Jahnavi Dasi, Former CKI Director Hospitalized

BY ISKCON COMMUNICATIONS

USA, Jul 2 (VNN) — Dear Devotees and Friends, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

This letter is to request your prayers for a dear Vaishnavi, gurukuli, and special friend of Krishna youth.

Jahnavi dasi, Jennifer Haggard, a gurukuli and former Director of Children of Krishna, is in critical condition in the hospital in Gainesville, Florida.

Jahnavi, 32, a lifelong diabetic, went into the hospital on Friday, June 25.

On Sunday, her doctors operated and removed two large tumors from her abdomen. Preliminary tests show the tumors are not malignant. However, other organs are severely inflamed, she has pneumonia, and she is breathing with a respirator. She is under heavy medication to prevent infection. The next few days of recovery are critical, and her condition is life threatening.

We ask all the devotees to please pray for Lord Krishna to give her strength, to protect her, and to help her fully recover.

The devotees familiar with Children of Krishna know that Jahnavi worked tirelessly for Krishna youth before, during, and after her 5 years as Director of CKI. She has been an outspoken advocate of the youth, and gave much of her energy to help rebuild relationships between our devotee generations.

Please keep her in your prayers.

Your servant,

Anuttama dasa

Children of Krishna
