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

Maharaja is continuing to show steady improvement. Yesterday he was made to sit on the edge of the bed with legs hanging down and support at the back. He's also made to sit on a chair(with support) daily for 4 to 5 hours during which he does hand and leg exercises. He is being fed soft solids orally.

Maharaja had fever this morning. The doctors have sent his blood and urine cultures to find the source of infection and have started him on antibiotics. By evening his fever had settled.

Please continue your prayers.

I don't know if you've noticed but we've been experiencing crippling intermittent service from our Internet service provider for the last couple of days. The problem was at the local South Melbourne exchange and it appears to have settled down now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Report on the Rye Interfaith Festival - Manoj

Aniruddha — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 03:36:35 GMT

A comprehensive and entertaining report from the weekend at Rye...

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.

Aniruddha — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 03:26:26 GMT

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.

Ekanath Gaura prabhu is in the hospital today for the morning shift. Dr. PP Ashok visited Guru Maharaja and he said Guru Maharaja can move out of the ICCU today. Dr. Hegde has to decide yet.

Ekanath Gaura prabhu asked Guru Maharaja if he has any message to all the devotees and Guru Maharaja dictated the following:

Hello. Hello. Hare Krsna! 30 days I am here. I am very tired. Doctor says I am out of danger. GAURANGA!!

Ekanath Gaura prabhu passed on this message to me through the mobile so it can be immediately posted to all of you.

Rasanandini — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 12:30:27 GMT

An email just arrived from Jayapataka Maharaja's disciple Ratnavali Prabhavi:

Dear Devotees,...Yesterday Guru Maharaja for the first time spoke few words with great difficulty. The speech was recorded by Ekanath Gaura prabhu with his team members. HH Radhanatha Swami Maharaja, HH Bhakti Purushottam Swami Maharaja, HG Braja Hari prabhu and Ananda Tirtha Prabhu went to see Guru Maharaja. The doctors placed the speaking valve to enable him to speak...

Hearing [this] one can understand how Krsna Conscious Guru Maharaja is. He is setting the best example for all us to follow.

Note: Certain parts of the speech is not audible.

JPS: 24hrs ...I can say a few words on this contraption. I can speak a few words on this contraption...
RNS: You are making great progress!
JPS: All by your mercy.
RNS: All the doctors are amazed by the miracle how you are making progress. I think after a few days they can take all these machines off of you.
JPS: I was literally leaving and lying ...I was sleeping... it's all your good association.
RNS: I have been feeling so much of separation from your association, Maharaja.
JPS: I want to stand up. I want to try to stand up.
EGD: You want to stand up?
RNS: Maharaja, after few days you will dance, after few days you will stand up and after sometime you will be dancing.
JPS: Doctor told you? ... the other doctor.. that doctor...
EGD: Ya, doctor said you will be able to walk. Walking no problem he said.
BHD: Doctor told today to Gopal Krsna Maharaja that you will become a very, very normal person. Don't worry.
JPS: I have so much pain. I have to lie flat or I can walk?
EGD: He said you can walk.
JPS: ....
BHD: If we press do you feel much better?
BPS: Guru Maharaja, can you move your legs?
BHD: Can you move your legs Guru Maharaja, little bit? We want to see whether you can move your legs.

RNS: Your breathing is excellent. Everything is very good. We are all happy to see that you are recovering.

RNS: We were in Vrndavana for almost 3 weeks. We had 4,000 devotees from different parts of the world on our yatra and we dedicated the yatra to you.Every lecture we began by speaking about you and we had all the 4,000 devoteees praying for your recovery and for your good health.
JPS: I don't deserve it.
RNS: Every holy place that we went, we were also at Govardhan parikrama, we were all praying for you. All thousands and thousands of devotees we were in Vrndavan meditating on our love and gratitude to you and praying to Sri Radha and Krsna to help you to recover. All over the world the devotees are united in doing kirtan and praying for your good health. It was beautiful before each evening lecture all the 4,000 devotees were together and we would begin by hearing an update and the report of your health condition and then we would speak about you and then we would all take some minutes in prayer for you and kirtan for you. It is beautiful to see how much devotees love you from their heart and hearts with such deep gratitude for your compassion and a lifetime of devotional service. Even non-devotee doctors and nurses are developing faith by seeing how miraculously Krsna is healing you. Even in this condition you are preaching, uniting devotees hearts, giving people faith. There is nothing that can be done to keep you from being an empowered preacher. You're seriously affecting devotees hearts. It brings us joy to see this. Especially brings us joy to see how miraculously you are recovering.
RNS and devotees: Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare / Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.
JPS: Hare Krsna. I want my walking stick.
Devotees: Walking stick. We have. We have.

