Health Update of HH. Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja, Bengaluru | 1st September 2026 | 9:00 PM IST
Dear devotees, disciples, and well-wishers of HH. Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
By the mercy of Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Śrī Pañca-tattva, Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, Śrīla Prabhupāda, and the sincere prayers of devotees around the world, we continue to remain hopeful and grateful for every positive step in Guru Mahārāja’s recovery.
Guru Mahārāja had another episode of fever this morning. Thankfully, the fever subsided within a couple of hours.
In view of the recurrent episodes of fever and some of the other ongoing concerns, the doctors undertook further investigations today. Fluid was collected from around the lungs for testing, and a biopsy was also taken from the ear to assess the status of the skin cancer for which Guru Mahārāja underwent surgery approximately three months ago while he was in the USA. These investigations will help the medical team better understand the possible underlying causes of the recurrent fever and guide further treatment.
Due to these procedures and investigations, Guru Mahārāja could not be mobilized out of bed today. However, he has continued to remain on minimal ventilator support for the past six days, which is encouraging. His respiratory condition continues to be closely monitored by the medical team.
Yesterday, Guru Mahārāja was mobilized onto the wheelchair twice. On one of these occasions, he was taken outside the hospital for a brief period at an appropriate time, allowing him to get some fresh air and gentle sunlight. These periods of mobilization and activity remain an important part of his ongoing rehabilitation.
His alertness and attentiveness are also gradually improving, and we remain grateful for these small but meaningful signs of progress.
We humbly request all devotees, disciples, and well-wishers around the world to continue offering their heartfelt prayers:
“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 strength and consciousness, recover his ability to communicate and interact, become increasingly independent in his breathing, and steadily progress toward stable health and recovery.”
