Gulab, the elephant, is in great danger as of 30-03-06

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna!

Please accept my humble obeisancies.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

Gulab, the Mayapur famous elephant, is in great danger as of 30-03-06.

 

At 2 am she fel down on the floor and since then did not get up. Her feet

got some infection at the end of GP festival and since then it got worse and

worse despite the treatment offered by our vet-doctor, Nanda Krishna Prabhu.

 

The sores on her 2 front feet and one back foot are so sever that she could

not stand on her feet any longer and fainted out of extream pain.

 

In photos attached you can see her condition as of 30-03-06.

On the back, near the tail you can see anotther big sore - it came due to

her leaning and rubbing against the wall trying to get relief from standing

on the hearting feet.

 

She was turned over in the middle of the day by stong metal pullies (same as

when Pancha-tattva was brought on the altar) - in one of the photos.

 

She was excepting some food still and was put on a dripper (12 backets of

liquid + medicine was administred to her via this dripper). That will repeat

again in the morning.

 

Devotees come throuout the day to spend time with Gulab, chant, stroke her,

give her a session of racky...

 

Please join us in prayers for Gulab's recovery.

 

Hare Krishna!

 

your servants,

Padmalochan Das & Vrindavan Lila Dasi
