July 1 Health Update
Hare Kṛṣṇa
Dear devotees, disciples, and well-wishers of H.H. Jayapataka Swami Mahārāja,
Please accept our humble obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
We would like to inform all devotees that Guru Mahārāja returned to his ICU room a few hours ago after completing the procedure.
By the mercy of Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Srila Prabhupada, and the prayers of devotees around the world, the tracheostomy was completed successfully, and he tolerated the procedure well.
Over the coming days, Guru Mahārāja will remain under close observation in the ICU while the medical team carefully monitors the new tracheostomy site to ensure there is no significant bleeding or other complications and that it heals properly.
During this period, the doctors will also continue working to gradually reduce his dependence on the ventilator while supporting his lungs as they continue to recover, and rehabilitation will gradually increase.
The tracheostomy now provides a more comfortable and stable pathway for Guru Mahārāja’s respiratory care and is expected to allow him to participate more actively in physical therapy and rehabilitation as his strength continues to return.
We are grateful to all the devotees around the world who united in prayer during today’s procedure. We humbly request that you continue praying to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, Sri Pancatattva, and Srila Prabhupada, that Guru Mahārāja’s recovery may continue steadily, without complications, and that he may soon begin the next stage of rehabilitation.
On behalf of the JPS Health team and the JPS Seva Committee
Mahā Varāhā Dāsa
