Dear God-family, disciples and well wishers of H.H. Jayapataka Swami Maharaja,
We would like to inform the ISKCON community that HH Jayapataka Swami has been tested positive for Covid-19 this evening.
At the moment Guru Maharaja does not have any symptoms but the doctors and the Seva-Committee are having an emergency meeting to decide on a plan of action for treatment and if it is necessary to move Maharaja to a hospital.
We kindly request all disciples and well-wishers to pray to Lord Krsna for the well being of Maharaja and many of his servants who also tested positive.
Health updates will be posted regularly so that all of you are well informed.
On behalf of the Health Team and the JPS Seva Committee,
Your Servant
Mahavaraha Das

News from HH Jayapataka Swami this morning in Mayapur:
URGENT PRAYERS!
After class Maharaja said,
“All my servants, most of them, who are serving me personally, including Gopati, (the repeater) they tested positive for coronavirus. So, I was fortunate, initially, I was negative. Now they say that I’m medium positive. Since so many of my servants were positive, it’s highly unlikely for me to escape. I may have to cancel the morning and extra classes. As far as possible I’ll continue to give the Chaitanya Lila classes. And by your blessings and prayers I may certainly get over this. Hare Krishna.”
