A  tense Puttaparthy heaved a sign of relief 10 days after Satya Sai Baba  was admitted at a super speciality hospital. Doctors attending the  world-renowned spiritual leader, now say that though Sai Baba's  condition is critical, he's showing signs of improvement."Satya  Sai Baba has shown slight improvement, he continues to be in a serious  state of health, we believe that ultimately he should have the sankalpa  of coming out of this," said  Satya Sai Institute of Medical Sciences  Director Dr Safaya.Even as people pray for  Sai Baba's recovery, the devotees in Puttaparthy believe that an idol  that they had immersed recently was the reason why Sai Baba is in a  critical condition. A huge procession was undertaken to recover the idol  and place it back in the temple.
"We  believe in Sai Baba. What Puttaparthy is now its all because of Sai  Baba, we are praying for him to get well," said Abdul, a resident of  Puttaparthy Village.
Hopes  of countless people continue to swing between despair and hope.  Devotees continue to pray for the speedy recovery of the 85-year-old  spiritual guru, who helped millions of people by answering their  question.
