Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.🙏

All glories to you and Srila Prabhupada. 🙏

Thank you so much for your encouragement 🙏🙏

Here is the general prayer request from the temple:

Dear devotees,

Hare Krishna

I have been informed that Mitreya Rsi prabhu (Michael Parr), a disciple HG Radha Krishna Prabhu, will be undergoing a spinal surgery tomorrow that will be performed in two stages. One surgery will be performed on Monday (2/16/26) and the second one on Thursday (2/19/26)during the same week. The surgery is to reconstruct aspects of his spine including placement of spinal rod, pins, screws, and spacers. He will be an inpatient for at least a week, if all goes well, he will be discharged on Sunday, 2/23/26. He will then transition to physical therapy.

Please keep him in your prayers for a successful and speedy recovery.

And here is one reply:

Hare Krishna I came in Monday and with Krishna's mercy I will be discharged today (Friday). Mondays surgery went well Thursdays was delayed and lasted three hours plus . The pain is strong but is being managed by medication for the most part. I've been up and walked so I'm doing well thank you. I hope to make it to the temple within a week or two. I miss it greatly.

He goes very often to the nightly Bhagavad Gita class and yes I think he was in some branch of the military.

One time you started a sketch book and gave it to me to add to it. Then it went to Bhakta Angel, and finally it was to be completed by him as the last person in the "art chain".

Thank you Guru Maharaja!

Your servant,

Jaya Hari das

HpS - Yes, agtSP, I think he is the former Navy Corpman that we all know and love.

Gave us apple juice that went to Lord Nrisimha.

Thank you.

Certainly hope his body is aligned perfectly with his service.
