Srila Gurudeva’s health update

 

Dear Devotees and dear Friends,

please accept our dandavats pranams. All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga and all glories to Sri Sri Radha Vinode Bihariji.

We know that all of you are waiting for more news about Srila Gurudeva’s physical condition. The last days have been very trying for all us, sometimes moving forwards, and sometimes moving backwards. At times we are very hopeful and other times we are hopeless. Srila Gurudeva is churning our hearts, uniting us as a real family, and making us more and more attached to him.

Srila Gurudeva is resting well, his bowel movements are good and all his vital signs are normal. He very patiently takes the medical protocols that we described in our previous update. He tries to drink & eat the liquid preparations that we offer him. But this is not always easy due to mucus buildup and due to his lack of appetite. Since today we are using a nebulizer to get rid of excessive mucus. This has brought a lot of relief.

Almost every morning and afternoon he sits outside on the swing for more than an hour, giving darshan to the devotees assembled on the lawn below. Srila Gurudeva is very merciful and allows so many devotees to render affectionate services.

But we are still a long way from complete success. It can go either way, all depending on the causeless mercy of Sri Giriraja, Srila Gurudeva’s own desire, and our prayers. Please continue to pray and serve together for the pleasure of Srila Gurudeva. He is our everything, the life of our lives, the only wealth in the entire universe.

Vaisnavadasanudasa & aspirant for the service of Sri Guru and Vaisnavas
Swami B.V. Madhava & Brajanath dasa
