(01/DEC/2014) Today forenoon I got the chance to read out the answers from jpssecrets@gmail.com (Sri Krishna Caitanya Mercy Contest); in that few devotees wrote some of their present activities and different updates. Guru Maharaj heard those and gave small replies to each one of them mercifully. I tried to use my time maximum with Guru Maharaj today by being in morning shift and also in the afternoon shift, even though I was not in any shift. I really wanted to be with Guru Maharaj. I had a chance to be there, so I used it. Guru Maharaj started to discuss many different topics. But, I wanted to discuss some topics, there was no time for that.
Ruci-rangada prabhu showed a video of tiger killing a human in the zoo of Delhi through his iPhone projector. Guru Maharaj saw that video very attentively. Then Guru Maharaj asked Ruci-Rangada prabhu, "Did you ever seen the Tiger that closer?" and started to share his experience of seeing a tiger very closer. Like this there was different discussions on tiger.
Then Radhapati Gopinath prabhu came. Guru Maharaj said, "He is our breaking news man" and asked him, "What is the breaking news for today?". He said, "Ebola killed 6,000 people in West Africa!" and gave the details. Guru Maharaj asked him, "So, is there any medicine to save people?". He said, "No!". Guru Maharaj closed his eyes and said, "Hare Krishna Maha-mantra is the medicine for this age. We should make them chant; and they will do it." Guru Maharaj was very serious. Then he started his lunch. Today the Guwahati Couple got the chance to serve prasadam to Guru Maharaj. Mathaji served the prasadam from the containers into Guru Maharaj's plate and her husband was catching the bowl to make sure that no grains fall down while Guru Maharaj is taking his lunch. Haridas Caitanya prabhu was feeding Guru Maharaj. I went to chant my rounds. And at 5:10pm, Guru Maharaj got ready to go to the Hospital. We were all packing different things. Guru Maharaj came out and offered prayers to Saligram Silas. And then got into the car and he gave his hand to everyone. Everyone touched him. Then he left to the Hospital. Madhava Kanta prabhu & Radhapati Gopinath prabhu left early to make the setup for Guru Maharaj in the Hospital.
As I was not in the shift, I stayed back. But I got the chance to go to the hospital as they needed some things from home. And also Guru Maharaj's dinner needs to be taken. I thought, I will use the chance and go to the Hospital. But Golokeswara Govinda prabhu, Rama Caitanya prabhu and Acintya Caitanya prabhu were ready to go. They took it. As the Chief Doctor didn't want to see so many devotees there, we honored him; and it is also for our Guru Maharaj. So I stayed back again in the house. But at 8:30pm, Maha Varaha prabhu called me and asked me to stay in the Hospital overnight, so that he can take some rest; and in the morning hours he can be active working with the doctors, etc. Golokeswara Govinda prabhu and Rama Caitanya prabhu were on night shift. Just I have to answer nurses and if anything needed I have to talk with them and convey what Guru Maharaj was asking to them.
Madhava Kanta prabhu arranged for the blood donors, as Guru Maharaj asked specifically that, "only devotee's blood I will accept". Even though Guru Maharaj's blood group is commonly available, Madhava Kanta prabhu called devotees to give donation and Radhapati Gopinath prabhu was assisting to collect those and interacting with the Hospital staffs, etc. And finally, I am here in the Hospital; when I open the door, Guru Maharaj called me inside. But Golokeswara Govinda prabhu said, "No!". If I go, then Guru Maharaj may start to speak something and his rest may get more delayed. So I didn’t enter the room. But Guru Maharaj didn't get sleep. Somehow, I was there inside for some assistance. Immediately Guru Maharaj said, "Okay! Lord Caitanya…" Then I got my recorder and recorded the question for Sri Krishna Caitanya Mercy Contest. And then Guru Maharaj said, I want to give one message for Gita Jayanthi. So, I did the recording and posted the Gita Jayathi Message immediately into different whatsapp groups. Later nurses came and said that Guru Maharaj's blood sample got spoiled or the machine is not accepting it. They wanted to take the blood again. So, Guru Maharaj gave again 2ml. Guru Maharaj said, "Before taking the blood, everyone chant, Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare." Then they took the blood. Guru Maharaj said, "Run, go and test it immediately…" And after 1 hour they said, that blood was okay and in another one hour time, we will get the report. And finally, Guru Maharaj slept. I am awake, typing my diaries. In between Guru Maharaj got up to drink some water. We gave him water, but he didn’t drink it. Rather he said, "Never forget Krishna!". We said, "Please sip in Guru Maharaj!". He said, "Chant!". We chanted "Hare Krishna!". Then he chanted Pancha-tattva Mantra and then Hare Krishna Maha-mantra then took 50ml water and it was 2am. I will be awake till 6am. Once the morning shift devotees reach the Hospital, we will go back. (Personal Diary - Shyama Rasika Dasa)
