9/MAY/2020 - Sri Mayapur, India

(9/MAY/2020 - Sri Mayapur, India) Today I joined in Guru Maharaja's service by Covid-19 meeting at 5:30pm. In today's meeting Guru Maharaja discussed a topic, which made me very much astonished.  He asked Aloy Govinda Prabhu, "Now Muslims are observing their Ramadan fast, so there may some poor Muslims, so for their iftar breaking, can we give some kitchidi? They can take the kitchidi and keep it in the afternoon and eat during iftar." Guru Maharaja is not seeing they are Muslims or Hindu, no differentiation, he was just thinking how to keep the Navadvipa Mandala dhama-vasis with no hunger.

Then the team said, "The wealthy Muslims sending the iftar to all the poor Muslims. So we no need to give them or spend money in giving them food."

Guru Maharaja said, "Then we give them Gur, cida, fruits. Because when we give them grains, they might cook non-vegetarian. But if we give them fruits and Gur and Cida (offered) then they will eat at least some Krishna-prasadam." Aloy Govinda Prabhu said enthusiastically that, "We will do it!"

Guru Maharaja's mood and vision was very different and every single ideas and thought are always out of the box. So, after this meeting Guru Maharaja gave a wonderful class on Lord Gauranga's Balarama Meditation. 

Then after class, I asked Guru Maharaja about Zoom session for Namahatta, Bangladesh, Gita Course, Chatra Samaj, etc. And Guru Maharaja said, "For Namahatta Mala Cakra Senapati, Maha Cakra Senapati, Cakra Senapati lever devotees district wise will meet him as participants, and rest will watch online. And for Bangladesh there are five divisions, so each one will get one day - 300 families can participate, rest will be on Facebook live. And he said, "I want to meet all of them during morning sessions."

Sabta Hari Prabhu making training sessions for 120 ISKCON leaders on Digital preaching. So, he sent his report, and I played that audio message to Guru Maharaja. And Guru Maharaja thanked him. And tonight Guru Maharaja will be having a zoom session with Secunderabad devotees. (Personal Diary - Syama Rasika dasa)
