Om Sairam dearest Sai Family,

(First of all, I want to apologise you all, as some devotees did not like some of the words that were used in some of my updates about Swami.. I whole heartedly apologise and they are not intentional. In future I will be doubly careful and I really don't have any intention of sensationalising this particular episode of Swami's hospitalisation)

The Village Deity Sathyamma's statue, which was thrown in the river because of a small damage a year ago, was brought back to Parthi in a huge procession.One lady from Puttaparthi, was possessed by Goddess Sathyamma and she said, all will be fine if the statue was brought back to Parthi. Hearing this every one rushed to the river but couldn't find the statue which was immersed in Bukkapatnam river less than a year ago. Immediately that lady who was possessed by Goddess Sathyamma was taken to the river and she showed the exact place where was the statue was deep under water.
Here is a small video attatched which shows the happiness of the villagers of Parthi, while the Goddess was brought back to Parthi.
This might sound bit weird to many, but FAITH IS GOD. When it is comes with Swami and His (physical) well being, we are ready to do anything... All the positive Vibes will definitely yield positive results.
While I am typing this email, watching the latest news in various telugu news channels, just now Minister Mrs.Geetha Reddy who is camping in Parthi for a week now, speaking to media persons said this good news about Swami. to roughly translate, she said, Swami's all the vital organs are functioning properly. He is still on ventilation and the CRRT dialysis is being continued. She said, if Swami's kidneys get back to normal, He will be perfectly normal without any more complications. Swami's BP and liver is fine. His temperature is also normal. Only thing is Kidneys have to become normal. If He wills it will definitely happen even without the help of the doctors. He is opening His eyes and His holy Feet and hands are moving. His respiratory system is fine. She continued: I JUST GOT INSIDE INFORMATION, TODAY MORNING, BHAJANS WERE SUNG FOR SWAMI (PROBABLY IT HAPPENED IN THE HOSPITAL BHAJAN HALL AND IT WAS AUDIBLE TO SWAMI WITH THE HELP OF SPEAKERS IN ICU) and after some time when some one approached Swami asking if arathi is to be given, Swami signaled for Arathi!!!! This news is a VERY VERY GOOD NEWS for every one us... It is just a great relief and definitely a welcome news. Because of tubes in His mouth, He is not talking but He is nodding His head.
Former Chief Minister of Maharashtra Sri.Ashok Chavan came to Parthi. Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, who was expected to come to Parthi didnt come. (the above information is not an official one, but as seen on TV while the minister was speaking to the media) For the video of Goddess Sathyamma's procession please click the following link.

According to sources, there are good chances of one more medical bulletin by Dr.Safaya and this time it will be a Video Medical Bulletin which will cover the whole medical procedures done on Swami since His hospitalisation.

Mean while Please read a discourse given by Swami which suits good for His present situation and is also a good one for all (some) of us who are bit concerned about Swami.

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. Ifyou 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.
