- All the night or do you (sleep) at the day sometimes?

- Because we get lots of that dahi. You drink it cool with a little sugar in it. I think it's good for digestion, dahi. How are you feeling today?
- Bhakti-caru is just waiting to go and get the kaviraja in the front. Do you want me to bring him?
- But are you feeling better, Swamiji?
- But I'm going on the argument that his medicine is doing some good. So I don't want to see it stopped. So you have no objection if we consult the other kaviraja, do you?

- Did that milk give you any mucus, Srila Prabhupada?

H
- He is telling that he's requesting repeatedly that Prabhupada doesn't talk too much. He says that the energy that he's building, the moment he starts talking, he loses that energy… Is that all right, Srila Prabhupada?

I
- I agree with that (you cannot say wrong or right (unless we want to say that this kaviraja is absolutely wrong)). So we have to say, "in case." So what is your point, Srila Prabhupada? That in case you don't gain strength...
- I don't know, but it may be more psychological, from laying in bed all the time. Naturally there is a feeling perhaps that one is... Weakness also means one's willpower becomes more weaker. Is that possible that that may be it?
- I don't think it's very painful to drink, is it? ... What is the reason you haven't been doing it the last few days?
- I don't think you're finding any difficulty here (Vrndavana), are you?
- I don't understand what you... You want to pass urine without drinking?
- I know I would take sometimes rice and plantain. It wouldn't have a good effect?
- I mean I wouldn't expect that you should be that much stronger, but I don't see why you should be weaker now. Do you think it may be psychologically that you're weaker? I mean, how would you know if you were weaker now?
- I think a little while later giving you full sponge bath and then changing the sheets. You want to do it now?
- I'll put a little oil on? It's against aching. This is all right… Upendra said. "Should I put a little?"
- I'm simply praying that Krsna in your stomach accepts everything, Srila Prabhupada. Would you like to lie down now, Srila Prabhupada?
- I'm very fine, Srila Prabhupada, but how are you feeling?
- If we are disgusted (I'll guide. Don't move me to the hospital. Better kill me here. But if you are disgusted, that is another thing)?
- If you lie down, then it's (spasm in the heart) staying (if I lie down straight... Lie down means spasm). And if you sit up?

- Is that all right (my taking the medicine means I am passing urine)?
- Is that all right (to massage)?... This whole waist area? This whole area?
- Is the sweet lemon juice giving some strength?

- Is there some bad effect to it that you feel, Srila Prabhupada, when you take that (Complan)?
- Is this giving you a little relief, Srila Prabhupada?
- Is this mattress hard for you, Srila Prabhupada?
- It may be better you drink some barley water. Do you mind drinking it?
- It was after the heart attack that you came here (to Vrndavana)?
- It was some instruction that you got (there was two days I was attacked in heart on the ship. So hardship. (Then you had a dream?) The dream was I must come here)?
- It's just that it takes longer. So if that's all right with you, then we won't even request you to sit up when it's time to give you something to drink. Would that be all right? Okay. Can I give you some barley milk, Srila Prabhupada, now?
- It's not acting (makara-dhvaja)? How can you tell so soon?
- It's not being digested? ... Things like soup and vegetable juices?
- It's not very painful to take the medicine, is it?… Does it taste bad, Srila Prabhupada, the medicine? Does it taste very bad?
J
- Jaya Srila Prabhupada. How many cc's is that, Bhakti-caru?… It's about forty… Forty. So give Prabhupada two more of those. Actually, usually you drink about 200 cc's of barley milk, and you've just drank about 50… Srila Prabhupada?
- Just because there was a little inability for sleep, why should you give up all of the, you know, regimentations which they're prescribing?
- Just try one more day. If all hope is frustrated, then what is the loss if we take that medicine one more day?
L
M

