His Divine Presence Transforms a Hospital Into a Tīrtha

We received the message that Gurudeva is performing the pastimes of illness and whoever wants darśana should go to Guwahati. I was in the office then. The next day six of us traveled by flight from Pune to Guwahati.

In the afternoon we arrived in Guwahati and went straight to the hospital (GNRC). We had darśana of Gurudeva from very far as he lay inside the room. That time he was fully unconscious. We had gotten a message from the sevāk team that the situation was very serious.  

Gurudeva was on the fourth floor initially. We came back and there was a hall nearby the hospital where devotees would just sit and have conversation. The only topic of conversation was centered around Gurudeva. Everyone's attention was on the floor where Gurudeva was—that was the point from where the soul of that environment existed, the soul of the hospital. There was not even a single time I felt that I am visiting a hospital. It was an environment like the maṭha.

Everybody was concerned about Gurudeva's health, even the shopkeepers nearby. Whoever was in the vicinity came to know that there was one saint who is admitted to this hospital and they became very interested. Some of them also came to have darśana.

When you go to a hospital for your own problem or for those of your relatives or any other person, you don't want to stay for more than one or two hours. It feels stressful and sad. Whereas when Gurudeva was there, that atmosphere was such that we did not want to come out even for prasādam, sleep, or anything. It was fully centered on that room where Gurudeva was– an incredibly potent spiritual atmosphere.

  2. Hare Krsihna, We were also in the hospital, the day when Guru Maharaj was admitted in the hospital, we got a call from HH Madhusudan Maharaj, and I along with family and some devotees, took a flight to Guwahati and same day went for this darshan and met Prasad Pr ji in GNRC and fortunately got the darshan of Srila Guru Maharaj. We were morose to see the condition of Srila Guru Maharaj, but over the days we found that so many devotees are coming and we all are performing kirtan in the vicinity of hospital exactly below the window of Srila Guru Maharaj, then I realised that Guru Maharaj ji can convert any place in to the Golok dham in whatever state of physical condition he is in. Truely that experience was out of this world. Thanks Nandulal Pr for reminding us the same. Dandvats to All. Keep blessing. Hare Krishna.
