I join thousands of his friends, well-wishers, admirers, and disciples all over the world who are grateful he is still with us and recovering, against all odds. We are grateful to the doctors, who have worked with such dedication and expertise. But sometimes, despite the best doctors, even a patient with only a mild ailment may die, and sometimes even a patient with no doctor may survive the most severe threat. Finally, everything is up to Krishna. So above all we are grateful to Krishna, who has so kindly intervened in Jayapataka Swami's life.

An obituary I don't have to write | Jayadvaita Swami

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

Today the physiotherapists made Maharaja take a few steps with a lot of support and effort. He uses parallel bars and 4 people support him while he tries to take some steps.

Maharaja is still unable to sit on his own without support, but is getting more strength in his back daily.

He is gradually being encouraged to become independent in his eating by using the stronger hand, the left hand for eating.

Please continue to pray.
