(01/NOV/2014) Today Guru Maharaj was too tired after his breakfast; he just went to bed again and slept. It is due to yesterday's hospital visit and over extending his bodily limits even in this condition. He had a nice rest. In the afternoon shift we joined Maha Puran pr, Gokulapati pr, Bk. Shyam and Myself. Since Maha Puran was there in the shift, I got lot of free time.
Before lunch, Guru Maharaj called Vidvan Gauranga pr and discussed about Caitanya Book; and different topics on that subject. And Guru Maharaj started his lunch.
As Maha Puran pr was feeding Guru Maharaj lunch, dinner etc. I just have go and supervice and help them, whenever they need. I was assisting Vidvan Gauranga Pr in the book project. So I was going up and down. Many interesting things we found in this research works.
And after his lunch I showed Guru Maharaj "The Golden Age" comic book that I made and it got published in His Holiness Radhanath Swami Maharaj yatra. So I got the chance to show him; page by page. And Guru Maharaj gave a comment that, "You have given too many text..." I said, "Vidvan Gauranga pr want to keep the original texts from Caitanya Bhagavata. So we kept as it is." This comic book manifested by his mercy. And it is an offering to him only. I hope that it pleases him and with his blessings we will do more and more services to him.
Today being Ratha-yatra in New Delhi. From morning Guru Maharaj wanted to go for Rath inauguration, but we said, "You are tired and it will too crowd and it will be too traffic, etc." And made him to take rest. But now after lunch Guru Maharaj said, "I want take shower!" We gave shower and I said, "So before lecture we will skip shower and you can directly go and give Live class after you rest." Guru Maharaj replied, "No! No! Now I am going to Ratha-yatra." We all bewildered. When situations are out of control. We call immediately to Maha Varaha pr. And he camr and said, "No Guru Maharaj, your just recovering. Please don't make it down again." But Guru Maharaj was saying, "I want to see Jagannath! I want to pull his chariot." Maha Varaha pr said, "We will take His Darshan in temple." Guru Maharaj said, "He is coming on His chariot. I want to take His Darshan." Finally somehow convinced him and we manage to give him rest. But As usual he didn't sleep; and after half an hour Gokulapati Pr called me and said, "Guru Maharaj calling you!" I went and I asked Guru Maharaj, "Why you are not resting Guru Maharaj? Do you need anything? Please take rest!!!" Then Guru Maharaj said, "I want to send a message to Mayapur for tomorrow morning announcement. As I won't be there for Bhishma Panchaka. I want this message to be conveyed." I said, "We will do it later, now please take rest." But he didn't listen. So, I agreed with him and recorded the messge and sent it to Mayapur and also to everyone. He was chanting, chanting, chanting and finally at 6:30pm he got up and got ready for 8:00pm online class.
In today's class Guru Maharaj explained, "How he reached USA to India." It was really interesting. Many different pastimes, most of them were untold, never ever heard before. And after the class, he did Damodara Arati and Prasanna Gauranga pr sang Damodarastakam. And then Guru Maharaj blessed everyone with his Jagannath stick. And then he distributed Prasadam to every one and went to his room at 10:10pm. Dr. Acyutananda pr entered the room. We telling something that we discussed with Dr. Achyutananda pr. So when he entered at that time. Guru Maharaj said, "Oh! You live for 100 years." Then he said, "If so, I give those all years to you Maharaj!!!" And then Guru Maharaj took his dinner and went to bed at 11:40pm.
I am just writing in my diary a portion of things happened in my presence, in my shift what happened, what interaction that I did with Guru Maharaj, and what I did. Like this every servant having their own interactions and realizations. Whatever they share with me, I try to record. And sometime, they note down. But most of tgr time it is not. If they all keep some notes. It will be a great treasure for themselves. Now I am really able to remember; what Guru Maharaj did one week back, when I read my own personal diaries. Now I feel really bad that, why I didn't do this for all these years. (Personal Diary -Shyama Rasika Dasa)
