19/FEB/2022 - Chennai, India

(19/FEB/2022 - Chennai, India) This morning Guru Maharaja woke up to take his medicine, and he was joking and playing with us all. As morning shift devotees came Guru Maharaja greeted them one by one by calling out their names. And we took leave from our shift.

Evening we came at 6:30pm to arrange for the evening class. And Guru Maharaja was taking his dinner, and he was very energetic. And welcomed us. After taking his dinner, he went inside his room to refresh, and meanwhile we were arranging for the class. And then, Guru Maharaja vomited whatever he ate, and immediately his body became too tired. And we said, it is better to cancel the class and take rest. But, Guru Maharaja took some time relaxing and said he will come.

To our astonishment, he came to the hall, and started to sing the mangalacarana. But, after sometime, he started to repeat the Panca-tattva mantra again and again, and again Hare Krishna maha-mantra. Then we thought something wrong. And Dr. Hari Guru Prabhu asked Guru Maharaja, but Guru Maharaja wanted to continue the class. But again he started from Panca-tattva mantra. So we took up the mic and said we will end here. But, Guru Maharaja said, no! I will answer two questions. 

Then he gave answer to three questions and came back his room and took his milk and went to bed. Then Guru Maharaja asked for the first class flights from middle east to USA. And Maha Varaha Prabhu was showing him all different flights and its facilities.

Dr. Hari Guru Prabhu, cleaned and did the dressing again. But, it was painful. Then after that, I said to Guru Maharaja, "You said, few times that, when you were ill - you listen yo Prabhupada and it is like a painkiller for you. So shall we play some Prabhupada lecture?" Then Guru Maharaja gave like a Okay signal. Then we played 1975 April 5, Caitanya-caritamrta class, and Guru Maharaja was listening to it for 20mins and fell a sleep.

This is a recovery time, and now Guru Maharaja is almost like house arrest. And somehow, he wanted to overcome this. And travel and preach, wants to go back to Mayapur. Praying to Lord Narasimhadeva to give all strength to cross over this situation. (Syama Rasika dasa - Personal Diary)
