Hare Krishna dear devotees!

Unfortunately we have some unpleasant news about some of our local devotees. 

Many of us know Banuja mataji. She is an amazing devotee in our community whose main service is worshiping our beloved Radha Gopinath on the altar. She is known for being involved in so many other services in our temple for many many years! Her husband, Atal Pandey is also a very sincere devotee of Shri Shri Radha Gopinath who has done lots of service in our community for long time!

Sadly, Atal Pandey was diagnosed with cancer last week. Fortunately, the cancer didn't progress too much and radiation was made. Due to severe radiation, prabhu's intestine broke in a couple of places and colostomy(intestine surgical procedure) had to me made. Right now prabhu is in the hospital and is recovering. Prabhu is stable but very weak and need all your prayers. Prayers are needed and email with a few kind words of support and best wishes are welcomed! 

Please feel free to email Banuja mataji at atalp...@hotmail.com. They will be happy to receive an email from you! Prabhu will go through them when he is in a better physical state. It will definitely mean a lot to them! 

Also, mostly all of us know Jettu or Jatin Bhandari. He is an amazing young devotee whose passion is kirtan. Jettu is a fabulous mrdanga player, kirtaneer and an organizer of various kirtans in our community. He is one of the big inspirations behind kirtan in our temple. His mom, Anita Bhandari slipped and fell. Due to her fall she broke her foot. Right now she is at home and recovering. Prayers are welcomed. Please feel free to email mataji at anit...@hotmail.com to wish speedy recovery!

your servant,

Tara
