Spiritual leader Sathya Sai Baba, who was hospitalized on March 28 following problems related to heart and respiration, passed away on Sunday morning.According to sources, Sai Baba breathed his last at 6.25am on April 24, 2011.
Preparations for last rites are under way. Four lakh devotees from India and abroad are expected to arrive.
n the Saturday evening bulletin, the doctors had termed Baba's condition as very critical. Fearing the worst, hundreds of devotees in the town broke down as their hopes for recovery of the 85-year-old spiritual guru appeared to be fading.
Heart-rending scenes were witnessed at Sri Satya Sai Super Speciality hospital at Prasanthi Gram on the outskirts of Puttaparthi on Friday as a large number of devotees had started crying inconsolably following reports that their `beloved' Bhagawan's health condition had deteriorated further.
Several devotees, including foreigners, thronged the main gate of the hospital and offered harathis and poojas on the road seeking the `safe return' of Baba from the hospital bed.
