Shyamasundar and Sundara Radhika

By Hari-sauri dasa

Dear Maharaja’s and prabhus,

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

I just got off the phone with Shyamasundara and his wife Sundari Radhika. Yesterday evening they were moved in two ambulances from Max Hospital to the New Delhi temple guest house where they will stay for the next three months. Its good in one sense that they are out of the hospital environment. But it doesn’t mean much in terms of their health, which remains very delicate.

Sundari Radhika had the halo fitted several days ago, but she is not yet mobile. It will take several days of physio. before she will be able to get out of bed by herself and move around. The halo weighs about 5 kgs. so you can imagine the inconvenience.

Shyama simply cannot move off his back. Coughing is so painfull because of his broken ribs and vertebrae that he can’t do it. It could also be dangerous so he is very cautious how he eats and drinks etc. If he catches a cold at this point it could be a severe problem.

Guru Gauranga prabhu at the Delhi temple has set up their room like a hospital, with hospital beds. They have had to hire assistants for 24 hrs. care, 2 ladies and one man, costing Rs. 800.00 per day because at the moment they are unable to perform even the most simply and perfunctory tasks by themselves.

If anyone wants to ring, his number is 09945357013. He will be happy to hear from his godbrothers and sisters, but if you can’t get through its probably because he is resting.

If anyone would like to help with a donation to help them meet very high medical costs, I have some bank info. I can supply on request.

Your humble servant,
Hari-sauri dasa
