Bhakti Mala

Aum Sairam

On this Guru Poornima day, humbly I offer my obeisance at thy Lotus Feet. Bless me with the choicest gifts from Your Treasure Box.

Shri Hemadpant came to Shirdi on account of the stored merit of his Punyakarmas. You were standing in the corner of Sathe's wada. He ran, prostrated before you. Joy knew no bounds. He found more than what he had heard from Nana Chandorkar. All his senses were pacified and he forgot thirst and hunger. As he touched Your sacred feet, he began a new lease on life. You held his hand and never let go.

Gaulibuva came for your Divya Darshan every year and testified with great faith that you are Pandharinath Vithal incarnate, the merciful Lord of the poor and the helpless. Shri Dasganu had a desire to visit holy Prayag You showed with mercy, Ganga and Yamuna flowing from Your Toes. Such is the significance of Your holy feet. That is where all the Tirthas of your Bhaktas live.

You came to Shirdi as a young lad. Just like Krishna, children looked at You with awe and old ladies hearts swelled up with motherly affection. At Your very first Darshan, Bhagat Mahalsapati heart cried out, YA SAI and You became our Sai. Bless me with the same wealth that You blessed your Bhagat Mahalsapati with.

Saint Gangagir came to Shirdi and seeing you carrying pitchers of water in both hands for watering the garden was amazed at Your Darshan and said Blessed is Shirdi that it got this precious Jewel; but He is not an ordinary fellow. As the land was lucky and meritorious, it secured this Jewel. Saint of Anandmath was lucky to find pure diamond like you. Such was the efficacy of Your Darshan that it quieted our Samsar. Mr. Cholkar's desires were fulfilled just by Your Darshan. Mr. Sathe resorted to Your feet and seeing Your form, which was like eternal Brahma, luminous, spotless and pure, his mind became calm and composed.

Such was the efficacy of Your Darshan that Bhakta Pant saw his guru in You and was blessed with fearlessness. Ramdas Bhakta devotee saw her beloved Deity Rama in You. Lala Lakhmichand was so happy to have Your Darshan that he was enrapt with Your Lotus Feet as a bee with a sweet smelling Rose. Kakaji Vaidya found that there was no benediction, no words; just Your Divya Darshan filled his whole being with peace. Darveshis came with their sick Tiger at Your door for You to cure him. Tiger's head hung down on account of luster on Your face. Such fortune to have death at Your Lotus Feet.

Oh Sai, on this Guru Poornima day, bless me with the Vision like you blessed Anandrao Pakhade. Let me decorate my Hridya simhasan with gold and diamonds of all Satwic vrittis. Reside our Deva, take Your Feet out of Your Kafni and let me change the directions of my life towards the True Path. Let me direct all my senses towards my eyes wherein live You my Sai. I have placed Your Padukas in my heart. Murmur with Your sweet voice, Your eternal message that "These are the feet of the lord".

Oh Sai, instill Your Shashwat Sandesh in my ears, Oh... What is there in Akalkot, and what is there in Prayag? The Ranchod of Dwarka is in Shirdi

Come to my house for Bhiksha and let me serve You with my sweet devotion. Be pleased with it and placing Your Vardahasta on my head, comfort me by saying, "These feet are holy, You are carefree now. Place entire faith in me and you will soon get your object".

At Your Lotus Feet my Sai, Your own Laadla in Dwarkamai

Allah Malik
