He is a devotee of Lord Krishna, who played a mentor and charioteer of Arjun during one of the fiercest battles -- the Mahabharat.

But, he does not lead the people into battle, instead, helps people and communities resolve conflicts before they get trapped in the cumbersome legal battle.

Meet Braja Bihari Dasa or Brian Bloch, who heads Vrindaban-based Iskcon Resolve and in charge of Iskcon-run conflict resolving centres in 103 countries.

A resolve to end conflicts The Telegraph - Kolkata

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

Today Maharaja was taken to the physiotherapy department where he was made to stand with support for about 20 minutes in two sessions. He was holding on to a set of parallel bars on either side of him, with about 4 physiotherapists helping him to stand straight. Maharaja put in a lot of effort to stand up and is looking forward to his next session tomorrow. He even asked the physiotherapist about when he would be taking baby steps. The physiotherapist told him to first start standing on his own and then they would proceed to baby steps.

He was also made to do different exercises to strengthen his right arm which is weak.

Maharaja is stable otherwise.
