2nd,3rd-Dec-08, from Maha Varaha prabhu

This evening HG Iksvaku Prabhu followed me to the hospital since today is
the last day for him to be in Mumbai. We reached the hospital exactly at
7pm. When we went into the ICCU Guru Maharaja was sitting on the brown sofa
next to the window. After few minutes Iksvaku Prabhu started to read some
get well letters to Guru Maharaja as I was preparing the dinner. At 8.30pm
we fed dinner.

After the dinner Guru Maharaja was shifted over to his bed. Iksvaku Prabhu
continued to read the letters. Guru Maharaja was quite alert and was
listening to his reading. At 10.30pm Dr.Sagar and myself went in to attend
Guru Maharaja. Guru Maharaja said he wants to sleep lying down on his left
hand side. For the last 40 days he has been sleeping facing the ceiling. We
turned him to his left facing the window and kept two pillows at the back to
support him. The Hinduja Hospital doctors also recommended Guru Maharaja to
sleep on his left handside.

Guru Maharaja is also been complaining about his sleep for the last few
days. He said he cannot sleep well because of the lights. Generally the
nurses switch off only the lights right above his head when he goes to
sleep. They keep the other lights on especialy the one right above his feet
where they sit and update his records. So he told us to bring an eye mask
which he always gets as a souvenirs from different airlines. Today I had
brought one thick blue British Airways eye mask. I asked the nurse if this
is allowed to wear on his eyes. She rejected. She said, “I will put a cotton
paddings on his eyes. So you do not worry.” I told Guru Maharaja about her
reply. He remained silent for few minutes.

At 6am in the morning I went in again to attend Guru Maharaja. Guru Maharaja
was awake and looked fresh. I applied tilak on his forehead and then started
the morning program. I held the Pancatattva picture in front of him and sang
the samsara dava prayers. He kept gazing at Their Lordship till the end of
the song. He was also gazing at Lord Nrshimadeva till the end of prayers.
When I chanted, “Sri Nrshimadev Bhagavan ki jai! Sri Prahalad Maharaj ki
Jai! He asked, “Where is Prahalad Maharaja in the picture?” I then quickly
grabbed another picture of Lord Nrshimadeva with Prahalad Maharaj and held
it in front of him.

After two minutes Guru Maharaja asked me, “Do I have any tickets left
unused?” I said, “Guru Maharaja you still have some tickets but do not worry
we are taking care of them. I have cancelled all the existing bookings. We
will get a refund for all the expired ones.”

I then continued, “Guru Maharaja, devotees all over the world are praying
for your speed recovery. Soon you will be able to travel and preach.” After
few seconds, Guru Maharaja said, “Tell them to pray. I want to gain
strength. Walk soon.” Actually Guru Maharaja told the same thing last night
to Iksvaku Prabhu. So please keep praying intensely until Guru Maharaja
fully recovers.
