Hare Krishna. My name is Ajita Gopinath Das. So we came to Chennai in 1996. And at that time the temple was in T Nagar. And I didn't know about Guru Maharaj, who Guru Maharaj is and what Guru Maharaj is. So just we were every means once in a month or twice in a month we used to go and for just giving some donations there to the temple. And then in 1998, Krishna's mercy guru Maharaj was there. And on that day why we went there temple the same date we got the report that she got pregnant. She got pregnant my second son. She conceived my second son. And Krishna's mercy Guru Maharaj was there. And I didn't know about Guru Maharaj. So Darapati Prabhu told that it's a good news that I will introduce you to Guru Maharaj. But Guru Maharaj was very busy and lot of devotees were waiting outside in his room in T. Nagar, that is in T. Nagar. And she was not feeling well. So I told Prabhu we will come next time, no problem. So he told no, no, Guru Maharaj is there next time means next day he will be going to leave to some other place. So he is very means very rarely. He is available only once in a year. He used to come to Chennai. Just why? Why you are losing it. Then again she was very much in a means she was not well. So I told okay, no problem. Guru Maharaj. I didn't know about Guru Maharaj that which personality he is talking about Darabadevrabhu. But somehow he managed it. Crowd gets settled out. And then Guru Maharaj called and then he introduced us. Then he told you pay obeisances. I didn't do that. We have to pay. Yeah, we are meeting some sannyasis. So our Prampara means that we are paying this humble obeisance like Namaskar. We are doing it. Then when he paid obeisances, I also paid the obeisances. My wife paid obeisances. And then he introduced us that he so and so he is giving regularly donations and all these things. And then he told about that today in the news has come that she is pregnant. And then Guru Marwa. And then he immediately gave Narasimha oil. And then right into her eyes. Guru Maharaj has looked and blessed her very nicely. So that was a very nice experience. Very lovingly he met us and then he blessed us. And he gave very good time to us. And he asked me, what are you doing it? Where are you staying? What are you doing it? He Talked to us. And after that we came after getting the blessings, we came out some nice experience was there. A shocking experience was there. But we didn't know what personality he is to whom we have met it. We did not realize that at that time. So again that in 2002, Darapati Prabhu organized one trip to. That was my first meeting with Guru maharaj. Personal meeting, one to one meeting and his blessings. And in 2002 he organized one trip to Mayapur. And he asked us, can you come? So at that time my son, to whom when he was in the womb of his mother Guru Maharaj blessed at that time he was two years old. So in 2002, I am talking about. So okay, we told, okay, we will come along with you. So we didn't know about Mayapur. Then he told it's a spiritual city. And the Guru Maharaj it's very nice to be there. So then we were there. And then that happened to be Guru Maharaj Vyas Puja. We didn't know about Vyas Puja and all these things. And then we were there for three, four days. Three, four days. And we attend all the programs. And we didn't know about the philosophy. And that too in English. We don't know English. And that to an ascent of American ascent of Guru Maharaj. But only three words I still remember that is still, you know, echoing in my ear that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Nithyanand Prabhu, Gauranga Nithyananda, Gaura Nithyananda. And then one more that they are very merciful. Merciful. Repeatedly it was coming from Guru Maharaj mouth that they are the Supreme Lord merciful. These means I can able to understand these three words that Gauranga and we were very confused that they are the now we have introduced to a new Lord. Who are they? Never heard about it. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Nithyanand Prabhu. So we forgot, you know. And so it was the first introduction to the Supreme Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Nithyanand Prabhu by Guru Maharaj to us. Actually in one sense. Otherwise we don't know about that they are the Supreme Lord. They are. And they are very merciful. So it was also a very nice experience. We met Guru Maharaj there and then we have a photograph. But nowadays, if you see that lot of rush is there. At that time it was not so rush. Like medium rush was there, rush was there. But it was nice. And we came able to meet Guru Maharaj and we got his blessings. And that was also a very, very nice experience. Guru Maharaj and he was passing through and then we paid our census and then he gave his blessings. And he hugged Dhruva. Yeah, he hugged Dhruva. He was very naughty and he hugged Dhruva. And that was a very nice experience. So that was the second time when we met Guru Maharaj. And again, then again we went to in 2003. 2003 or 4, I think, for his Vyas Puja. And this time we went of our own that Vyas Puja is there. And with one of the devotee, Bengali devotee, Tirthraj Prabhu, who guided us in this Krishna consciousness. And so and that time Tirthraj Prabhu, that mercy of Krishna and Guru Maharaj, that all the boats were left. So Guru Maharaj take us to a visit, I think across the Ganges. And then Guru Maharaj was going here. And then he saw what happened. Then he was Bengali devotees. He knows lot of Bengali devotees. So Krishna's mercy that across the Ganges we were on the same boat with Guru Maharaj again same boat. And the groom. Then Daresh Parabu, I think, or one of the servants. Then he told, what are you doing? You are doing nothing. You just massage Guru Maharaj lotus feet. So he gave us, he engaged us in service. And Guru Maharaj was reading in Bengali some Chaitanya Charitha Mehta. He was reading in Bengali. He was completely absorbed in that. And we were massaging lotus feet one side one like one devotee was massaging and one side I was massaging in. Then after completing the yatra that across the Guru Maharaj again blessed us. He talked to us. And that was really changing that. At that time we were just starting our devotional life. We came to just started knowing that who is Guru Maharaj, what Krishna consciousness is. And then we became little bit with that blessings actually then became little more serious. And then we started our 16 rounds and all these things in 2003 or four Karthik, first day, then three, I think we started our 16 rounds. So this is Krishna's Guru Maharaj. Mercy. How we met Guru Maharaj and his blessings changed our life. Nice experience. And then first experience when she was conceived and Krishna has arranged Guru Maharaj and Guru Maharaj blessed NT Nagar. That was a very nice experience. She got the dream. She got the dream that Guru Maharaj has come and he was knocking the door that I have come. Open the door, I have come. And then after two days, Guru Maharaj Next day or after two days that he got discharged from the hospital. And then he came. That is, after the transplantation. And at that time it was very, very still. He was in the ICU and the trachostomy was there. Lot of discussion was going on between the doctors how it has to be done. And his kidney function test was also not okay. So suddenly it has happened that he is. He was means his parameters becoming alright. And then finally he got discharged from the hospital. 45 days he was there in the hospital ICU. 45 days, 15 days he was there in Stanley Hospital. And then 15 days he was there in Global Hospital. And 15 days he was there in the Apollo Hospital ICU. All the time he was in the ICU. ICU. It was a very small. And this one, I will tell you one. This very. My most interesting. This one which tells what Guru Maharaj is. He always thinks about the others. He never thinks about himself. He never thinks about himself. And then this is in the Apollo Hospital. When Guru Maharaj was there in the Apollo Hospital icu. So Mahavara Prabhu took me. Okay, you come from the window, you can have the Darshan. Because nobody was allowed inside. So Mahavra Prabhu, very mercifully he took me one day to the Apollo Hospital. We used to go there. We used to go to the hospital. And we used to sit there in the lobby. And Shammadu Sudhan, at that time, he was the translator. So he and the servants, Guru Maharaj's servant in the shift. They were only allowed to go to the ICU unit. And we. And when he was in Apollo. So in Apollo, you can see Guru Maharaj from the just there is a hole. And then they put it mirror. And you can see through that mirror that Guru Mahara Darshan, you can have it. So Mahavra Prabhu told that in Apollo you can have the Darshan come. So then he took. And then we, me, myself and Mahavara Prabhu, we just dress ourselves. We went to the above floors and to have the darshan of Guru Maharaj. And then when I was having the darshan. So luckily Guru Maharaj saw somebody has come. So then I had