Saturday , 2 October
Guru Maharaja left to the gym in the morning. Guru Maharaja had his
breakfast before leaving and devotees were singing kirtan for Guru Maharaja.
At the gym Guru Maharaja was using all the equipments very nicely. The gym
Guru Maharaja visit is actually a well known franchise. It’s call True
Fitness. Guru Maharaja then took lunch at his residence. There was a roaring
kirtan while Guru Maharaja ate lunch. Many devotees came to visit Guru
Maharaja as it was a weekend. Guru Maharaja always looks happy to meet
devotees. After lunch Guru Maharaja gave out some Prasad and then went to
take rest. At 6pm, Guru Maharaja did his walking therapy with
Dr.Acyutananda. Guru Maharaja did very well. This therapy actually has Guru
Maharaja walking on his own with very minimal help from Dr. Acyutananda.
Today there is Prerana programme by the youth boys and Guru Maharaja was
looking forward to attend it. The festival was to be held at Sri Jagannath
Mandir. HG Baladev prabhu from Chowpatty was the guest speaker. The topic
was from hurricane to Harinam. About 30 boys turned up for this event. They
preformed a drama of Jagai and Madhai and it was wonderful. Guru Maharaja
then addressed the boy. It was around 11pm when Guru Maharaja arrived at his
residence and then Guru Maharaja took rest.
Sunday, 3 October
Today was packed day for Guru Maharaja. He had a Vyasa Puja to attend, a
Sunday feast lecture to give, a 3000 strong gathering of devotees in Russia
were awaiting Guru Maharaja”s lecture. There were no therapies lined up for
Guru Maharaja today. At about 10.30 Guru Maharaja left to Sri Jagannatha
Mandir. HH Prabha Vishnu Swami’s vyasa puja was celebrated on Friday, 1st of
October. But because Guru Maharaja was here, Maharaj’s disciple, HG Krishna
Candra das prabhu decided to celebrate the Vyasa Puja grandly in the
presence of Guru Maharaja and Bhakti Vrajendranandana Swami and all the
devotees.
Guru Maharaja was received very nicely and HG Krsna Candra das prabhu
glorified Guru Maharaja by saying that even though there are only 3
disciples of Prabha Vishnu Swami in the temple still all this elaborate
arrangement are made to celebrate the Vyasa Puja. Krishna Candra prabhu
thanks Guru Maharaja’s disciples for cooperating so nicely. Guru Maharajawas
happy to hear that his disciples were cooperating very nicely. There was
also an initiation ceremony scheduled today. By right the ceremony was
postponed to next Sunday but unfortunately one devotee has to travel
elsewhere for work and 2 other matajis had already booked their tickets
earlier. They were from Kuching. So Guru Maharaja instructed to arrange for
an initiation ceremony just for them. Guru Maharaja is so merciful.
Soon after the initiation, Guru Maharaja went into the temple’s conference
room to do a live broadcast with the Russian devotees. They were having a
festival and more than 3000 devotees turned up. Guru Maharaja had lunch
after that. Guru Maharaja only left the temple at about 3pm.
In the evening, there were no classes scheduled for Guru Maharaja. Guru
Maharaja took dinner and soon after that Guru Maharaja sat on his gym
bicycle to do some exercise. The bicycle brand was Victory so a devotee
commented that a victory bicycle for a victorious person will certainly
bring all victory. It was the birthday one disciple of Guru Maharaja, HG
Mohana Muralidhara das. His wife Amrta Sakhi mataji had bought a cake and
Guru Maharaja touched the cake to bless it. The cake was so tasty that the
devotees had a feast of the cake. The cake was baked by HG Amrta Gaurangi
mataji. Guru Maharaja was on the bicycle for a long time. Guru Maharaja
went to take rest at around 11pm.
