Puttaparthi (Andhra Pradesh), April 4 : Spiritual leader Sathya Sai Baba's condition has turned critical, said doctors Monday.
'Sathya Sai Baba continues to be on ventilator support for helping his respiration and suction of the secretions from the lungs. He continues to be on CRRT (continuous renal replacement therapy) system to help the functioning of the kidneys,' said a statement issued by the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences.
The 85-year-old was admitted to a hospital here March 28 with pneumonia and breathing problems. The doctors also implanted pacemaker to regulate his heartbeat.
'His vital systems are not adequately responding. The panel of doctors treating him are doing their best to make the system to respond,' said the statement by A.N. Saya, director of the superspeciality hospital.
The statement by the hospital came hours after two Andhra Pradesh ministers told reporters that the guru was stable and all his vital parameters were functioning well.
The state government has also sent a team of doctors from Hyderabad to monitor his condition.
A large number of policemen have been deployed at the hospital as devotees continued to pour in to inquire about their spiritual leader's health. A section of devotees had Saturday tried to barge into the hospital.
Sathya Sai Baba, whose real name is Sathyanarayana Raju, had claimed in 1940 that he was an 'avatar' (incarnation) of god.
He became famous with his miracles but for the last two decades he had been focusing on social and charitable work.
