Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Hare Krishna devotees, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thank you for all the well wishing emails sent by concerned devotees regarding our Guru maharaj`s health condition. I have been asked by so many of you to keep you updated on what is going on so here is an update. Bhakti Tirtha Swami is currently in Mexico receiving treatment for his condition. I am pasting below a letter where he talks about what is happening. Please continue to send him your love and prayers! Your servant Narayani devi dasi Dear Maharaja´s and Prabhus, Please accept my most humble obeisances All glories to ISKCON Founder Acharya Srila Prabhupada We are now in Mexico at a wonderful health clinic, where there are many special protocols for addressing cancer and other chronic illnesses. Most important is that the caretakers are endowed with higher consciousness and are quite knowledgeable of both allopatic and alternative technologies. After receiving so many letters from all over the world in the last week, I decided to go all the way to try to facilitate the eradication of the cancer. My last health visit before I left USA was at the 'National Institute of Health' and at a major Cancer Center in Maryland. NIH informed me that if the cancer spreads in the entire body then there would only be a 5% chance of survival. What did they offer me-- simply to use me for experimentation, which would have all types of heavy side effects. The other center in Maryland offered 3 operations, in addition to chemotheraohy, radiation, and possible amputation. My earlier thoughts were that I would simply go to Mayapur--CHANT and simply FAST until I left the body, however it seems that some of you sensed that I was too prepared to leave, therefore due to your letters, phone calls, and prayers from all over the world, I have decided to pursue a course of aggressively addressing the cancer from a wholistic platform. Whether I am allowed to stay or leave is dependent on Srila Prabhupada and Krsna. The treatments are extremely demanding as they go from morning to night, however at the same time I has so much time to go more internal. I will not be accessible for about 1 month in order to assist with the initial healing process. I must have a simple and focused life, ie Sannyasa Life. {smile} Previously we were receiving phone calls almost every 15 minutes, and hundreds of emails everyday. I personally loved it, however my caretakers have convinced me that it is presently not conducive for the healing process. Once or twice a week I may be able to sneak out one email, but please dont be alarmed if I am unable to respond to your letters. The treatments started on Lord Balarama´s Appearance day, this was most auspicious as Lord Balaram is expert in removing obstacles. Yours in service to Srila Prabhupada With Love BTSwami -- Jaya Radhe! The Krishna consciousness movement will inundate the entire world and drown everyone, whether one be a gentleman, a rogue or even lame, invalid or blind.- CC Adi Lila 7.26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
