health and with a benign smile on her face, says, “I want to become a doctor!”

Isn’t it stirring? “It’s a Magnificent Palace-Cum-Temple” – Sri A B Vajpayee,

Former Prime Minister of India. There is no dearth of such heart-touching

stories in this ‘heaven of health’ for the poor…so many such Nagaratnas, Rajus

and Afsaths have come in hundreds and thousands since this Hospital came into

existence on the 19th of Jan, 2001. All these beautiful people have left behind

tales for all of humanity, each one more soul-stirring than the other. On the

inauguration day, five years ago, the then Prime Minister of India, Sri A B

Vajpayee had said, “It is no Hospital or hi-tech Hospital, it is a magnificent

palace-cum-temple.” Yes, it is a palace…a ‘palace for the poor’ and a ‘temple

of healing’ for all. What makes this Hospital so special? For this, let’s go

down the memory lane of time to the very first

day of this Hospital and listen to the words of Bhagawan Baba, the divine

initiator and the sole inspiration of this wonderful edifice.

Swami with Sri A B Vajpayee to His right during the

Inauguration Ceremony of SSSIHMS, WF Bhagawan Baba had said on the day of the

Inauguration, “This (Hospital) is not operating for financial gains.

All medicines here will be free. Doctors should understand that it is not

medicines alone but God’s grace that cures patients. While this building is

imposing from the outside, it will also confer inner bliss. This Hospital has a

divine quality that will draw the whole world to it. We should see to it that

there are no heart diseases (at least) in Karnataka. Doctors should win over

the minds

of the patients by talking to them with compassion and concern, the diseases are

half cured when the doctors win over the minds of patients by talking to them

with love and consideration. The doctors should administer the injection of

courage and encouragement. Compassion is more important than money. Some

doctors wonder how we can treat patients free of charge. You can work wonders

with purity of heart. Any work which is started with purity of heart is bound

to succeed. Money flows if your work is suffused with love and Sacrifice.

People will volunteer with adequate funds to support any noble endeavour.” The

Divine Declaration Unfolding… And true to Baba’s words, since its inception the

Hospital has operated on more than 11,000 patients with various heart, brain and

spinal disorders, all absolutely

free! In the words of Michael Nobel, Chairman of the Board of the Nobel Family

Society and great grandnephew of Alfred Nobel, who visited the Hospital on 19th

Jan, 2002, “A truly remarkable achievement! A one of a kind combination of

hi-tech, state of the art medical facility offering the top-of-the-line

treatment for free to the masses of the people who would never normally have

such a chance in life. An awe-inspiring achievement! Thank you (Baba) on behalf

of mankind.” - Michael Nobel (Sharing With Sai Love) Ram.Chugani) Ram
