H.H. JAYAPATAKA MAHARAJ’S STATUS REPORT, 04-Nov-08, afternoon

By Dr Madhavananda das, Director of Bhaktivedanta Hospital

Maharaj’s consciousness has been stable and he responds to verbal commands
by opening his eyes or by facial expression. This has been up and down and
sometimes he is responsive and sometimes he is unresponsive.

He has been moving his left hand, the other limbs are not moving and is a
matter of concern.

The neurologist Dr PP Ashok and the itensivist Dr Hegde are monitoring him
closely. According to them things are taking their natural course and
recovery is a lengthy process.

Even though a decline in consciousness is observed since the last 3 days
and Maharaj remains critical, and he is in a state where things may go
wrong, there is no reason to believe that he will not recover. The prayers
must go on and that is the only factor which will change the course of
events.

Overall it can be summarized that
•       Maharaj’s condition is critical but stable
•       There is no further deterioration
•       He still responds to commands but not as much as 4 days back.
•       His blood pressure and other parameters like blood sugar,
potassium levels, platelets are stable.
•       Tomorrow they will again try to wean him from the ventilator.
•       The doctors from Bhaktivedanta Hospital are constantly in touch
with the treating doctors.
•       Prayers must continue.

Guru Maharaja consciousness level is fluctuating. The whole day yesterday
Guru Maharaja was only in the sleeping state, no response until 6.15pm. At
6.15pm when a devotee was reading Caitanya Caritamrta he opened his eye and
upon the instruction of the nurse when the devotee asked him to lift his
left hand he slowly lifted but he couldn’t move his other limbs although he
was trying. Soon after that Guru Maharaja again went to the sleeping state.
As per the doctor Guru Maharaja’s general body conditions like BP, sugar
level, pulse rate etc are stable except he has some chest pain.

At 2.30 am there was another devotee who was reciting Caitanya Caritamrta to
Guru Maharaja saw him opening his eye for 10min without any movement of
eyelids and also no other bodily movements.

Like this there is fluctuation of consciousness level. The different doctors
are going to meet today and later we will be sending it to you their report.

Your humble servant,

Pamho.AGTSP.
I was amazed when I met one very nice Godbrother Nitai Daya Pr. from Bosnia
who woke up yesterday 1 am to chant 108 Narayana Kavachas uninteruptedly for
GM protection. Took him 9 hours. When GM got ill his intense chanting
inspired me to also do something beyond my normal abilities.
The other devotee is chanting 250 Narasimha Kavachas daily, one doing
practically all day chanting.
I personally am chanting mula mantras of Sudarshana, Narasimha and Varaha
for GM protection summing up 20000 to 30000 daily. Takes me few hours. If
anyone has free time chanting of extra gayatris, Gopal mantras, Narasimha
mula mantras, etc. certainly will be very powerful.
Some may be feeling more confortable to chant longer mantras- etc few verses
or like kavachas, some more short like worship- mula mantras, or the ALL
POWERFUL HOLY NAME. No limit to what we can do for GM as seva.

03-Nov-08, 7.30 am report

Yesterday around 12am (midnight) by the mercy of Sri Sri Radha Rasabihariji,
Guru Maharaja opened his eyes. The nurse went and informed the servant of
Guru Maharaja who is usually in the waiting room. No attendant is allowed to
be inside after 11pm in the night. During the day only one attendant is
allowed to be besides Guru Maharaja. The attendant is generally reading
Caitanya Caritamrta to Guru Maharaja (even if conscious or not conscious) or
he is chanting his japa along with Srila Prabhupada’s japa which is
constantly being played. So the servant rushed inside and opened the
Caitanya Caritamrta and showed Srila Prabhupada’s picture in the book to
Guru Maharaja. Guru Maharaja looked at the picture for a while and he wanted
to say something but he was unable.

The nurse wanted to test the level of consciousness of Guru Maharaja. She
asked Guru Maharaja to raise the left hand and Guru Maharaja slowly lifted
his left hand. When he was asked to lift the right hand because of the
swelling he wasn’t able to. Then she asked to lift the right and left legs.
Guru Maharaja was trying but he was unable to. Since for the three days he
hasn’t been conscious and there were no movements so he his weak right now.

He is only 5% conscious right now. As long as Guru Maharaja is with life
support and in ICCU it is very critical. The conscious level keeps
fluctuating therefore we should keep praying and chanting for Guru Maharaja
intensely until he comes out of the ICCU.

Your humble servant,
