Maharaja, please forgive me for taking such a long journey with this words, but it's been a long time since I wrote to you. I just started this letter to suggest that you see an otolaryngologist specializing in voice.

HpS - General, agtSP, practice doctor says that our throat is nothing special. within the category of general care. 🙂

Please, Maharaja, I don't like going to the doctor either, it's been many years since I last saw one. I know that Srila Prabhupada didn't like seeing Western doctors either, He had His Ayurvedic doctor. I know that you also have your Ayurvedic doctor. Modern Western science has produced good technological machines, such as airplanes, computers, telephones, microphones, headphones, satellites, telescopes that can almost see Lord Surya, sophisticated microscopes that can almost see Paramatma inside the atom... and specialized medical equipment.

You are an instrument of Krishna and a direct servant of Srila Prabhupada and His mission. Your voice is also an instrument of Krishna and Srila Prabhupada, because you only speak about Them and everything you say you relate to Them. If you are still here, it's because of Their will. They surely want you to continue preaching and helping us, such unqualified people. If it weren't for devotees like you, people like me would have no chance of advancing on the spiritual path, and there are so many like me in this world, we are the Kali Yuga addicts!

Please, Maharaja, I'm sure that if you want it, will be very easy for you to find a specialist to examine your throat. Please forgive me for being so intrusive in your personal affairs.

Perhaps it's not just a common flu; you've been using your voice preaching intensely and teaching, giving conferences, all over the world for several years, decades.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Hare Krishna!
