Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba continues to be in a critical state of health. Although His vital parameters and indices are nearly normal, yet the condition of the liver and intermittent episodes of low blood pressure are still a cause of worry.

He continues to be on assisted ventilation to help His lungs and on CRRT to assist His kidney functioning.

The panel of doctors are watching Him round the clock and giving all the necessary treatment to keep Him in a stable state of health.

And in the township, the previous evening it was clearly a play of rain and reign…the natural elements were openly lending their support to the persistent pledge of prayers, by not only the residents of Parthi, but devotees all over the world, in whose hearts Beloved Bhagawan reigned supreme. The roar of thunder fuelled the storm of devotion in every heart, the gusty winds carrying their devoted fervor echoing into the ether, only to mingle with fresh wisps of adoration throughout the planet.

The rain did not dampen the will of Parthi but delivered their spirits into the realm where the benevolent, limitless One reigned absolute.

Prayers, a myriad chants, devotional hymns, continued in respective homes and temple complexes. Some took rounds, circumambulating the shrine while others did surround the deity with adulation. From offering garlands made up of betel leaves to Hanumanji, seemingly asking him to carry their message to Sai Rama, to festoons of fragrant flowers, devotees continued their efforts to woo their dear Lord.

Keeping in mind the whimsical, fathomless and mysterious ways of the One, Who sat under the Neem tree in Shirdi, it appeared to them, that the same mystifying, inexplicably mystical phenomenon had been carried forward into Parthi. Erring humanity had to be taught lessons that would wake them up from their slumber.

They had made a firm choice – Ours is not to question why… ours is but to follow Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai.

And so it was, that the crusade of their trust, faith, love and hope was not to be overcome or disturbed by the tiresome tirade of tattered tongues.

The evening Medical Bulletin on Bhagawan's health issued at 1700 hrs. states He continues to be in a critical state of health. Read the full report:

Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba continues to be in a critical state of health. His vital parameters of health are quite stable and satisfactory although the vital organs are showing slow response to the treatment, yet the doctors are hopeful of the eventual success of the treatment given to Him.

He continues to be on assisted ventilation. His kidneys are supported by CRRT system.

The panel of doctors treating are watching the status of His health continuously.

The sky was overcast in the evening bringing a monsoon touch during the ongoing peak summer. Intermittent drizzle coupled with lightning and thunder made it all the more nostalgic of the summer that is still a month and a half away.

Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba who was admitted to this hospital on 28th March continues to be in a critical state of health. His vital systems, including liver, are showing minimal response to the treatment, which is a cause of worry for the treating doctors.

His blood pressure continues to show periodic fluctuations, which is being corrected by appropriate drugs.

The panel of doctors attending upon Bhagawan Baba is keeping close, constant watch of His health parameters.

In the meanitime, devotional fervour and sadhana of Parthi continues. On the the previous Monday evening there was a special pageant from the village of Gokuntlapalli, near Bukkapatnam. This gathering comprised of simple village folks of all age groups - men, women and children, who with great fervor and dedication, carried placards in their hands that had pictures of Shirdi and Parthi Sai, as well as a ‘get well soon’message for their Lord, in English and Telugu. The candles of hope that they held in their hands, were placed around the parapet surrounding the deities under the lush green foliage of the Peepal tree. Twilight gently crept in, and the twinkling stars watched with delight, even as some of them offered flowers of worship to Lord Ganesha.

The procession then continued to the Hanuman Mandir where an amazing moonrise waited to greet them. The full Moon, brilliantly golden hued, seemed to be worshipping Sathyamma, paying obeisance to Her, with its silver rays caressing her beatific profile and lotus feet. The Goddess, dressed in stunning green silk sari with a red border, smiled resplendently.

It being Hanuman Jayanti the entire temple complex was bathed with moon beams that seem to enchant and be enchanted with the bhajans and chants, the pealing of bells and the aarati that was being offered to Bhagawan. Devotees prayed to Hanumanji, the valiant one, who is considered the most devoted, to bring forth the Sanjivani and carry their appeal to their Lord to be amidst them soon.

In this sacred village, prayers and adulation continued in every temple, street and home, for the wellbeing of the cherished Son of Parthi, verily the Soul of Parthi and the entire creation. They had witnessed the alarming time of the ‘scorpion bite’ and the full manifestation of little Sathya, into Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai. Over the years, they were aware of and had experienced His control over time and space and the elements too. For them the unrestrained urban utterances and their wily ways were only dust in the wind.

As per the evening Medical Bulletin Bhagawan continues to be in a state of stable health. Read on:

Now on to the valley of peace and her penance for her Soul, Puttaparthi is determined to be on the inward path, the true Sadhana. Along with collective bhajans and many a potent chant at various temples, individual efforts too are being stepped up. From ringing of temple bells, to offerings of worship to the various deities, to prayers with family as well as in seclusion – there is only one desire in all hearts – the well being of Beloved Bhagawan. Adding to it comes Narayana Seva, at individual and group level, an activity that symbolises and stimulates serving the needy.

