Dear All,
Pamho. AgtSP. AgtGM.
Guru Maharaj's health has been improving gradually since his admission to the Northshore Hospital in Sydney on the 31st of December. When his condition improved he was discharged from the hospital on Friday the 7th of January. He has been recuperating in an apartment next to the hospital ever since. The nurses come daily to do the dressings and administer intravenous antibiotics.
The wounds are all healing very well and everyone including GM and the doctors are very happy about it. The left leg is almost completely healed while the wounds on the right leg where the operations were performed are all getting filled up with healthy granulation tissue and healing satisfactorily. If no more new abscesses develop then there has definitely been a turnaround.
Generally 1 more week of IV antibiotics may be necessary but knowing that GM has miraculous healing powers the duration may be shorter. The Infectious Diseases and Orthopaedic team will review GM's condition on Wednesday the 12th of January after which the length of IV therapy, dressings and even fitness to travel etc would be decided. If everything goes well GM could go back to India in 1 week's time.
Your servant,
Adi Purusa Krsna dasa

Guru Maharaja diary by Guru Gauranga Das
As usual, making devotees on the go!
The RNS hospital staffs in Sydney got the causeless mercy of our Guru Maharaj. The nurse who served Guru Maharaj in the hospital very quickly recognised that he is a very powerful spiritual personality.
The nurse met Guru Maharaj along with the disciples and inquired whether our movement is similar to Buddhist religion as she believes in Buddhism. Guru Maharaj stated that KRSNA conscious movement is a post graduate study of all religions. He said that it is higher than Nirvana in Buddhism. The nurse then shared some of her recent realizations. She mentioned that two days ago while taking a walk in a park, I prayed to God that I should progress spiritually. She thought to herself that, if at all GOD exist and if he has listened to my prayer then let me see a beautiful feather in the park. Miraculously, just within few minutes she came across a beautiful feather along the path. The nurse then expressed that her meeting with Guru Maharaj now, is also a divine arrangement that she feels very fortunate. Guru Maharaj then said how devotees come with message of GOD and then he requested the nurse to take this arrangement of Lord as His mercy. Guru Maharaj mentioned that GOD is a title and he has many names and He is the source of happiness. Guru Maharaj spoke about his practice of Meditation and learning different philosophies during his early days.
Nurse again asked about Vegetarianism in spiritual life. Guru Maharaj explained the four pillars of religion from Srimad Bhagavatam and how we lose the quality of mercy/compassion if we aren't vegetarians. He also mentioned that there is necessary nutrition available in vegetarian food and there exists no need to kill animals. Guru Maharaj also mentioned how he used to be very healthy, before he had the stroke in 2008. He also pointed out some of the devotees who were standing nearby, who were born vegetarians and they are healthy as well. Guru Maharaj specified about availability of Iron in molasses and there is no need to take meat for that reason. Nurse mentioned that her New Year resolution is to be a vegetarian from now on. She also showed her interest to learn more about KRSNA consciousness. Nurse respectfully thanked Guru Maharaj for his time and later accepted some prashadam given by devotees.
All glories to Srila Guru deva!
Aspiring to be your servant,
Guru Gauranga Das

Guru Maharaja's health update - January 02, 2011 (after surgery)
Dear Devotees,
PAMHO! AGTSP! AGTGM!
2nd Jan 2011
------------------
Guru Maharaja had a minor surgery this afternoon around 3pm. It was done under general anaesthesia (the safest option for Guru Maharaja at present). He is back in the ward and is well under the circumstances.
The surgeons debrided all 3 wounds and are giving Guru Maharaja strong IV antibiotics specific to the bacteria from the culture result we had obtained in Perth. They are repeating more wound swabs also. All his blood tests to date have been normal. Guru Maharaja may need 3 weeks of antibiotics, initially intravenous for at least a week until the wound is healing nicely then oral antibiotics.
Ys,
Dr.Priti Rupini Dd

Guru Maharaja's health update as on Jan 02, 2011
Dear devotees,
The following is Guru Maharaja's latest update from Mahavaraha prabhu. We request all the devotees to pray for his speedy recovery.
Your humble servants,
Vaikunthapati das & Ratnavali dd

Dear All,
PAMHO!
Guru Maharaja was admitted in an hospital in Sydney on the 31st Dec at around 11.30pm after we noticed the wounds on his legs becoming worse and he was diagnosed to be having MRSA. At 5.30am they started the antibiotic through IV. They did a swab test from the all the wounds on the legs and also a blood test.
The blood test result seems ok, means as usual. Nothing has gone worse compare to the previous test. At 6am x-ray was done on both his legs and found that no infection on his knee or ankle join. So fortunately the infection has not reached the blood stream and the joints and the doctors confirmed it is just a superficial infection.
He may go for a minor surgery for the wound. It just a removal of the pus. He may have to stay in the hospital for 3-4 days if he responds to the antibiotics and the wounds start healing. He is stable.
More update after surgery.

Maha Varaha D
