(15/OCT/2014) Today Golokeswara pr stayed back in the Hospital after his night shift. As Guru Maharaj wanted to do a puja and prayers to Saligram silas before starting his special treatment.
We started from the temple with Guru Maharaj lunch prasadam, as Ruci-rangada pr and myself got into the auto rickshaw. And we got stuck in the traffic. Somehow we reached 30mins. Late. Then Guru Maharaj did Gayathri and took his lunch. Then he wen to bed. But he didn't get sleep. His clicker was clicking Tic, Tic, Tic. And he was chanting continuously. I requested him to go to sleep. But somehow, every ten mins he asks something. Then he asked me read the Mercy Contest Answers. I said, "if read now and it will disturb your rest. Then Maha Varaha pr will not allow me to serve you. So rest now, once you get up. I will read, lot of answers have come." Then he agreed and went to sleep. But he didn't sleep; he started to do his bed exercise and his chanting. Then finally he woke up and said, "I don't want to sleep during dwi light." Then we heard that A Doctor Sharin will be coming to see Guru Maharaj. So Guru Maharaj got up and sat on the chair and started to hand exercise. Then Doctor Sharin came to see Guru Maharaj. When he entered Guru Maharaj asked, "How are you Doctor?" Then Doctor said, "when a patient ask doctor, how are you? That means he is alright and ready to discharge from the hospital." And then had a small meeting with Guru Maharaj. And mostly Guru Maharaj will be discharged from the Hospital tomorrow. After that, Guru Maharaj dictated message to GBC meeting in Tirupati to convey it, Maha Varaha Pr and Isvaku pr recorded it. Then soon after Dr. Rajeev entered Guru Maharaj room and Guru Maharaj asked him about the birth of immature babies, who take birth in 8 months, if mother get high blood pressure and they deliver child. So what will be the side effects of that delivery to that child. And he answered. And Guru Maharaj said, "One of my disciple had such delivery, so I just want to know." Then Dr . Rajeev asked, "Why just born babies have these difficulties? "
Then Guru Maharaj started to answer how according to one's karma, he suffer and enjoy. Some time, we see some bad person have lot of rich, money, etc. It is because he is enjoying his good karmas. Karmas are calculated hundreds of births.
Then Guru Maharaj started to narrate a pastime from a purana, "Once there was a brahmana, who was very poor. And he decided to leave his good wife and go to foreign land and work. And send some money. But his wife said, "Already we don't have money, if you leave me then, I will also won't have my husband. So please don't go." And he agreed due to his wife's will. And they don't have child.
In sastra it is mentioned there are five kinds of children. 1. First kind of child is 'Enemy' to the parents. The second kind of child, is a child if you have a debt in the previous life then to pay that the child is born to get from you the debt. The third kind is karma, because of bad karma one gets a child and that child may be bad child due to karma. The fourth child is Suputra - Good child. That Child does shraadha for the parents and he is very respectful and has all the good qualities. The fifth kind is called the 'udasina'. He is not for or against the family. But he is also not interested in family. Of all these kind only the suputra is good. All others cause anxiety to the parents or they might be so attached.
But the husband he couldn't dettach. His wife then said, "Why don't you see Vasistha muni, he is visiting the next village. He knows the past present and future." So then the brahmana went to see Vasistha muni. He bowed down and Vasistha muni said, "In your previous life, I don't see any good thing you have done. You were a rich man and a sudra in your previous life. But you hide your money somewhere and you suddenly died. Your wife and child, although you were rich they don't have money. So because you caused them suffering, in this life you don't have children and no money." He asked, "But how do I am born as a brahmana? How I have such a nice wife?" Vasista Muni replied, "The one thing you did good. In the holy month of Vaishaka for three days you served vaisnavas. Because of that you got to be born as a brahmana and got good wife. He asked, "Now what should I do?" "Well! There are seven days left in Vaishaka, do some Vaishnava seva you will have children and you will get money."
In some places in sastra it says vaishaka is the best and in some places it says Karthik is the best month. Karthik is generally better for advancing in Krishna consciousness. Vaishaka is same for advancing and for Material desires. Anyway there are all kinds of examples like this.
Just like in Damodar Lila, the two sons of Kuvera they were cursed to be trees in the house of Nanda Maharaj and saved by Nanda Kumar Krishna. They were watching Krishna's childhood pastimes then He pulled the motar and delivered them and devas they came out circumambulated Krishna and offered prayers that they can be His devotees and went back to their celestial abodes. So the soul is eternal the body dies so the doctors are the chemist of the body, they can help the body get cured. When our time is up; we go to next birth or back to spiritual world.
Vaishnavas always 'jivera-doya' - He feel sad if he see others in sadness, in pain as a devotees and the number of devotees of Lord Caitanya who were also doctors so being a doctor is a good profession for a vaisnava you should remember. I just want you to be a doctor for souls, so that we can take people back to spiritual world.
So like this Guru Maharaj gave a evening class for the doctor. It was really wonderful. I was doing the repetition to Dr. Rajeev. Then we prepared for Guru Maharaj's dinner. But before that we wanted to do the Damodar Arati. So I made very basic arrangement. Isvaku pr played Damodarastakam kirtan on his mobile phone; and Maha Varaha Pr and all our shift devotees did the arati one after another after Guru Maharaj. Then Guru Maharaj had his dinner. Then night shift devotees arrived at 10pm. We all put Guru Maharaj into bed for rest. And prepared to leave. Then Guru Maharaj asked me to read out the answers from jpssecrets@Gmail.com. Then I started to read out two letters. But it got delayed to go, as other devotees were waiting for me to go to temple. Then finally Guru Maharaj gave permission to leave. Hopefully tomorrow, I should read out all the answers. (Personal Diary - Shyama Rasika Dasa)
