Hare Krishna
Jay Srila Guru Dev
Happy KC New Year to everyone
Today morning around 10.30 I went to GMs room to pay my obeisances. Prior to visiting the hospital Guru Maharaj visits the temple ,just a day before today happens to be one such a day.
I was waiting with Camera to go with GM, GM came out from the room around 11.30 . we reached the ISKCON Delhi temple at 12.20pm. Devotees were waiting to receive GM and on his arrival they welcomed him with nice Kirtan . It was new year,so the temple was packed.The devotees arranged a barigurd so that everyone could have smooth darshan, the crowd was certainly managed well. Guru Maharaj went to Sri Gaura Nitai Altar H.H.Gopal Krishna Gowswami Maharaj was doing Arati and Guru Maharaj offered a lamp to Gaura Nitai as well after which he offered lamps to Sri Narasinga Dev ,Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi finally Sri Sita Ram Laxman Hanuman. Guru Maharaj never skips to offer his respects to Srila Prabhupada and offer him prayers, but because the temple was so crowded we were not able to go to Srila Prabhupada alter.
GM came out and was waiting near the lift for Gopal Krishna Maharaj. But as usual in the short wait period few devotees came to see GM and Guru Maharaj blessed them.When Gopal Krishna Maharaj came they both hugged each other and Gopal Krishna Maharaj was ensuring about GM's health. It is always so heart warming to see these loving exchanges. These great personalities show us by example about dealings amongst Vaiahnavas.
Guru Maharaj said "Delhi is first position in Book Marathon and I also distributed books for you Maharaj." Then GKG Maharaja continued "Delhi is No 1 in December Marathon but Sri Mayapur is No 1 in whole year because they have dedicated sankirtan devotees". Guru Maharaj said" Maharaj, your disciples are taking care of me so nicely" For which Maharaj replied" Delhi is your second Home! It always amazes me as to how Guru Maharaj never fails to express his gratitude. After the nice meeting with HH.GKG Maharaj we left the temple, and reached home around 2.30pm we all got down but GM was doing His Gayatri.
After that Guru Maharaj came in to the house. 3 devotees were waiting to see Guru Maharaj, so Guru dev spoke to them.One of the mataji's from that group took aspiring from Guru dev.Guru Maharaj blessed them then went inside the room for lunch. I started serving lunch and Radhapathi pr started telling Breaking News. After that Danyanimai pr read some mails, Guru Maharaj recorded some replies and finally at 4.45pm went to bed for rest. then I came down Mahavaraha told to call Gauranga Simha pr (Mayapur) and connect him to GM as soon as Gm wakes up. Around 6.15pm we woke Guru Maharaj. I cleaned His eye and we helped Him get down. Then I connected to Gauranga Simha pr. Guru Maharaj was asking about the residents of Mayapur and what kind of Medical facilities they need like this their conversation went on for over 30 mins. meanwhile I started setting up the Broadcast for Srila Prabhupada Katha class since Shyama Rasika pr left to Sri Mayapur. After the class GM distributed ekadasi sweets then He met some devotees from Ajmir around 10.20pm GM went to His room and started taking dinner around 11.45pm GM went to bed HG. Jayaradhay pr started reading Sri Brihad Bhagavatamrta - By Jr
(Shyama Rasika Dasa: Today morning I got Guru Maharaj's blessings and left from Delhi to Mayapur.)
