Suresh was immediately taken to a hospital. A\u00a0 Life member from Haryana sponsored his medical expenses and three devotees stayed with him for a few months, taking turns attending him.\u00a0 After recuperating at his family\u2019s home , he\u00a0 came back to\u00a0 padayatra in mid April in full health and high spirits. Suresh\u2019s main service is in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>A few words about Jagannath Baba,\u00a0 Baladeva and Subhadra:\u00a0 on June 26, while walking through a village called Rampur Hari (70 kms before Patna) we came across these deities who were \u00a0kept in a small shed next to a school. Upon investigation locals told us that they were originally in a temple which was damaged and were then\u00a0 moved to this temporary shed. They affectionately called Lord Jagannath, \u00a0Jagannath Baba.<\/p>\n<p>While we were in Muktinath \u00a0Avadhuta Nitai das found a shaligram sila in the Gandaki river. It is now being worshiped on the altar along with Sri Sri\u00a0 Nitai Gaurasundar.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\"
