In the morning at around 10 am Guru Maharaja went to the swimming pool,
which is about 15 minutes drive from the hospital. He was taken for
physiotherapy in water and was accompanied by Dr Chacko (Bhaktivedanta
Hospital physiotherapist), Dr Acyutananda Prabhu and his servants. Guru
Maharaja was taken in 3 feet depth inside the water. He was able to float on
his back which strengthens his back muscles, and was able to walk in the
water with minimal support. He was in the pool for about half an hour. It
seems it was a good physiotherapy.
After the swimming pool Guru Maharaja went to New Bombay, for the
celebration of Gaura Purnima by the devotees there. With the help of a few
servants Guru Maharaja performed the aroti to Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai Deities,
and the part of the abisheka as well. After that he gave a class about the
appearence and childhood pastimes of Lord Caitanya. Then he took his
prasadam lunch cooked by few of his female disciples from South India,
coordinated by his his personal cook Ivesvara dasa. After lunch he gave
darshan to the devotees who came there.
