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!

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...
