Nine verities of food


There were nine verities of food served to me
I ate them all and each bite got rid of me

Finally difference there was none
The one who served, me and the food served became one

There was no more hunger or thirst
I did not require any food or rest

Where were my friends, for they are me
There were no strangers, for they are he

Where the five elements were
They seem now to be everywhere

Where is the fire, and where be the air
Who said they are distinct is in his outlook unfair

Who said there is earth and who said there is water
Not anymore distinct do they appear

Where was the Sky and where were the stars
Where was the earth and where is Mars

They all seem now to be centered
If they are different defective sight to be feared


Where is everywhere and where is nowhere
All are here, do not look elsewhere

-- Dedicated to the Lotus feet of the Sadguru

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...
