(17/OCT/2014) Today Guru Maharaj got discharged from Hospital 10:30am and Guru Maharaj visited the place alloted for temple or for religious purpose. And Guru Maharaj suggested that we should have a spiritual care department in this Hospital as like Bhaktivedanta Hospital with their help. And by 11:30am reached the residence.

And immediately started attending GBC meeting through skype. And His Holiness Radhanath Swami maharaj, His Holiness Kavi Chandra Swami Maharaj, His Holiness Bir Krishna Goswami Maharaj etc personally wished Guru Maharaj.

As I was in the temple, as per the instructions we have to join in our afternoon shift. And also we have to shift all Guru Maharaj luggages and servants luggages, kitchen items to the new venue.

I was talking with Golokeswara Govinda Pr, who was on the night shift every night with Guru Maharaj. He said, "Last night Guru Maharaj was sleeping; and his sleep was so much disturbed. But later at 4am, Guru Maharaj started to speak,  "Yes! Yes! Yes Prabhupada! No! Prabhupada! And like this he was continuously speaking and he was very serious at that moment. As if he is reporting something to Srila Prabhupada and as if Srila Prabhupada asking lot of Questions." He is always with Srila Prabhupada, he is eternal servant of Srila Prabhupada.

In the afternoon we reached the venue and every one was busy setting up things for Guru Maharaj.  Then we fed Guru Maharaj lunch, he was extremely tired. During his lunch itself, he started to sleep. Somehow we requested him to take nice rest. Guru Maharaj had a long rest. And we woke him up by 6pm. And he got up and said, "I was collapsed. I was too.tired." Immediately after getting up, he asked to call Tirupati and enquired about the mins of the meeting, etc. Then Guru Maharaj started to discuss about his diet, and it was very detail. And we were not able to digest. And finally we said, "it is very difficult to calculate such a detail Guru Maharaj!" Then Guru Maharaj said, "I am a scientist, I want to calculate all the details." Then we agreed to do.

Then Guru Maharaj got ready and came to the hall from his room to attend Damodar arati. And again it was wonderful, all the secretaries and servants assembled and Maha Varaha Pr led Damodarastakam kirtan. And Guru Maharaj was there till they read out translation of the whole song and he was listening to it. And then he did Gayathri infront of Saligram. Then we asked Guru Maharaj to take his dinner in the hall along with servants. Then Guru Maharaj accepted and had his dinner. Sandeep pr and Radha Kishori Mathaji and their son Madhava were serving Guru Maharaj. And Acintya Caitanya Pr and Siromani Mathaji's son Madhava were also there, so Guru Maharaj called, "Chotta Madhava; bada Madhava!" Then Guru Maharaj went to his room after his dinner.

Again Guru Maharaj started about finding the details of proteins in sun flower seed, and other seeds, nuts, diary products,  grains. And Radhapati pr was searching on Google and giving the answer to Guru Maharaj. And Guru Maharaj's list was extending and extending... At last Sandeep pr and his son Madhava also started to help Guru Maharaj in finding the proteins.  Then it was intense, so to change the topic I opened up a messages and started to read out one messge.  And Guru Maharaj replied for that message, at last Guru Maharaj replied to the message and in the end of reply he asked them,  "How much protein is there in Brazil Nut?" And everyone started to laugh. Then I got the chance to read out Mercy Contest Answers to Guru Maharaj.  And he gave the 29th question to post.

Then at last Guru Maharaj went to bed at 11:30pm. Seeing Sandeep Pr, Guru Maharaj said,  "if anyone want to massage then my legs are waiting for them." Then Sandeep pr and Radhapati pr started Massage Guru Maharaj's lotus feet.

I always see in our beloved Guru Maharaj,  the hundred percent conviction on Spiritual master and the service and surrendarance to Guru. So, he want to somehow, engage his disciple or aspiring devotee in some service to Guru. So that they get immense, unimaginable spiritual boost, or credit... It is really wonderful. Guru is everything. By whom we can easily achieve Krishna. Even though Krishna is everything,  but it is not possible for conditioned soul like me to achieve Him with His demand and the amount of surrender. So, only way is to stick with Guru's seva, instruction. And with his blessings achieving Krishna easily. I always want to thank Krishna for giving me this opportunity to be with my spiritual master and for giving the opportunity to do some service at his lotus feet. Jai Gurudev!
