14th Dec 2008 Night Shift 6pm – 6am
——————————
At 7.20pm Guru Maharaja had his evening fruit. After the evening fruit Braj
Hari Prabhu, Bhadra Balaram Prabhu and myself made Guru Maharaja to sit on
the edge of the bed for 15 minutes. He was sitting without any support. Then
we made him to relax on the bed before taking his dinner. While relaxing
Guru Maharaja was discussing with Braja Hari Prabhu about the facilities
available for him to stay in Juhu Temple.
After the dinner we cleaned Guru Maharaja’s mouth and brushed his teeth.
Dr.Acyutananda, who is representing the Bhaktivedanta Hospital has been
coming for the last one month without fail as a doctor on night shift. At
11pm we both made Guru Maharaja to lie down on his left hand side for him to
take rest.
Everynight Guru Maharaja goes to sleep by lying on his left hand side. Then
around 1am we change his position to right hand side or sometimes facing up.
Tonight, after changing his position, Dr.Acyutananda held Guru Maharaja’s
hand and brought his hand next to railing of the bed for Guru Maharaja to
feel the servant’s calling bell. He told Guru Maharaja, “Maharaj the
bellll(bell) is here. Maharaj the bellll(bell)…is here.” with the ‘l’
sound little thick. Guru Maharaja replied while pointing his belly, “My
belly is here, My belly is here.” Then Guru Maharaja broke into laughter, Ha
ha ha…Ha ha ha.
