Yesterday around 12am (midnight) by the mercy of Sri Sri Radha Rasabihariji,
Guru Maharaja opened his eyes. The nurse went and informed the servant of
Guru Maharaja who is usually in the waiting room. No attendant is allowed to
be inside after 11pm in the night. During the day only one attendant is
allowed to be besides Guru Maharaja. The attendant is generally reading
Caitanya Caritamrta to Guru Maharaja (even if conscious or not conscious) or
he is chanting his japa along with Srila Prabhupada’s japa which is
constantly being played. So the servant rushed inside and opened the
Caitanya Caritamrta and showed Srila Prabhupada’s picture in the book to
Guru Maharaja. Guru Maharaja looked at the picture for a while and he wanted
to say something but he was unable.

The nurse wanted to test the level of consciousness of Guru Maharaja. She
asked Guru Maharaja to raise the left hand and Guru Maharaja slowly lifted
his left hand. When he was asked to lift the right hand because of the
swelling he wasn’t able to. Then she asked to lift the right and left legs.
Guru Maharaja was trying but he was unable to. Since for the three days he
hasn’t been conscious and there were no movements so he his weak right now.

He is only 5% conscious right now. As long as Guru Maharaja is with life
support and in ICCU it is very critical. The conscious level keeps
fluctuating therefore we should keep praying and chanting for Guru Maharaja
intensely until he comes out of the ICCU.

Your humble servant,

Ratnavali dd
