Dr. Safia, who supervised the medical treatment to Sathya Sai Baba had been constantly saying that main organs of Sathya Sai Baba were not functioning normally. Baba’s health situation was remain under ‘critical’ condition as his liver function was worsened a few days back. Sai Baba’s organs almost stopped responding to medication. He was reported by several devotee writers as having said he will die at the age 95 and / or 96 years.
Apart from his miracles and their credibility and allegations of crime in the Aashram, Sathya Sai Baba has been actively involved in various social service programs. Sathya Sai Seva Trust is managing various Super Specialty Hospitals which provide treatment at minimum / less costs, providing education through Deemed University, Colleges, Schools etc. Sathya Sai Baba’s major contribution to Rayalaseema and Telangana region would be his drinking water schemes.

Today is a very sad day for all Sai Devotees ,we have lost our father ,the candle which burnt so brightly has been extinguished
In our most humblest thoughts of Baba ,who is a guiding soul in all our daily tasks,we feel that we have lost our most revered head of our family ,a person who has touched so many lives giving us hope and courage to see each hurdle as a challenge ,has left us too soon
May the strength and love you have shown to all of us see us through the next years ,which we feel will be the dark years ,when you will reincarnated in Prema Sai
Light & Love

OM SAI RAM. SATYA SAI BABA WILL TOGETHER WITH US FOR WHOLE LIFE. HE HAS A PLACE IN OUR HEART WHICH IS VERY SPECIAL. DON’T BECOME SAD BECAUSE HE IS NO MORE PHYSICALLY WITH US BUT HE IS IN OUR HEART.

trust will be spoiled some persons
Sir,- Bhagwan Sathya Sai Baba is no more with us, but His name will be remembered as long as we all live. May His soul rest in peace. Whatever mission Babaji took up for the upliftment of human kind, all should continue. Let the Trust be moved on the right path only. Perhaps, after the State and Central Governments, Sai Baba only could provide such a charitable work, so that all believers of God could get salvation.
Thank you. Let the path shown by Babaji lead us.
