The godman's body is still at the Sathya Sai Super-speciality Hospital, about 5 km from the town. Sathya Sai Central Trust is making arrangements to shift it to Prashanti Nilayam, his ashram, where it will be kept for two days to enable his devotees to have 'last darshan'.
According to the statement released by Sathya Sai Central Trust, the body will be kept at Sai Kulwant Hall at Prashanti Nilayam at 6 p.m. Sunday. The body will lie there Monday and Tuesday.
'Bhagwan's body will lie in state at Sai Kulwant Hall for two days -- Monday and Tuesday. Arrangements will be made for darshan after 6 p.m. today at Sai Kulwant Hall,' said a statement issued by A.N. Safaya, director of the hospital.
'We appeal to all not to rush to the hospital but to remain calm and have darshan in an orderly manner,' added the statement.
It was at Prashanti Nilayam that Baba has been giving darshan and blessing his devotees for over four decades.
