Sai-The Ocean
0 BABA,
You are the sun that drive away darkness from my heart
You are the moon that cool the hatred in my heart
You are the rain that grow "Bhakthi" in my mind
You are the ocean that arouse love in my heart.
You are the king who keeps us comfortable in your kingdom
You are the guru who shows us the path of wisdom
You are the father who shapes our life with care
You are the mother, who is too great to compare.

Spiritual living is the best living
Seek the Underlying spirit in you
Prepare your mind to harness it
Individual attention is necessary at every turn
Resort to the blessed (wise ones) for guidance
Improve your habits towards good
Truth in spiritual life is a must
Unify your thoughts on one aim
Adjust and adopt to the environments
Live a life of purity and celibacy.
Learn to be humane and humble
Indweller is your own conscience (the Self)
Visualise things in all its perfectness
Institute the knowledge of Atma Vichara
Never forget to adopt the dictum of your Guru
Gain or Loss. Victory or defeat does not concern you.
In the heart lives your true spirit
Serve, sacrifice, adore and concentrate
Things inside you and around are part and parcel of the same
Hearken to the voice of your Antaratma (Inner Self)
Eschew ego that creates the difference.
Banish Anger, desire and greed Entertain always noble thoughts Serve and Sacrifice to the needy Trust your Guru-God wholeheartedly.
Live true to the spirit of your Master
Introspect well on all your daily acts
Veiled ignorance will be dispelled
In revealing truth in all its glory
Never depart from tha onward path
Glory to those, that seek true spirit is inexplicable.

Sai Baba, Kalki Avatar
I bow to Shirdi Sai Baba,
The Tenth Incarnation of Mahavishnu
Who is the Kalki Avatar hailing from Shirdi,
Who is without origin and end.
Who is the Guru Dattatreya,
Who is Love personified,
Who is the 'Chakor' of His devotees.
I bow to the Great Guru Sai
Who is the origin of Vedas,
Who is the Mathsya Avatar of yore,
Who protects His 'Druvas'
And 'Prahaladhas' with merciful glance.
I prostrate again to the Great Sai
Who is the Tortoise incarnation of Mahavishnu
And who by His loving glance
infills potency in His devotees.
I bow to my Guru Sai Maharaj
Who is the Vamana and Thirivikrama of sacred Puranas
Who can measure the whole universe with His precious feet
Who can merge all beings in Himself
Who can humble the 'Mahaballs'
Add bless them later with immortality.
My Prostrations are to you, the highest Supreme bliss
Who took the Varaha Avatara
To save the earth from deluge
I repeatedly surrender myself to Sai, the sole refuge
Who is the Narasimha Avatar of Vishnu
Who can come from any nook and corner
To save the 'prahladas'
From the clutches of the arrogant 'Hiranyakshas'
I bow to you Baba, the unfathomable Brahman
Who is the 'Parasurama Avatara of Vishnu,
Who can vanquish! the pride of kings
To uplift them to the divine plane again.
My Prostrations are again to this great Avatar of kaliyuga Who is none other than the Rama of Ayodhya Who is the brother of Bakta Anjaneya and Guha Who fights with monstrous Ravana, And blesses the Satvik Vibishanas.
I bow to Sai Maharaj, the yogi Raja,
The king of Dwaraka,
Who at the Kurukshetra of Shirdi
Poured His wisdom of 'Gita'
To 'Arjunas' of Narasimha, Mahalsapati Chandrokar and others
To save the virtuous 'Pandavas'
And kill the injustice of Kauravas.
1 bow to SaiNath, the great Buddha
Who spread the message of non-violence and universal peace
To the combating treacherous 'Birnbisara',
Who blesses the 'Asokas' with eternal happiness.
My total surrender to Sai, the kind Guru
Who is Janardhana, the protector of the Universe
Who came to this world, as a human being.
With divine power to bless His children.
Who is the charioteer of our minds and
Who brings Victory to us.
Bless us all Lord Sai Nath,
Dispel the darkness of ignorance,
I meditate on you Guru Sai Nath
Let me shine in your glory
Let me live a peaceful life
in your shelter of peace.
Let me quench my thirst in the summers of worldly life.
With your gospel of Ambrosia
Let me fill my stomach
With the sweet of solid truth served to mo
Let me be at your Lotus feat always, always.

Let one, always go in for service to humanity or to lower creatures for the sake of Baba i.e.viewing Baba as existing in each individual person or creature that he sees. Baba himself will direct the further steps of the earnest enquirer. Ways and means for further contact and further growth will be disclosed by Baba himself in innumerable ways to each ardent devotee.

