A heavy bundle


A heavy bundle I picked up on my way home
For all my pain and anxiety it was to blame

So heavy was it that disoriented I felt
Lost the way and then did I fret

I sometimes kept the bundle down in pain
Futile exercise it was with no gain

I came across a fakir sitting near a neem tree
He asked me to keep the bundle down and feel free

I sat down in the tree's shade by his feet
I told him everything around me was like the Labyrinth of Crete

He said "Sit still and be quiet"
"I will do the rest"

Suddenly I was at home, feeling all light
I finally saw daylight after a long night

Gu means darkness it is known
Ru means destroyer of great renown

The guru is the destroyer of the darkness of ignorance
Only resorting to his lotus feet should be given prominence

Submit speech,hearing, actions and ego to him
Bask in his immeasurable grace at his blissful realm

When the cold winds of life in the form of problems make you shiver
Wrap yourselves in the shawl called his devotion, oh brother

Warm yourself at the fire of his grace
Using the scarf of his immeasurable love cover your face

Chant his name, lest from cold your mouth chatter
To be warm, all these things do matter

May the Sadguru keep us all from the cold in the form of problems in life warm
May he keep us away from harm

--Dedicated to the lotus feet of the Sadguru

Sadguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai

Bow to Shree Sai! Peace be to all!

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...
