Maharaj is doing very well. Yesterday he was off the ventilator for 15

ventilator in 2-3 days.

Bhadra Balaram Prabhu and myself, Maha Varaha dasa, are on night shift. It
was almost 8 p.m. when we reached Hinduja hospital. Ganga Prabhu was feeding
Guru Maharaja with hospital food – two kinds of vegetable soup, yogurt and
custard. Guru Maharaja is being encouraged to take a soft diet (without
onion and garlic, of course); even if it be just 3-4 tablespoons, we offer
the same and personally feed him.

Bhaktivedanta Hospital,Mumbai

The neurologist was happy to see Maharaj fully alert and conscious. Maharaj
feels hungry and asks to be fed. He takes a few teaspoons of semisolid food
2-3 times a day.

The weaning from the ventilator is going on. Today they weaned him off the
ventilatory support at 2.30 pm. We are waiting and watching for how long he
can sustain respiration without the ventilatory support.

From Maha Varaha prabhu:

HH Jayapataka Maharaj is stable in terms of consciousness. Using an
alphabet chart made by the devotees, Maharaj indicated the spelling
of ‘Haribol’. When he was asked whether he was saying Haribol to all the
devotees around the world, Maharaj emphatically nodded yes.

Haribol, dear godbrothers and godsisters,

Maharaj’s consciousness level is the same- he is recognizing devotees and
trying to communicate. Trial oral feeds are still going on. He is able to
chew and swallow a few teaspoons of semi solid food. He was again made to
sit on a chair with support. The process of weaning from the ventilator is
going on and will take a few days for him to be completely off it. Please
continue your intense and enthusiastic prayers.

HH Jayapataka Maharaj’s status report by Dr Madhavananda das, Director of
Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai

Maharaj was off the ventilator support for two hours. Now he is back on the
ventilatory support because he was breathless and tired. The trials for
weaning him off the ventilator will continue. Other parameters are stable.
Maharaj remains critical because he is still on the ventilator. Please
continue to pray intensely.

HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaja’s status report by Dr Madhavananda das,
Director of Bhaktivedanta Hospital:

Maharaja’s consciousness is the same as yesterday. The other parameters are
stable. Today at 10 am, they removed the vetilatory support. We have to wait
and watch to see how Maharaja responds. Please continue praying intensely.

HH Jayapataka Maharaj’s status report by Dr Madhavananda das, Director of
Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai

Maharaj’s consciousness level is the same as yesterday. He is still on
minimal ventilatory support. The treating doctors are going to try to
remove the ventilatory support tomorrow. We hope and pray that he can
breathe on his own. Please continue your intense prayers.

Also today the doctors have allowed GM to begin eating semi solid food,
soups and an energy pudding…the nurse would say “Swamiji please open…now
swallow”…sometimes GM would not so but when Revati Raman implored saying
“The doctors have seen improvement allowing you to eat…so you must take to
get strong…please open”…he would then open his mouth and swallow.

Today GM has returned to more dependence on the ventilator system… The
doctors are not surprised it is more or less art of the weaning process…

Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai

Maharaj is gradually being weaned off the ventilator. He is on low
ventilatory support since afternoon. His consciousness level is the same.
He is trying to communicate. Today he was given trial oral feeds which he
accepted. He was also made to sit on a chair with support. Please continue
to pray intensely as Maharaj is still in need of the ventilator.

Maharaj’s consciousness is the same. He is trying to communicate. Till
yesterday, Maharaj was on minimal ventilatory support for a long time. Now
he is back on normal ventilatory support. Doctors said weaning from the
ventilator will take a longer time. Please continue to pray intensely.

Dear Maharajas, Prabhus, & Matajis,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

This is to bring to your notice that HH Jayapataka Maharaja is in a very
crucial state of recovery; but, he is not out of a critical condition. The
doctors have warned us that any little infection, that he get, in this
critical condition could endanger his life to the extent of being fatal.

ventilator. This process of weaning from the ventilator is gradual and
going on. The doctors said that its mainly rehabilitation from now on.
