Dear Prabhus and Maharajas,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Maharaja’s rate of improvement is very slow. His blood pressure, blood
sugar, platelets, etc. are stable. We have consulted other neurologists and
surgeons in India, from Delhi, Bhubanesvara, Tirupati, Mumbai, Bangalore,
etc. Everyone is of the same opinion: the situation is very critical.
No surgery can be performed, and there is no medicine that can be given. The
brain stem hemorrhage was very serious, and if the bleeding had continued
there would have been no chance of survival. Fortunately Maharaja’s bleeding
has stopped, which is why there is hope of recovery. But there is no
treatment for it: it has to heal on its own.
That means it is completely in the hands of Sri Krishna. Intense prayer to
the Lord is the only hope. The doctors are simply trying to maintain
Maharaja’s health so he remains stable, so he may recover on his own.
Nothing more can be done at this point. The current problem is the blood
clot in the brain stem. It cannot be dissolved by medicine, nor operated
upon. It has to dissolve on it’s own.
At this point we have to simply wait, depending upon the mercy of the Lord.
Accoridng to the doctors, even if everything goes OK it will be a long
period of healing. The hospital has now allowed for a devotee to be with
Maharaja always, reading Srila Prabhupada’s book and chanting.
According to the doctors, only when Maharaja is free from danger and the
ventilaion is removed will he be transferred to a separate room. Then more
devotees can visit.
After some time I will try to give some more details of how things are
to be handled here in Mumbai in regards to the health treatment of Maharaja.
Your servant,
Bhakti Purusottama Swami
