Shree Krishna Janmashtami

He who is boundless and timeless
Was bound in the womb of an imprisoned princess

He by whose radiance shine the sun, moon and the Stars
Was born on Earth when the Sun had set

His dusky face radiated light all around
All animals bathed in his immeasurable love

Unable to contain their emotions
The clouds burst forth into Thunderous showers

The Yamuna sensing the Lord's presence
Overflowed towards Mathura in  spate


He who wills creation, appeared On the 8th day
When the star Rohini was ascendent

The birds seem to sing in joyous abandon
The trees seemed to dance to their tunes

All animals felt a benign energy pulsating through their bodies
They came towards the Prison to catch a glimpse of their creator

The noble father longed to hold his son and caress him
Off fell the chains which from doing so had prevented him!

The alert guards slept as though in a trance
Indeed what is impossible for him who makes the cosmos dance!

The lord who pervades everything was wrapped in a blanket
And was taken in a basket atop Vasudeva's head

The Yamuna in spate wanted to touch the Lord's feet
Observing Vasudeva's discomfiture the Lord touched Yamuna with his feet

Satiated, She who quenches everyone's thirst parted ways
And Vasudeva prepared to go to the house of Nanda

Brija still lay far away and the rain poured in real earnest
The king of Serpents came to shield the lord and make him comfortable

He who is the shelter for all creation was sheltered by the giant snake
Brija lay on the other side, with eager anticipation to welcome the Lord

Swami Samarth Tarak Mantra

Om Shree Ganeshaya Namaha! Shree Saraswatyai Namaha! Shree Kuladevatyai Namaha! Om Shree Sainaathaya Namaha! Om Shree Swami Samarthaaya Namaha! Verily we must have firm faith in the lotus feet of the Sadguru. For why else are we his devotees. We must surrender completely to him and think always that he knows best. His powers are immesurable and he is the lord and indweller of one and all. He is the Parabrahma of the Vedas and the Allah of the Koran. While describing him, the Vedas merely said "Neti Neti" (Not this, Not this). What then is the way for me? Is it not haughty of me to think I can describe his glory? I cannot, and all I can ever do is submit my ego before his lotus feet. By submitting my speech,hearing and all senses to him. When this is done, he alone will get the work done through the devotee who earnestly wishes to sing his glory. I pray to Sadguru Sainath to help me, nay to use me as an instrument and describe his boundless glory. Sometimes we are overwhelme

||Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha||    ||Om Shree Saraswatyay Namaha||        ||Om Shree Gurave Namaha||    ||Om Shree Kuladevatyay Namaha||    Om Jai Sairam! Blessed are those who resort to the feet of the Sadguru.The Sadguru protects us like a mother. His attention is ever on his children and he never allows them to be hurt ever! Today another incident proved that the Sadguru is ever looking after his devotees. Today I was in great agitation at my own helplessness and I was afraid that my image was tarnished for no fault of mine. But then Sainath came to my rescue and calmed the raging storm within me. I woke up today after a small nap. I was awakened by a phone call. A dear relative had called over the phone and the person seemed to be upset that I was fit enough to visit the Sai temple during Guru Pournima and yet I was not in a position to visit them. You see I had visited the temple on Guru Pournima and I had put the pictures on Facebook, hoping that those devotees who could not visit

My father has the darshan of Swami Maharaj in his dream

Om Jai Sai Ram! Om Shree Swami Samarh ! One must have firm faith in his sadguru . By fully surrendering one's mind,body and actions to the Sadguru ,one can sail smoothly in the ocean called samsara (life), which is full of tornadoes and hurricanes and reach the destination, viz union with brahman . As long as we have the "I" or ego, it is indeed hard for us to cross this ocean of Samsara . I therefore submit my ego to my Sadguru , and pray to his lotus feet, to help me sing his glory, which has no beginning and no end. All the scriptures of all the religions world over are not sufficient to describe his splendor and glory and fully describe him. I bow humbly to the lotus feet of Shree Gurudeva Dattatreya , and pray to him, who has looked after my like a mother to guide me. He alone is mother,father,friend, brother. He is all in all. He has infinite compassion and love for his devotees like a mother caring for her child ( Bhaktha vatsalya ). Oh Sadguru , please h
