Guru Maharaja’s Nectar Bits from Isvara Puri prabhu, Nov 21st, 2008
Today I had the good fortune to hear Guru Maharaja speak for the first time
in the Hindhuja hospital. I was doing my security services at the entrance
in the ground floor outside the lobby. After waiting patiently outside the
hospital for 5 hours, Dharesh prabhu asked me to come up to the floor where
Guru Maharaja was. When I went to the ICCU Guru Maharaja was resting. I just
took a brief darshan and came out of the ICCU.
When Guru Maharaja woke up after a while, Dr. Shiromani Mataji went to see
him. Later she came out and said Guru Maharaja is trying to say something.
So I went inside and when Guru Maharaja saw me, he cried out… “GAURANGAAA”
(of course to the best of his capability). Then, the nurse told me that I
could go near him. When I went nearby him, he told me, “HARE KRISHNA”. It
took Guru Maharaja a lot of effort, but I saw it as a child begin to say his
first words.
I began to massage his lotus feet and to do some physiotherapy exercises
that a devotee had taught us. Dharesh prabhu came in to check and asked Guru
Maharaja if I was doing it properly. Guru Maharaja lifted up his right hand
and showed his thumb up, confirming it was good. I felt happy to please Guru
Maharaja.
