Spiritual leader Sathya Sai Baba's health was stable, according to a medical bulletin from Sri Satya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences Director A N Safaya. The 85-year-old Godman's vital parameters were near normal, including the functional indices of vital systems like heart rate, blood pressure, blood bio-chemistry and blood gas saturation levels, it said.

However, he was still on ventilator to assist his lungs and to allow the secretions to be sucked out, the Director said. The dialysis has been further reduced and his level of consciousness continued to show improvement, Dr Safaya said.