darshan. And then I paid my obeisances there. And then I came back and I was very hungry. And I purchased some biscuit and I was eating it. But then when it came, so everybody was searching me that what happened. So then the devotees, they came. That Guru Maharaj, you came. That Guru Maharaj is asking about you. You come, he's calling you. In the IC unit. So Mahavara Prabhu told, okay, you go, he's calling you. Just talk to him. What happened? See it. So I went. I fully dressed in ICU cloths and all this thing. I went inside and immediately he hold my hand. And he started. He was. Tears were flowing in his eyes. And he told I had a dream. I had a dream. Luckily Shyam Madhusuddhan was there for translating. Because otherwise tracheastomy was there. It is difficult what he is saying. And otherwise I missed that pastime. So luckily Shyam Madhusuddhan was there and he can able to just. Guru Maharaj was opening the mouth. He can able to understand what Guru Maharaj wants to say. So he told that I had a dream that your neighbors are chastising you. Your neighbors. Are you okay? So I called you when you were in Global Hospital with Bhakti Charu Maharaj. But you didn't come to see me. I told Guru Maharaj didn't allow me to go inside because of infection chances. So why to take the risk? So then he told that are you okay? Your family is okay. So I am giving you lot of trouble. So I started crying that Guru Maharaj no. And I was also just massaging his hands. And I told Guru Maharaj, no, no. You are already. You are suffering a lot. And why you have to give me a trouble? You never give us a trouble. And it's our opportunity. What karma? We have done it, Sukriti. We have done it. That out of your costless mercy you have given us a chance to serve. So never think that earlier also Guru Maharaj told me this many times to me and my family that I am troubling you. I am troubling you. So at that time he was saying that he was and water coming out from his. And it was really very, you know, heart touching movement for us. Then I told, no, Guru Maharaj, you are already very suffering. Why you are thinking like that? You are giving troubling us. No, no, no, no. I am not troubling. Prabhupada has suffered more than this. He is always in a consciousness of Prabhupada and Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The moment you just glorify Guru Maharaj, he never takes the glorification. He passed it on to his Guru Prabhupada. He told, no, I am suffering nothing. Prabhupada suffered much more than that. And these are the same words he told to me. And he was suffering. He was battling for his life. And he told no, no, no, no. Prabhupada suffered more than this. He is always taking care. Means he was struggling in his life and he was thinking of me. Insignificant person. He was thinking about it that he must be happy. He is okay. He is ok. Then in order to change something, you know that mood. Then I ask Guru Maharaj which color you like in your room. We have to do the room means you are coming. So you will come soon to the house. So you have an option. This Vastu person has given the option of green, bluish and oceanic. Oceanic blue. He told whatever you like. Then again he told that he wants to say something that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu wears yellow. Earlier also he has given this answer and Nithyanand Prabhu used to wear blue. So we put that oceanic blue according to Vaastu which makes Guru Maharaj to be recovered. It will help according to the Vaastu which color is suitable to Guru Maharaj in this room so that he will recover very fast. So at that time also he was thinking of me in icu. He was thinking of some other insignificant servant. So that is Guru Maharaj. Actually he is always on a spiritual platform. You know that one good quality of Guru Maharaj. 1 Spiritual Guru Maharaj has unlimited spiritual quality. He is full of. He is a spiritual personality. Guru Maharaj. But one thing you know, all devotees used to appreciate that his memory is very good. His memory is very good. He never forgets why it is so. I have realized that during that one year. I have realized that why it is so, why it is happening. So you know if on a material platform like us, we all natural that we meet someone, what we can get it from the other person. What is my benefit in order to meet? You know that this is the natural tendency in this material world that we meet someone when we are getting something. We are talking to someone when we are getting something from that other person.
Benefit.
Benefit. What benefit I can have with other person? And we talk that much of or we are meeting. If we are in some position, we are meeting just to sake of meeting. Just to pacify that person. Ah, I have met you. That is means all materialistic thoughts. But Guru Maharaj is not like that. He is completely on a spiritual platform. Whenever he is meeting someone, whenever he is meeting someone, he doesn't have anything to take from other person. Even if other person has that quality, some material quality, he tried to use it in that in Krishna's service. And Guru Maharaj is always thinking that how I can benefit that Soul how can give him Krishna consciousness? He is already in Krishna consciousness. Then how he can improve in his Krishna consciousness? Further improvement. If he is not in a Ka consciousness then Guru Maharaj wants to give him Ka consciousness. And I have enough number of example to prove this. Whatever time Guru Maharaj is giving to any soul, to any person he is meeting, he is giving his whole heart. He is giving his whole hundred and ten percent to that person. His only thought with that when he is meeting with that person. One example, very little example which I have realized with many examples in order to prove my point that once a couple came with a small 7, 8 years old with his son. They were introducing, they were coming to first time many devotees they used to come and they. They used to get the blessings every day. Many devotees they used to come. So Guru Maharaja's Prabhu's name, Mataji's name, what they are doing it. And then son's name. Then he unable to understand what's the son's name. Then he ask again what is his name. Again the couple told that his name is so and so. Again Guru Maharaj unable to understand it. Again he ask it three times. He ask it why he is asking it. And after getting the name, then he translated this. Your name represents so and so. So be in Krishna consciousness. He tried to preach but that name. So we are meeting it okay, one time. If we are not able to understand the name second time. Okay. What's that? He didn't know him. No. But because he's giving, he is on a spiritual platform he meets not on a material platform. That is the quality. That's why he remember to whomsoever he meet. That is why his remember of that devotee is good. Another example. One IYS girl came, her father expired and she was a divorcee on that day. And Sukirti Mataji sent that IYS girl. He told Ajita Prabhu, you just try to introduce. Just get. Try to get the blessings. She is in trouble. She is not well on a material point of view also. And she is struggling in her spiritual sadhana also. And though I am preaching her, so if she gets the blessings of Guru Maharaj, she will be more benefited. So I introduced somehow lot of rush was there. So somehow one minute just I introduced to Guru Maharaj that Mataji IYS girl, Guru Maharaj that she has lost her father and she is a divorcee and she is Sukirti Mataji is preaching to this Mataji. And then you know, after that over so many devotees were there. Means I think some 20. 2020 devotees were there at that time. On that day particular day. Next night 11 o' clock Guru Maharaj called. And I forget to whom I have introduced. Guru Maharaj remember that Mataji. That girl that who has come and divorcee. If you think that then he suggested one name is one devotees name with the same. He is also Tam means from the same caste or something. What do you think that if this match if she likes to I ask her. She said that okay. If she get a good devotee she will marry. So what do you think about that? Ask Sukirti if this match is well going for that Mataji. I have forgotten to whom I have introduced. He remembers next day 11 o' clock he told he called. Why he was thinking of that Mataji that how can I help her? How can I give? How can I help in ka consciousness. And you won't believe that meeting will be less. Hardly a minute and 20 devotees were there at that time. This is Guru Maharaj. He never forgets. That's why he remembers even after a long period of time. Whenever he means his memory is so sharp. Another example I will give you. In 2015 Guru Maharaj came first time to this house and my family. We have Gauravar. So in 2015 we asked Guru Maharaj please name the deities. Then after that we didn't say anything. 2015 gone. 16 gone. 16 also he came. 17 also he came. Then 18 he came for this no 1 year he did not came. 2015 he came. 2016 he came. Then 2017 he came. Guru Maharaj. 