Srila Gurudev is already settled in and he is showing much improved health. He is definitely pleased to have taken this chance for medical checkups and for having a regulated, peaceful environment conducive for regaining his strength after the recent tour.

Srila Gurudev is full of praise for the professionalism of the doctors who cared for him and for the personal care given by the staff who honoured him with full VIP status.

Although Srila Gurudev is showing stronger health and is in ever good spirits, we all need to be aware that His Divine Grace is under doctor's orders to take complete rest for a further three weeks.

Srila Gurudev has several times expressed that he is continuing his seva in this world by the blessings of Srila Guru Maharaj Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj, and by the affectionate prayers of the devotees.

May all the devotees' prayers continue as a valuable medicine to our Divine Master.
