7/SEP/2017 - Shyamdesh

(7/SEP/2017 - Shyamdesh) I and Haridas Caitanya Prabhu left Sri Mayapur Dham on 6th afternoon and took our flight at 9pm to Jaipur then at 5am to Shyamdesh. We reached here around 6:30am. Parama Tattva Prabhu and Kirtana Mataji came to pick up us. We reached Sudevi Mataji's home. And We heard that Guru Maharaj left Kuala Lumpur and will be reaching this evening here. Once Guru Maharaj land here - he will go to Ananta Ananda Desh Ratha-Yatra and we both have to join with him.

By afternoon a message came to Sudevi Mataji from Maha Varaha Prabhu that Guru Maharaj will come and once he land - according to his health condition we will decide whether he can travel to Ananta Ananda Desh, otherwise keep your home ready for Guru Maharaj's to stay. She went to her office that day. So, she started to clean her house and rented a Hospital bed etc. And her daughter Kirtana Mataji went for shopping and got all the necessary items for Guru Maharaj. Then Sudhangi Radha Mataji and Sudevi Mataji they prepared a light dinner for Guru Maharaj.

Then we left 6:30pm and reached Airport. It is really different kind of welcoming that I am experiencing first time. Around 10+ devotees we assembled there. Yatra Leader Radha Bhava Gaura Prabhu etc. We received a message that Guru Maharaj landed and will come out in few mins. And from Maha Varaha Prabhu a message to came to Sudevi Mataji that Guru Maharaj will stay in your home today and will travel to Ananta Ananda Desh tomorrow morning. But, the devotees in Ananta Ananda Desh was very upset that Guru Maharaj is not coming now to their place and we are missing our service to Guru Maharaj, etc. It was 8:30pm Guru Maharaj came out - then we came to know that Maha Varaha Pr and Prasanna Gauranga pr were stopped in immigration and they were asking them questions - why they went to Doha? What is the purposes,etc. So it took their 1 hr. So Guru Maharaj was not able to come out.

Okay! What is the different kind of experience in welcoming Guru Maharaj here. Normally we welcome Guru Maharaj by offering Garland, dandavats (even in Airports), play Mridangam Kartal, kirtan, ulu-dvani, etc. Here less devotees, and no one can pay obeisances, no kirtan nothing, Guru Maharaj came out and just directly went to the car. Then Ananta Ananda Desh devotees were trying to convince Maha Varaha pr - that Guru Maharaj can drive 2 hrs and go to Ananta Ananda Desh we have made all the arrangements for Guru Maharaj. But, Guru Maharaj said, I want to take rest as I am travelling from morning, and transit in Singapore, then 4 hrs time zone different for Malaysia and Shyamdesh. Then finally it was decide that Guru Maharaj will stay in Sudevi Mataji's home in Shyamdesh. Guru Maharaj won't meet any devotees. He will just go and rest, said Maha Varaha Prabhu.

Then we started to along with Guru Maharaj. Guru Maharaj took his dinner on the way to His residence. When Guru Maharaj saw me, he asked, "What made you come here?" I said, "Archives! As Maha Varaha Pr asked me to come and generate some fund for Archives and explain about its activities and get some donation for Archives." Guru Maharaj said, "That's sounds great!" Then we reached home by 30mins. Meanwhile Guru Maharaj was explaining about, how the doctors drained 11 litres of Fluid from his stomach and they left 4litres in his abdomen. Because by doing that continuously, kidney and other organs may get affected - mainly kidney. But, even, after getting discharged from Hospital, within 12 hrs he started to come and see his disciples and siksa-disciples in Shyamdesh.

Then Guru Maharaj came home and entered the flat and he was very tired. Then he asked for a helbal tea. The devotees from Ananta Ananda Desh came to take blessings from Guru Maharaj with lot of disappointment that Guru Maharaj didn't come able to come to their place. Their leader was very much upset, so they connect that leader over phone to Guru Maharaj, and Guru Maharaj said, "If I would have been a young, without health issues, I would have come over there. And I just came out from the hospital, and four hours time different between Malaysia and Shyamdesh. So I am very tired travelling almost 10 to 12 hours." So, Guru Maharaj said all these facts to make understand that, this is the reason that I am not able to come. But still the leader was very upset. Soon after that Guru Maharaj went to bed and slept. Haridas Caitanya Prabhu and Aticandra Prabhu from Shyamdesh along with one more devotee, joined the night shift to assist Guru Maharaj. (Personal Diary - Shyama Rasika Das)