18 year 15, 16 and 18 he came and 18 also passed. 2019 somewhere in January morning 4 o' clock his night servants. Night servant Goloka Prabhu. He called. He called. You write in. Write down this four name Guru Maharaj has given. And Guru Maharaj is asking which name you goes. Means you are okay with that which name? 2015 we have asked he remember. He didn't forget it. We forget that we have asked name. We have requested Kurumaraj to name our deities. In 2019 January after the transplantation he was here and he called morning four o' clock he told Goloka bring out the pen and paper. Write down this forename. Goloka Prabhu was telling me write down this forename and ask Ajita which name is okay with him. Then nine o' clock I came and nine or ten o' clock he was. Some doctors were checking him. Some doctors were there. Physiotherapist or that he was busy in the meeting. After in the meeting I was going out. He called me. You didn't told me what name is good for you. Then I told Guru Maharaj I have to ask Charu and she is not there. Okay, you tell me. And then I told Guru Maharaj. This Nitai Chandra Sachinandan we like very much. And this. And then in the evening class he announced that this is the name I have given to the deities. Ajita Gopinath deities. 2015 we asked and he gave it. He never forget it. He is always on a spiritual platform. We used to forget it another in order to prove my point that he is always on a spiritual platform. Why that he never forgets. Why he never forgets? 2015 I introduced with one of my very good friend who helped me in serving Guru Maharaj here in the building 15th floor. Mr. Dharmendar is my friend. So 2015, 15 when he came he visited to his house. Visited to his house. And because they invited Guru Maharaj. And then Guru Maharaj told okay, I will come he visit just for a moment. He went there and he gave the blessings and they paid obeisances. And because at that time we were using their house to serve the devotees. Prasadam. 2015 when that visit so recently in 2023. Now 15 to 23. Seven years after what happened in 2000, it's another backstory. So I will not go with that. So Guru Maharaj was in the lift. He went to some devotees, some not a devotee, a new which Guru Maharaj has make that Mataji a devotee. She is living here. So they invited and Guru Maharaj went to their place. And after their place that Dharmandir was also following them. Okay. Then after coming out then Guru Maharaj told I will go to your place also. And you know he won't believe that. Then he told Dharmendara, you are living in 15th floor. I know. Seven year back when he visited he he knows that he is living in 15th floor. And today after seven years he knows that which floor gut is living 15th floor. I have left MRC Nagar some 10 years back. I forget which what is my house number where I have stayed there. And Guru Maharaj went to a place for a movement in 2015. After seven years also he remembered where he is living. Because whatever that interaction is there with Guru Maharaj to anyone that is on his spiritual platform, he has not to take anything from any anyone else. He whatever the qualities other has, he will introduce into the Ka consciousness. He will use it in Krishna consciousness. His eyes are Searching what is there? What new thing is there? So that I can introduce in Mayapur I can use it in Krishna service Every when I cycling he is asking what is this? What is this? Why your lift doesn't go to the basement? Each and every minute thing. But an ordinary person will think this is not Krishna consciousness thought. No, it is all whatever he thinks, whatever he asks, it is all Ka consciousness. Why? Because why this lift is not going to this one. The same lift can go to the basement. My lift in Hiranandani our lift is going to the lobby. Then there are two basement also. For the basement we have to take separate lift. So why it is there? He is asking the question why it is there? Have you ever realized? He asked yeah, I told Guru Maharaj because recently we have realized there is flood In Chennai in 2015 there is a flood and in DLF that same lift is going to the basement. And then they struck everywhere because the lift got waste. Because flooded that 12 floor it was flooded. But when it was Krishna's mercy, there was no flood here. But if the basement got flooded, the main lift will not get affected. It will keep on running. Only the basement lift will get waste. You understand my point? Then he got. Yes. So I will see that meeting was there Mayapur and then told that why our lift is going where? And this is what I have observed it here. So each and everything he observed it and applied in Krishna consciousness in the temple construction or this. So he lives hundred percent. 24 hours into. You know, 24 into seven. There is one word. So he is always in Krishna consciousness. He is always in Krishna. That's why he never forgets to whomsoever he may take enough number. You want more example? I have more example to say.
Maybe you can share both of you about the initiation.
Yeah, initiation.
Guru Mai Kamji night and he asked you know how to make pongal? I say Guru Mahat now I learned the pongal. Then say okay, go and make. Make the pongal for me. Then I make the pongal eat nicely. Okay, so now you can tell the face about this initiation.
I will tell on her behalf. I will tell you. Yes. So what happened? In 2007 he visited Chennai for Rath Yatra. So Prasanna Prabhu at that time he hosted Guru Maharaj in his house. And he was not well. He was sick at that time, some fever. He got some infection. Fever. But next day he was all right. So he came to Prasanna Gopinath Prabhu's house. He stayed there and in the night when he was little fresh. So he called and myself my wife Prasanna Gopinath Prabhu his wife. So we were there and we four has to take the initiation. Next day is the initiation. So he took personal interview. Then from us he asked that it is written that you are not attending the Mangalaarthi. Yes Guru Maharaj I am not attending the Mangalaarti. Why? I used to take my son for the classes. So she does the Mangla Aarti in the morning. Okay. Then she asked. Then Guru Maharaj asked about how many times from her. Guru Maharaj asks how many times you have read Bhagavad Gita So in Hindi she replied it that two times. Then he asked in Hindi I think Kitni Bhar bhagavad gita para ha. 2 times. Why not 3 times for initiation 3 times you have to read so okay. And merciful. Then he become very merciful. That okay. After getting the initiation in how many days? How many days you require to finish the Bhagavad Gita? So Shani then he asks six months is enough. Within six months you will complete your Bhagavad Gita. She said okay? Yes. Guru Maharaj may try Karunge. Okay, you try it. To complete within six months you have to complete your. This is a vow. Then she completed after getting the initiation she completed reading the balance of the Bhagavad Gita before six months. And then next day he gave to all four of us means many devotees he was giving the initiation. So in 2007 we got initiation on the 15th of January. It was an Ikachi day. So we got that initiation. Mercy of Guru Maharaj one time. What happened in 2018? I will tell you this. 2018 Guru Maharaj came out and then he asked what she asked. He asked from my wife that what sweet can you prepare for me. Then my wife told that she doesn't know how to make sweets. Then Guru Maharaj told after I know.
It'S only north in a sweet. Guru Mahat says check you open the YouTube. Check this one.
Open the YouTube. Check it. Lot of recipes are available in the YouTube. Then that day until now whenever Guru Maharaj is there, she is making sweet for Guru Maharaj.
Before I know only ice cream. Ice cream. I give ice creams only kulfi mango cream. This, this. I know my sense.
You open your YouTube then Guru Maharaj gave one item. You make it for me. Whatever you want means you just open the YouTube, take the recipe and Try it. Apple pie. You make apple pie for me. And he told his cooker that today sweet I will take what Radha Rajeshwari will make. I will take that apple pie. Then she make it and she ask how? How is it is what is the means? How to be means what is what has to be rectified in this sweet. Then he told very mercifully, very good suite. And sometime he used to say sweet without sweet. He gave it. So when there is less sweet, then she makes some what that Bengali Sandesh. He loves Sandesh and particularly mango Sandesh.
He loves her every time he wants you make Sandesh, you make Sandesh. He's a cake mix.
He likes Sandeshu very much. Then she learned phirni from her neighbor. From. No, not neighbor, from her Atiti. She knows that one sweet ferny that is a Punjabi sweet. Punjabi sweet. But Guru Maharaj loves very much. And then she told how to make it to Prasanna Prabhu. And then Prasanna Prabhu used to prepare it many times to give it to Guru Maharaj. And one time what happened?
Guru Mah likes Shrikhand also so much.
Shrikhand also? Yeah.
Mango. This is apple pie.
