jps Servant's allowed her husband and
sons." After that conversation; Guru Maharaj asked Maha Varaha Pr,
"Why!!?" I explained the reason; as that was in the period GURU
Maharaj was taking Antibiotics. Then Guru Maharaj gave some instruction
on how to make devotees feel like home.
Then Guru Maharaj had meeting with few devotees. Then he took
his dinner. I left from there and back to Servant room as I am too tired. I
don't think; I can go tomorrow Mangla Arati. LET SEE... (Shyama Rasika