- Misri water. You like it?
- Most probably diminish your strength (I'm not improving in strength. And how can I improve by drinking little barley and milk and little fruit juice? I have no appetite for anything else. In case I... Most probably, I am diminishing my strength)?
N
O
P
- Pills are taken or not taken?
- Prabhupada also got sick in India. Remember? Two years ago in Vrndavana
- Prabhupada's supposed to take medicine now? He doesn't want to take? You don't want to take your medicine now, Srila Prabhupada?
- Prabhupada, did you have any problem with the stool today?
- Prabhupada? You haven't taken very much liquid today, only 200 cc's of juice, not counting the yamuna-jala. Would you like us to make you up some juice, pomegranate juice?
R
S
- Should we do that ("So I was given medicine by force in the spoon. Two men will catch me and my mother take me on the lap and then force and I shall take. I never agreed to take any medicine") now, Srila Prabhupada?
- So about in a half hour we can give you some juice maybe? Grape juice? Do you like grape juice?
- So is it (your health problem) affecting your translation work?
- So is this all right (we'll wait here for another week to ten days, and… the kaviraja will give us medicine, and you can take it for another week or so. After a week's time he'll come back, and then, after a few days, he'll take you to Mayapur)?
- So the doctor there, he's prescribed some tablets and things. Do you want?
- So the fact that Prabhupada is passing stool is very unnatural, at least for taking fruit juice. He's not eating anything, so how can he pass stool four times? What is the stool coming from if he's not eating?

- So you feel a little hopeful?
- So you want me to bring them (doctors) here?
- So you want to change your sleep hours?

- Srila Prabhupada, you look well. Are you feeling well?
- Srila Prabhupada, you're not really going to try and eat that khicuri are you?
- Srila Prabhupada? About two days ago you said that either the kaviraja should stay here or we should go with him. So why should we change that idea?
- Srila Prabhupada? Are you feeling a little relief now? Try and take some rest now, Srila Prabhupada
- Srila Prabhupada? Can I wash your face now and wash your mouth?
- Srila Prabhupada? Can you turn onto your back again so I can do your other leg and your arms?
- Srila Prabhupada? Do you like to turn on one side? Would you like this side for a change, Srila Prabhupada?

- Srila Prabhupada? Srila Prabhupada? It's time for massage?
- Srila Prabhupada? Upendra wanted to clean you a little bit. Is that all right? Then after about a half hour or so we'll come back. He's going to clean you now
- Srila Prabhupada? We'll just lift your shoulders a slight bit so that we can pull the sheet out? Then it won't bruise. If I just lift you... Is that all right, Srila Prabhupada?
- Srila Prabhupada? When Upendra gives you your bath, there's some parts of your body he'd like to use soap on. Is that all right?
- Srila Prabhupada? You expected to immediately get some result by taking this makara-dhvaja?
- Srila Prabhupada? You said before that you..., that it is said that you were poisoned?
- Srila Prabhupada? You want to rest now? You've been talking for a long time. You want kīrtana or not now, Srila Prabhupada?
- Stop it completely (makara-dhvaja)?
- Supposing he prescribes and it has a reverse reaction, then if he's gone how will he see anything?
- Swelling is reduced, Prabhupada?
T
- Take barley water now?
- That (you are not digesting food, so therefore there is some swelling in the hands and the legs) is due to the kidney?
- That kaviraja felt pretty confident that if we wait this long, you will get some more strength. I think we should wait. Everyone is feeling that way. You're not unhappy here, are you?
- That's because liver's not working?
- That's for the kidney? Next one we'll keep. There'll be more. Prabhupada, you want to try for passing urine?