Shrikhand Sandesh. And then Guru Maharaj always inspired us. Means inspired them, my daughter and to make new. New, new. You try it with the strawberry, you try with blueberries. You try with some different fruits with different stuff. He gave so many ideas. You try with that. Have you tried with this? Have you tried with this variety?
Different, different taste you want? Then afterwards I am not well. Then my daughter and groom. I said make Charu to make. Then she make how she make? Sometime I help. Sometimes she make alone.
But one time Guru Maharaj told yeah, she is my best sweet maker. Now one time what happened? My son was studying in Delhi at that time. So he used to come after some in his holidays he used to come. So in 2000, the 18th of December somewhere he was here or in. Yeah, in Diwali days, I think Diwali holidays he was here, he came. And then whenever he used to come, he got the chance. Mavara Prabhu mercifully take him to the service of Guru Maharaj. He is helping the servants, devotees. So he always used to be whenever time he is there, he always used to be here with Guru Maharaj every day, every time. So one time what happened? Guru Maharaj asked him some water. And then he asked in a childish way that Guru Maharaj why you are taking water? Tumbler means water. Copper bottle. Copper bottle. Copper bottle. So he Used to take water which used to be kept in the copper bottle. So Guru Maharaj, why you are using the copper bottle nowadays? No, no. This is good for thyroid. This is good for I am thyroid. So this is. Somebody has told me. So this is good for thyroid and so many other diseases also. So for digestion, for immune. It is good. Then he told immediately my mother is also having thyroid. Guru Maharaj he just told casually Guru Mah, my mother is also having the thyroid. So it is good that she takes. After that he forgets it. Then two days. After three days. After. After three days Subhanga Prabhu came. Subhanga Prabhu. Subhanga Prabhu came. We were staying in the eighth floor. He came. He knocked the door and he came. So he came with the bottle, copper bottle. Then he told Guru Maharaj has sent for you. That he has ordered. He has ordered through a mason. And that Radha Rajeshwari is having the thyroid. So he says so caring like a father. So caring. You know that just my son told that she is also having the thyroid. And he was using the copper bottle. And he immediately purchased the copper bottle and. And send it for her. You give it. She is having the thyroid.
Then Shubangapur gave. Then after next day Guru Mai come down. I sent copper bottle.
Have you received it? You start taking it. Have you started it? The water, copper bottle. And the day he came, he was very weak after coming out from the hospital transplantation. So he was very, very weak. Very weak. So every two days or three days he has to go to the hospital for checkup. Weekly. Twice he has to go there. So when he. After 15 days, when he got some strength, little strength the first time, immediately he told I want to go down 8th floor where Ajita is. He immediately came and he asked that are you okay? Now you show me your house. Is it okay? Are you okay? Are you okay? No means no problem. You want anything? Like a father is asking. He was asking. He walks away. Means all through the house. Then he saw that same house, same thing. You want anything you want, you tell me. And so it was really. It's such a nice experience. Means he was taking care of us personally. He was taking care of us. I like a father. Even my father has not taken care of me such a nice way. He was taking care of us so nicely. The whole family under his shelter. And we were feeling so safe. Actually that one year it was so safe of our life that we are completely direct under the shelter of Guru Maharaj. And some my father Elderly person is there in a materialistic way also. You know, you think that you are. If you are under some shelter, you will feel safe in the sense that. And Diwali. He came of his own. I think today is Diwali. Today is Diwali. So you are not celebrating the Diwali. So I told Guru Mana, tomorrow is our Diwali. Tomorrow is our Diwali. Then he came to the altar and then he worshipped the deities. Yeah, at that time we took the deities to the eighth floor. Eighth floor we took. And then when Sudarshan Chakra came. So you know that when devotees are there. So some misunderstanding also happens. And when Sudarshan Chakra came, Guru Maharaj came to know that Sudarshana has come. And the devotees were saying, no, no, Guru Maharaj now means now it's over. Because you have a lot of activities to do. Now it is getting late for your dinner. Prasad something that. So Guru Maharaj pressed eight of his own. I want to go. And he came there, he offered a special prayer and then he saw me and he told all the problems will go away from now. All the problems will go away from now. And that day onwards, you know, the things were becoming so normal, so smooth. Everything. Everything becoming no in the sense. Water problem was there at that time. Huge water problem was there in Chennai because of no rain. And somehow. And There were some 20, 25 devotees. They were staying in other apartment and we were keep on praying. That type of problem, that anxiety was there. So somebody will not say anything because maximum four can stay in an apartment. But in that apartment today 25 devotees they were staying so many up and down from Mayapur. This and waterprop. Severe water shortage was there at that time. Luckily Hiran and Nani was getting some water lorries regularly every day. Some strike happened. Some strike. Lorry strike happened. Something because of that lorry strike. That water shortage was there. So that neighbors will not say anything or something. So it was Mahavara, Prabhu and me myself. And we were just in anxiety somehow keep going. That service will keep going. Krishna's mercy never obstructs any obstacle has not come. No obstacles have come. Because it has been solved out by Guru Maharaj mercy. And Krishna's mercy. It has not come to us but. But we were in anxiety somehow. It never come to us directly that we face any problem in that serving Guru Maharaj anytime. But somehow. And it seems that Guru Maharaj knows that. Because the way he told after praying and then he told he was facing me and then he Told Now Sudarshana has come. Don't worry. All problems will go out. All the something he has told that exact word. I did not remembering that all the problems will go away. All the problem. And you won't believe that everything was very smooth. Strike got open. Water supply was normal. Everything was in a normal. These two problem was there. Water shortage was means. It was a really. Because without water how we will and daily then we have to wash. Guru Maharaj cloths everything with a very nice caring. Because two times the washing was happening. Rainy season was there some up and down the. That is. But water shortage was very severe at that time. For one month. I think long time. Yeah, 15 days it was there strike was there actually strike there in 2019. There was no water. Means rainfall was not there. Then Guru Maharaj came for Mayuri's marriage. Actually the day he lands it rains in Chennai. The day he lands. And we were thinking that how we will survive in Chennai. After that the rain was normal in 2019. June, July. He stayed there for 45 days. I think he stayed one month. More than month his skin cancer operation operated at that time.
Any personal instructions? Any personal instructions from Guru Maharaj?
