Raipur. A special screening of the documentary film 'DOCTOR AMMA', based on the inspiring life and selfless medical service of Dr. C. Rajeswari, was held at Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital, Nava Raipur.
Dr. C. Rajeswari was the mother of Sri C. Sreenivas and the inspiration behind Sri Sathya Sai Health and Education Service Movement.

She also served in the USA, UK, and Ghana.
Responding to Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba's call, she joined the Whitefield Hospital, Bengaluru in 1972 and made free medical service her life mission. In his discourse on June 10, 2001, Sathya Sai Baba noted that she devoted her entire earnings to the hospital. She passed away on September 8, 1990, while serving at the hospital.
