Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
1st
"My name was kept Abhay, which means, 'there is no fear of death of this child.' In my maternal uncle's house, they called me Nandulal because I was born on Nandotsava."
Prabhupada did not translate at all last night or today. His sleeping has increased; and he is not at all regular with his sleeping, massage, sitting, etc.
2nd
This morning, when I suggested he could perhaps translate later in the morning, Srila Prabhupada said, "I can no longer see properly. My brain is not working." Prabhupada has become very weak. Never in his life has he been this ill. The kaviraja came and explained that the fluid which had collected in his body was actually transformed blood; and now that the fluid had gone, it was like losing so much blood. Therefore, Prabhupada was experiencing weakness and poor vision. The kaviraja said that gradually the appetite would return. That was clearly the main problem: no appetite. Prabhupada has eaten practically nothing in more than one month.
While taking darsana of the Deities during the last two days, Prabhupada had different boys dance individually before him in kirtana. He likes to see this dancing, as it enlivens the kirtana. I had anticipated this by introducing a mrdanga about four days ago, and this action led to the dancing now.
Early in the evening, Prabhupada drank some apple juice but vomited it later and felt very ill all night.
