Hare krsna dear Gurudev
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my humble obeisances
Regarding and in response to letter https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/15797/
HpS/ASA - I remember we met in the Transit area when you both were returning from India. Vijaya govinda Das was recovering from some intense anxiety attack, and had taken some help from the medical staff in the airport.
We are too far away from this situation to offer practical, detailed advice.
yes, dear Gurudev, we cross paths on the international zone (transit area of the airport) back in 2022 in Lima, Peru (your very last visit in Peru).
I would like to clarify that incident a little further: I was standing in the check-in line when I suddenly began to feel a very intense abdominal pain. I went to the restroom, but the pain increased so much that within a few minutes I lost the ability to speak or even breathe normally. I could not call for help, so I just lie down on the floor waiting for assistance. By Krsna´s mercy, the airport medical team quickly arrived and also my entire family came.
The medical doctor performed a point-of-care test on me (probably to rapidly detect COVID or drug abuse), while my dad assisted me with a massage. After about 20 minutes been on the floor, I begin inhaling and exhaling without difficulty and feeling kind of relief, but still bewildered by this unusual situation.
Then medical doctor said it was an anxiety attack and I may continue my trip. she asked if this had happened before, my mom reply that it had never happened to me. At that moment, i was simply grateful to be alive and respiring again, I couldn’t think on argue back the medical staff, just wanted to say thanks and continue my trip. then I took a brief pause before continue traveling if the pain continuous and I could need more medical assistance, then right after that our paths crossed at the airport.
Once back in Paraguay, I went to hospital to get comprehensive medical exam, and the diagnosis was very clear: biliary colic caused by gallstone, which requires surgery (as I had already mentioned this in a previous letter: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/13677/).
HpS - Super news. Thank you!!!
Later, in December 2024, I had another similar episode of biliary colic when i was at the ISKCON Asunción temple, which led to an emergency surgery. By Krsna´s mercy, the surgery was successful.
In conclution, this incident at the airport was not a sign of emotional instability, nor a panic or anxiety attack, I have never suffered from such conditions or attacks or any psychiatric condition like this, in fact it was a medical issue -biliary colic by gallstone (Acute cholecystitis)- nowadays successfully treated surgically. I will attach medical reports that confirm all of this.
HpS/ASA . Next Vijaya Das may come back and make some contrasting description of the situation from his perspective.
My belief is that the entire letter does not reflect Narayani’s true voice, thoughts or will. instead it seems a letter influenced or even manipulated by someone else. That is my perspective. Therefore, I cannot directly respond to the specific points of that letter. I would rather safeguard and protect Narayani’s privacy and dignity above any other issue.
HpS - Thank you.
still i remain fully available to continue and resolve this matter in a private dialogue, not for my sake, but for the well-being of all parties involved.
Regarding the legal aspect of the divorce proceedings, I also think this is not the right place to discuss such matters. that aspect shall continue in the local judicial system.
HpS - Again, thank you. We agree. We had an exchange of WhatsApp letters on this with some of the people involved in conflict and others involved as mediators. Of course, this goes on in Krsna's lila as Rama and the Battle of Kuruksetra also. In Vraja it is refined and the conflict is delightful.
Within our devotional community of this blog, my desire is to keep the focus on devotional service to Sri krsna. so If further clarification is required, please do not hesitate to contact me. i will remain always disposal towards constructive dialogue.
kind regards
thank you
your servant
Vijaya Govinda das
HpS - Thank you!!!!