Turning away from the world and its ways, ignoring its baits and lures, cacophony and chaos, knowing it to be tinsel and trash, Parthi has decided to make its own world – where Shraddha reigns supreme and Saburi is the crowning glory. Faith and Patience continues from Shirdi to Parthi, at this hour of need, understanding and being aware.

Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba continues to show stability in the vital parameters of His health. He is still on assisted ventilation, and on CRRT to help His kidneys.

In the meanwhile, Puttaparthi was calm and serene in the previuos evening. Oblivious to malicious talk and unperturbed by vicious pens, Puttaparthi continued her Sadhana, in a calm vein. In temples and individual homes chants and bhajans rang out. The village geared up for akhanda bhajan and night-long vigil and hence there was no procession on the streets last evening; however, the inner procession continued nonstop as it should be. The world over the feeling should be thus: Where the mind is without I, and the heart full of Sai, into that heaven of freedom, Oh Lord let my soul awake!!!

Last evening Parthi received an extra grace, as heavens opened up bringing the first touch of rain upon Mother Earth. With bhajans on, raindrops came falling down for ‘her’ first touch on Mother Earth on this hallowed land of God. This refreshing shower was accompanied by occasional thunder and lightning. Cool breeze wafted through the valley of peace spreading fresh fragrance all over making it heavenly.

And it appeared that this day's procession was reserved for the celestial ones, who took their cue from the village folks of Parthi. They too worshipped the Lord with sound of thunder (bhajans) and instead of candles sent out flashes of lightning. Indeed, rain was the grace of the Beloved!!!

The health status of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is under constant review by Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust in the light of the medical bulletins issued by the Director of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, since the time of His admission to the hospital on the 28th of March, 2011.

Chants of ‘Om Sri Sai Ram’ rang out aloud and echoed in the ether. Accompanying this devoted gathering was a floral float drawn by a tractor. Colorful bouquets and flowers bedecked the gigantic photo frame of Beloved Bhagawan. They passed on their ‘candles of love, hope, faith and worship’, as an offering, which was collected by sevadal and devotees from inside the Ganesh gate and made to adorn the parapet surrounding the deities under the canopy of the peeple tree opposite Ganesha.

A myriad candles glowed bright with unified prayers and collective harmony.

Further down the main street of Puttaparthi, children sang and danced in circular formations, even as the elders of the village played the drums and cymbals with synchronized rhythm.

Medical Bulletin released at 1800 hrs. this evening reads...

Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba continues to be in a stable condition of health. His clinical parameters like blood pressure, respiratory rate, biochemistry of the blood and other parameters are satisfactory.

His respiration is easier than before and His dialysis support has also been reduced.

The panel of doctors attending upon Him is keeping a strict watch on all His clinical parameters and state of health.

Can Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba be ever sick and inactive? No, He can never be, not even while He is in the hospital bed. At a time when He is hospitalized, as part of the Self - scripted Divine Play, He may look to be inactive but, in reality is more active in a multifold proportion, sending out clear-cut signals to the world to pause, reflect, introspect and think...It's high time for humanity to recognise HIM as the One who has donned the garb of a human while being completely Divine! During an earlier occasion when He was termed ‘sick’ He spoke thus:

"Sometimes I have to take on these illnesses. This happens to all Avatars. It happened to the Shirdi Avatar and the Krishna Avatar. Though all these are not recorded, all incarnations have taken over the sufferings of devotees. God does His duty, whether it is recorded or not. I am ready to take on the sufferings of anyone, when they cannot bear it. I am ready, ready, and ever-ready for this.

These incidents are not obstacles in the way of God. Everything will go on as usual. As you have seen, during the last fifteen days I attended all the functions; I had to do lots of work and gave many discourses. Doctors came and advised me to take rest. I don’t want or need any rest. It is a mistake to think that I will become healthy by taking rest. Doing work while undergoing suffering is My rest.”

Give Up Dehabhimana, Develop Atmabhimana

Many of you are anxious thinking that Swami is not keeping good health over the last few days. In fact, My health is very good. Real health is not related to the body. As you equate Swami with this physical frame, it appears as though Swami is not well. Yad Bhavam Tad Bhavati (as is the feeling, so is the result). Do not identify Me with this physical body. I am not Dehaswarupa (body), I am Dehi (the indweller). There is no difference between you and Me. I have all powers in Me. But you are deluded seeing My physical form. Whatever I am doing is only to satisfy the doctors and other devotees. As a matter of fact, there is no trace of ill-health in Me. I am always healthy. Not only today, till 96 years I will be like this. I can do whatever I want. But those who go by the physical form think that Swami is ageing. Youth and old age are related to the body and not to Me. I am always the same. I can do anything. However, this body is yours. This has come for your sake. You can change it the way you like. If you think that Swami is strong and healthy, yes so He is. There is no weakness in Me. My angas (limbs) may appear to be weak. But I am not Angaswarupa, I am Atmaswarupa. Wherever you may go, worship God as Atmaswarupa. Do not identify Him with an Akara (form). Give up body consciousness and develop Atmic awareness. Only when you lead a spiritual life, will you be able to visualize the Atmaswarupa. If you identify Me with the body, I cannot walk even two steps. Do not think about the Akara. Have faith that I am the Atmaswarupa. Then I will always remain healthy.
