23-Dec-08, Report from Jayapataka Swami

They are giving me intensive physiotheraphy treatment. Since two days they
asked me to, “Sit down, Stand up. Sit down, Stand up” like this for 10 times
(but with lesser support) to stimulate my leg muscles. They are also
teaching me to stand erect. Things that I used to do naturally I have to be
taught. Right eyebrow started to move today; beginning of facial muscles
unfreezing. They are giving me three kinds of therapies, physio, facial and
acupuncture. Acupuncture hurts me alot.

Note from Ratnavali: Dr.Shiromani Mataji and Ekanatha Gaura prabhu told me
that today morning after the physiotheraphy session, Guru Maharaja had
darshan of Srila Prabhupada in the ground floor and later he was taken in a
wheel chair to Jagannath Vallabha gardens inside the hospital complex. It is
a beautiful garden with so many vrndavan trees planted personally by a
vrajavasi. There are many fruit and flower bearing trees like kadamba,
parijata, chikoo, mango etc. This is the first time Guru Maharaja was taken
into an open area with grass. Guru Maharaja spent 15 min in the garden.

Later he was taken to the temple room of Bhaktivedanta hospital. It wasn’t
possible to take his wheel chair inside. So the local devotees held a mirror
in front of Jagannatha, Baladeva, Subhadra and Gaura Nitai Deities and Guru
Maharaja could take darshan of Their reflection!
