Dear Devotees,
Dandavat pranams. Jay Srila Prabhupada!
HH Purnacandra Maharaja is still in coma and it seems that there is not much
that the doctors can do to get him out of it. He is on life support, but the
doctors at this point are not talking about discontinuing with life support.
The problem in Moscow is getting the right information from the doctors
because they are reluctant to speak about his predicament as Maharaja is an
American citizen, without any 'legal' representative in Russia. The devotees
(HH Niranjana Swami and now the devotees in Moscow), however, have managed
to contact Maharaja's father who is willing to give the 'power of attorney'
to a devotee in Moscow, and this will give his 'guardian' an opportunity and
(most importantly) authority to speak with doctors and get more information
about the chances for his recovery.
Doctors have checked his reflexes and it seems that Maharaja is responsive,
which is a good sign. As to the chances for his full recover, we have to
wait and see and, most importantly, depend on Lord's mercy.
At the moment, devotees, with the help of some highly placed people in
Moscow, are trying to arrange for Maharaja an Mp3 player, so that he could
listen to bhajans, which was initially very difficult to achieve as Russian
authorities were very strict on this point (no foreign object in the
reanimation department). It might be possible to arrange for a
priest/devotee in the room as well (who could read to Maharaja).
Maharaja is in the best hospital in Moscow, and devotees are doing their
best to help him out: by being in touch with the doctors, praying and
holding daily kirtans, trying to connect with friends of devotees at high
places who could help out, etc.
Furthermore, on the recommendation of Shyamasundara das (the astrologer)
there special homas are being held for HH Purnacandra Maharaja (to bring
Purnacandra Gosvami back from the coma and to restore him to full health) in
Srirangam, India.
Please, continue with your prayers, so that our merciful Lord (if He so
whishes) may speed up Maharaja's recovery and give him many more years of
service in the sankirtan movement.
Your servant,
Yugal kisora dasa
