29-Oct-08, 6.00pm report

Guru Maharaja had to be put on sedatives yesterday evening because when he
is conscious he asks the doctors to remove the tubes as it is uncomfortable
for him. The doctor’s plan was to start removing the ventilator today.

Today early in the morning Guru Maharaja came to awakeness from his sleeping
state. He asked again for clicker to chant mentally and chanted few mantras
on it after that he became tired and slept for a while. Since his condition
was stable the doctors put the ventilation off without removing the tubes to
check how Guru Maharaja was responding. For 2 hours Guru Maharaja was able
to breathe by himself but later felt uncomfortable therefore the ventilator
was turned on again. Since then Guru Maharaja is exhausted and is taking
rest.

Guru Maharaja’s sugar level is normal. His platelet count is 82,000 today.
Although his BP is fluctuating still nothing alarming.

The doctors will continue this process until he is able to breathe normally
without the help of ventilator. Let us keep intensely praying and chanting.
May Lord Krishna and Lord Narasimhadeva empower the doctors and nurses in
this process as well as to give strength to Guru Maharaja to crossover these
difficult moments.

Your humble servant,

Ratnavali dd