Personal instructions? No. Every act is an instruction. Actually every act is an instruction. Yeah. One time actually the devotees were there here only some 20 devotees. Guru Maharaj was there at that site. And devotees were here. So at that time Guru Maharaj asked after finishing the meeting with the devotee, the Guru Maharaj asked where is the prasadam? So that day he gave me the instruction. So I'm here. So devotees are there. Then better ask your wife to prepare something. Or you should have something so that you can serve the devotees with parshadam. So then from that day onwards she used to prepare some. So then she prepared something. Sometimes cookies, Sometime your, you know, dates. Sometime dry fruit. Sometime that popcorns. He told that you can prepare popcorns. You can prepare popcorns. And sir, devotees will like it. Because he used to have popcorns. Ask your wife to prepare popcorns. Offer it and you can serve the popcorns. It will not spoil. Why he suggested popcorns? Because Mahavara Prabhu was upset that you are serving the sweet. Then it will create infection. Bacteria will form. Because devotees they are coming and they are fall. This prasadam will fall down. They don't take care. So better you give it something dry. Then Guru Maharaj suggested why not popcorn? Popcorn is dry. He immediately ready with the. You know, so many ideas. So many ideas. At that time one day we were inspecting this thing, this steel Structures are there. This one, this steel. So that Guru Maharaj coming in and out. So actually it will not create the infection. Or this bathroom also whenever he is going inside it will not stuck. So after putting it so night we were inspecting it. So whether they have put it in a correct way. So I was standing here and Guru Maharaj was there alone. Actually only one servant was there after transplantation. Then he called at that was a very personal movement that he called. He gave his blessings and you are not coming to me. And then he asked how was the class today? Then I told Guru Maharaj that before the transplantation you have given a class about the marriage of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Chaitanya. He gave a wonderful classes. Means series of classes were there. And then at that time we were feeling that we are in a marriage. We are personally attending the Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's marriage. He narrated the incident in such a spiritual way that we were feeling that we are attending Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's marriage. So I told Guru Maharaj, Guru Maharaj dad class, I love it. Then he told yeah I see it. Two times he repeated and I was shocked what he is saying. I see it, I feel it. Yeah. In our anniversary that he told Mataji to bring one gift, I want to give it to them. And he told me that why you are not going to the office. Then he gave one idea that whenever I am going to the hospital at that time you go to your office, you finish your work and then come. Because when I am here you must be busying and arranging everything. Then Mahavara Prabhu told in hospital also he is busy arranging the hospital doctors room and all these things. Then he laughed then how your work is going on? Then he kept one silent and two time this incident, very personal incident has happened to with me. I will share share it. One time at the time of construction of our temple so we were just serving Amarinder Gordas. So he was the project manager and myself and Prasanth Gopinath, Prabhu and all the devotees. We were serving him whatever he wants, purchasing and all these things. So he gave me one work at the time of temple construction. So I told Ayod I have some work in office, I have to go, I will do it tomorrow. And you won't believe it. I went to the office and I am unable to do any of my work. And on that day was the worst day. My madam, my manager told sir it was going very nicely. Today only it is not happening Every whatever I am asking sir, today it is not happening why we are not able to dispatch it Today only we are not able to dispatch everything they are saying today we are not able to do it Then I realized that I left Krishna's service I came so it is spoiling the same thing happened when we were serving Guru Maharaj and then I have to go to the office and though I asked Mahavara Prabhu that I can go and Mahava Prabhu told that we have to go here, we have to go here Some, some, some. Some services were there related I told that okay, tomorrow, tomorrow we can go and we can do it again I went to the office and that same thing happened Nothing has come out, nothing out come while it's waste, simply waste going in the going to the shop at that time so they told manager told only today it is not happening otherwise it is going smooth. You see it yesterday we dispatched so much of material we have so much of order Today there is no labor, no light, nothing so some disturbance of any time some sort of disturbance were there I never I didn't told to Guru Maharaj but I realized this and the best day, best years of our, you know, business when in 2018, 19 it was best year and in 2011-12 when the temple construction best year so it proves that when you are in service Krishna takes care of it is a personal experience actually realization and he used to ask two, three times he used to say so when you are going to the office when you are going to the office he is always who is taking care means he was always thinking of us means how you are taking care of your office this that he is very, very merciful Very merciful in the sense that very very immersive that we are not getting disturbed and many times he told I hope I am not disturbing I am disturbing you, I am disturbing you. So it was, you know whenever you used to tell I am disturbing you, it hurts. Yeah so it's a great out of some great fortune means we don't know but all the Chennai devotees they were very quite helpful and all because of blessings of Rangatrishna Prabhu Mataji that we can Amarendra Gordha Sukirti Prasanna Gopinath Sumitra Prabhu Tarni Mataji they were quite very very helpful in all the way Whatever we required it, they immediately send it Even we required something Sometime even we call Amarendra Rangakrishna Prabhu Even in the midst of the night they were There to help without alone it is not possible to serve Guru Maharaj so there was a team actually behind it and we were there in the front face actually but there is a back team the whole team was working it and we were just enjoying it but the team actually they were working at Sukirti sending the prasad and devotees from long distance they were bringing the prasad and Sringakrishna Prabhu Mata Ji they are arranging from different devotees they are serving actually we have not done anything they were serving it and all because of their planning their blessings and their availability that we are in a safe haven they have to cover long distance to commit actually they have done the real service to Guru Maharaj all this team they have led by Rangakrishna Prabhu Radhika Mataji Sukhirti Amarindra Prasanna and then Tarni Mataji Sumitra Prabhu Rao Prabhu Whenever we want anything they were always ready to help and then behind them whole team work so I cannot name each and every one but support without their support how can and all the neighbors Krishna's mercy They were mercifully they securities and all Hiram Nani residents Krishna's mercy How Krishna has arranged? Actually it was like that Daily it was a festival Daily it was a festival like marriage is going daily some marriage like function is there Marriage function so it seems that daily some marriage is there daily 50, 60 devotees they are coming morning and then evening in the class so we don't know the day as how it has passed date, how it has passed yeah so we.
Don'T know this is Monday and Tuesday date also we forget.
And Guru Maharaj actually just it is because of his mercy alone everything went smoothly because if his mercy is not there then we cannot serve him Some obstacles so many how nothing has come up how it is again now even some two persons comes in a family they are asking but there daily 60 devotees were coming Hundreds of devotees they were coming here Nobody has asked raised any question only one time my present I got a fight on 3rd January 3rd February sorry 3rd March 2018 so we had a fight I had a fight with this breeding present after that nothing prayers, Krishna's mercy KRU Maharaj blessings everything Still Guru Maharaj is coming and it is going on smoothly Hope everything keep on going smoothly Many pastimes are there so one time what happened now during this dialysis before transplant during his dialysis time that the first dialysis happened when he came after the first dialysis so he is so active and so smart Guru Maharaj that he asked how much you have paid. How much you have paid for this dialysis. I told Guru Mah 28,000 rupees. We have paid it. He got shocked. How 28,000 rupees. Yes, Guru Maharaj. Because then Mahavara Prabhu tried to persevere. Because Guru Maharaj you have so much complications. This. That so. But he is Guru Maharaj. He will not keep quiet. So next day he has given a task to his servants. My son was also there. And he was serving Guru Maharaj. At that time. You all ask. You all call different hospital. And I want the rate of dialysis. What is going on? Dialysis rate to everyone. To Chubanga Prabhu, to Dhruva. He has given three, four servants. He has given the chance. You call this. You call this. You call this hospital. And then everyone they came with the report after afternoon. I want the report. Then they bring it. Guru Maharaj. It is only 3300. 3800. 3500. Everyone came with the. Then he called both of us, Mahavara Prabhu and me yesterday. How much you have paid? 28,000. It is only 3,300. 3,500. 