In a social media post from Radhapriya Devi Dasi who serves as secretary to Mahatma Das, she said, “After routine testing, Mahatma Das’s doctors discovered a significant blockage in his arteries, requiring urgent surgery. To prevent a potential heart attack, they have scheduled the heart surgery for Monday, September 23, from 7 am to 12 pm EDT in Gainesville, Florida.

We kindly ask for your prayers for a smooth and successful procedure and recovery. During this time, he requests that no messages or emails be sent directly to him, as he would like to rest and recover peacefully.
