(12/OCT/2014) Today we reached the hospital at 2:30pm. And Guru Maharaj was resting. And I entered and he saw me and immediately he lifted his right and saluted, and I also did my salute and said, "Shyama Rasika Das Reporting Sir!" Guru Maharaj replied, "Jai Hind!!!" And then I went closer. And said, "Now we are shift. Please take rest." He took his hand and kept on head and blessed me. I don't what to do at that moment, how to react. I just put his hand on position. And asked him to take rest and I sat next to him. Then after 15 mins of rest, he called and said, "I want to chant my Gayathri." As the IV line was put in his left hand we tied up the left hand for safety. As Guru Maharaj forget that there is IV and just use his hand as normal and it may hurt him. So he asked me to untie him. And he chanted his Gayathri.

Then he saw, Janakiram pr who reached today morning came to see Guru Maharaj. And he will be in the morning shift from tomorrow and today he joined us in the afternoon shift. Then Janakiram pr fed lunch Prasadam to Guru Maharaj. And Guru Maharaj was watching Indian News Channel. And noticed that Visakapattanam is now having cyclone and big storm. So he asked Maha Varaha pr to call Visakapattanam  ISKCON temple and find out, how are the situation there. Then also call Tirupati temple and ask how are the GBCs as many might be travelling down to Tirupati via Orissa or Andra Pradesh.

He said yesterday, how these nurses are like Robots. They just do whatever the doctor prescribed. If the doctor forgets to change prescriptions or update it. They just follow the same. Good Disciple means they should be like this nurses. If the Guru forgets to call them for Prasadam, then they will fast...

And before today's lunch, Nurse Priya was on the duty (She is also a Christian). Guru maharaj said, "I wanted to give you a gift." But she said, "Just your prayers is enough Swami ji!!!" But Guru Maharaj insisted and said, "Please take this gift..." And gave her a muffin. But she was very reluctant to accept. But Guru Maharaj wanted to give her. Finally seeing Guru Maharaj, she accepted. But I was sure that, she is not going to eat it. Then I came out of Guru Maharaj room. And she said, "I don't want this... actually I was not able to say no to him that's what I accepted it. Please take it back." And she gave the muffin and left.

Then Guru Maharaj took his lunch and went to bed for afternoon rest. Suddenly during his sleep, she entered the room and said, "I have to give one injection. But Guru Maharaj was sleeping. Then Guru Maharaj woke up, and she gave the injection. And Guru Maharaj asked her even in his half sleep, "How was the muffin?" She said, "It was good." Guru Maharaj said, "it was made with fine vegetarian ingredients and PQ that is why it is tasty." Then he asked, "Do you want to know PQ?" Then she said, "Yes!!! Sir!!!" Then Guru Maharaj asked me to get Nrsimha Oil. Then he asked me to apply it to him. Then he said, "Now apply to her." Then he asked her to smell it. And she was also reluctant first. But she smelled it. And it was very fragrant. Then she asked "What is it Sir?" I said, "Nrsinga Oil". Before she react, "Guru Maharaj said, "It is NURSING OIL it is for nurses. I will apply to everyone of you, all the nurses." Then he said, "This is also a gift, this is also prasadam and also medicinal." Guru Maharaj being a spiritual maste; somehow he want to give her mercy. But we didn't inform to Guru Maharaj that, she ignored the prasadam. But, he found another way to give her the mercy. And he asked her, "do you have obstacles in your life?" She said, "Lot of obstacles." This oil can remove all those." And then Guru Maharaj asked, "Do you want me to pray for you?" SHe said, "Yes Sir!!!" Guru Maharaj asked again, "Do you want to pray for only today or every day?" She said, "Every day Sir!" Then Guru Maharaj said, "Ok! Then you fill up details in my Prayers Book. I will pray for you every day." Then we gave Guru Maharaj's interview notebook. Guru Maharaj went to sleep for 30mins. Then we called her to do BP check up. Then she gave the book. And Guru Maharaj asked me read what she have filled up. And in that she written, "Hare Krishna!"

Then Guru Maharaj asked her about her family etc. This time she started to call "Guru Maharaj!" And every time she was uttering "Guru Maharaj!" Then Guru Maharaj asked her, do you have spiritual father. And Guru Maharaj said, "I am there for you!" She was so happy. And she said, "I don't know why! But I am happy to call you as Guru Maharaj! Rather calling you as Sir! But due profission we call Madam! Sir! But calling you as Guru Maharaj is very pleasing." And I was amazed. These are all amazing Lilas happening infront of our own eyes.

And Guru Maharaj was speaking with Janakiram pr and Guru Maharaj asked about his parents. And he said, "My father and mother are now having high sugar. Then Guru Maharaj gave advise, how they can reduce this and keep it under control. It was wonderful to see, how Guru Maharaj was very much caring in that state in Hospital also.

Then Guru Maharaj had a small meeting call over phone with TOVP Exhibit team. And then he took his dinner and chanted his Gayathri. By the time it was 10pm. So the next shift devotees entered and we have to move out. So, we took the leave from Guru Maharaj and left the Hospital. (Personal Diary - Shyama Rasika Dasa)
