HH Jayapataka Maharaj’s status report by Dr Madhavananda das, Director of
Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai
Maharaj is doing very well. Yesterday he was off the ventilator for 15
hours. Again today, he has been off the ventilator since morning.
Optimistically, Maharaj should be able to completely come off the
ventilator in 2-3 days.
Dr Ashok, the neurologist said intially they had no hope, but Maharaj’s
recovery is a miracle. He was optimistic about Maharaj’s ongoing recovery
as well. They plan to do an intensive rehabilitation once Maharaj is off
the ventilator.
Dr Ashok said that optimisically looking at it, Maharaj will recover to the
degree that he can manage himself independently.
A speech valve was placed today morning. It takes Maharaj some effort to
speak. He said ‘Hare Krishna’, ‘Gauranga’ and asked to visit the ISKCON
temple.
Please continue your prayers.
