Dear devotees, disciples, and well-wishers
of HH. Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja,
Please accept our humble obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Guru Mahārāja continues to show gradual improvement in his overall sensorium and level of alertness. The medical team is encouraged by the progress he has been making and remains hopeful about his continued recovery. At the same time, we would like to emphasize that the journey toward a meaningful and sustained recovery remains a long one, and maintaining this positive trajectory without setbacks is extremely important.
The doctors have indicated that, if Guru Mahārāja is able to maintain this level of improvement over the coming weeks without any significant setbacks, they are hopeful that within the next few weeks to a month he may make further significant progress toward being completely weaned from ventilatory support and, subsequently, having the tracheostomy removed. These are encouraging possibilities, but they will depend on his continued clinical stability and gradual progress.
Guru Mahārāja has remained clinically stable and free from any significant signs of infection for almost three weeks. The medical team is gradually increasing the duration of his breaks from ventilatory support, allowing him progressively longer periods of independent breathing as tolerated. He continues to require dialysis on alternate days, which he has been tolerating well for the past several weeks. His vital signs have remained stable, and the wounds affecting his legs and toes are also showing signs of healing.
As there is still a long journey ahead, we humbly request devotees to include the entire medical team and the caretakers in their prayers. Please pray that we may all be able to perform our humble roles properly as instruments in the hands of Lord Kṛṣṇa, with strength, clarity, patience, and dedication.
Above all, we remain deeply conscious that, beyond all the medical care and efforts being made on the ground, the sincere prayers of devotees around the world are playing an invaluable role in supporting Guru Mahārāja through this difficult journey. We therefore humbly request everyone to continue their prayers with the same intensity, faith, and consistency.
“My dear Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava, Śrī Pañca-tattva, Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, and Śrīla Prabhupāda, if You so desire, please bless Guru Mahārāja to remain free from infection and other complications, regain his strength and consciousness, recover his ability to communicate and interact, become increasingly independent in his breathing, and steadily progress toward stable health and recovery.”
