First message from HG Mahatma Das after his surgery

I am writing to thank everyone for your prayers. You have all helped me tremendously. I am slowly recuperating and experiencing some of the deepest realizations of my life. Once I am stronger, I will share more here.

The triple bypass in Alachua was very traumatic on my body. Talking completely exhausts me, and hearing sastra makes me so emotional that it also wipes me out.

I am in a different state of consciousness. It feels like I went back to Godhead and returned to this world for more service. I am not the same person now. I’ll talk in about a week.

In a social media post from Radhapriya Devi Dasi who serves as secretary to Mahatma Das, she said, “After routine testing, Mahatma Das’s doctors discovered a significant blockage in his arteries, requiring urgent surgery. To prevent a potential heart attack, they have scheduled the heart surgery for Monday, September 23, from 7 am to 12 pm EDT in Gainesville, Florida.

We kindly ask for your prayers for a smooth and successful procedure and recovery. During this time, he requests that no messages or emails be sent directly to him, as he would like to rest and recover peacefully.
