Dear Godbrothers, Godsisters, and well-wishers of HH Niranjana Swami,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Two days ago, Maharaja had an angiography performed in Kolkata to determine the extent of blockage in his arteries. The result of the procedure showed that there is significant blockage in three of his arteries.
To date, symptoms have been very rare. Guru Maharaja has had no cardiovascular events. He is not in any pain.
Still, the cardiologist who performed the angiography strongly recommended bypass surgery as soon as possible to prevent any serious complications in the future. Maharaja wished to get a second opinion before proceeding with the surgery at the Kolkata Hospital. He has since consulted doctors in Mumbai, and they have consulted several cardiologists who have reviewed his angiography report.
These doctors recommended that Maharaja go to Mumbai as soon as possible. They felt it best to convene a meeting at Bhaktivedanta Hospital to determine the best way forward so that Guru Maharaja would receive the best treatment available in Mumbai. Moreover, if surgery is performed, rehabilitation would be required; again, the devotees in Bhaktivedanta Hospital would see to all of Guru Maharaja’s needs.
At their request, Maharaja decided to fly to Mumbai tomorrow, Sunday morning. I will be accompanying him and will keep everyone updated as soon as decisions are made regarding his treatment.
Your servant,
Savyasaci dasa
