The condition of Sathya Sai Baba deteriorated further yesterday with doctors saying that the functioning of his organs was erratic and he was very critical.

The godman was very critical as his heart became quite weak due to intermittent episodes of low

blood pressure, said Dr A N Safaya, director of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Sciences, where he

is undergoing treatment since March 28.

"The parameters of the functioning of the various organs are also erratic and every attempt is being made to keep them in the normal limits by the administration of appropriate drugs," a health bulletin issued here in the evening said.

One successful cycle of low haemodialysis was conducted to assist the kidney functioning.

Doctors are continuing vigorous efforts to make the vital organs recommence their function, the bulletin said.

Meanwhile, in view of Sai Baba's deteriorating health, Andhra Pradesh Police have been deployed additional forces here to maintain law and order.

The 86-year-old spiritual guru was hospitalised on March 28 following problems related to heart and respiration.

Police sources said tight security arrangements have been made at the airport in Puttaparthi apart from Prasanthi Nilayam, the residence of Baba, and Satya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences.
