BP is stable now. Guru Maharaja is tired and weak. As today is Diwali it is
a holiday and it is one of the most celebrated occasions in India and
therefore the main doctors were not there to supervise the removing of
ventilator. They are planning to start the process tomorrow morning. Having
the tubes all over and lying down on one spot for so many days is very
painful. Guru Maharaja feels the pain, it is even painful to open the eyes
or to move his limbs. He feels hunger which is a good sign. According to the
doctors they say Guru Maharaja is making nice progress although it seems to
be slow for all of us. Everyone is waiting to see him out of the ICCU but it
will take few more days.

The above quotes from HH Bhakti-tirtha Swami may give us a hint how
everybody of us can contribute to Guru-Maharaja’s health recovery,
does not matter in which part of the world we are. As we know, HH
Bhakti-tirtha Swami had a strong bond of love with Guru-Maharaja.

Quotes from HH Bhakti-tirtha Swami (seminar in Croatia 2001) :

“… As the disciples become stronger, the spiritual masters become also
stronger. Each of you wether you are initiated or not, you have a
distinct influence on your gurus consciousness. It is like team work. A
team is as strong as all of its players. So, as you do your service with
care
and devotion, you actually help to bring more strength and protection to
your spiritual masters. As you allow yourself to become weak and
deviant, then you make it more complex and difficult what the spiritual
master has to do. According to the kind of potency he has and the kind
of guru that your spiritual master is, it will also have an influence on
how much he is able to deal with the negativity that you present or that
you have. If the gurus capacity is not so strong and too many disciples
are also deviant, then there will be trouble. If you engage in sins
after you have made your vows, then it is as if you take a brick and
throw him at his head. Because as you make such vows and you deviate it
is like you are attacking your spiritual master. But the opposite is
there also. As you do your services with devotion and care, then even
though your guru is in the other part of the world you are sending him
an exchange of love and protection.
Sometimes the spiritual master leaves the planet early according to his
quality and sometimes according to the deviations of the disciples.
Sometimes the spiritual masters body becomes very ill due to the
deviations or sins of the disciples. ”

BTS 2005: ” The best way to keep anyone alive is by following their
instructions and examplifying their teachings, not just individually but
also as a community. ”

Dr Hegde came to check Guru Maharaja today and the doctor said he looks
better than yesterday and there is no need to panic. Guru Maharaja’s is
feeling very uncomfortable with the tubes and asking everyone to remove
them. So the doctor has given the nurses and local duty doctors to remove
the ventilator. They are planning how to do it. The process usually takes
between 24 to 48 hours. They are praying that everything would go smoothly.

The cardiologist also came to see Guru Maharaja and he said it is natural
for the BP to fluctuate. They are giving the BP medicines under his
guidance.

Guru Maharaja asked one senior disciple signaling to get him a clicker to
chant. Since that devotee had his and Guru Maharaja took it from him and he
is chanting mentally the maha mantra on the clicker slowly.

Your humble servant,

The blood pressure of Guru Maharaja is fluctuating (goes up and down between
high and normal). The platelets have gone down to 69,000. The normal
platelets count under this situation should be above 1 lakh. Sugar is
normal. Sometimes he moves his limbs and opens his eyes voluntarily.
Although no devotees have visited in the evening still his BP is high and
the doctors are concerned about it. Magnesium has gone up from a previously
low level to a slightly higher level. (It is a good symptom for blood
coagulation) Brain activity is stable. Pulse rate is very stable. Let’s keep
praying to Lord Krsna for Guru Maharaja’s health.

Your humble servant,

The doctors are happy with the progress. In fact they are amazed how Guru
Maharaja is making fast recovery in comparison to other similar cases. They
say it is a miracle. Although they wanted to take off the ventilator because
of the unstable BP they don’t want to do it today. Hasty decision might
become dangerous at this time so the doctors are very careful. His sugar
level is alright. Guru Maharaja is moving his limbs on his own and opens is
eyes now and then on his own.

No devotees are absolutely allowed in the hospital to see Guru Maharaja as
he gets emotional and that increases his BP. Atleast for 2 to 3 days NO
DEVOTEES WILL BE ALLOWED may it be senior devotees or GBCs, TPs etc. Please
stay where you are and pray and chant for Gurudeva to heal faster.

Your humble servant,

Ratnavali dd

Based on yesterday’s observation and the instructions are still applicable
although there are some improvements in Guru Maharaja’s health today:
