On 12th January, 2006
Gurumaharaj took a meeting as we had just finished the marathon. HG Nayika
mataji had distributed 108 small books. It is not a hyperbole to say that
she was the only mataji who used go for book distribution. Gurumaharaj gave
her a gift, his maha-cap and a maha-garland from Srimati Tulasi Devi.
This was the first time when she got a garland from Gurumaharaj. She was
really happy that day. In the evening HG Shyamali Radhika mataji took her
to the hospital, and after midnight, at 12:35, she gave birth to a very
beautiful baby. After Mangla arati, when I went to see her, she asked me
to sing guruvastakam, and while I was singing, tears were flowing from her
eyes. I remember, it was the most special movement I had with her. After 3
days, Kamanagari, a very cute Russian young devotee lady, brought the baby
in Mangla arati. Then HG Balabhdra prabhu took her to Gurumaharaj,
Gurumaharaj looked at her, she was sleeping. It was so amazing
and interesting to see that Gurumaharaj wanted to see her eyes,
before giving name, and for that he softly pinched the feet of the baby to
which she responded by opening her eyes. Gurumaharaj gave her a wonderful
and lovely name, ‘Nayana Manjari’. Everybody joyfully chanted ‘hari
bol’ When Nayana was 2 months old, she started to come magala arati with
mataji. In Aug, 2006, on Srila Prabhupada’s appearance day, Gurumaharaj
did her ‘annaprasan’, i.e., grain giving ceremony. On her second birthday,
Gurumaharaj was in Ujjain. She was beautifully dressed in pink or violet
frilled frock. Seeing her Gurumaharaj commented, ‘Nayana is looking like a
princess’. While cutting cake she was crying a lot, seeing this
Gurumaharaj added, ‘she is behaving like a princess too’. Her third
birthday was also celebrated in Gurumaharaj’s presence.
