(20/FEB/2022 - Chennai, India) Today morning Guru Maharaja woke up and he was joking and playing with us, especially with Sarva Mangala Prabhu. Janaki Ramacandra Prabhu was there. Sarva Mangala Krishna Nama Prabhu said, "One second Guru Maharaja!" So Guru Maharaja got that word, and he was telling for everything "one second!" One second water! One second tablet! Like that he was making fun. And he said, "In Bangladesh one second means, 30mins!"
And then, he asked, "Why I became tired last night?" We said, "You vomited after dinner, so you became tired!" Then he asked, "What I ate to vomit?" Sarva Mangala Krishna Nama Prabhu read out what Guru Maharaja ate last night. But, Guru Maharaja didn't remember. He was too tired last night, so couldn't remember. We took leave from our shift.
Today Guru Maharaja gave initiation to one devotee from Damodaradesa. He is one of a successful businessman in Damodaradesh. He decided to take diksa from Guru Maharaja, he follows 16 rounds of chanting, regulative principles. He and Srivallabha Prabhu arrived to Chennai. His name was Mahesh Adwani. There was an name selection Mahesa Govinda dasa. But, Guru Maharaja remembered the pastime of Siva Bhakta, who sings in Navadvipa and Lord Gauranga claimb up on his shoulder, like a Nandi and enacted in the mood of Lord Siva. So, Guru Maharaja gave the name "Mahesa Gaura Govinda dasa". He was very happy to hear his spiritual name. These were narrated by Maha Varaha Prabhu.
In this evening we discussed and decided that better we cancel the evening class, because it is very much tiring Guru Maharaja. Maha Varaha Prabhu also said, " Better we stop for now!" So, I decided to stay back until 9pm in servant flat. Then join directly for night shift. But, still I had a doubt that, Guru Maharaja might ask for a class. So, I called up Tarun Gaura Prabhu and asked him to inform Guru Maharaja that, we cancel the class due to your tiredness and for rest. If Guru Maharaja say anything - please let me know. And Guru Maharaja was in the meeting with Doctors' forum. Regarding, tomorrow's visit to Rela Institute to remove the draining tube in his abdomen. And at last decided that tomorrow they won't go to the hospital.
And around 7:15pm Tarun Gaura Prabhu asked Guru Maharaja about the class. And Guru Maharaja asked me to come now. "I was tired yesterday, but today I got energy. So, I will give class. Come now!" Wow! So immediately we started and reached Guru Maharaja's residence. And, when I reached Guru Maharaja, he was discussing with Dr. Hari Guru Prabhu, and there was a discussion about medicine, etc. And Guru Maharaja said, "It is all speculation!" And everyone was laughing. Then Guru Maharaja saw me and said, "Yes! I am ready for my class! I was waiting for you!"
Then it was very nice session. And when he heard Vrajesvara Gaura Prabhu's announcement, immediately Guru Maharaja was happy to hear him. Then he blessed all the devotees, and we showed some devotees randomly. After the class, Guru Maharaja was watching Wion News Channel about Russia-Uktaine issue. Then, Dr. Hari Guru Prabhu came to do dressing, and also said, we can remove the tube by ourselves. But, Guru Maharaja was not ready for it. So, tomorrow morning they will do this procedure of removing the tube.
I played Srila Prabhupada's class given on April 6, 1975 in Mayapur. Guru Maharaja was listening to the complete class and said, "Where is the difficulty to make yourself perfect in Krishna consciousness? You are all young people!" And he was repeating the same what Srila Prabhupada said. And we checked his BP, it was low. Then we called Doctor. Dr. Hari Guru Prabhu entered the room and check the BP again. And decider to give some lemon water. Sarva Mangala Krishna Nama Prabhu made a lemon water and mixed salt. Guru Maharaja drank a sip, and said it is too salty! Then he asked Sarva Mangala Prabhu drink the remaining. And again he went to make a lemon water without salt. Then Guru Maharaja said, "Lemon water seem like Merina beach water." And Janaki Ramacandra Prabhu said, beach is just behind couple of Kilometers. And Guru Maharaja said, "This beach is Karunanidhi's Caranamrta!" Everyone started to laugh. I said, "We don't know, in which body he is now!" And Janaki Ramacandra Prabhu said, "He must be in hell, will take millions of years to come out from hell."
I told Guru Maharaja, "Maha Varaha Pr and Ajita Gopinatha Prabhu went to Nitya Kalyana Perumal temple with Mahesa Gaura Govinda Prabhu. And we heard in your lecture that, this temple is not recommended for brahmacaris!!!" And everyone was laughing. And Guru Maharaja also was laughing. Then Lemon water came, and Sarva Mangala Pr gave it to Guru Maharaja, it was so savour. And he took a sip and said, it is all for you, Sarva Mangala Prabhu. Then, Guru Maharaja's BP came to normal. And went to bed.
Just before class, Venudhari Kanhaiya Prabhu said to Gur Maharaja about a discussion in SIDC conference that, one lady who attended the online Bhakti-sastri course, but she didn't leave eating non-veg. Then, she said, it seems. In Gita where Lord Krishna says - you should not eat non-veg. And there are lot of discussion in this matter. Then Guru Maharaja said the same thing to us and asked us, where in Bhagavad-gita it is said? And like this he was mimicking that lady. Where it is said in Gita? And was joking like this and laughing. We need to make them not only sastri, we need to make them Bhakti-sastri. So, we were all happy, seeing Guru Maharaja playing with us, joking with us, discussing with us. As last night, he was super tired and very much fragile. Today he is healthier.
During class, he also said that today is 50th anniversary of Srila Prabhupada's visit to Vishakhapatnam. And there was a celebration last week in Chennai for Srila Prabhupada 50 in Chennai. But, Guru Maharaja said, they can celebrate this whole year as 50th year. And finally at 11:45pm Guru Maharaja slept. (Syama Rasika dasa - Personal Diary)
