You called to the child Rama, the playful To get lifegiving miraculous Udi in Sackful To the doctor devotee of Rama You appeared as Mariyada Purushottama To Mhalsapati and Shama near Masjidmai You appeared as none other than Maruthi Appeared did you,to the devout Megha As his beloved diety Lord Hara Mule Shashtri came with a lot of orthodoxy Saw in you his beloved guru Gholap Swamy As the devotee came to you So did you appear to his view I wish to in my eye, you behold Maya however does my vision cloud Your name sounds the sweetest Your feet are the dearest I come to your durbar with the Jholi To see you is what I seek truly Please hear the call of your child Even if I am wicked and wild In the dream did you appear as Vitthala Showed me that Shirdi is Pandharpura Please remind me of this again there is no loss in this but only gain There is in this world much dissonance It is quietened by only your presence Let me run in this great worldly race Under the shade of your grace

In what language should I call you Of what color is the morning dew What can I from you hide In everyone's heart do you reside My eye does long to you behold They are not big enough to your image hold For where in the universe are you not This is what the saints have taught Envoloped am I by darkness What I seek is eternal happiness Enlighten me by showing yourself I long to behold you myself Help "me" the house leave So only your presence it can have On a starry sky in the grassy plain I reach everywhere to escape this pain Let the wolves howl and the birds chirp I ignore them being the tiger with claws sharp Huge waves in the ocean come crashing Your prescense alone prevents my boat from rocking Wearing of peackock feathers on your head the crown With the complexion of the sky and the universe you own A bewitching smile on your face you wear The kaustuba jewel do my eyes glare All bovines do not their grass munch Sweet tunes from flute makes them forget lunch Overcast

A beloved in his love himself forgets To him He is not there only his beloved exists The ruby when held onto the sun bright loses itself by streaming his light The seven seas take up the color blue From the sky struck to them like glue A firefly that goes into the flame loses itself with no one to blame A piece of iron gets mould when touched with philosophers stone into gold The river flows into the sea To merge itself into it and be Likewise think they about you Exist not they but only you Journey of several rivers to become pure You are the one ocean who is the lure When I forget myself I remember you There is no me but only you

Om Jai Sai Ram! It is only by the grace of Sadguru that one get's to hear his leelas and to sing them. Lord Dattatreya's ways are unfathomable, and what can a dullard like me understand or talk about them. However when I submit the ego before the lotus feet of Sriguru , he himself takes up the task of relating his life story, for I am merely an instrument in his hands.Victory be unto the Sadguru . Let me now relate a leela of Shree Swami Samartha Maharaj of Akkalkot , the glorious incarnation of Lord Dattatreya . He the purest of the pure, I beseech him to help me sing his glory. That Rameshwaram is holy, is accepted beyond doubt. It was here that Lord Rama established the twelfth Jyotirlinga ( Linga of Light) for worshipping Lord Shiva. The foremost of the Ragu's made this a holy place of Pilgrimage as the sands of this place kissed his lotus feet. The worshipper at Rameshwaram used to extort money from piligrims for them to take bath in the holy Koti Khoo

Away from home was I travelling With destination unknown was I drifting I was walking on pastures green Suddenly there were clouds looking dark and mean I was caught in a terrible thunderstorm From this it was not possible to take shelter from I walked on and on in the storm terrible Confused, hurt and angry and in deep trouble I called out to him angrily Why should this happen to me only? As if in answer I saw in the distance Shelter in the form of a fakir's residence I entered with stress, anger and fear They fled as to the fakir, I went near I felt the love and ecstasy of meeting my Mother The warmth that the cub feels with the tiger A compassionate face glanced at me My Guru! It was none other than he His look was like a balm to my aching heart Tears of joy, from my eyes were about to start Just as child forgets the pain form a wound When it finds the comforting presence of the mother around I felt comforted with my guru around The center of peace and happiness I had found As

When the arrow of Bhishma grazed your head An angry form of your's he faced Full of happiness and bliss was Bhishma When you raised in your hand the Sudarshana Chakra "So beautiful do you look when you are angry oh Mukunda " "What happened to your oath not raise weapons in Kurukshetra ?"