Devotees: you will walk. (laughter)

Devotees: Ya, good to cough.
BHD: Doctor said that if you are coughing it is good for you.
RNS: It is auspicious.
BHD: Sign of improvement.
RNS: It is auspicious.
BHD: Guru Maharaja here is Ananda Tirtha.
ATD: Arguments are going on. ...arguments started yesterday.
JPS: In the Higher Court?

JPS: I think it is ....
RNS: ....will come back to see you after sometime. Please rest.
ATD: So many devotees are praying for you Guru Maharaja. Because we want you back.
JPS: I heard that you're ... (unclear)
Ekanath Gaura: It's okay Guru Maharaja...We can finish this conversation later....

Special thanks to Ekanath Gaura prabhu and Acintya Nitai prabhu for having the MP3 recorder at the right moment and recording the talk; for Tirthatma Nitai prabhu who did audio editing and to provide the url link so everyone could hear the transcendental conversation; and for Braja Sevaki Mataji who assisted in the transcription.

Aniruddha — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:35:20 GMT

Status report by Dr Madhavananda Das, Director of Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai...

The neurologist was happy to see Maharaja fully alert and conscious. Maharaja feels hungry and asks to be fed. He takes a few teaspoons of semisolid food 2-3 times a day.

The weaning from the ventilator is going on. Today they weaned him off the ventilatory support at 2.30 pm. We are waiting and watching for how long he can sustain respiration without the ventilatory support.

The progress he is making is very heartening to see and the neurologist and intensivist are happy with this positive outcome and feel that very soon he will be able to pull through without ventilatory support.

Maharaja is much less critical as compared to the first 10 days of his admission in ICU.

Please continue to pray intensely.

Report by Dr Madhavananda Das, Director of Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai...

Maharaja is more alert and is able to clearly understand what is being spoken to him. He is trying to communicate using the alphabet board and through his hand movements (which are limited due to weakness). Today HH Sacinandana Maharaja and HH Candramauli Maharaja came to visit him. They had a lively interaction with him. When HH Sacinandana Maharaja told Maharaja that he had come earlier also to visit him, Maharaja showed two fingers indicating that he remembers that Sacinandana Maharaja had come twice to meet him which was accurate.

Maharaja ate a few teaspoons of khitchri today. His nutrition is still being maintained by naso gastric feeds like before.

Maharaja is still on ventilatory support. The weaning process is going on. Please continue your intense prayers for his quick recovery.

HH Jayapataka Maharaja is stable in terms of consciousness. Using an alphabet chart made by the devotees, Maharaja indicated the spelling of 'Haribol'. When he was asked whether he was saying Haribol to all the devotees around the world, Maharaja emphatically nodded yes.

Dr NF Shah, the endocrinologist was quite positive today as the insulin requirements are reducing which is a good sign, a sign of gradual progressive recovery with decreasing stress levels.

However, Maharaja still requires ventilatory support.

Please continue to pray intensely.

Temple Renovations

Aniruddha — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 16:08:49 GMT

Work has been underway whilst we've been away. For everyone at the temple this has simply been a work in progress for the last month. For those of us who've been away these shots look great. The plumbing behind the wall in the bathroom had to be replaced since it was leaking into the theatre. The new carpet on the stairs looks inviting. The stair rods should be installed by next week. We've got more plans to fix the theatre and reception but our funds are running out so it might take a little time to manifest.

Prabhu is also looking into the installation of a grey water recycling system for watering the garden which I have been told is looking very good. If the water restrictions are increased at the end of November then this may be our only option for watering the garden. One cycle of washing uses almost 180 litres of water. If we use the correct detergent and install the system we can put this straight onto the garden. Looking after temple maintenance is a never ending job.

Jagannath Sena denounces untimely Rath Yatra and burns Prabhupada's picture

Aniruddha — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:27:02 GMT

ISKCON has popularised Ratha-yatra all over the world and is now criticised and effigies of Prabhupada are burnt. What is going on here...?

Followers of Lord Jagannath have taken strong exception to the proposed Rath Yatra by ISKCON being organised in Delhi on November 23, in contravention to the religious practices. Jagannath Sena denounced the untimely observance of Rath Yatra of the Trinity and warned ISKCON to desist from such a practice, failing which, the Sena would ban entry of ISKCON devotees into the Pilgrim City...

...Earlier on Tuesday, Sena activists burnt the founder of ISKCON in effigy in front of the Jagannath temple.

Dear Maharajas, Prabhus, & Matajis,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

This is to bring to your notice that HH Jayapataka Maharaja is in a very crucial state of recovery; but, he is not out of a critical condition. The doctors have warned us that any little infection, that he get, in this critical condition could endanger his life to the extent of being fatal.

With folded hands I beg you to not try to come and visit him because the doctors have issued a strict warning, "NO VISITORS AT ALL!" Kindly bear with me.

Please continue your prayers and chanting and that is very important for his recovery.

Hare Krishna
