When heaven meets earth in a warm embrace


Without prudence I took the plunge
The moment I beheld your beautiful form

Without thinking I ran straight
Into the burning bush of love

Without fear I jumped off the cliff
Taking the leap of faith towards you

However, the moment your presence is away from me
I feel the pangs of separation every moment

What madness is this that has besieged me
I feel breathless without your divine presence

I look towards the sun, the moon and the stars
For a sign from my beloved expressing desire to meet me

I wait for that moment at dusk when heaven
meets the earth in a warm embrace

Did not Rumi feel the pain of a Knife plunging through his heart
When Shams of Tabrez walked away from Konya unannounced

I run around not knowing where to find you and
In the midst of the forest I meet the Fakir

Impeccable features of a God in the guise of a mendicant
Deep eyes which are the very two eyes of Motherly affection

The fakir asked me to stop running around and look within
"Why seek beauty outside when it is closer to you than you think"

After long trails and tribulations like that of Rumi
Buring in the hearth of passion and longing

The Fakir finally showed me the cool spring waters of eternal love
Unhesitatingly I took a dip  to rid myself of this madness

Finally realized the truth that happiness like beauty is not out there somewhere
But is hidden deep within the recess of my own aching heart

Rid of all prejudices and opinions I looked at my reflection in the mirror
To find the deep pity merciful eyes of the Fakir staring back at me!

- Om Sai Ram.
- Dedicated to Samartha Sadguru Sainath Maharaj.

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...
