Dear Devotees and well-wishers,

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

We present our apologies for the late report tonight. We were at the hospital checking on Guru Maharaja until now. Tonight he is breathing without the ventilator. His condition is stable and he continues to be in the ICU. Although he feels quite strong physically, his breathing progress is still going on slowly.

However, the doctors are currently once again trying to see if he recuperates his breathing capacity fully. This was Guru Maharaja’s choice so we are attentive to his progress. This is in a way, a positive symptom but it is a matter of time to assess his overall situation and the pace in which he improves. 

We wanted to inform all of you about the circumstances in which Guru Maharaja is hospitalized here in Delhi. For everyone’s information the specialized liver hospital in which he is admitted, is considered one of the best Asia’s liver care hospitals. He is under the constant supervision of the chief specialist doctor of this institution.

With respect to the medical support in general, Guru Maharaja has with him one resident devotee doctor, and a specialist consulting doctor rotationally on call 24 hours a day. At the same time, a health forum comprising of a sizeable number of disciple-doctors support these two doctors. Altogether they have studied Guru Maharaja’s health very closely for several years now. This group of doctors stays in close liaison with the medical team in the Delhi hospital. Conclusively, Guru Maharaja is undoubtedly under the care of highly capable medical practitioners who posses exhaustive knowledge of his history and specific needs.

We want to assure the worldwide community of disciples and well wishers that the medical team attending to Guru Maharaja is extremely sensitive to his unique requirements. By the mercy of Lord Krsna and Srila Prabhupada, he is in very competent hands and we pray that he continues making steady progress to resume his glorious preaching service.

Please send your offerings to jpshealth108@gmail.com and we will make sure Guru Maharaja will be reported on this as soon as possible. We humbly request you to continue your sincere prayers and chanting for his fast recovery.

We will keep you informed through www.jayapatakaswami.com, JPS App (available on both iPhone and Android), and twitter (@jayapatakaswami).  

On Behalf of Guru Maharaja’s Health Team
