Subal & Family

A Simple Family In Need

New Stem Cell Technology

offers great hope

Subal Prabhu

•His Grace Subal Krishna

Das is a very simple, hard-

working and honest man.

He is now aged 53.

Page 5: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

Subal Prabhu• I have known him

since @1990. He used to

work as the gardener in

the ISKCON (Hare Krishna)

Temple of Lord Jagannath

in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Page 6: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

Subal Prabhu

• He is a disciple of HH

Jayapataka Swami Maharaj.

Page 7: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

Subal Prabhu

•He would always

be at mangalarati at 4.30

am daily (till caring for his

son prevented him from

continuing this practice).

Page 8: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

Subal Prabhu

•Always smiling, humble

& ever-ready to do any

service, everyone who

knows Subal prabhu

loves him!

Page 9: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

Subal Prabhu

•Born in very humble

circumstances, he only

had a few years of

primary school education.

Page 10: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

His first marriage

unfortunately

failed, and later

he re-married Letchumi

Mataji, who also hails from

a simple family.

Page 11: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

• In 1995, they had a

beautiful son

whom they

named

Dananjaya.•Naturally, they showered

all their love upon him.

Page 12: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya
Page 13: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya
Page 14: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya
Page 15: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya
Page 16: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya
Page 17: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•Dananjaya was an

active, healthy child.

But when he was 6, he

began falling often and

showed signs of weakness

in his limbs.

Page 18: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•Sadly, a year later,

he was diagnosed

with a rare hereditary

genetic disorder called

Duchenne Muscular

Dystrophy.

Page 19: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya
Page 20: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya
Page 21: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•This disorder causes

all the muscles of

the body to waste

away, slowly weakening

with time.

•There is no known cure.

Page 22: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•Subal carried him to

school & back daily

until it became too

strenuous for him to

continue while managing

his demanding work at the

same time.

Page 23: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya
Page 24: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya
Page 25: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya
Page 26: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya
Page 27: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•There is no known cure

for Duchenne Muscular

Dystrophy but there are

various therapies to

strengthen the muscles

and/or slow down the

degeneration.

Page 28: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•His parents naturally try

every type of treatment

(ayurvedic etc.) & every

type of food supplement

etc. that they can afford.

Page 29: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•Many years ago, with

Subal’s excellent cooking

skills, they started a small

Krishna-prasadam food

stall in KL, Brickfields (Little

India), near KL Sentral.

Page 32: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

• They start

work by 5

am daily,

preparing

breakfast

for their

customers.

Page 33: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

• Subal prabhu is well-known

for lovingly & generously

serving Krishna Prasadam

with a smile to all who

come to his stall, providing

a vital service for the

Vaishnava community in KL.

Page 36: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•There are many other

food shops nearby.

•Getting steady workers is

a big challenge –

frequently they go away

from the hard work to

some easier job.

Page 37: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•Prices are very

competitive and

the profit

margin, small.

Page 38: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•Subal does the best he can

to meet all these

challenges, depending on

Lord Krishna’s mercy.

Page 39: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•They work very hard

and live in very

humble circumstances

in a rented room just

opposite their rented

food stall.

Page 40: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•Caring for their child

in all respects in

between keeping up

the business takes up

all their time and

energy.

Page 41: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•Subal & Letchumi

have spent all the

savings from their hard-

earned money on their

son’s treatment.

Page 42: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•As loving parents,

I think they suffer

more than their

darling child. They can’t

help but do their very

best to give him the best

quality of life possible.

Page 43: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

• In recent years, with

financial help of generous

well-wishers, Dananjaya

spent more than 2 years in

India (Tamil Nadu, Kerala &

Karnataka) undergoing

different treatments.

Page 44: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•While he was in India,

every 6 months or so,

Subal would leave the

business in Letchumi’s

hands & to go to India and

spend some time with him.

Page 45: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•Some of these

treatments did give

him a little more

strength and

helped reduce his

suffering.

Page 46: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

2 years ago in India Now (2013)

Page 47: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•There is no known

cure, so treatment

and exercise must

always continue.

Page 48: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•Recently, as the disease

progresses with his age,

Dananjaya has weakened

so much that he can’t turn

himself over while sleeping,

can’t feed himself, nor

bathe himself.

Page 49: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•This takes a great toll on

his parents as they too are

growing older. Even their

sleep is broken: several

times each night they have

to help turn him over.

Page 50: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•They recently heard of

some very good results

from stem cell therapy, a

new technology which

offers some hope for

persons with this

condition.

Page 51: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•Please see

www.neurogen.in for

details and testimonies

about the treatment.

Page 52: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•Some of these did give

him a little more strength

and helped reduce his

suffering.

•There is no known cure,

so treatment and exercise

must always continue.

•Some recipients of this

therapy have had up to

50% improvement in

their condition.

Page 54: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•This gives great hope

for the parents that

this treatment may

help improve the

quality of all their lives.

Page 55: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

• If he could just sit up

and down by himself, or

feed or bathe by himself,

it would be such a great

relief for them.

Page 56: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

• It is naturally heart-

rending for the parents

to simply watch their

darling son suffering

thus right before their

eyes. They have to keep

trying their best for him.

Page 57: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•They are very sincere,

honest, hard-working

people, doing their very

best to care for their

son, who means

everything to them.

Page 58: My humble appeal:  Dananjaya

•A friend helped commu-

nicate with Neurogen

Institute in Mumbai about

the family’s limited finance

& they generously gave a

discount of about 26%.
