31-Oct-08, 6.30pm report

I have been informed that many devotees are worried as they didn’t hear any
reports today. We are sorry for that. The reason is, the Mumbai Management
has asked the devotees’ and servants to shift from the Guest rooms as all
their rooms have been booked in advance for 3 to 4 months. Actually the
Mumbai Management is not encouraging any one to visit without advance
booking.

After the tracheostomy yesterday, Guru Maharaja is not fully conscious. He
is resting.

Only once this morning he opened his eyes and after that he is resting
again. At 1.30pm they have turned off the ventilator system. Guru Maharaja
was able to breathe by himself until 7.30pm. They didn’t want to strain Guru
Maharaja and therefore they have turned on the ventilator system again.

The BP is on the higher side but the doctors say it is alright. The sugar
level is normal. The platelet count is 98,000 today.

Subhag Maharaja and all the senior devotees are asking us to chant and pray
more for our Guru Maharaja’s recovery. Only Lord Krishna can perform
miracles and without his blessings nothing can happen. As long as Guru
Maharaja is in the ICCU his situation is still critical. Guru Maharaja
appeared in a dream to a devotee yesterday and said, “Please keep on
chanting. That gives me strength.”

Your humble servant,

Ratnavali dd
