(08/NOV/2014) Today after my morning chanting I slept. And Guru Maharaj left to ILBS Hospital for his regular weekly check up. I didn't see his Darshan. Then afternoon shift devotees Ruci-Rangata Pr, Janakiram pr, and Tulasi Ramanan Pr were ready to go to Hospital carrying Guru Maharaj lunch. And Maha Varaha pr asked them to bring Vidvan Gauranga pr and myself to work with Guru Maharaj on Caitanya Book. But I didn't join them. I just asked Vidvan Gauranga Pr to go and I had some work to do for Archives. As per the discussion yesterday Guru Maharaj will come back at 6pm.
Vidvan Gauranga pr returned back from the Hospital and said, Guru Maharaj gave 45mins time for Caitanya Book. And I called Janakiram pr, he said, "Guru Maharaj may come back after two hours."
Madhava Kanta pr went for shopping and got a sound system for Guru Maharaj's evening class. So I was fixing it and keeping it ready for live; expecting Guru Maharaj. And it got delayed. And I got the information that another one hour. So, I announced that the class is cancelled for today. Then Acintya Caitanya pr reached back yo Delhi from Vrindavan along with Advaita Pran pr and his parents. They did interview with His Grace Brahmananda Pr and His Grace Garga Muni Pr in Vrindavan. Guru Maharaj also had some questions to ask them. Which may help him to reconfirm his memory.
Vidvan Gauranga Pr also sent list of questions to them from Srila Prabhupada letters. As they were too heavy with Acintya Caitanya pr asking for specific questions. Guru Maharaj laughed when he heard that Acintya Caitanya pr got a sauce from Brahmananda prabhu (ACBSP). And said, "After long time he is getting a sauce."
Then he gave his questions; and said specifically. "My thanks to Brahmananda pr for giving a sauce to my disciple Acintya Caitanya dasa." Then he had few questions to Garga Muni pr about the early days in Grass Hut in Mayapur. And he aksed , "Do you remember Kamaduk 'the cow' which was giving milk, even though she didn't had any delivery before." Guru Maharaj said, "That cow loved Garga Muni Prabhu very much. He also." Like this few questions Guru Maharaj had... And Guru Maharaj said, "They are my seniors."
Anyhow, at last Guru Maharaj reached back to house at 10pm from the hospital. He was grave. Golokeshwara Govinda pr and myself went to bring Guru Maharaj from Car. And as soon as he entered inside, he first offered his pranams to salagrams. And did arati to them. Soon after we were trying to push the wheel chair towards his room as he has to take his dinner... Guru Maharaj immediately put a break. And turned towards Advaita Prana pr and his parents. He said, "Guru Maharaj I am going back to Detroit, USA tomorrow early morning." And seeing his parents Guru Maharaj said, "They seems familier to me." They replied, "we met you in Bangalore in 2007." Then Guru Maharaj was giving tips to Advaita Pran pr on how to get miles on travelling. And how you can use it. Which airlines is giving best miles. Like this so many mind blowing informations... It was amazing; even at that time; not considering his tiredness or anything. Guru Maharaj just want to care for his disciples. Then he saw Sudevi Rani Mathaji from Shyamdesh, who got some things for Guru Maharaj as he asked for it. And Guru Maharaj spoke few words with her. And distributed coockies to everyone. And he asked Advaita pran pr, "you are going to have a long travel, you may need lot of prasadam." Then he took some 6 to 7 cookies and gave him. And we slowly were moving the wheel chair to his room. He again put a break. Guru Maharaj asked Madhava Kanta pr, "I saw a Muslie packet." He said, "No! Guru Maharaj!" Then Guru Maharaj asked to take the wheel chair little back. And he pointed a packet and said, "What is that?" Then Madhava Kanta pr said, "Oh! That is muslie, but it is for 'Servants', it contains sugar. Your without sugar is there in the kitchen." Guru Maharaj took that packet on his hand, and holding it to his heart said, "I am the Servant of Servant!"
And at last we somehow pushed the wheel chair inside Guru Maharaj room and I got th opportunity to feed his dinner Prasadam. After feeding Prasadam, I took leave and went to bed. Ruci Rangata pr, Golokeshwara Govinda Pr, Radhapati Gopinath pr gave rest to Guru Maharaj. (Personal Diary - Shyama Rasika Dasa)
