Dr. Choudary Voleti was born in India in the early 1940s, in Nendragunta, a small village, twenty miles from the holy town of Tirupathi, abode of Lord Venkateswara. After finishing his basic medical training, he migrated to the U.S.A to pursue his ambition of becoming a cardiac surgeon. With self-effort and divine grace he established himself as a successful cardiac surgeon and achieved the “American dream” of professional recognition, financial stability and material comforts. In spite of being at the pinnacle of his career, Dr. Voleti lacked peace of mind and there remained an inexplicable vacuum in his life. He felt a strong need to search for the real purpose of his existence. He thus embarked on a journey of service to his Motherland. This brought him into the path of the spiritual supremacy of Sri Sathya Sai Baba and the educational and health-care missions of Sai Baba.
Until his retirement from active practice of cardiac surgery in the year 2001, Dr. Voleti made frequent trips with a group of cardiac specialists to provide voluntary service in Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s super speciality hospitals. During these trips, exposure to the limitless love and compassion of Sai Baba and Sai Baba’s selfless service to humanity made him realize the transient nature of human life and that the ultimate aim of life is to achieve salvation through self-sacrificing service.

ONE WHO IS ESTABLISHED IN SELFLESS AND DETACHED ACTION, WHO IS PURE, WHOSE MIND AND SENSES ARE UNDER CONTROL,
AND WHOSE SELF IS IDENTIFIED WITH THE SELF OF ALL - HE IS NEVER BOUND, THOUGH HE BE ENGAGED IN WORK.

Since retirement, Dr.Voleti has travelled the globe sharing his experiences with Sri Sathya Sai Baba and lecturing on spiritual aspects of medicine. He continues to make several visits every year to Sai Baba’s super speciality hospitals providing voluntary service as a consultant cardiac surgeon.



Dr.Voleti’s various philanthropic activities are structured through the Sai Veda Venkatrama Charitable Trust, based in Chennai, India, of which he is the Trust executants.



AFTER SEVERAL BIRTHS, ONE BECOMES WISE AND SURRENDERS TO ME AND ATTAINS ME, REALIZING THAT ALL IS GOD, AND GOD IS ALL. SUCH A SOUL IS RARE TO FIND.
