    Health Update on

    H.H. Jayapataka Swami April 23rd 2024

    Hare Krishna dear disciples and well-wishers of

    H.H. Jayapataka Swami

    Maharaja,

    Please accept our humble obeisances.

    All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru Maharaja

    Guru Maharaja showed some mild improvement in his strength after almost 20 days in hospital and expressed his desire to take darshan of deities and see the devotees. As a birthday gift Dr Sarin allowed him to attend the Vyasa Puja ceremony at ISKCON Noida under the condition that he returns back to the hospital in a few hours.

    Before going to the ceremony he was also asked to speak as a chief guest at one of the academic sessions in ILBS and Guru Maharaja spoke about the health benefits that one gets automatically because of the regulative principles of Krishna consciousness.

    The energy that was present before going out of the hospital seemed to be short lived, because when Guru Maharaja came back, he was feeling extremely tired and had very low blood pressure. In fact, the dialysis session that was scheduled after returning back from Noida had to be called off.

    The doctors started some medicines to increase his blood pressure that night and performed a slow dialysis the next day which went on for 16 hours in the ICU.

    After the dialysis session Guru Maharaja was shifted back to the room and gradually his Blood pressure stabilized without any additional medication.

    A nephrologist from Hyderabad, Dr Dhanalakshmi flew in to Delhi to help with Guru Maharaja's dialysis therapy. Pranesvara Gaurachandra prabhu from Sydney, Australia, a dialysis nurse, is also present here. Both of them have helped with the difficult dialysis session last night and share their valuable inputs with the treating doctor team in ILBS.

    Even after the dialysis session there is still significant water overload in the body and various medications are being tried to relieve Guru Maharaja of it.

    Also, Guru Maharaja’s lungs are still weak. He is still requiring intermittent oxygen therapy.

    In the current condition, discharge from the hospital also seems to be quite a challenge. But even in this condition Guru Maharaja continues preaching and inspiring people. He has been distributing Maha mantra cards to Doctors, nurses, and neighbouring patients all day long.

    We are humbly requesting each and everyone of you to chant as much as possible for Guru Maharaja's speedy recovery and stabilisation of his lungs and kidneys so that he can return to Mayapur.

    On behalf of the JPS Heath Team and Seva Committee,

    Mahavaraha Dāsa

    A few days ago he left the hospital to attend and talk at a ceremony. I'm guessing he's catched a few more infections there.

    Kitanofuji is still presumably in hospital with severe heart problems, completely incapacitated and will likely die any day now. It'll be interesting to see if Takamiyama Daigoro will be at Akebono's funeral as he trained him.

    He did (image), has crutches but looks amazing considering he was the first sumo wrestler over 200kg, has had previous health issues and will be 80 in June.

    With him there's Konishiki who in my opinion looks worse despite being two decades younger.

    Jayapataka has been out of oxygen for two days, just needs few more dialysis and will then be discharged.

     

    Unbelievable.

    Sidney Cooke, now 95. How is he still alive? Wheelchairbound after a stroke or a double-stroke in the 2000s, heart attacks, everything. 12 years ago today he was fighting for his life after collapsing 

    Sidney Cooke is 97 today :banghead::smiley_f:

    Have a very unhappy birthday, die soon et cetera

    Image from an event two days ago. Clearly frailer than last year, I'd say. He might be one of the greatest monsters in the history of the world for adding years into his age, but I love the way he dresses.

    Governor of Arkhangelsk Oblast Pavel Balakshin dead at 87.

     

    Some time ago I went through the living Russian governors and their longevity was depressingly bad. Balakshin was the oldest by a big margin, IIRC. Don't know who 's the oldest now.

    They can't really compete with their Chinese counterparts. 

     

    Of republics...

    Alexander Dzasokhov, "President of North Ossetia-Alania" 1998-2005 is still alive at 90. He should be the oldest.

    After him, possibly Aslan Dzharimov, born 1936, head of Adyghe 1992-2006. 

    There's a few living born in 1937, including Dzharimov's successor Hazret Sovmen and Tatarstan's iron ruler Mintimer Shaimiev (who was widowed five years ago, but seems to be doing great for his age), and then a larger amount of ones in their early 80s.

     

    Of oblasts...

    I think allegedly corrupt former governor of Oryol Yegor Stroyev is the oldest governor of an Oblast now that Balakshin is dead, close second Eduard Rossel of Sverdlovsk whose father was killed by NKVD during Stalin's Great Purge.

    Up until recently one of those few current nonagenarian/octogenarian Finnish celebrities who've appeared very frequently on tv. I'd put dancer/tv face Aira Samulin (96), maybe politicians Jaakko Iloniemi (91) and Elisabeth Rehn (88), singers Pirkko Mannola, Eino Grön (both 84) and Danny (80) in the same group, all very notable in Finland and people who'll likely die once they stop appearing on tv/aren't interviewed anymore. 

    Pirkko Mannola hospitalised with bell's palsy.

    Apparently a sign that Than Shwe and Maung Aye still have some power over the current guy despite both of them having been in failing health for more than a decade.

    Chinese ambassador visited Than Shwe, his old deputy Maung Aye and former president Thein Sein a week or two ago. They definitely hold a lot of power behind the scenes. There's a new image of Shwe in the article, he doesn't look particularly ill or frail at the moment.
