The Guide!


I lost my most prized posession
It was my greatest obsession

I went to search for it in the forest
I got lost at the earliest

Wandering I came across a neem tree
There sat a guide looking at me

He said he would get me my posession but not for free
In return all he asked was a small fee

Asked he two coins from me
I gladly gave the required fee

He showed me paths nine
Any I can take it would be fine

I tried little by little paths each
The guide was always within my reach

There were fierce tigers,wolves and cheetas causing fear
They however kept away as my guide was always near

After traversing the paths came a pond
There was nothing within it or in and around

"I" jumped into it and it submerged "me"
Only the guide remained, there was now nothing but he

I realized that my most prized posession was he
And that "I" was none other than he

The guru alone is the only reality
All else is a delusion in our mentality

Surrender yourself to the Guru
He will take you to the goal by crossing even Mount Meru

When he is the helmsman of our boat
We will reach the ultimate goal, there is no doubt.

-Dedicated to the lotus feet of the Sadguru

Anantha Koti Brahmanda Nayaka Raja Dhi Raja Yogiraja Parabrahma Shree Satchitananda Sadguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai!

Bow to Shree Sai! Peace be to All!

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...

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...
