Conversations and Morning Walks

1977 Conversations and Morning Walks

Yes.
Doctor Visit and Conversation -- October 20, 1977, Vrndavana:

Dr. Gopal: Vomiting?

Prabhupāda: There was some tendency.

Dr. Gopal: There was some tendency, but you never had.

Prabhupāda: Had little.

Dr. Gopal: Do you feel any difficulty during urination?

Prabhupāda: Not at all.

Dr. Gopal: It is passing without any hesitation.

Prabhupāda: I think so.

Dr. Gopal: Now much urine he is passing every time?

Bhavānanda: Here's the book. Urine is here.

Dr. Gopal: This is yesterday. Yesterday total urine was about 290.

Bhavānanda: Day before was 495.

Dr. Gopal: It was 495 day before yesterday, and it is 290 only yesterday. Today's total urine is only...

Prabhupāda: I... A little after... I have taken miśri water just now.

Dr. Gopal: Miśri water. You like it?

Prabhupāda: Hm hm.

Dr. Gopal: What else you can take?

Prabhupāda: Hari-nāma.

Guest (1): Hari-nāma, hari-nāma. (laughing)

Dr. Gopal: Yes. Yes, I understand. For your body, I can say. Can you take little bit of ice cream or cold custard?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Dr. Gopal: Then please ask somebody to bring it.

Prabhupāda: Best thing hari-nāma.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Best thing.

Prabhupāda: Let me hear Hare Kṛṣṇa and peacefully pass away.

Dr. Gopal: But I think I am not making any hindrance in your normal routine. And whatever medicine I am giving you, I will cut it down by fifty percent now.

Prabhupāda: If I can pass in that way, that will be very nice.

Dr. Gopal: I think swelling is not there now.

Bhavānanda: This hand, swelling has completely gone.

Dr. Gopal: It is still there, but it is less. Can I see your throat? Say "Ah."

Prabhupāda: Ahhhhhhh.

Dr. Gopal: That's all. Sometimes he can keep...

Bhavānanda: A little while.

Dr. Gopal: Little while.

Bhavānanda: Otherwise, it becomes too uncomfortable.

Dr. Gopal: Does he feel very uncomfortable with this?

Bhavānanda: With his feet raised he feels some discomfort.

Dr. Gopal: Discomfort. (pause) Can you take a little turn either on this side? Did he have these sort of movement yesterday? Did he have this sort of movement yesterday?

Bhavānanda: Today. Yes. We moved his leg and bent his leg and arm.

Dr. Gopal: So I'll think that you just give something to eat, and let me know what is the result.

Devotee (2): Here's the... We brought custard for you.

Prabhupāda: What is that?

Upendra: We're going to give you a little... It's custard.

Bhavānanda: Dr. Gopal wants to give you some custard, some cold custard.

Dr. Gopal: I want to see the reaction after that, you have. You can give two-three cloves(?) so that he can take. Is it sweet enough to give you taste? I think we just want that Complan, and he just take only custard and ice cream, dhaniyā bread, that's all. Just stick to only these four things now. And then you can increase. Any amount of things, you can... How do you feel now? Do you like warm thing or cold thing?

Prabhupāda: Cold are better.

Dr. Gopal: Cold better. Liking is towards cold rather than towards hot.

Guest (1): Ice cream?

Dr. Gopal: Don't worry about this passing of flatus, stools, every time by the urination. You should not worry. Because a scab(?) is still there, this will be unavoidable(?). Otherwise you can give a little soft enema so that that scab should come out, and so there is no spurious(?) there, a little one is coming out every time with the eating.

Prabhupāda: We are not worried.

Dr. Gopal: So you should not bother about that diarrhea, because he's really exactly on proper diet. It is only the part. They are obstructing the free passage of stool because of that scab(?), dry feces there. So should it come out easily, either by enema or by manual pushing, then it's all right. So then there will be no problem of this diarrhea. Don't do anything to stop diarrhea.

Bhavānanda: And the restlessness at night, insomnia?

Dr. Gopal: Insomnia. Yes, he had. Because somebody told me yesterday also it is his usual feature that he doesn't want to sleep, or he's not sleeping, but he will... And it were before... As a routine he's not sleeping. So it may be that it is his habit that he doesn't like to sleep in the night. Because how many times he goes for urination in the night also? Does he go? How many times?

Upendra: Once, twice.

Dr. Gopal: Once, twice.

Upendra: Usually twice.

Prabhupāda: I... I'm feeling nicely.

Dr. Gopal: You are feeling?

Prabhupāda: After eating.

Dr. Gopal: Yes, after eating. So you just eat. Not very frequently. Little amount after every hour or every one and half hour, two hour, small quantities. Frequently small quantities. Not like this—only morning, have breakfast, lunch and the... Not four times. You can give eight times, ten times, twelve times. But only little bit. That much only, the amount he can digest easily. It should not come out. And a little of water, either plain water or with the electro powder, you can do.

Bhavānanda: That electro powder will reduce the nausea?

Dr. Gopal: No.

Bhavānanda: Will reduce it?

Dr. Gopal: This will reduce the nausea. You just give this electro powder. How much you are giving exactly?

Bhavānanda: Usually we give 150 milliliters of water with about 1 measure of the electro powder.

Dr. Gopal: In 150 ml? It will cause a little nausea also. If you... Do you have cold water?

Jayapatākā: That's the concentrated.

Dr. Gopal: This is concentrated. You should not give so much concentrated. You just, so to say, about six ounce of water... You just add less than 1 spoon, one measureful, of this electro.

Bhavānanda: Six ounces.

Dr. Gopal: In six ounces. And you give just two... (Hindi) Just give 2 teaspoon. Rest. Again 2 teaspoon. This is just sort of, you can call it as in the form of prasādam, or you can say in the form of rainwater so that his dryness should not be there in the mouth. It should always be wet. You understand my point?

Jayapatākā: He wants some cold water.

Trivikrama: Upendra went.

Whatever you give, I'll take.
Room Conversation -- October 21, 1977, Vrndavana:

Prabhupāda: Nitāi-Gaura. Śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya prabhu nityānanda, śrī-advaita gadādhara śrīvāsādi-gaura-bhakta.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Drinking is very good. Whatever you go, Kaviraji, allopathy, or Hare Kṛṣṇa devotees, all of them recommend drinking some liquids or eating. Of course, eating is... You are having a little difficulty eating, of course. Eating or drinking is good.

Prabhupāda: Let kīrtana go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, I told them.

Prabhupāda: Nitāi-Gaura. Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti (Bs. 5.38), (Tamāla Kṛṣṇa chants with Prabhupāda) yaṁ śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpaṁ govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi. Śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpam. Still the śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpam is going on; otherwise, simply some bones, nothing else. Everything is finished. Nitāi-Gaura and rāmādi-mūrtiṣu kalā-niyamena tiṣṭhan (Tamāla Kṛṣṇa chants with Prabhupāda) nānāvatāram akarod bhuvaneṣu kintu, kṛṣṇaḥ svayaṁ sama... (Bs. 5.39). You can give massage. Hm. So what is the next drinking?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What is the next drinking? Make something nice.

Prabhupāda: Hm?

Bhavānanda: It's cold custard.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Want some cold custard?

Prabhupāda: Whatever you give, I'll take.
