Timeline of His Holiness Jayapataka Swami's Life - 2001-2010
2008 December 13 - Secretary Diary. 20081213 Hinduja Hospital. Mumbai, India
Dear Mataji,
PLs edit
13th Dec 2008 Afternoon Shift 12noon - 6pm
-------------------------------------------
Today is the day the tracheostomy tube came out miraculously. Bhadra Balaram Prabhu has described it in detail in his report. Today is also the first day GM was clad with saffron cloths after being in the hospital for almost 52 days.He looked very vibrant with his personal saffron kurta and silk pyjamas.
It was 1.15pm,time to feed lunch for GM. While GM was relaxing on his bed,I asked him,"GM! Are you ready for the lunch?" He remained silent. Then i noticed he was trying to roll around his brahmin thread on his right hand side thumb. But he was not able to do it properly by himself. After i helped GM to roll around the brahmin thread,GM started to chant his gayatri by slowly moving his right hand side thumb accordingly with the help of his left hand. Since the last few days GM also chanted Hare Krsna Maha Mantra with his clicker.
After chanting the gayatri mantra we fed lunch for GM. After finish feeding the lunch,GM took 10 minutes nap.Then at 2.55pm we shifted GM on a wheelchair and rushed him to the physiotherapy department.Since it was saturday the physiotherapy department will be closed by 3pm, fortunately the therapist were still there when we rolled up.
While we were in the physiotherapy department Dr.Siromani received a call that we got another deluxe room available at the 15th floor, which we original asked for. It is as similar as the room on the 7th floor but with the bed facing towards south. After the physiotherapy session we took GM straight to 15th floor for him to have look. GM decided to shift here because he was very concerned about the sleeping direction. I thought,though GM is not travelling from city to city but he is still travelling from ward to ward. From 10th floor to 2nd floor then to 7th floor and now to 15th floor.
We made GM to relax on the bed and started to set up the new room. While GM was relaxing on the bed, Dr.Alvar came in to visit GM. In the middle of their conversation Dr.Alvar who is an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna mentioned to GM,"Your recovery is miraculous and i heard your case will be discussed in the international health forum." GM replied with full of humility on his face,"Its all because of prayers."
At 6pm after having his evening fruit GM asked for LSD.'Left Side Down' Sleeping on left hand side. We turned him over on his left with pillows on his back to support him. Within 5 minutes he fell asleep. For the first time after 52 days i heard GM was snoring quite loudly.
