Once we touched the ground, both of us began to jump up and down and dance wildly with hands in the air. People began to cheer. They clapped louder. Some were standing on chairs to look at us. Adam prabhu later told us that he was so ecstatic to see us jump and dance like it was in the temple. Adam prabhu is only 18 years old but he sings so beautifully and every time I have seen him perform, people love it. And this evening was no different. Everyone could sense the pure love and devotion in his singing. The singing, dancing and cheering converted what was a silent tent into a party frenzy.

Thanks to Manoj and Bhakta and his team for arranging a successful outing.

Report on the Rye Interfaith Festival - Manoj

Status report by Dr Madhavananda das, Director of Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai

Maharaja is recovering well. He has been off the ventilator for 72 hours now. He is fully conscious and alert.

Maharaja will be shifted out of the ICU into the ward in the next few days. You may have read that he would be shifted out in the afternoon or tomorrow, but that is not the fact.

Additional note by Dr Shiromani devi dasi: In the morning, the neurologist Dr PP Ashok merely suggested shifting Maharaja out of the ICU but this news was not put out by the Bhaktivedanta doctors because the decision to shift him out of the ICU had to be made by the intensivist Dr Hegde. In the afternoon when Dr Hegde came, he did not agree to shift Maharaja out of the ICU today, but in the next few days.
