Introduction
In late March 2011, Sami was admitted to the super-specialty hospital. This caused a great stir throughout the world for Sai devotees, and the world watched twice daily for press reports from the hospital.
On 24 April at 7:40AM, Swami left His physical body. His body was brought to Sai Kulwant Hall, and He "lay in State" for three days.
Last rites were made on the morning of 27 April, and Bhagawan's body was laid to rest in Sai Kulwant Hall in the presence of a huge assemblage of devotees, also attended by a host of political luminaries.
This part of www.sathyasai.org records the press releases from the Director of the Hospital that were made during this time. Also, to the right, are links to various webpage discussions that went on during the time, as well as two videos.
