Guruvaar Prarthna
Our Beloved Sadguru Sainath, please accept our humble prayers on this Holy Day of Guruvaar. Baba, grant us such devotion for You, that we meditate on You, with every fibre of our being, let us annihilate our 'self' and be our sacrificial offering at Your Lotus Feet. With true faith in our hearts we have this single prayer 'In Your mercy, O Sai, keep us today and every day'. On this holy day we continue our prayers by reading your divine guidance in Shri Sai Samartha Satcharitra.
Many times, many people have heard lizards chirruping, but does anyone ask the meaning of their chirruping or about their language?
In short, these are the dramas in the world. The reins are not perceivable and are beyond understanding. If anyone can understand, all are amazed.
On the contrary, where a lizard is heard chirruping, it is supposed to be ominous. If the word "Krishna, Krishna " is uttered, the bad effect is warded off. So people say.
Whatever the significance of this sound, it does not matter. To make a devotee believe firmly in him, Baba employed this supreme means.
Whoever reads this chapter with respect, or recites it a fixed number of times regularly, will find his difficulties warded off by Gururaya. Bear it well in your mind.
Whoever puts his head truly at his feet with single minded devotion, he is the only saviour, the protector for him, the only one who gives assurance, the doer, the warder of all difficulties.
Do not have doubts about this. Sainath is really so. I am telling you the essence of my experience for the sake of the good of the devotees.
" I am omnipresent. There is nothing else besides Me in this world. I exist not only in this world but in all the three".
Wherever there is such unparalleled belief, there is no scope for fear. When the being realises that the Pure Consciousness fills all, that person is devoid of ego and pride.
I bow down to Sree Ganesh
I bow down to Sree Saraswati
I bow down to the Guru
I bow down to the Family Deity
I bow down to Sree Sita-Ramachandra
I bow down to Sree Sadguru Sainath.
