Protima, wife of Sital Biswas, an aspiring disciple of HH Jayapataka Maharaja, lives in a village near Dhamrai, a Upazilla in the discrict of Dhaka, Bangladesh. They own a little land and Sital holds a job as night watchman in a cloths factory, enabling them to get along with their small family.
Recently Protima was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis, tightening of the heart valve controlling blood flow to the main artery; in her case aortic valve replacement surgery is urgently required. While being a fairly routine operation in modern clinics, it's neither trivial nor cheap. In India, the cost is approximately INR. 3,00,000, almost U$ 7,500 at today's exchange rate—far more than the family could hope to raise on their own.

During this Gaura-purnima Festival they approached HH Jayapataka Maharaja for help. Maharaja: "I have personally gone through the medical records of Pratima. She has severe Aortic Stenosis and needs heart valve replacement surgery. The cost of the surgery is between Rs. 2-3 lakhs (200,000 to 300,000 rupees)."
Maharaja himself donated some money, and via the JPSO.Communications conference on PAMHO his disciples have been requested to help. Until now the collected amount isn't nearly enough, though. That's why we are asking you to help, according to your financial abilities. You can donate via Paypal, or by transfering money into one of the following bank accounts:
