Update on Shymasundar Prabhu (ACBSP) & Gopinath Prabhu

Dear Devotees,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Many devotees have been inquiring about the health of Shymasundar prabhu (ACBSP) and Gopinath prabhu after their successful liver transplant surgery and thus I am forwarding this update. A couple of days after the surgery Shymasundar prabhu developed some bile leak from one of the tubes that connect the transplanted liver to his body. This is not an unusual occurrence in liver transplants. The surgeons> performed a laparoscopy on Shymasundar prabhu on 9 Oct ‘08 and fixed the problem. He was in discomfort earlier due to the bile leak but is in good spirits now. He should hopefully be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days. Gopinath prabhu had some abdominal difficulties while he was at the hospital but that was taken care of by the doctors. He was discharged from the hospital on 9 Oct ’08 and is presently recuperating. Before he was discharged Gopinath prabhu forwarded a copy of ‘Here Comes the Sun’ (a book on George Harrison by Yogeshvar prabhu) to the Liver Transplant Coordinator of University of Chicago Medical Center. She has began to read it and mentioned she liked the book. This is the same lady who had asked Shymasundar prabhu “Who are you?” when almost 35 devotees came forward to donate their liver (since usually only immediate family members come forward). She was amazed to know about the Hare Krishnas. Both the devotees will have follow-up checkup after a week to monitor their> progress and check if the liver is regenerating properly.>> Just want to inform all devotees who sent messages for Gopinath prabhu that I read out almost all the letters to him (which I received before and after the surgery) and also forwarded phone messages. Gopinath prabhu also informed Shymasundar prabhu that devotees across the world are praying for his quick recovery and especially devotees from London and Sri Sri Radha Gopinath, Mumbai have forwarded their best wishes and prayers. He mentioned to me that Shymasundar prabhu was visibly moved to know this and almost had tears in his eyes. Both of them have expressed their heartfelt gratitude to all the devotees for their support and prayers.

Update
October 6, 2007

Dear Prabhus Matajis and Maharajas,

Dandavat Pranams. Jaya Srila Prabhupad.

I am just back from the hospital where Shyamsudar prabhu is being operated.

Right now it is 8 22 PM Chicago time Gopinath prbahu, the liver donor is in the ICU right now and is safe. He is still groggy due to the anasthesia, but doctors say that he is doing very well and lost very little blood during the
operation.

The doctors are keeping us updated about Shyamsundar prabhu’s surgery, and it will take about 4 hours more. It is expected to get over at 12 AM local
time. We saw him off to the operation theater around 10 30 AM local time, so it has been some time now. As of now both of them seem to be doing well.

I will meet both of them again tomorrow morning at the hospital and keep you updated.

I am praying that everything is now going well for you both and that Srila Prabhupada is showering his eternal blessings on you to recover and stay with the devotees to help in the preaching of KC to all living beings so that they also may get a glimpse of what it means to be in a wonderful family such as this one belonging to HDG Srila Prabhupada.

I am so happy and relieved that the operation was successful and both of these most wonderful devotees are recuperating well.

All glories to the big heart of Gopinatha prabhu. He has set an exemplary
and highest standard of love and sacrifice for each. Finally all that we
as devotees have is each other. Guru maharaj and all devotees are really
proud of him and eternally indebted to him for saving HG Syamsunder Prabhu to whom we are so indebted eternally for unaccountable contributions.

I humbly and sincerely pray at the lotus feet of Sri Sri Laxmi Narshimdeva
to always protect both of them and give a long blissful life to inspire
all of us.

My dear Lord Krsna,
I am humbly begging that both Vaisnavas receive Your divine blessings so
that this lengthy surgery will be a success. In this way, both devotees
can continue their service to You and to Srila Prabhupada. Please guide
them and protect them by holding Your transcendental umbrella of
protection over them at all times. Whatever is the outcome by Your
transcendental arrangements, kindly give all families and friends the
spiritual strength to stand firm in their beliefs and faith in You.

Dear Lord Narsinghadev,

I beg at Your lotus feet to protect Your two wonderful devotees, Symasundar Prabhu and Gopinath Prabhu, who are showing us by example how to serve each other. Please, my Lord help them to recover from their operation so that they can continue to serve the Lotus feet of our beloved Srila Prabhupada.

My dear Lord Nrsimhadeva,

Please accept my prostrated obeisances. All glories to You always and forever. I'm sure You're already looking at these wonderful devotees who are serving Srila Prabhupada and are also serving one another, so my prayer unto Your lotus feet is that they may always be under the loving care of Your glance. Please, if You wish, grant them all protection, we really need their association, so please if You so desire, allow them to overcome successfully the operation, to fully recover, and become more strong and powerful to continue their loving service to Guru and Krsna.

Your humble servant,
Akarsini Radhika devi dasi
