Many devotees who are very dear to me have physically departed from this world due to the Covid-19 virus. This breaks my heart.

Srila Prabhupada desired that we do the needful to take care of our health. Our health belongs to Srila Prabhupada.

Sincere devotees who are specialist doctors of Allopathy, Ayurveda, and Homeopathy have all strongly urged me to get vaccinated.

Out of respect for them and their care, knowledge, and experience, I have been vaccinated against Covid-19.

Regarding personal health, each devotee has the responsibility to decide what is best for him or her. Since several devotees have asked me, I have written this personal statement to share my concerns and let them know what I have done.
