(CNN) The Dalai Lama has been hospitalized with a chest infection, but is in a stable condition, his aides said Tuesday.

The 83-year-old Tibetan Buddhist monk had returned to his home of Dharamsala, in the Indian Himalayas, from a meeting with youth leaders in New Delhi when he felt "some discomfort," his private secretary Tenzin Taklha told CNN.

"He was brought to Delhi for check up. The doctors said he had some sort of a chest infection. He is fine and stable. He'll be treated for two more days," the aide said.

Last month marked 60 years since the Dalai Lama fled Tibet for exile in India , after an unsuccessful revolt following the arrival of Chinese troops in Tibet saw thousands flee across the border.

Ever since, the Dalai Lama -- who is revered as a living god by millions of Tibetan Buddhists -- has made India his home. India officially calls him "(our) most esteemed and honored guest."
