By Sacirani Devi Dasi<\/strong> <\/p>\n Posted on August 19, 2006 From Imphal, Manipur, India.<\/p>\n This is an earnest request for all the devotees to pray for safe recovery of His Grace Bhojadeva Prabhu, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, who was severely injured in the tragic terror attack during the Janmastami celebrations at ISKCON Manipur. A hand grenade was thrown into the middle of the Pandal (a temporary hall built for cultural performances during the festival) where the Manipur traditional Rasalila performance was being held. Near to the performance, His Holiness Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Maharaja was seated along with important guests. Bhojdeva Prabhu was sitting next to His Holiness. It appeared that the grenade was targeted to His Holiness but landed near to Bhojdeva Prabhu. A total of five devotees left their bodies till now. Bhojadeva Prabhu took most of the explosion in the direction where they were sitting and thus severely injured. He saved His Holiness and few other devotees from being severely injured. I was also saved by Bhojadeva Prabhu as I was sitting just behind him.<\/p>\n When the explosion occurred Bhojadeva Prabhu was chanting with both his hands crossed near the chest and that saved him as well as his stomach and chest were protected by the hands by the blessings of the Lord’s Holy Name. However, he sustained severe injuries in his face and left arm. He was operated on 17th. His eyes were damaged and still swollen. He is able to open and see thru his right eye. Unfortunately he is not able to open the left eye and he is not responding to the light. His nose was also damaged and broken. His nasal cavity is open up to the sinus. Along with the blood from the damaged area, there is also fluid coming from his brain. Doctors say it takes few days before the opening of the nasal cavity is closed but they are worried that there may develop some infection that could go up into the brain.<\/p>\n Today he is fully conscious and speaking. Doctors say that he is recovering quickly. He is stable and completely Krishna Conscious and thanking the Lord for saving him by giving him less than that is deserved by him by his Karma. We have given him the water. Tomorrow, if possible we will give some fluid or solid prasadam according to the situation. Day after tomorrow we are hoping to take him to Calcutta for better treatment. After few days if he is able to walk and is fit, he will be taken to his residence in Bangkok. Meanwhile, we are all very much worried about his left eye and possible infection that may develop in the brain. Bhojadeva Prabhu is one of very rare devotees of the Lord. As an example of intensity of his devotion and faith in the Lord, he was chanting even while he was on the floor with severe injuries after the blast. Please sincerely pray to the Lord to protect Bhojadeva Prabhu to give us his valuable association, guidance and inspiration to serve the Lord. Hare Krishna!<\/p>\n Note: This article is being forwarded from Forum_BSDS_Disciples@yahoogroups.com <\/p>\n I have attached a photo which I took in the Orlando International Airport on 02\/06\/2006 as HH Bhaktisavarupa Damodar Swami (right) was returning to India with Jivanmukta Prabhu(left) and Bhojadev Prabhu (center).<\/p>\n Thank you for your consideration in publishing this article on Dandavats.<\/p>\n Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare<\/p>\n Sincerely, This is an earnest request for all the devotees to pray for safe recovery of His Grace Bhojadeva Prabhu, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, who was severely injured in the tragic terror attack during the Janmastami celebrations at ISKCON Manipur.
