(10/OCT/2014) Today we reached hospital at 1:30pm. And morning shift devotees headed by Deva Gauranga Pr completed their shift and we started our afternoon shift.

Ruci-rangata pr shift leader and I am his assistance. We started feeding lunch to Guru Maharaj. New nurse boy (Angur Joshi) was there in the shift from Hospital for nursing. Guru Maharaj asked his name and it's meaning, seeing us calling Guru Maharaj, he also started to call "Guru Maharaj ji!!!" And paid obeisances by touching Guru Maharaj lotus feet. Like this all the nurses were doing, Tarun (Morning Shift) Virbal (Night Shift). Everyone will first touch Guru Maharaj's lotus feet. It is very wonderful to see the instant or instinct culture of India.

Then Guru Maharaj got ready to sleep. Then he said, he will record a question for Mercy Contest. And for the laSt question only one mathaji wrote a answer and Guru Maharaj said, it is partially correct. Then Guru Maharaj asked me to Brihat Bhagavatamrita. But somehow the iPad battery was low. And I said to Guru Maharaj. Then i put it on charge. But, Guru Maharaj was saying, "Brihat Bhagavatamrita only can give me sleep..." i said, will read it to you later and asked forgiveness for this inconvenience. Then  after sometime, Guru Maharaj went into a deep sleep. Due to his tiredness.

Then he got up at 7:00pm. And at 8:00pm Guru Maharaj took his dinner. Ruci-rangata pr preparig and gave and I was feeding Guru Maharaj. Then Sri Vallabha pr, Vijaya Venu Gopal Pr and Acintya Caitanya Pr came to see Guru Maharaj. And one by one came and spoke with Guru Maharaj for five mins to ten mins. To Vijaya Venu Gopal Pr Guru Maharaj talked about devotee care committee meetings and presentation in GBC meeting, which is going to happen in Tirupati. Then Acintya Caitanya Pr spoke about his recent preaching tours. And how he is going to do Govardhana Parikrama with.devotees for Guru Maharaj. Etc...Then with Srivallbha pr, he spoke for some more time. Sri Vallabha pr gave the report of DamodaraDesh report of their preaching, and the inauguration of Damodar Month. Then he asked Guru Maharaj, "What do you want your disciples to do now for you in this condition, how we should pray?" THEN Guru Maharaj replied, "They shouled pray, "If it is so pleasing to Krishna..." Like this. And I don't want to take their whole 100% results. So I pray, "Whatever they are giving 50% will go back to them." And then Guru Maharaj continued, "if they become serious and do their sadana, preaching, devotional service seriously, then automatically I will become alright." And then Guru Maharaj also said, "One young girl said to me, "I will suffer for you, I will take this suffering, or asking Krishna give me all those sufferings I will take it." One should not pray like that... So this question of Sri Vallabha pr is timely question and answers will certainly help devotees to do proper prayers.

Guru maharaj want to give back the 50% of the results that is dedicated to him, is just because he wanted us to develop in Krishna Consciousness. This he said, once to one as I remember.

Then Guru Maharaj was telling to all of them about his diet and the present condition, etc... And at 10:00pm. Out shift time got over. Golokeswara Govinda Pr entered. Today he came late, so Damodara arati was not performed in our shift time. Mostly Guru Maharaj will do it in third shift. We left the Hospital by 10:30pm to ISKCON Temple. Again tomorrow afternoon 2pm, we will join back in the service. Many leaders are slowly coming and visiting Guru Maharaj. And other servants also slowly we are assembling here for the service. As we all came to know as said by Ekanath Gaura Pr, Guru Maharaj will be here in Delhi for few more weeks... We all pray to Krishna, Gauranga... For our Guru Maharaj's speedy recovery... Jai Gurudev!
