Tribhuvannatha Prabhu "Hanging In There"
By Vipramukhya Swami

CHAKRA (Bhaktivedanta Manor, England) - July 10, 2001: Tribhuvannatha Prabhu, a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada who has been suffering from advanced stomach cancer, is still trying to overcome his disease “on all fronts.”

He is presently in Brazil under the care of a famous, natural “healer,” having given up hope with Western doctors.

“I consulted with a top stomach cancer specialist in the U.K, and as Vipramukhya Maharaja says, the truth is that the disease has spread to other parts of the body,” he says.

Doctors have told him he has only a 25% chance of not having the cancer return even after drastic surgery, including removal of the stomach and lymph nodes. “I have met many people who had partial or full stomach removal, and in all honesty the cancer did appear again in the stomach or other parts of the body. It is a vicious disease and plays by no rules!”

Tribuvannatha Prabhu says he was “due to be dead a month or so ago,” and yet he is still doing alright, although he is unsure of the future.

“It’s a big struggle for me and I am trying as best I can to do what is right for my service to Srila Prabhupada,” he says.

He says would even try surgery and radiation treatment if he thought it would work.

“The healer here in Brazil has given me encouragement, and he says the progress is positive so far. It’s a time waiting game and lots of prayers at the Lotus Feet of Sri Sri Gour Nitai, to do whatever They want with this useless bag of bones if they have any further plan here at present for me. Otherwise the great waves of time wait for no one. So I need to get ready for all possibilities.”

Tribhuvannatha Prabhu says he is praying for the blessings of the devotees around the world. He still is able to move around. He even attends the Sunday program at the temple in Brasilia, and continues to worship his Gaura-Nitai deities.

Tribhuvannatha Prabhu has an email address. He may be contacted at tribhuvannatha.acbsp@pamho.net