3,800. You inquire it where we are wrong. Where we are wrong. We are paying higher. Why we are paying higher? Otherwise I will not go for dialysis. I will go there. Then Guru Mahavra Prabhu tried to pacify Guru Maharaj. Guru Maharaj, you have so much complications. All your team doctors are here. You cannot go to the other hospital. Money is not the criteria. Your health, your health. You are the most important for us. Guru Maharaj, money is not important for us. No, it's Prabhupada money. Krishna's money. You cannot waste. You are saying instruction. So every action there is an instruction. Every action. His every action there is an instruction. You cannot waste. You will waste. You will waste the money. You inquired it. Then we went. We went ahead. Mahavara Prabhu sent me. Inquired you go in advance. And I went in one hour. Then I called Mataji, Dr. Geetalakshmi Mataji also. That this is the problem. And then I went to meet all the big managers of Global Hospital. And then Mataji told that I am coming there in the Global hospital. Then she came. Then we all. Me, myself and Mataji. We came in a director's room. Because she was also a big. She was vice chancellor. She was on a big post. So then they figure it out that why we are paying more? Because Guru Maharaj needs one room and that is VIP room. And if we want the room and through the room, if we push it up, there is a VIP charges. All the means expenses will go on on a increasing side. So if we don't go to the room and we go directly then the charges are same which the Guru Maharaj has inquired it. But Guru Maharaj has to go to the room and Guru Maharaj has to use it. And from there because he was very weak. He was very, very weak, Guru Maharaj. So every time he used to go to the room and then from the room they shifted. He can't wait. So he has to wait in the room. So his commode. So then I told to Guru Maharaj that night I told everything to Guru Maharaj. Then Guru Maharaj decided okay Jeeta, if I go directly then the same then I will go directly. Why I will need the room. Then Guru Maharaj understand it. When we are going through a VIP room the charges are also VIP higher. Said. So Guru Maharaj came to know all these things. Then he told no, you just fix the timing. At that time we will go there and I will have my dialysis and we will come back. I don't require the room. He sacrificed that we will with same money. He sacrifice that. Though he was not in a position, but he sacrificed that. Nobody knows that he sacrificed that. Why I am saying it because he was very weak. He was very, very tangible. We were not getting liver, we were not getting kidney. We were on a waiting side. And day by day his condition was going down and down, down and down. Because then doctor, in a very layman language he told me, I asked why Guru Maharaj is going so weak. Day by day he is saying that like liver he is eating something. Ok? And eating and liver is not working so it is not getting digested properly. So all the tattvas, all the juices, all the vitamins and all that vital elements which the body is required when it get digested. The food get digested. So it distributed to the different parts of the body. But Guru Maharaj food because of the liver is not functioning. So that is why he is not getting the proper this nutrition in the body. That is why he is getting weak, weak, weak, weak. And he was so weak. Then he then we fixed the timing, fixed the timing. And from the timing when we fixed it, he is going to the hospital. And hospital he take the dialysis and then come back. And then we were paying it 3,800 rupees. It is all because of Guru Maharaj interruption means contributions. His intelligence. He used his intelligence and he guided all his devotees. And in this way you have to use your intelligence. You have to go means everything. Whichever the point. Whatever things is there. Whatever. Whatever the things are there. In his challenge or whatever, he come across anything. He goes deep into that. He dive deep into that. He doesn't accept anything as it is. He goes deep into that. Deep. And then he studied it. And then he comes out every time. 28,000 rupees. 3,800 rupees. How much he is saving a devotee. He was serving. I remember that he took three. This tissue paper. He scolded Kuro Maharaj, why you have taken three? Your father has a factory. Why you are taking? Why you are. When we don't use it, why you are wasting it? It's very sensible for each and everywhere. Exact word is not that. But he means to say that don't waste it. Why you are wasting unnecessary. My son is having some pastimes actually because he was in a personal serving to Guru Maharaj. And he went to Dubai also with Guru Maharaj. Four months continues. He was there in the service. Four months. Wow.
Long time.
From January till April he came the first time when Guru Maharaj was here. She is saying that she was in the native place. Native place. So she came here and all the Brahmacharis were there. So she went to attend some marriage function. So she kept luggage to neighbor's house. And then I put her there in my friend's Radhanath Maharaj disciple at Buddha Gopal Prabhu's house. Because here all the devotees were there. Night time she came by the flight from the airport. She came here directly. That story she is. That is in the initial when Guru maharaj treatment started. 2018. That is February somewhere. When after long Guru Maharaj stayed in the hospital. After 26 days again when he came back. So there at that time he stayed here for 10 days. Some eight, 10 days before going to Mayapur. So she came many times he used to come to the eighth floor just to see, to meet. He used to come to just have the deities. Many times he just press 8 before going evening he used to go for a walk for cycling. For a cycling. 5 o' clock is the time at that time in Chennai. December, January is a good climate. So five o' clock it's nice, very nice. Breeze is growing in January. So every approximately five o' clock was his regular time to go for an outing for cycling. First he was going in a wheelchair and then he started his cycling slowly around the whole Hiranandani. First he was walking through only this encircling here.
Guru may like banana chips so much.
So then he walks to a different direction. And then many devotees they follow. Many devotees they follow. Guru Maharaj. He used to go to this grocery shop. And then he purchased something. Then he distributed to everyone.
Eat one piece.
Eat one piece and then distribute it. So that was going on and on.
Agnes Guru Mahj kept my money in his pocket.
Once a donation came, Mahavara Prabhu went to Malaysia. So I was there. And Madhavakanta was there. So Mahavara Prabhu went for a 10 days. 7, 8. Some important work was there. He was in Malaysia. Yes, he wants to avoid it. But he has to go something Malaysia. So at that time I was looking after everything. Guru Mahavara told that Geeta will see it. So once a donation came, very nice donation came. Somebody gave the donation. Then Guru Maharaj makes a cracked joke there. Guru Maharaj is very expert in cracking the jokes. He told, it is not for you, it's donation. My donation? No, that servants they ask. He didn't call him. Then he handed over this. Then he told, it is not for you, it is my duplication. And he laughed. Everyone there laughed. Sometimes he is always in a very joking. He cracks very nice joke. Sense of humor is very nice. Guru Maharaj. So once what happened? I was telling you that actually so there are the glories of the servants. Also that the mood in which. What mood? They are serving Guru Maharaj. That is quite astonishing. Very amazing. So I never forget that the way Mahabhara Prabhu because he is the leader of the serving team. He is managing all everything. And so his moods. Actually he gave. He direct all the mood that in this mood we have to serve Guru Maharaj. And the most astonishing thing is that even after serving so close closely to Guru Maharaj he is not familiar with Guru Maharaj. He has full respect and the mood. What happened that one time we were very late. Guru Maharaj has to go to the hospital for admission. And unfortunately no room was available. No room was available. I was not there. I was trying to manage it from my office. I was in the office. Then he called me. Ajita, you have to come. No room is available there. And we are waiting for two hours. Then I called all the management team and then they told that no room is there. Sir, what to do it? 10 o' clock. One room will be vacant. So 10 o' clock also. We didn't get the room. You won't believe. We got it after 12 o' clock in the midnight. We got it home. And Guru Maharaj for the four hours he was there in the wheelchair. And admission was important. We can't come back also. But it was going on within half an hour. You will get it. Within one hour you will get it. So why to go unnecessary to the house? We can and can come back. So actually we got it in this. And Guru Maharaj was very tired sitting all four hours. He was sitting on one side of the global hospital. We were just there in our group. Guru Maharaj was in the center. And we were all surrounding nearby. We all got tired. So some midnight we got it room. And then we got the room. And then they were rushing it everything. They were settling all the rooms Guru Maharaj paraphernalia. They were settling it down. And then they have to treat Guru Maharaj. Doctors came and so it was in a ration. Hurry and bury everything. So one devotee. I don't want to name the devotee. One devotee. Just he take Guru Maharaj sleepers and kept it like this. It was a rush. He used to catch Mahavara Prabhu noticed this. Then he told whole night he was unable to sleep. Because he was always accompanying Guru Maharaj. He used to sleep wherever Guru Maharaj lives in that same room. Next day morning when I bring means I carried this breakfast prasadam. He called a devotee. He called me serious. I told what has happened. He told. Then he narrated one story. He didn't told directly. He narrated one story. Ramanujacharya story. Pastime that his servant was there and Guru Maharaj. Guru Maharaj Ramanujacharya has deities. One deities. And he loves his deities. And he used to worship his deities regularly. His traveling deities. So he used to travel few days he will stay somewhere and he preach a few days he will. Then he will go. And Ramanujacharya was there. And his servants were there. So he is one main servant. He was there one day Ramanujacharya after worshipping the deities he told his servants. So today now I am going some work for preaching. And today we will go. We have to leave this place. And when I will come. You packed everything. You packed my deities also. So he packed everything, his deities and all these things. He was ready about to go. Go. And then when Ramanandcharya saw that where are my deities? Here. But here you have kept my sleepers. You fool. You don't know there my deities are there. And you have Kept the sleepers on the same place. What nonsense. You are doing it. So he was very shocked to see that. Then he paid the disciple, he paid his obeisance. The servant, he paid obeisance, asked forgiveness. Then he told yes, my dear Guru Maharaj, this is your deities. But your sleepers are my deities. So then he narrated that yesterday what you have done it taken Guru Maharaj sleeper. Each and every paraphernalia of Guru Maharaj we have to take care of respect. It resembles Guru Maharaj and Guru Maharaj levers is our deities. You have to take it, you have to place it with respect. Yes, I know you were in a hurry at that time. But still at that time you should respect the sleepers. So that was the mood. In that mood the servants headed by Mahavara Prabhu he managed the team in that mood. He passes that mood to the servants to serve Guru Maharaj. So this is very important to know everyone that that is the mood they were serving Guru Maharaj. And that's the setup of the mood. Then you will feel bliss to have the association of such devotees and serve Guru Maharaj. Not even a single second was there when they disobeyed Guru Maharaj. Disrespect will not come enter into their mind with paraphernalia of Guru Maharaj.
