Sanjeevani Mumbai Hospital Begins Surgeries
Khargar, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra
|
|
“Tomorrow (May 6, 2019), I am going to Mumbai to commence surgeries at our hospital there. Hundreds of children are already screened and are waiting for the surgery. Every year, 2.5 lacs children are being born with congenital heart diseases in India alone. But only 25,000 children are being treated for this ailment in the country. The Divine Mother and Child Health Programme in Mumbai has been started so that children are born healthy and pregnant mothers are provided with the required nutrition. A lot of such service initiatives are being carried out across the world.” Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Discourse at Muddenahalli on May 5, 2019.
|
|
The FIRST PEDIATRIC CARDIAC PROCEDURE was successfully performed at Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Centre for Child Heart Care and Training in Cardiac Skills, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai by the Divine Grace and Mercy of Bhagawan on May 6, 2019! Eight month old baby, Ananya was the first patient to undergo the surgery and she is already up and recovering!
|
|
It was a day suffused with Love for all those who are part of the Sai Sanjeevani Story! Bhagawan, along with bestowing baby Ananya a new lease of life, He has also assured her mother that the girl’s complete education will be taken care of and when she grows up, she will become a doctor and serve in the very Sai Sanjeevani Hospital!
|
|
Swami said, “From a new born baby like Ananya to a centenarian like Indulal Shah, everybody is part of this Mission”. Swami had promised that He would build a free hospital in Mumbai as per Indulal Shah’s prayers. He kept His word to make His favourite devotee happy with the commencement of surgery!

INDULAL SHAH
Grandsire of Sathya Sai Seva Organization
|
|
Sri. Indulal Shah Ji merged at the lotus feet of His Master, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba on the morning of May 18, 2019; a very auspicious Buddha Poornima Day. He lived a full life of hundred years in His service and enjoyed the infinite Grace and Love of Swami till the last moment!
|
 |
|
“Sri Indulal Shah was with Me when the rest of the world was not. He stood by My side and did what I said when everyone else were wondering whether it should be done or not. It is his faith that stands as testimony today to tell us that nothing is impossible for a man with Faith, for he attains the grace of God and everything is achievable thereafter.”- Divine Discourse, Inauguration of Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani International Centre for Child Heart Care and Research, Palwal, Haryana, Nov. 27, 2016
Swami wanted the soul of revered Indulal Ji to be in the body till he opened the operation theatre in Sri

|
|
Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital in Mumbai because it was Indulal Ji's desire to build a hospital in Mumbai and Swami had postponed the plan back then. He lived with God till his last breath, serving Him! Swami considered Indulal Ji and his wife, Sarla Ma as His greatest devotees!
"The only thing Swami and Indulal Ji asked each other was ‘What can I do for you?’ This is what the whole relationship between them was all about!" - Sri Madhusudan at 'Tattva Sameeksha', Sathya Sai Grama, Muddenahalli, May 27, 2019
