(22/NOV/2014) Today Guru Maharaj came out to the hall and sat outside in the sunlight to do his Gayathri Japa. From morning we were waiting for the Caitanya Book. After shower, Guru Maharaj called us. Jaya Radha Krishna prabhu, Bk. Shyam and myself started the book. Today also a wonderful day. Guru Maharaj's deep meditation and his summaries for the purports were really amazing. Guru Maharaj gave one hour time.
Later, regarding the ISKCON Sri Narasimha Giridhari Temple, Guru Maharaj talked with Varada Krishna prabhu over the phone. He was tired, so went to bed and got up at 4pm.
As Janakiram pr left from Delhi today, new devotees joined the shifts. There were some changes made in the shifts by Maha Varaha prabhu. So I went to help in feeding the lunch. But after few minutes, Guru Maharaj asked me to read one mail on which he wanted me to do research. So I handed over my feeding service to Panjachanya Kesava prabhu and got into the given service.
Soon after Guru Maharaj completed his lunch, Maha Varaha Pr came in and said, "Members from World Hindu Congress have come to meet you." Once Guru Maharaj was a vice-president for World Hindu Congress. They all entered Guru Maharaj's room and everyone was on their knees in front of Guru Maharaj, out of great respect to him. The level of appreciation and love that they had for Guru Maharaj was very high like Himalayas. They are from Bali, Indonesia.
Guru Maharaj spoke about Bali Hinduism and they also responded to it. And they did prayers for Guru Maharaj's speedy recovery. One among them was Guru Maharaj's disciple. Before meeting Guru Maharaj they met Maha Varaha prabhu. Prabhu was speaking with them in Malay language. This group was headed by "Ida Pedanda Gede Ketut Sebali Tianyar Arimbawa" - Chairman of Parisada Hindu Dharma Indonesia. He is also an astrologer. He got the time and details of Guru Maharaj's birth and did the calculation and said, "According to Jawa astrological calculation Maharaj is special person and he will live for 108 years." It is such an wonderful, happy news.
Then they explained how they are going to celebrate three days festival for Gita Jayanthi. They all took Guru Maharaja's blessings again and again. Guru Maharaj blessed them with Jagannath, Baladev and Subhadra Devi's stick and also offered each one of them Narasimha dev oil. Then they took a group photo with Guru Maharaj. At last, the leader came near to Guru Maharaj and took Guru Maharaj's hand and holded it tightly and said, "Please bless me! Your blessings are very much needed." And he kept Guru Maharaj's hand on his head and Guru Maharaj blessed him for long time. We recorded audio of this meeting (Subhanga Govinda prabhu helped in recording).
After them, Dr. Ajit an ophthalmologist came to see Guru Maharaj for check up. After the check up, Guru Maharaj took rest, but it was 6pm. He got up at 7:15pm. I went inside and read out few pastimes of Guru Maharaj and Prabhupada in Calcutta. So he said, "I will speak more on this subject in detail."
He got ready and came on time for the online Live class. But suddenly we got power cut in our home. So, we were not able to do the online broadcasting. So Guru Maharaj went and did Arati to Saligram. Then he met Kirtida Dulali Mathaji from Malaysia. She got some offering to Guru Maharaj for his diet. Guru Maharaj spoke to her for few minutes. Then he said, "I will chant my Gayathri. If we get the power back, then I will give the class." By the time he finished his Gayathri, the power came. Guru Maharaj started his class. Today we had a very wonderful session. After the class, Guru Maharaj distributed sweets to everyone and went to his room. Then met Mr. Rao during his dinner, went to bed late as usual. (Personal Diary - Shyama Rasika Dasa)
Hare Krishna. No offence to you. Are every letter (unless it's genuinely crazy) and krishna mercy contest answers are read to Gurumaharaja? We heard that the servants' are filtering. Worst still those who are in the servant's good book, though they write nonsense, are being favoured and the rest no matter how genuine they are and especially if those whom the servant has certain dislike, ends up in the thrash bin. We hope this is not true.
