Update – 19 June – 12pm US EDT
Dear Devotees:
Maharaj’s situation has worsened to critical and unstable.
Maharaj is in Day 12 of the cycle. Days 10-14 are the most crucial days.
He has a new blood infection. Last night the doctors gave him dopamine to stimulate his heart and bring up his blood pressure. He is having systemic problems.
Convalescent plasma therapy is scheduled for today and is expected to help.
The need of the hour is deep and strong prayer. We have seen time and again that prayer from the devotees can bring one back from the brink. Please arrange group prayer, yagya and offerings to request the Lord to return Maharaj to us so that he may continue in Srila Prabhupada’s essential mission.
****UPDATE AS OF 8:00PM EST 06/19/20****
Dear Devotees,
We just received news that thanks to all of your heartfelt prayers, Maharaj is now on the convalescent plasma.
We will continue to update as more information comes.

HH Holiness Bhakti Caru Swami has been an ocean of inspiration and support.
Among so many incredible services for Srila Prabhupada, he has extended
himself to support the protection cows and bulls in our society for the
pleasure of Lord Sri Krishna. We deeply pray to Lord Govinda and the
inhabitants of Goloka that we may continue to have his association.

Dear Maharajas and Prabhus,
Namonamaha. Jaya Srila Prabhupada!
This is to inform you the HH Bhakti Charu Maharaj, who has been ill and
hospitalzied for the past week, near his ashram at Deland, Florida, (in the
USA) has been tested positive for Covid-19, the corona virus.
For the past several days he has had high fevers at night, and is not eating
or drinking. He is on an IV-drip for nourishment.
Please pray to Sri Sri Lakshmi Nrsimha for his speedy recovery! Lakshmi
Nrsimha mama dehi karaavalambam!
Personally, I wish him: Shighram aarogyam bhavatu! May he quickly be free
from disease!
Hope this meets you all well and somehow healthy in this age of widespread
disease – the “pandemic”!

Oh Krsna! Govinda!
Dandavats.
This is very shocking and unfortunate news. Maharaja has been kind mentor
and well wisher for so many of us.
My Dear Lord Krishna, if you so desire, please cure His Holiness Bhakti
Charu Swami and let us have his association for years to come.
And my Dear Lord Krishna if you really need someone to depart then please
take the undersigned instead. But then my Lord Krishna, your plans are
unknown to any embodied soul. Please help and relieve us of this distress
with respect to HH Bhakti Charu Maharaja.
Daso’smi,

I am praying hard for Maharaja’s well-being. Krishna has His plan and we
cannot interfere with that, but we can express our desire to have Maharaja
remain with us for as long as possible. Despite his age Maharaja is still
quite youthful and has so much still to offer as far as expansion of the
Krishna conscious movement is concerned. From my perspective he has
contributed so much, over so many years, to the development of the UK yatra
As many of us know Maharaja has a unique ability to make you feel like the
most important person in the world whenever you are in his association. In
many ways when talking with him, time kinda stands still and he is never in
a rush to depart. That is reciprocated by one and all he meets due to his
sweet, sweet nature, dedication to Srila Prabhupada and his infectious
enthusiasm for spreading Krishna consciousness
Constantly thinking of you and fighting with you at this time Maharaja
Your friend and servant,
Praghosa dasa
