Belated Maharaja Health Update - 1 June 2007

On Monday Maharaja went back to Dr. Sanjaya Nijhara after a two week break that was considered part of his treatment. This two week break came after six full-on weeks of treatments at least three times a week.

These treatments were in the category of pain management. It involved inserting several 3-4 inch needles into the muscles that surround the area of pain. The needles cause the muscles to relax, which in turn reduces the tension in that area and ultimately reduces the pain. It is nothing short of miraculous the way this doctor is serving Maharaja and dealing with the pain. This method is much more natural than injections, heavy drugs or surgery.

Anyhow on Monday Maharaja moved to the second phase of his treatments which is "Increasing Mobility" and which involves daily physio-therapy and home exercises. The exercises are simple but increasing Maharaja's mobility already. He is definitely on the mend.

There is a meeting on Saturday morning with the doctor to decide how long this phase will last before Maharaja is discharged back to Govardhan with his own set of home exercises.

Please keep the prayers coming. Although this is taking time - this is a natural healing process and much better long term than the quick fixes on the modern day.

The picture above is not Dr. Nijhara, but one of the physio therapists Dr. Neeraj Gogio. This doctor has come to visit us at the Temple and is asking many questions of Maharaja. You can see in this picture Maharaja is preaching up a storm! :)

More later...
