||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...

The bitter waters of worldly life Became sweet with the sugar called Ganj-e-Shakar The bitter taste of worldly talk Became sweet by chanting your name The toxic environment of the materialistic world Turned into sweet scent of God's grace near Baba Farid The hatred existing in the materialistic world Metamorphoses into sweet love near Baba Farid In the materialistic world there was much pride At your majestic durbar everyone bowed and became humble The essence of the materialistic world is illusion Your sweet essence is for one and all emancipation The world is full of bigots who do not remember Ali You remember in every breath and are the supreme Wali The materialistic world remembers  only the sinful Guru Arjan Dev the embodiment of love remembered your form beautiful The materialistic world is full of trouble and pain In this I turn to you for the balm of blissful rain

||Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha|| ||Om Shree Saraswatyay Namaha|| ||Om Shree Gurubhyo Namaha|| My humble obeisance to Lord Ganesha! The primordial lord of this manifold universe and the in-dweller of all, I place my ego at your lotus feet and beseech you to destroy the forest of obstacles that stand between me and singing of your glory! I then bow to Mother Saraswathi from whose womb the 4 vedas originated. Without her grace how can one sing the glory of the saints, let alone even think about it! I then bow to Lord Rama and Mother Sita on the auspicious day of Shree Rama Navami. A constant utterance of your name was prescribed by Girijapathi (Consort of Parvathi) as a panacea to all problems. I then bow before Shree Siddha Ruda Swamy whose Jayanthi also falls on this auspicious day! A great mystic and Jeevan Muktha (Liberated soul), differences of caste, creed and religion had fled from his realm and instead there was pure Advaita(Oneness). Before him I humbly prostrate and request him to...

Listen oh, Listen to the glory of Ganj-e-Shakar His sayings and stories are sweeter than Sugar The god Almighty was his one and only beloved Sweet words in praise of Allah he spoke aloud His mother coaxed him to pray with sugar Then the beloved made sure sugar was always near He burnt his ego under arduous spiritual exercises He did away with the wealth and mortal pleasures He served his Murshid Hazrat Khwaja Kutubuddin Bakhtyar Kaki Finally was blessed by the murshid and Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chisty The two saints bestowed their blessings on him He recieved the Kingship of God's realm God dwelth everywhere says Baba Farid Do not any object of creation disregard The divine Guru Arjan heard your sayings Made them a part of the Guru Granth Sahib's hymns Sharath, the child of Sai Prays The blissful sayings of Baba Farid in my heart always stays

The atheists declared there is no God! Where does he exist give me proof they said! Their argument was plausible it seemed Until on your lotus feet I lay my head The different religions seemed to contradict each other Men belonging to them did not seem to like one another It all seemed confusing to this mind of mine Until you came and declared to me that "God is one!" The scientists told me one fascinating theory after another About the boundless cosmos and the minuscule atom and it's interior And yet none of them satisfactorily explains Your simplest of expressions and actions The yogis who study the nature of the spirit Told me of inter dimensional and space travel without limit They told me of the fantastic powers of the mind Of astral projections and different mysteries to unwind And these pleasures seemed the greatest one can experience Until I saw your blissful face and your wonderful visions and went into a trance Your remembrance alone ...

An ambassador came to the court Of the mightiest king on earth To make peace was his mission To save a beautiful kingdom from demolition The Lord of Lanka however would not yield Added insult to injury by not giving him a seat Remembering Lord Rama's might Angada roared Try see if any of you can displace my foot Should any of your warriors be successful Then on behalf of my Lord Rama I promise We shall leave Lanka without shooting a single arrow If you can move my foot there shall be no fight tomorrow So much was his faith in the name of Lord Rama "If you can but move my foot you wretch" said Angad Then forgoing Sita, my Lord Rama will turn back And leave without a fight this I promise Then taking the mighty name of Lord Rama He planted his foot firmly in the ground The demon warriors of the court were pleased An easy challenge and our victory in this war is confirmed The demon warrior Shardula moved with confidence Towards the pillar ...

Om Jai Sai Ram! I bow before that primordial force from which all originated and into which all dissolves. Ganapati is one of your several names. Obstacles are singed by your very gaze. I beseech you to help me sing your glory. I then bow before Mother Saraswathi with her pure vermillon mark holding the Brahma Veena and riding the Peacock. The four vedas originated from her womb. I beseech her to give strength to my utterances. I then bow before the family dieties Mother Parvathi and Lord Shiva in pristine Kailasa. I seek their blessings in this venture to sing the glory of the saints. I then bow before Shree Sita Ramachandra, who is perfect amongst the most perfect, purest of pure. His name ever on the lips of Hara. I then bow before the lotus feet of Samartha Sadguru Sainath and ask him to guide me in this life which is veritably an ocean of challenges and desires which keep rocking the boat which we use to travel. Today I had a strange experience. I was doing something and felt t...
