Dattavatar Shree Sadguru Swami Samarth Maharaj

I first and foremost pray to Lord Ganesha, whom thou art
For it is by thy grace that cuts through the dense forest of obstacles

I then salute the Mother of all learning Mother Saraswathi,
This too you are, for is it not you who are the source of all knowledge

I then salute her consort Lord Brahma, who is one with you
For this immense and boundless universe is your creation

I then salute Lord Vishnu the preserver of the Universe,
For are you not the same, your peace and mercy deeper than the Ocean

I then pray to Umapathi, Girija Shankar Mahadeva
When in a wrathful rage you are none other than that terrifying Rudra

I then pray to Sadguru Sai, incarnation of Lord Dattatreya
Darling son of Sage Atri and Mother Anasuya

You showered your grace on the destroyer of Sahasrabahu
To the mighty axe weilding , Parashurama

Instilled devotion in Prahalada
Appeared before him as Narasimha (Man-Lion)

Appeared in Kurvapur as Shreepada Vallabha
Blessed were the people near river Krishna

Then did you appear as Shree Narasimha Saraswathi
Ganagapur,Narsobachawadi and Lad Karanja were made holy

You appeared on earth as the nine Nathas
"Alakh Niranjan" you told one and all

In Shree Shailam the woodcutter found you in an anthill
Emerged from it did you for the benefit of mankind

When the blind bard Suradasa called out to you
You appeared before him at Brij as the slayer of Mura

Oh Long armed one, like the foremost of the Raghus
You are Lord Rama, the Maryada Purushotthama (The ideal man)

When Pundalika was nursing his aged parents
You blessed him with a vision and stayed at Pandhari

When the bells of Pandhari struck, you miraculously
Called Choka Mela to your feet and not the  arrogant priest

You accepted the simple devotion of a Mahar
To the priestly knowledge and arragonce of a Brahmin

You showed that there is no Brahmin or Mahar
All are but your children this you proved

After blessing people near Pandhari and Mangalveda
You came down to Akkalkot and made it holy

The great Vatavuksha (Banyan tree) you made your abode
Blessed were the people of Akkalkot who beheld you

To the erring children you were a wrathful father
And to the repentent you showed your mercy like a mother

After leaving your mortal coil  in Akkalkot
You came down as a fakir to the holy village of Shirdi

You were also the great Manik Prabhu
Blessed and united Hindus and Yavanas near Hamunabad

Thou art verily the ancient lord of Pandhari
Oh Vitoba, bless this child of yours

Oh divine Sadguru, I prostrate before you
Always cast your merciful glance towards your children

--Dedicated to the Lotus feet of the Sadguru

--Shree Satchidananda Sadguru Swami Samartha Maharaj Ki Jai!

--Shree Satchidananda Sadguru Sainath Maharaj ki Jai!

--Bow to Shree Sai! Peace be to all!
