HH Jayapataka Maharaj’s status report by Dr Madhavananda das, Director of
Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai
Maharaj’s consciousness remains the same as yesterday. He is responding and
trying to communicate.
The ventilator support is low, but he still requires the ventilator. Trials
for removing him from the ventilator are going on. Maharaj remains to be
critical because he still needs the ventilator support. Please cotninue to
pray sincerely and intensely.
La siguiente carta fue escrita por Devakinandan prabhu de Singapore. El es un discipulo de (viejo) Mahavishnu Swami Maharaja. Esta carta fue escrita a Kavicandra Maharaja quien actualmente esta presente en Mumbai y regularmente visita GM para dar su asociacion trascendental.
Esta carta nos puede brindar gran fe e inspiracion para continuar orando por nuestro GM. Los doctores estan en el proceso de quitar el respirador. Este es el mayor obstaculo por ahora dado que los otros parametros parecen estar estables por la misericordia de Sri Sri Radha Rasabihariji y las amadas Señorias de nuestro
Guru Maharaja, Sri Sri Radha Madhava y el Señor Narasimhadeva.
Su humilde sirviente,
Ratnavali dd

Esta mañana GM continuo con su lucha. Revati Raman volvio, masajeo sus extremidades y GM fue movido para ver a mas devotos mayores visitarlo. Nuevamente mas lagrimas mientras el levantaba su mano izquierda en reconocimiento. Mas cartas fueron leidas de Badri Narayana, Lila Sukta, Niranjana Swami y
Aniruddha en Melbourne. GM escucho las carta atentamente en contemplacion. Luego el cambio su atencion a la lectura del CC. Hoy fue el tour del Señor Caitanya por el sur de la India.
Los doctores han traido un ‘equipo de respiracion’ que se especializa en sacar a los pacientes del respirador. Mientras yo estaba ahi se lo sento a GM, respirando completamente por si mismo (alrededor de 80 minutos… sabremos mañana cuanto a travez del dia). Fue dificil para El y su respiracion fue ruidosa. Esta posicion tambien es buena para despejar mucosidad del sistema.
Aparte del regreso de GM, parece ser que nosotros somos a los que se les esta dando una ‘segunda oportunidad’ en Su servicio. Por favor sigan con sus oraciones positivas y el Señor seguramente reciprocara. Diariamente mas y mas cartas llegan con una preocupacion unificadora.
Por cierto… la noche anterior se le canto el Damodarastaka a GM lo cual trajo lagrimas a sus ojos… los devotos se emocionaron tanto que se olvidaron el resto de la letra…

The following letter is written by Devakinandan prabhu from Singapore. He is
a disciple of (old) Mahavishnu Swami Maharaja. This letter was written to
Kavicandra Maharaja who is at present here in Mumbai and regularly visiting
Guru Maharaja to give his transcendental association.
This letter can give us great faith and inspiration to continue to pray for
our Guru Maharaja. The doctors are in the process to wean the ventilator.
This is a biggest hurdle for now as other parameters seem to be stable with
the mercy of Sri Sri Radha Rasabihariji and the beloved Lordships of our
Guru Maharaja, Sri Sri Radha Madhava and Lord Narasimhadeva.
Your humble servant,
Ratnavali dd

