HH Jayapataka Maharaj’s status report by Dr Madhavananda das, Director of
Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai
Maharaj’s consciousness level is getting better day by day. Dr Ashok, the
neurologist commented that Maharaj is doing very well and he is very happy
with his improvement. He said that Maharaj asked him through sign
language, “Who are you?”. He said that the power in Maharaj’s limbs is
stronger and that Maharaj held his hand tightly today. The previous day
Maharaj was off the ventilator for six hours. Dr Ashok said that they’re
going to put a speech valve which will allow Maharaj to speak in a day or
two.
Today Maharaj has been off the ventilator since 11.30 am. It has already
been 7 hours since he has been off it.
Maharaj is continuing a few teaspoons of oral feeds.
As for his critcal condition, he is not as critical as he was on the first
ten days.
Please continue to pray intensely.
