Is Bhagwan Satya Sai Baba pulling off a miracle once again?
His devotees believe so, going by the medical bulletins issued by the doctors on the remarkable improvement in his health condition.
Doctors treating Sai Baba said on Friday that they were "optimistic" about his recovery.
“Sai Baba is showing positive signs of response to the treatment being given to him,” said an update from doctor A N Safaya from the Sri Satya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences at Puttaparthi.
"His health condition is stable though he is still on a ventilator and slow dialysis. The panel of doctors treating him is optimistic about his recovery,” he said.
Sai Baba is credited with many supernatural powers by his followers, including an ability to conjure objects out of thin air, remember past lives and cure terminal diseases. And his devotees believe that his powers would bring him back to normalcy.
In the past, Baba escaped from the jaws of death twice: once in June 1993, when there was an attempt on his life in his room by some youth, who were later shot dead; and the second time in 2003, when he fell down from the stairs and suffered a fracture to his hip.
“Now that the doctors have declared him critically ill, it will be a real miracle if he survives this time and returns to normal activity again,” his devotee say.
Hope Baba will not fail their belief.
