(25/OCT/2014) Last Night Guru Maharaj had mild fever due to the medicine that was injected in the Hospital. So morning Guru Maharaj was resting continuously until 11am. He was too tired. Then he got up. And he took shower.

We joined our shift at 2 pm. Guru Maharaj was chanting his morning and noon gayathri together. It took lot of time. Then he had his lunch. Guru Maharaj said, "From today I will follow wheat diet. No more rice." And during lunch time Guru Maharaj calles Vidvan Gauranga pr to discuss about Caitanya Book, and other book projects. Then meanwhile one devotee who is doing Ph.D came to take Darshan of  Guru Maharaj from Switzerland. And Guru Maharaj had special project for him. He is a flute player and doing musical school. His name is Bhadrarupa pr.

After lunch again Guru Maharaj met him and spoke for few mins. And Guru Maharaj gave him a very special service. The service is, "Guru Maharaj has 4 books full of Bengali songs with it Ragas. So it needs to composed with Raga according to Gaudiya Vaishnava ragas and also in inco raga." When I was repeating mistakenly I said, 'American raga', immediately Guru Maharaj said, "There is no raga in America." And imitated how Americans use guitar and do rock musics. And we all laughed see Guru Maharaj doing that in action.

Then Guru Mahaaraj said, "Once i asked about how to perform sankirtan yajna? To  His Holiness Gaur Govinda Maharaj, and he asked me to refer a book of Vasu Ghosh's songs. And there was a song explaining how to perform SANKIRTAN yajna (ahanda nama yajna). So we are following it." Only experts can sing the ragas given in the book itseems. But some interesting project now has come out from Guru Maharaj's lotus mouth. May be it is all he wanted. His desires. Then Guru Maharaj went to bed to take rest.

Later in the evening Guru Maharaj got up and took his evening milk, and took his cycling wheel chair and went to the hall to do Damodar arati. After performing the Damodar arati. He distributed Prasadam to devotees. And did some cycling exercises. Then came back to his room and took his dinner. And went to bed.

And from tomorrow Guru Maharaj is going to be online every evening LIVE. And going to speak on Srila Prabhupada Lila. Tentatively from 8pm to 9pm (IST). And we are planning to broadcast through Mayapur.tv (Jayapataka Swami Channel). Don't miss the nectars. (Personal Diary - Shyama Rasika Dasa)
