Tribhuvannatha Prabhu Terminally ill
By Vipramukhya Swami

Mayapur, India - (March 8, 2001): Tribhuvannatha Prabhu, a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada who joined ISKCON in England soon after devotees first arrived there, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer while visiting Nairobi, Africa.

He returned to the U.K. last weekend.

The cancer is in an advanced stage, and it is suspected by doctors to have spread to his lymph glands. Doctors are recommending removal of the stomach followed by chemotherapy.

If he does not have his stomach removed the doctors predicted he would not live more than a few months.

"Tribhuvannatha intends to travel to Brazil to see the healer Sridhar Swami has been seeing," reports Panca-pandava dasa from Bhaktivedanta Manor in the U.K. "He is not enthusiastic about undergoing chemotherapy."

Panca-pandava also reported, "I think after his return from Brazil he will want to go to Vrndaban."
