Dear Devotees,

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

With great urgency, we request the community of Vaisnavas to offer their
 sincere, heartfelt prayers at the lotus feet of Sri Sri Prahlad Nrsimhadeva
 to keep Their dear servant His Holiness Gopal Krishna Maharaj in the grace
 of Their merciful, protective glance.

Maharaj is an exemplary devotee, having lived a life of extraordinary
 dedication and surrender to his beloved spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada.
 Never wasting a moment, Maharaj renders service in so many capacities and
 with such expertise that in this time of failing health, we can know with
 full faith that Maharaj is directly under the shelter and guidance of His
 Divine Grace.

Nevertheless, as Srila Prabhupada directed his own disciples, we can 
approach our merciful Lord with the request that if He so desires, may our 
dear Gopal Krishna Maharaj recover his health and continue as an emblem of
 service and devotion in our midst.

At present, Maharaj has suffered three heart attacks and faces difficulty 
with kidney function. The doctors are trying their utmost to provide the
 highest level of care.
Please continue your prayers and join together for kirtan in your
 communities.

Hare Krishna,

Your servants,
Guru Prasad Swami
