(14/OCT/2014) Today Pudarikaksha Govinda Pr came from Mumbai to see Guru Maharaj. From USA devotees got the medicine for his liver disease and sent it to India. This medicine was personally carried by His Holiness Bir Krishna Goswami Maharaj. And the medicine reached Mumbai and from Mumbai Pundarika pr carried it to Delhi. And gave it today morning to Guru Maharaj. And Guru Maharaj said, "You have saved my life." After Guru Maharaj darshan in Hospital, he came to see us in the temple and narrated this.

Golokeswara Pr told us in the morning that Guru Maharaj had fever last night. And then we started from temple to Hospital and reached at 2:15pm. Guru Maharaj was resting. And he told us, he had fever last night and it was there till 3am and I couldn't sleep properly. After 3 am I slept.

Today Tessi Nurse was on duty. When she entered Guru Maharaj asked her, "All the nurses are now chanting God's names, when they enter into my room. But you are not chanting." She didn't reply. She just continued her work. But Guru Maharaj was asking her, "You can chant any name, Jesus, Krishna any name." Then she said, "Hare Krishna!" Then Guru Maharaj said, "Why don't you tell th full mantra." Then he asked me chant the full mantra and asked her to repeat it. Then I chanted he mantra she repeated also Guru Maharaj repeated. Then Guru Maharaj said, "Thank you!" It is very nice to see them chanting the names of the Lord. When I was reading to Guru Maharaj from Brihat Bhagavatamrita, in that it is mentioned that nama-bhasa. Even chanting the holy names of th Lord, unknowingly as like Ajamila, the Lord reciprocate. He is so merciful. This simple chanting of the holy name deliver them, and what to speak of liberation, it is nothing. This is more than  that. Guru Maharaj who knows the essence and giving it to everyone.

Then Guru Maharaj had some tests; so we took him.  Dr. Sharin got to know that Guru Maharaj had fever. So he came earlier today to see Guru Maharaj and discussed with him. Guru Maharaj said, "I feel some connection with this Doctor. He is good." He took his lunch. And then went to bed for his afternoon rest. I read one message from a disciple seeking blessing for Damodar Program. And he mentioned about their planned reach out. Then Guru Maharaj gave them blessings and he was so happy to hear that. I remembered that the same thing he also mentioned to Srivallabha pr for his question, "What we disciples should do in this time for your health?" "...I would like to hear lot of successful preaching programs and improvements. Which will make me more healthier...

Also yesterday when Guru Maharaj was telling to His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj that, "I will here in Delhi for some time. I want to visit all our 12 different temples around Delhi. And which one is near by, I would like to visit first." Then Maharaj said, "There is a Jagannath Mandir near by, just 5 km from here. But it all small temples. Now you take rest Maharaj!" Guru Maharaj always thinking how to meet devotees and preach. He always inspired and the source of inspiration.

Then Guru Maharaj got up and in the evening, and he Thomas was on the duty. He came to give anti-biotic to Guru Maharaj. Then Guru Maharaj asked him to chant the Holy Name. And Guru Maharaj said, " You can chant any name, Jesus, Krishna, any." Then he chanted "Hare Krishna!" Then Guru Maharaj asked me to chant the whole mantra and he repeated it. Then he said, "I have heard this mantra in Village, but they sing with some tune." Then Guru Maharaj asked, "What tune they sing?" Then he sang the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra in a tune. And he is from Kerala. And he asked to you have ISKCON Temples in Kerala. Then Guru Maharaj started to list down the places. And Guru Maharaj said, "I visit many times to Kreals." And he started to explain Maha Mantra and the meaning of "Krishna, Rama, Hare" this mantra is to request to the Lord to engages in service. It is all like small classes. And they also listen and ask difdernt doubts. It was an interesting conversation.

Then Guru Maharaj got up, and we made the arrangements for the Damodar Arati, Ekanath Gaura Pr, Maha Varaha Pr, Acintya Caitanya Pr, Isvaku pr and Afternoon shift devotees joined with Guru Maharaj. And everyone sang Damodarastakam in chorus. We had one clay lamp and after Guru Maharaj showed his lamp we all showed it one by one. It was very wonderful moment. Very personal.

Then Guru Maharaj did his Gayathri chanting in front of Yashoda Damodar. Then he took his dinner. And I had opportunity to feed Guru Maharaj and Bk. Shyam helped me to feed Guru Maharaj. And it was 10pm. Our shift time ended. And Golokeswara pr and Maha Puran pr took over the service. Hopefully, everyday we want to do Damodar arati in our shift. And pray to Damodar to untie our Guru Maharaj from this Hospital suffering and make him travel around the world and preach, and more  Ratha Yatra Festivals, much more temple openings, etc... As early as possible. We don't want him to be like this. "If it is pleasing to YOU!" (Personal Diary - Shyama Rasika Dasa)
