Kushakratha prabhu called the "Goloka Airlines" hospice staff here at terminal 108, MVT (Mayapur-Vrndavana Trust Guesthouse) in Vrindavan last month. He has finally colapsed and is finally accepting seva from the devotees here. He is bedridden and only skin and bones. Because he took no chemotherapy he is actually doing pretty well- mentally sharp as a tack and still doing some poetry. He listens to Srila Prabhuiada tapes and the Krishna-Balarama Mandira radio station for classes and the 24hr kirtan. He is very peaceful and not yet in very much pain although the tumors have grown extensively in his throat and now in the spine. He was given a lovely special compression-free bed, soft pillows and new covers. He seems quite ready for his flight out and the doctors feel it can be within a few months or sooner.

Yours in the service of Srila Prabhupada,
Krsna Kumari devi dasi,
Vrindavan
