According to the bulletin issued by Dr AN Safaya, the director of Sri Satya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Puttaparthi, the end of Bhagwan came at 7.40 am on Sunday.
However, as per the hospital records, Baba breathed his last exactly at 7.39 am. And according to local astrologers, the death took place on “Uttarashada Nakshtram, Chaitra Bahula Sapthami, Uttarayanam,” which is the most auspicious muhurtam for the death; which would take Baba directly to the heaven.
Interestingly, Baba was born exactly on the same “nakshtram” 85 years ago. “It is a rare phenomenon that people take birth and breathe last on the same nakshtram. Such people would attain the highest place in the heaven,” an astrologer said.
