(09/NOV/2014) Today Guru Maharaj called us for Caitanya Book, and we did for 40 mins. It was very wonderful as usual, and then I started to assist Vidvan Gauranga Prabhu on Gaura Mandala Bhumi Darsan and Srila Prabhupada Letters.
Then in the evening as usual we arranged for the Live class. Today being special. Guru Maharaj suppose to address Puri Parikrama devotees, who were waiting to hear from Guru Maharaj. 6000 Devotees present in Puri Sea Beach. And Guru Maharaj got ready and came to the hall, and started the class. But as soon as he started with in few seconds, here in our house we got power shutdown. And we all got nervous and we were trying to do whatever possible arrangements we can to reach Puri. Then we tried get ready with Skype with Mobile. But there in Puri they were not able to connect. Then Guru Maharaj spoke over phone for 15mins and Madhava Kanta Prabhu did Bengali Translation. And after addressing Puri Parikrama devotees. Guru Maharaj said, he will perform arati to saligram then he will continue Srila Prabhupada Katha. As Guru Maharaj thought, may be we will get electricity by that time. Then Guru Maharaj did arati, and then started the class. As Guru Maharaj was in the mood of Puri. Vidvan Gauranga Prabhu asked question related to that. And Guru Maharaj shared his experiences in Puri Ratha-yatra 1970. It was very wonderful to hear from his lotus mouth. We can actually see that, he is there in Puri and he is visually seeing the Ratha-yatra in front of him and giving a live commentary. Then the question were directed to Kolkata Ratha-yatra. And Guru Maharaj answered how they did Kolkata Ratha-yatra in the initial days from 1971 onward. Until now for past 43 years, Guru Maharaj attending Kolkata Ratha-yatra without fail.
Then Guru Maharaj distributed Prasadam and went back to his room. (Personal diary - Shyama Rasika Dasa)