Only for ice cream. Only for the ice cream.
Only for the ice cream.
Means there's a way.
No, no, no, no. Nobody touches. Actually what is Guru Maharaj? Fruits, ice cream, his mangoes. Nobody touches. Nobody has a thought of we can have whatever means. He is head Persona Prabhu headed by this refrigerator, kitchen. He is the head. If he gives from his own hand then they will take it. Otherwise nobody touches. Even it is going everything waste. They will not touch. They will ask Prasanna Prabhu. Whatever the Prasanna Prabhu gives, if we.
Eat Guru item no.
Guru Maharaj told eight times you have.
To give eight times we give.
Guru Maharaj told one time when one mango was missing, his one ice cream was missing. He counted, he knows how many mangoes have come. I told you that one devotee bring his one box of mangoes. And Guru Maharaj counted everything and he knows how much mangoes he has taken up. He has honored how many mangoes he has eaten. He knows it. And finally when one mango was left over that we don't know where that mango has gone. Somebody they are saying that they have thrown it. Somebody saying somebody has eaten it by mistake. But Guru Maharaj remember my one mango is there in the fridge. Then Devotees, when they open the fridge, it was not there. Guru Maharaj is not there? No, it should be there. Somebody has taken my mango. And that too Alfonso mango which he loves very much. So he remembers everything, counted everything.
Last question is how you see Guru Maharaj following Prabhupada destructions.
When he is not following Prabhupada instruction. 24 into 7. He is following Prabhupada instruction. He is always absorbed in Prabhupada instruction. What happened? I tell you your answer. I am giving you direct with one pastime. If my son is there, he can give you directly. So he was serving Guru Maharaj. He was alone in the hospital. And Guru Maharaj went into ecstasy. Some ecstasy. And then he called and he was narrating Guru Maharaj. Guru Maharaj was narrating Prabhupada. What Prabhupada's section Prabhupada has given to Guru Maharaj. And in order wise he was telling to Dhruva. He was narrating that. Guru Prabhupada has told me. Prabhupada has told me. Prabhupada has told me Prabhupada, why this certain ecstasy? And then you never thought about what Guru Maharaj and Prabhupada has taught. Why this this certain ecstasy? And then narration has come up. Because he is always absorption in the absorption of Prabhupada and Prabhupada instruction. That is the biggest proof. And that is not anything. What I am saying it. That is not anything. Exaggeration is not there. But I think I am not able to completely open up my heart. It is less I am saying it. But it is something very, very more to say it about God. Guru Maharaj. Glorification. I am saying less. Forget about the exaggeration. And it's a fact. And he narrated all the pastime means. All the instruction which Prabhupada has given to Guru Maharaj. Why this thought has come up? Because he is absorbed in that thoughts of Prabhupada instructions of Prabhupada. He got the dream. One time he called everyone. He told that I got a dream. And in dream Prabhupada introducing me to Srila Bhakti, Siddhanta, Saraswati Thakur and Prakti Siddhant. Saraswati Thakur has given me the instruction that unite all the Gaudiyas in one umbrella. So why he got that dream? Because he is on a spiritual platform. Prabhupada Bhakti Siddhant, Saraswati Thakur all they came. Big, big personalities, spiritual personalities used to come in the dream. Because he is never. When you tell me the time when he is not there in the thoughts of Prabhupada then Krishna you tell me that. Second when he is not there. It is very difficult for us. It is difficult to. You know when we read half an hour, one hour Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavatam we get tired of. We want some relax to the mind. Daily hundreds of mail. He is reading, he is replying it. He is attending meetings. All Krishna conscious meeting Prabhupada. There's Mayapur meeting, temple meeting, GBC meeting, some temple issues meeting. And he remembered. You know one Mataji from Bangalore she came and she told I have written one mail to Guru Maharaj. So and so did you know? And there was a big loop of mails and you won't believe Guru Maharaj remembered everything. And Guru Maharaj told that she has not. I have replied her back and I have asked some questions. She has not replied me. See. And then I have seen there was a big loop of discussion and that to six months and Guru Maharaj still remembers it. And Guru Maharaj is saying exactly. And then Mataji was shocked. Yes Prabhu. Yeah. He asked but this is this, this is this. And I told by the when he is asking question, you have to reply it. She is coming in between entering in between the I have written mail and Guru Maharaj has not replied. You ask Prabhu, when I asked Guru Maharaj told that I have asked some questions. She has not replied. You tell me where is the time. I have so much of proofs. I have so much of personal proofs. I have. You tell me the time. Second I was there with him every time. And see, he was living here and I was here. You tell me the time. I have never seen that time or second that he is talking something else apart from Krishna or Prabhupada. His eyes are looking whenever he is going out. His eyes are not seeing this building. His eyes are seeing. What is there extra? What extra? I have never seen it. I am not missing anything which I can use. What is there I can use it for in Krishna Seva. What are these red pipes? What are these lanes? Why they have made it like this for any inquiry? Is there ever? No. If something is good out of it, I can use it in Mayapur. His always thoughts are always going on his. You know, roaming in Mayapur and Prabhupada Mayapur temple. That devotee, how Can I help that devotee that Mataji is struggling. This Prabhu is struggling this temple is struggling that how can I help them? Suddenly he got. Okay you write it to this you call that Mataji. One thing, one very important point. You are saying what you have asked. Anytime I can come. No no you ask me something that you asked me something for which I am keep on speaking for last 510 minutes.
How you see Guru Maharaj Following Prabhupada's structure.