Sai Ram Sahay Sai Cult
1. Sai cult is the easiest.
Love and devotion is the best
He says 'Chant, Chant'
My name day and night
This is my philosophical gist.
And as well as the crest
Listen and keep this in your chest.
2. 0: Baba I want Thee only Thee,
You are shade and fruit yielding tree.
And had kindly made me
Stand under you as refuge
But 1 am unable to win the wordly race
And find eternal peace
Please shower your benign grace
Without it I find no solace
So I pray with my meek voice
Let my legs stand at your service.
And hands do you obeisance
Let my eyes see your divine face.
And my tongue offer you, hearty praise.
3. O. Baba, I am nothing I know nothing You are everything Make me anything
4. Whatever you do, oh.! Sai
Who am I to question Dwarakamai?
Does a statue
Ever quarrel with a sculptor Baba ?

The Glory of Sai Ram
I love to sing the glory of Sai Ram
And His holy mission to express
To inspire the devotees over the globe
The divine lotus feet to embrace.
To the Lord I owe my tenor voice
That rings in crescendo to impress;
I pour the nectar from my aspirant soul
On the anguished millions to give Solace.
I remember a dawn when a subtle current
Entered my heart by My Master's grace
The spiritual waves of boundles bliss
Broke the chains of time and space.
I conquered the fears of mortal frame
And knowing the significance of mundane race
Scanned in the unique celestial game
The actor and spectator with common face
The woofs and warps of names and forms
Constitute the network of various plays
With birth and death with pleasure and pain
With light and darkness of nights and days.
The beautiful bubbles in the vast horizon
Shine as rainbow in solar rays
At Lord Almighty creator's command
The nebulae vibrate in milky ways.
The season of flowers comes on earth
Bringing the fragrance of Omnipresence
The bees and butterflies drink the honey
And peacocks dance near botany bays.
I yearn for my dearest eternal Guide
My Beloved who does always bless
That I may merge in His entity
To attain the cosmic consciousness.

Sai's Grace, Jubilees of Silver and Gold
Oh, who is this Sai ? What is His Sudha ?
Where is His gold ? Who are His devotees ?
What pulls all His devotees together ?
1. The Lord Krishna in His Song celestial, sweet, sung
before His mighty warrior Arjuna, His disciple
urging him to do his duty forthwith, without delay any,
And not caring for either its outcome or fruits thereof
Hath declared for us great truths lasting for ever.
Till this Earth, Sun, Moon and Stars lovely last,
That pleased He was to descend here in our Land Divine
To uphold Dharma by sinking down its foes
And thus secure stability, stature and strength
For all the life spread and its court holding everywhere !
Hath he not fulfilled His that promise grand then made
By and through our Sai in our midst-ah, how blessed we are!
To have His this Avatar, so recent, revered and so green !
2. Sudha, the nectar, ever flows towards us all
From the North, South, East and West and from everywhere
From Sai, our Father, Mother, Teacher, Brother, Friend,
Guide, Wealth, Food, Drink, Birth, Life and Death too !
They who doubt this Truth, solemn, wide and deep and bulky
Let he or she go over to His presence, here, in this land
where stately sits He-as no king or Emperor can dare to do so
And blesses us all by both His smile serene and eyes Kind I
only they whose sins to be washed for ever
would go over here to get drenched in His grace
And have their very bones to be holy, sweet and pure !
A devotee, is devoted, dear and darling as well,
To our Sai, the greatest and the most merciful
He truly tastes the Sudha, the nectar divine
Not through the tongue but through the self,
And without slip any between the Lip small and cup ever full
3. He shining in colour of swarna and of silvery charm
Hath been doubtless the most precious wealth
Hath lent His complexion and charm to that knightly number fifty,
And so arrive we at Sai Sudha's Jubilee of Gold, Now !
4. Ah, Sai lives and lives in His facets all, rare
Like a diamond dazzling of size huge and cut too well—
All these years fifty, in Articles, poems and essays all
Gushing forth from the Hearts humble of His devotees,
From every nook and corner of this our earth wide itself '.
What a treat divine, holy and lofty from "Sai Sudha" we have !
5. Let our Baba, the mighty writer among writers, poet among poets ;
And artist among the artists, guide us all, humble folk—
To write and write more of His grace utmost
And so spread His blessings among us all, everywhere !
Let us all be so many stars twinkling here and there Around our Sai,
the Moon Showering His Silvery light on us for ever.
KASHYAP
Jai Sai Ram
PRAYER
Prayers are the flowers
Meditation is the fargrance
Service is the thread
To tie them up round
With devotion as a garland
Oh, it is simply grand
When offered at the golden feet Of Sat Gure Sri Sainath
