(16/NOV/2014) today the day started with Sri Caitanya Book for me. Vidvan Gauranga pr woke me up and said, Guru Maharaj calling for Caitanya Book work. Immediately took quick shower and reached Guru Maharaj. Meanwhile, I set up our audio recording, Vidvan Gauranga pr and Jaya Radha Krishna Pr started reading out from Caitanya Bhagavad. And then Guru Maharaj started to speak verse by verse. It is taking lot of time, than we thought. But it was a detail work. I am just amazed again and agin, while assisting in this Caitanya Book, that is our Guru Maharaj's knowledge in Bengali. And he just speak out the translation of the verses instantly. And without missing any single word. Ad Vidvan Gauranga pt leaving today to Puri, so he was demonstrating to Jaya Radha Krishna pr, as he is going to take up this work from tomorrow.
Then we had different meetings on publication etc. Guru Maharaj went out to do exercise along with Deva Gauranga pr, Ravi Gaura pr, Sakshad-Hari pr, Janakiram pr, Bk. Shyam, Dhanya Nimai pr and came back after 2:30hrs. As Vidvan Gauranga pr was leaving today afyernoon; I didn't go with Guru Maharaj. He explained to Jaya Radha Krishna pt about the services on this Book work.
After lunch Guru Maharaj took rest. During that time Tulasi Ramanan Pr was there in Guru Maharaj's room. Suddenly Guru Maharaj shouted, "Tulasi!" He got frightened and came closer to Guru Maharaj, and Guru Maharaj said, "You have let one mosquito inside the room!" Then he used his mobile torch light and searched for it. Then he said, "No! Guru Maharaj!" "No it is on my body!" Again hr searched and said, "I don't find it Guru Maharaj!" Then Guru Maharaj laughed... Then he understood it was for fun... He shared this with us, how he was a fooled by Guru Maharaj.
Night 9pm Guru Maharaj started his class on Srila Prabhupada pastimes. As we are yet to receive more letters from BHAKTIVEDANTA ARCHIVES, we decided to cover other pastimes of Srila Prabhupada with questions. And some pastimes we noticed from photos. And we made some bunch of questions and started to ask one by one. Guru Maharaj also answered... It was interesting; on live there was 35 viewers. May be it is because we were not able to maintain our timings at 8pm to 9pm, due to Guru Maharaj's health. (Personal Diary - Shyama Rasika Dasa)