Following Prabhupada instruction his whole body his all thoughts are there in Prabhupada and Chaitanya Mahapa his whole thoughts are there absorbed. It is always 24 hours absorbed in. I have proved so many examples I have given you. While going for operation. While going for transplantation he called before going he called which Maharaj? He is called His Holiness Gopal Krishna Maharaj. He called that Hyderabad this is problem is there. You please be merciful on that devotee something he called and related to the problem in Hyderabad. While going person will think of himself or what? He doesn't think of himself Never you tell when he is thinking of himself he never think of himself. He always think of Prabhupada and his movement that I have to fulfill his instruction. I have to take care of the devotees. He is always absorbed in that. How can I help? How can I serve this organization, this devotee communities. Every time while going for transplantation person will think of himself what will happen? He never thinks transplantation pain. He is calling you call so and so you call this he is thinking of that and after transplantation transplantation 11 holes were there and he was thinking how can I preach? He was preaching to the nurses. He asked liquor first thing he asked liquor my clicker and bing krikker to give it to nurse. He knows what date I entered into the hospital. What date his transplantation surgery has happened and today is what date? Oh. Today may be a Kachi. Today today is Ikachi. Yes Guru Maharaj I will follow Ekachi what they are serving me? Stop he can't speak. You give me Ask Prasanna to make something Ikachi liquid serve me there. Who will follow? Who will follow on a bed 11 holes full of pain. When a person is struggling for a his life just that is five days after that I have written the date also when it has happened devotees they were coming. Guru Maharaj will follow Ekashi Prabhu true Guru Acharya Achar and then Prachar after knowing this who will not keep the Ekachi he is not an ordinary personality. I see you thinking about me that you must be in a problem. Ordinary people they can't understand this. Even they asking that how he is following, how we are following. He is totally hundred percent is following. More than hundred percent is there. And there is no exaggeration in this. In saying this never I found it. Either he is giving blessings, preaching Krishna consciousness or seeing something that he can use it in Krishna's service. His eyes are just wandering everywhere to see what is there. I can use it in the KA service. His mind is always wondering that how can I help? Different style, different ways to serve Srila Prabhupada mission. And when he is meeting anyone, he is always thinking how can I bless this soul in Krishna consciousness? And what this soul has to give it to Krishna. My son wrote a mail from Delhi that Guru Maharaj wanted to do MBA for everything. What I am saying I have a proof for that pastime. To prove that I am not saying as it is. I have a proof. Whatever I have told, I have a pastime related to that that quality. My son wrote a mail and asking that Guru Maharaj I want to do mba. Please bless me immediately. He wrote how your MBA can serve the Prabhupada mission. How your MBA by doing MBA you can able to serve iskcon who will write this when he is always absorbed in the thoughts of Prabhupada that how my disciple can help me in Prabhupada mission. So no answer was there. He was a little. He just mba. I will do no by doing mba. How you will help iskcon? You tell me Then I will give you the blessings. He is not written like that. I will give you the my blessings are there. His blessings are always there. He just asks Vasek question that how by doing this you can help ISKCON in Prabhupada mission. How can you help me in Prabhupada mission? Carrying out the instruction given to me by Prabhupada. Expect his disciple to help him. That is the only thing he wants from his disciple.
Some other memory you want to share.
Whatever I have got it at this juncture I have shared it to you. Many things are there but related. If you ask some question that you are raising some question then immediately how like you have raised the question how Guru Maharaj what you have raised the question Prabhupada instruction.
How he is following.
How he is following.
Maybe you can tell. You have some memories how Guru Maharaj relates with his Godbrothers.
He has the highest respect for his Godbrother. He has the highest. He personally some meetings because of his health condition. That SIDC meeting happens here and all the leaders came. And whosoever Godbrother used to come meet Guru Maharaj. He shared his opened his heart. He shared his heart. He has the highest respect for his Godbrothers. For all of his Godbrothers. And he personally instructed how you are serving them. What arrangement you have done for them. He personally asking Mahavara Prabhu and how you are means what arrangement you have done it for him. If he come to know that he is coming. What arrangement you have come where he will take the prasad who is making the parashad? What are you making it? Who is going to receive? He has highest respect for all the he never. He leads from his from the front. He is leading in all the aspect. We are just in front of him. We are 0 minus minus. We are actually we means we cannot. We are not capable of going in front of Guru Maharaj. Actually we are not capable of facing such an exalted. What we can glorify him who can glorify the Son. But for our own purification we should do it. Bhagavatam also says that.
What is your impression about Guru Maharaj relating with the youth.
With the youth.
Young devotees.
Young devotees. I never came across that anytime that in particular that section that any young. Yes. He always wants preaching should happen pre teaching. If you want to make him happy. That only the things I will tell you one pastime regarding okay. For everything I have a pastime. They say you are talking about the preaching this one. And particularly that young youth preaching. I was in the temple for some meeting. I was in the temple. Mahavra Prabhu called me. But Prabhu come immediately. And I think we have to hide one ambulance. Also Guru Maharaj is not well. We have to take him to the hospital immediately. Where are you? I told I am in the temple. Come immediately. He told. Then I came and we were arranging and we were asking Guru Maharaj about ambulance. He told no ambulance. I will not go. I will go in my caravan. No, no. But he was very. He was very sick. Very, very sick. And same time some Bangladeshi devotees were there leaders and they were bringing. They bring some preaching reports. Their preaching reports. And you won't believe pictures are there with me. I told my some many pictures have lost it. He came out from this room. And when he met those devotees. Nobody said says that he is going to the hospital. He is so sick that his life has come up. His life has come up. And he met with all the devotees. So amazingly, it's a real. It's a totally altogether a different vision for my eyesight. That Guru Maharaj. Guru Maharaj here, Guru Maharaj outside. After seeing the devotees Bangladeshi very carefully listens all that reports. And he talks to the Bangladeshi devotees, all the leaders, they bring it. And he was quite happy. And photo sessions were happen. Photo sessions has happened. And everyone forget that he is Guru Maharaj. You have to go and Mahavra. Prabhu's up and down. Prabhu, we have to tell him he is not well. Nobody can believe that he is not well. When he was interacting with those devotees, Bangladeshi devotees, leaders. Nobody can say realize that he is sick. And he was so sick. Immediately I am giving the answer how sick he was. He was so sick that immediately after reaching the hospital, doctor admitted him in the ICU ward. And that icu. What patient? When you see him here, meeting with the devotees, Bangladeshi devotees. Nobody can assume that he is sick. That is very life has come back. So answer to your questions with one pastime. So for every question there is a pastime. And this is true. And before this, in April, there are many incidents that we have to take Guru Maharaj to the hospital in emergency. Because now and then his condition was. You know, because before transplantation. The transplantation happened in August. And before that he struggled like anything. Struggled like anything. Many times we take him to the hospital and icu. That was a.
Routine.
Routine, you can say every now and then in April I came from Bombay from temple tour. And at that time also he was very sick. And Proctor tried to stable him, giving some antibiotics and all these things. No, nothing, no improvement. Nothing is there. I think we have to take him to the hospital now. And he lost his. This one urea was very high. So some echoing. You know something? When Yuriya goes into the mind, then you lost your consciousness. And something you think you are talking like on one subject matter. You will change it to other subject matter. And you don't know what you are doing it. So that one particular Word is there. Dr. Word that. So he is losing this one. Changing his consciousness because of that urea. Unconscious state of mind and heavy 104 fever was there. And he can't even walk. So we called first time we take him to the ambulance. I called ambulance from this global hospital. And then stretcher. They bring the stretcher here, transferred Guru Maharaj from his bed to the stretcher. And then we were taking him while entering into this one in such a state of mind. One Mataji came from somewhere in Gujarat or something. Some Gujarat One Mataji was there and she wants to meet. And she was how he reciprocates and how he knows that I have to receive. Guru Vayalam Amazing thing. And then while entering into the lift here going out. Mataji was there. And then Mataji came out. He saw Guru Maharaj saw. In such a state of mind. Guru Maharaj saw. And Guru Maharaj tried to reciprocate with that Mataji tried to give the blessing. Some devotee has come to meet me. And he was trying to give blessings. But the people they were rushing Guru Maharaj to the hospital. 105 fever was there and he was not in a state. But after seeing devotee he came into the consciousness. And then Mataji told that I didn't be as a sleeper. We beg things as it is half. No, we were not dressed properly. Even we don't know that we have dressed or not such a state. I am not joking this one. And without sleeper. And just we went to the hospital rush Just Mahamada Prabhu. He just pulled me come. You are late. Because that Mataji was telling me sir. And then after that she told that Guru Maharaj gave me the blessings. In that state he gave the blessing. Devotees had his life light. He just happy to love to see the devotees around him.
