(29/JAN/2018 - Chennai) I was in Coimbatore - Ekadasi day. It was 9:30pm went to bed. I was thinking - whether to attend Sri Nityananda Trayodasi here in Coimbatore temple or go to Chennai and celebrate it along with Guru Maharaj. Suddenly decided that let me go to Chennai, and I said to my parents, they were shocked, and said, "Why you decide now? Suddenly." Somehow pacified them and packed my luggage and left to bus station and got a ticket to Chennai. As it was a long weekend holiday, I got one ticket last corner seat. Somehow, left Coimbatore and reached Chennai by 8am.
Then I came to the flat 4705 in Orchid-4 - Embassy Residency - some of the Guru Maharaj's servants are staying here. And opposite to this flat, there is a devotee and in that flat Ramya Vrindavan Mataji got accommodated.
I went to take Guru Maharaj's Darshan - he got up late, as last night he slept at 2:30am. The IV line on his hand got bleeding, and pain. So, night a nurse came and changed it. Then around 5:30am he went to toilet, and his whole sleep got disturbed said morning shift devotees.
Around 11am, I met Guru Maharaj, he asked me about the updates of my visit to Coimbatore etc. After updating him. I asked Guru Maharaj, "Since you are not allowed to go to Temple today, and today is a very special day. So, can we arrange for a Gaura Nitai deity for Abhishek here?" Guru Maharaj said, "If you can arrange it - I will be happy to do Abhishek. Whose Deity you got?" I said, "Ramya Vrindavan Mataji's Gaura Nitai is also staying with her - next to the servants flat." Then Guru Maharaj said, "Okay!"
I just came out, and Ramya Vrindavan Mataji was there, and I told here that we have to make all the arrangements as soon as possible. I also went with her to the flat, to get things ready.
And the lady of that flat - she is also devotee, helped Ramya Vrindavan Mataji to pack things and make all the necessary vessels for Abhishek and arati. At that time, Janakiram Candra Prabhu and his good wife Nanda Priya Nivedita Mataji also arrived with their car, so we all get into the car and reached the hospital. Gaura Nitai and all the paraphernalia were taken inside one by one. As some one may say in the hospital for carrying all these stuffs.
Then, we made the setup - made Gaura Nitai ready for Their bath. These Deities got a name from our beloved Guru Maharaj in 2011 (Vrindavan) - He gave Them a name "Doyal Nitai Sacinandana!" While everything was ready, suddenly doctors came to visit Guru Maharaj. Dr. Acarya Ratna Prabhu told the doctors that we have a festival here. As Guru Maharaj not able to go to temple, he will celebrate here.
After the discussions doctors left the room. And I went and told Guru Maharaj that, "The Lord is ready for Their bathing!" Guru Maharaj asked, "Do I have to remove my T-shirt and out chadar?" He was having lot of trouble to put and remove this T-shirt as there is a IV line. And I said, "Guru Maharaj, please, you no need to do all those, you can do Abhishek." Guru Maharaj somewhat agreed. And Guru Maharaj said, "Deva Gauranga Prabhu will help me doing the Abhishek." And also he asked for his Saligram sila. As today also Varaha Dvadasi. I tried to communicate to Goloka Prabhu, but couldn't reach him.
Then Guru Maharaj came and did Abhishek. After pouring milk, and yogurd. Guru Maharaj called, Ramya Vrindavan Mataji to do Abhishek also. And he asked the servant, and I said, "Guru Maharaj - if you do Abhishek, it is for all the disciples, the Lord will be happy taking bath from your hand." And we touched Guru Maharaj, and Guru Maharaj touched Deva Gauranga Pr, and completed the Abhishek. Due to fire alarm; we couldn't perform arati. Ramya Vrindavan Mataji took the deities and reached her flat to dress Them.
While doing Abhishek, somehow the news spread over, few matajis came to join. So, the room got crowded. Maha Varaha Prabhu was very much disappointed seeing this. Then he left the room. And slowly all the Matajis and devotees also left the room. Anita Gopinath Prabhu brought some caranamrita from temple - for Guru Maharaj.
Then after Abhishek, Guru Maharaj took his lunch. We also went to take our lunch. Then in the evening, I went to help in the afternoon shift.
As I got my ticket to Vaitheeswaran Temple - at 10:30pm. After serving for a while, I took leave from Guru Maharaj. He asked me, "Where are you going?" I explained him that, "I am going there to check Guru Maharaj's Naadi astrology - as a disciples - we want to know, how it can benefit Your health. And then will go to Sivakasi to check on printing." And Guru Maharaj kept his hand on my head and blessed me. And I touched my head on his lotus feet and took his blessings and left the hospital to Chennai temple for Darshan. Then reached railways station to catch my train.
Maha Varaha Prabhu wanted to know about Naadi, so he asked me to go. Let's see... (Personal Diary - Shyama Rasika Dasa)
