All glories to Srila Prabhupada!<\/p>\n<p>\tThis is a brief update on Sriman Grahila prabhu&#8217;s health. Many of you will know that about a month ago he suffered what appeared to be a mild stroke. However, medical examination revealed water on the brain, and a brain tumor. Further tumors were found in his neck and chest. He suffered some speech impairment and motor dysfunction of his right arm and a reduced ability to mentally focus.<\/p>\n<p>\tGrahila prabhu went with his wife Guru Seva mataji to Mumbai to get a full biopsy done. A one inch tumor was removed from his neck and the results returned last week. These show that he has stage four cancer i. e. the cancerous tumors have metastasized and are not treatable. The doctors have advised that no treatment is possible.<\/p>\n<p>\tThey did however suggest that gamma ray treatment may relieve some of the symptoms. He underwent this for six continuous hours last Friday at the Hinduja hospital in Mumbai. Immediately afterwards he was unable to speak or stand and was subject to vomiting.<\/p>\n<p>\tSince then he has gradually improved to the point where he can at least say a few sentences, but he is still quite incapacitated. He and his wife have made the decision to return to Mayapur as soon as he is able to travel.<\/p>\n<p>\tWe request all the Vaisnavas to pray for the spiritual well being of this dear disciple of Srila Prabhupada. Since cancer patients have been known to recover from even stage four cancer we cannot rule out the possibility of physical recovery. But whatever happens, we do request all devotees to pray to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Sri Radha Madhava to bestow Their full blessings upon him.<\/p>\n<p>\tGrahila prabhu has very limited funds and if anyone wishes to help with his medical care and travel expenses from Mumbai to Mayapur, kindly contact myself, Hari-sauri dasa, or the Mayapur Community Sevaks on MCS@pamho.net for details on how to give a donation.<\/p>\n<p>Your humble servant, Hari-sauri dasa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/grahila_prt.jpg\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" alt=\"Hare Krishna\"\/><strong>By Hari-sauri dasa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> We request all the Vaisnavas to pray for the spiritual well being of this dear disciple of Srila Prabhupada.
