25/NOV/2021 - Sri Mayapur dhama, India

(20211125 Sri Mayapur Dhama, India) Today I am here in Lotus Building. Somehow, I lost the habit of writing diary. But now again trying to write, whatever I can for my memory.

Yesterday, I got a call from Srivatsa Syamasundara Prabhu. He asked me a favor. He explained me that, he got an emergency situation that he have to go to his hometown to sign some property papers; as his parents are calling him. So, he said this to Guru Maharaja, and Guru Maharaja said to him to give power of attorney to someone who can sign on behalf of him. But somehow there was no option for it. So, he decided to go. And he said, Guru Maharaja asked me to come - so that his services can be taken care.

So, after his call, I talked with Maha Varaha Prabhu. And he also asked to come as we couldn't get replacement to do this Caitanya Lila class and Zoom visit seva. I quickly winded my services outside and enter lotus building.

Around 2pm I gave my PCR Swab test. And was waiting for the result. The result came at 8pm as negative. So, I immediately went to the lotus rooftop and joined in Guru Maharaja's seva. Guru Maharaja was super tired. As he went to Krishna Nagar - Suraksha Diagnostic center to have tests. As Guru Maharaja reached little late, the Doctor accepted other patients. So Guru Maharaja was waiting for his turn. Somehow, he got late over there, and returned to Mayapur around 3pm. 

Janaki Ramacandra Prabhu said, Maha Varaha Prabhu asked to inform Guru Maharaja that do not take pre-lunch fruits. So when Janaki Ramacandra Prabhu said that to Guru Maharaja, then Guru Maharaja asked him, "Do you have my lunch here?" As they all thought that, Guru Maharaja can come back around 1:30pm. But it got late, so they didn't take the lunch box. Also the road was terrible as they are making new bridges and roads. So eating while.driving is not very much adviced.

3:30pm Guru Maharaja starred his lunch. And ended around 4:30pm. And then took nap and joined in GBC meeting. And at 6;45pm. Servants were preparing  for Guru Maharaja's dinner. But, Guru Maharaja told them, "I am not hungry t take dinner!" So then there was an ungent meeting about the preaching in Seychelles. This island is also one of the GBC zone of Guru Maharaja. So, Bhakti Dhira Damodara Swami Maharaja, who is actively preaching over there and few other devotees had a meeting until 8pm.

At 8pm also Guru Maharaja said, I am not hungry. So Guru Maharaja decided to give his Caitanya Lila class. And, I joined Guru Maharaja at that time. Since there were 31 verses today, as Guru Maharaja went to Krishna Nagar, travellling tiredness, and there no proper rest in the afternoon, two meetings in the evening, and no dinner so far. Considering all these, I said to Guru Maharaja, we will divide this chapter in to two parts. Then in between the class, I asked him should we stop here. Then Guru Maharaja said, we stop wherever the pastime of current topic ends.

Then Guru Maharaja read and lectured for 21 verses. Then we stopped. Today being Wednesday, Guru Maharaja gave darsana to Nepal, North, West and East India devotees. When Guru Maharaja was visiting Nepal brahmacaries, he asked them to collect the contact details of brahmacaries and send it to his email id. After the home visits. We showed Guru Maharaja, the report that was prepared by Rasa Priya Gopika Devi Dasi on the Bhisma Pancaka Feedback results. Then Guru Maharaja said, I am very hungry - and today after so many months night shift devotees got an opportunity to feed dinner prasadam to Guru Maharaja.(Personal Diary - Syama Rasika dasa) 

25/NOV/2021 - Sri Mayapur Dhama, India

(25/NOV/2021) Sri Mayapur Dhama, India: Today in the morning I went to Guru Maharaja's room and he just completed his breakfast and Deva Gauranga Prabhu was giving tablets. I went and touched Guru Maharaja's lotus feet and offered my obeisances. And then Radharamana Sevaka Prabhu was discussing on Srila Prabhupada Memoir book subtitle. There were some suggestions from Vidvan Gauranga Prabhu. But, still we are waiting for Guru Maharaja to give a final title.

Then again when Guru Maharaja was attending his Co-directors meeting, I entered his room, the meeting suppose to end by 11:30am but it got ended around 12:15pm. There was a lost beads of a devotee from Balaramadesh. So, I gave to Guru Maharaja and he chanted and gave the bead. When we reached the ground floor, and Guru Maharaja got into his Golf Cart, Purandara Krsna Prabhu said, there is a Namahatta devotee along with his wife in a wheel chair. As she is having cancer, and so they need a blessings. We asked them to be in one corner where the golf-cart would make a turn. And we stopped for few seconds and the devotee said to Guru Maharaja, and asked, "She have to undergo a heart surgery, can we go ahead? If you say, we will do!" Then, Guru Maharaja stopped and was thinking for a while and said, "Consult with three doctors, and if all the doctors says that you have to undergo this surgery then go for it."

At the same time, the Balaramadesh devotee also happen to be there, and in front of Guru Maharaja we gave the chanted beads to that devotee. At at last Guru Maharaja reached swimming pool around 1pm and returned back at 2pm and had his lunch prasasam.

In the evening schedule there was a 30 mins free slot. So, we gave 15mins for Prataparudra Prana Prabhu and his wife Lilarani Tungavidya Mataji a Zoom darsana with Guru Maharaja, as she is going to have a surgery on December 4th. Again Guru Maharaja said the said, check with three doctors before you take a decision. Guru Maharaja blessed the couple. And immediately we entered into ISKCON Tirupallai temple's 200th day of Srimad-Bhagavata Pravaha program. There Balarama Govinda Prabhu, presented their program and Guru Maharaja spoke on the glories of Srimad-Bhagavatam and blessed all the devotees.

Then Caitanya Lila class started - today oy nine verses, but Guru Maharaja added his comments for each verses. And at last we ended with Zoom darsana to Bangladesh devotees. (Personal Diary – Syama Rasika Dasa)
