Dear devotees,Please accept my humble obeisances.All glories to Srila Prabhupada!Since 21st December High Hopes Rehabilitation Center has holidays GuruMaharaja has a break of his therapy. He has a lot of homework to do in themeantime, walking a certain number of steps and other excercises. He has aprivate therapyst visiting him, and additional chiropractic treatment stillgoing on. Ones a week he goes to do the therapy in the pool, and twice aweek in a gym.Wherever Guru Maharaja is going as a patient, he's trying in the same timeto share the message of Krishna consiousness to the people and therapiststhat he meets. He always makes sure they're getting prasadam and hedistributed the Christmas gifts to the staff of the clinic, and participatedin the gift exchange of the patients. While taking breakfast with HHRadhanatha Swami last week, before Radhanatha Swami left LA, he wastelling him about the doctors and nurses and about their reaction onprasadam and vegetarianism. He was going into details of what they like anddon't like and how he's thinking of making them more favorable to spirituallife and vegetarianism. Radhanatha Swami made a comment: "Jayapataka Swamiis more concerned about the doctors than the doctors are concerned abouthim!"Like always, Guru Maharaja is concerned for the spiritual health of thepeople he meets, and for the wellbeing of devotees who are around him.Yesterday for the Christmas Eve devotees organized a little party in GuruMaharaja's appartment, and Guru Maharaja distributed gifts for everyone. Wehad a nice prasadam made by united efforts of different devotees. Manydevotees gave their gifts to Guru Maharaja, and we had a gift exchangebetween devotees too. After the party, Guru Maharaja expressed his attitudeto Sarva Sakti who organized an event, and said how it is very important tomake devotees happy. He was very satisfied by seing devotees happy andunited in the service to each other.Today for the Christmas day Guru Maharaja gave a class in the temple. He wasquoting Srila Prabhupada's conversation with the father Emanuel, how he wasglorifying the good qualities of Lord Jesus and his teachings, thatunfortunately, Christians are not following in the same manner anymore.