Hare Krsna Maharaj,
Please accept my dandavats at your lotus feet! All glories to Srila
Prabhupada!
I have been reading the regular updates on the transcendental progress of
H.H Jayapataka Swami Mahraj in Mumbai. I wanted to inform you Maharaj that
devotees have daily been offering Nrsimha kavacas in Singapore. For the
public programmes, we have been chanting one round of japa together and 1
round of the kavaca together. We have had 4 special japa sessions (once
every week). We are all praying for Maharaj’s recovery.
Personally, Maharaj’s present state reminded me very much of my Guru
Maharaj’s condition 8-9 years ago and I wanted to share it with you Maharaj
because it gives me great faith in the Lord.
Guru Maharaj was diagnosed with brain stem bleeding and infarction to the
left side of the brain. There were at least 2 major areas of bleeding in the
brain and an embolism in the left lung. Doctors were not hopeful because of
his age and the very nature of the medical condition. He also could not move
his limbs. They told me that even if he regains consciousness, he would
either live and become a vegetable or he would not make it. The 13 hours of
flight to London was the most tortuous I had ever taken because I had no
idea what to expect when I arrived in London.
When I did, and rushed into the hospital, I found Guru Maharaj putting up
both his hands high above his head and saying “Haribol”. Yet skeptical
doctors cautioned me not to be very pleased as the bleeding was still there,
but they could not explain how Maharaj was conscious despite the bleeding.
It confounded them totally.
In the next 72 critical hours, Maharaj got the small team of us disciples to
daily do mangal arati at his bedside – and continuously chant Srimad
Bhagavatam and particularly Narayana Kavaca from 6th Canto. Midway through
the week, a 2nd embolism began to form in Maharaj’s lung, and the doctors
got worried that this would spell trouble. Guru Maharaj’s purity got him
through that to. He told us that we should never underestimate the power of
devotional service – the process Srila Prabhupada has given us is complete
and pure – we just have to sincerely follow it and Krsna will always protect
us. He also told me that Krsna sends 2 kinds of diseases – the 1st can be
cured when we try. The 2nd no matter how we try cannot be cured – that
means the only cure to that disease is death.
Guru Mahraj suffered very much, from my material vision. The pain and
numbness alternately tortured his old body, but I realised that he was
transcendental to pain.
That is why Maharaj I am very hopeful of Jayapataka Mahraj’s recovery.
Just wanted to share this with you Maharaj..
Your servant
Devakinandan Das
11:00am
This morning GM continued his fight forward. Revati Raman has returned,
massaged GM’s limbs and GM was moved to see more of his senior devotees come
to him. Again more tears as he lifted his left hand to acknowledge. More
letters were read from Badri Narayana, Lila Sukta, Niranjana Swami and
Aniruddha in Melbourne. GM attentively head these letters in contemplation.
Then he shifted his attention to the CC readings. Today was Lord Caitanya’s
tour of South India.
The doctors had brought in a ‘breathing team’ that specializes in weaning
patients of the ventilator set up. While I was there GM was brought to the
sitting position breathing completely on his own(around 80 minutes..we will
find out tomorrow how long throughout the day). It was difficult for him and
his breathing was loud. This position is good also to clear mucus from the
system.
Apart from a come back for GM, it appears that we are the ones being given
a ‘second chance’ in service to him. Please keep up your positive prayers
and the Lord will certainly reciprocate. Daily more and more letters are
coming in with a common unifying concern.
Btw…last night the Damodarastakam was sung to GM which brought tears to
his eyes…the devotees were so moved that they forgot the rest of the
lines…
Best wishes
Your servant
Bhaktisiddhanta Swami

Reporte de estado de SS Jayapataka Maharaj por Dr Madhavanada Das, Director del Hospital Bhaktivedanta, Mumbai
Los doctores trataron hoy de sacar a Maharaj del respirador por 2 horas. Ahora esta de vuelta con el respirador. Dijeron que va a tomarle su tiempo.
La conciencia de Maharaj es la misma de ayer.
Por favor continuen orando intensamente. Maharaj permanece critico dado que sigue en el respirador.
Message from Bhakti Purusottama Maharaja
————————————-
But my humble request to all devotees around the world is that they kindly
do not relax their prayers, chanting, and kirtans on hearing this news. The
doctors are giving no medicine, as there is nothing to give and no surgery
is possible. That means the only improvement we see now is due ONLY to the
medicine of prayers from the devotees around the world, and the chanting of
the holy names.
Every little step towards improvement that Maharaja makes is fully dependent
on how seriously devotees are chanting and praying. This is the only way he
will recover.
I humbly request all devotees to continue your prayers to the Lord for the
recovery of our beloved Guru Maharaja, His Holiness Jayapataka Swami.
Thank you very much.
Your humble servant
Bhakti Purusottama Swami

The doctors tried to wean Maharaj from the ventilator for 2 hours today. He
is back on the ventilator now. The doctors said it will take its own time.
Maharaj’s consciousness is the same as yesterday.
Please continue to pray intensely. Maharaj remains critical as he is still
on the ventilator.