- The milk has no taste or you have no taste?
- The only bad effect is that you're having a little difficulty last night in sleeping. Is there any other bad effect?
- The powder massaging? Yes. Should we do it again? Can we put some just now? I can do?
- The svarna-sindhura is also similar in effect, for medicine, as medicine?
- The swelling is reduced. Isn't it, Srila Prabhupada? I mean, all of the signs, Srila Prabhupada, which the kaviraja wanted, are there… Did you hear what Bhakti-caru just said (as a matter of fact, he hasn't given any medicine to strengthen him up)?
- There's a lot of coughing today again?
- There's no rushing... He's not going to... Srila Prabhupada, what is the trouble to take more now? It's a botheration? But that's... At least you should take the same amount you were taking when you were sitting up
- They have so many people in boxes in the hospitals they are keeping alive. So the big battle is raging whether or not they should pull out the plug?
- This is glucose water. No taste?
- Today there's a little swelling in your... It seems to come and go… It seems to come and go. Is it bothering you?… Is it disturbing?... Really?
U
- Upendra and I would like to give you a massage. Is that all right? But to do good, full job, we have to lay you on your back. Is that all right?
- Upendra is here now. Should we give him the kismis to make?
- Urine? You want to try for it? Okay. Should we again continue some kirtana Srila Prabhupada? Okay
W

- We proceed to Mayapur, and Smara-hari can come back with the medicine to Mayapur. All right?

- We'll stop the chanting for a little while?
- We'll wait for the bath?
- Well, according to every physician that we've consulted, Ayurvedic and allopathic, they say that that's very much required. Is it painful to pass urine?
- Well, It's because of these things (as far as possible we do not go even to the doctor), that they're wondering well then, what do we do with the money?
- Well... Go on giving you juice and barley water, kirtana. Maybe eventually the situation will change. How can we stop trying to feed you and take care of you? Krsna can intercede at any moment
- What about eating or taking liquids?
- What about milk? He wants you to take milk also with the Complan?
- What about when it happens amongst the community of devotees or some, hepatitis, or malaria, or something of that nature (it's true that people are getting disease and sicknesses as the result of their past activities, pious or sinful)?
- What can we do, Srila Prabhupada (we have become very, very weak. No appetite. The brain is not working. Brain is working, but body is not allowing... I am complete... Now it is up to Krsna to judge... I have no objection)?
- What does the kaviraja say about your chances, Srila Prabhupada? What does he say about your chances of surviving?

- Where should I massage you especially? Which part?
- Why can't you give us your old age?
- Why is that the best thing, Srila Prabhupada? Why is that the best thing (the best thing is no medicine and kindly give me some (sic:) circumambulation and leave me to the fate)?
- Why not live for six or seven years and then go on parikrama and die? If the parikrama can always be done, why not put it off for six or seven more years of preaching?
- Why not take barley water instead of milk? I mean is milk better than barley water?
- Why should you stop taking this medicine, Srila Prabhupada?
- Why you're not drinking anything, Srila Prabhupada? ... You don't feel thirsty at all?

- Would you like a little water, Prabhupada?

- Would you like some? We can bring you some nim leaves?

Y

- You are ready for bathing, Srila Prabhupada?
- You can do it in two hours, but by bullock cart it will take five hours. We have... You had difficulty even doing a half-hour parikrama around this temple. You became very faint. Whether you think that you can go five hours in a row?

- You feel weaker?
- You have pain in that hip, Srila Prabhupada?
- You mentioned this morning that when you sit up you feel a little stronger now. I think it's good that you're not taxing yourself in any way. That's important. Would you like to do something specific right now, Srila Prabhupada?
- You said you're losing your willpower?… Don't you think there has been a slight improvement, Srila Prabhupada? Over last few days there has been a little improvement?
- You slept many, many, many hours. How do you feel?
- You still have massages every day?
- You want it now (massage), Srila Prabhupada?

- You want to try that, Srila Prabhupada (yogendra-rasa)?
- You were getting seasick?

- You won't let us help you to have that stamina?
- You're always leaning. You're not able to sit up straight. Of course, that was there also even a week ago, but it seems a little more noticeable now. Do you think you are weaker now than you were a week ago?
- You're feeling a little stronger today, Srila Prabhupada?
- You're not feeling any discomfort?
- You're not feeling up to a walk this morning? It affected your kidney or your digestion?
