Sai Prerna - Transliteration and Translation in English

0 Presented by Sai Ki Deewani
© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories
Sometime back an experience of Sai brother Ramsaiprakash ji was posted on Devotees Experiences with Shirdi Sai Baba blog. In that post a mention was about the book "Sai Prerna". After reading that experience many mails dropped in for the book and immediately on the same day Sai brother Ramsaiprakash ji sent me scanned copy of that book which was in hindi and quickly it was uploaded. Few of my devotee friends were unable to read hindi and thus english transliteration of the same was demanded. I was to do the task but before that a devotee has beautifully done transliteration and translation and sent it in a mail. So i thought why not share it with you all here where there are no hassles of downloading. It can be easily copied pasted. Even though i will be including download links for devotee preferring scanned version of the book.

A HUMBLE TRIBUTE OF PRAISE TO SHRI SAINATH

I bow down to Shri Ganesh
Oh, Mayureshwara, You are the one on whom we depend,
Oh, son of Gauri, the all-knowing,
Oh, You inconceivable one,
You with an immeasurable belly,
Protect me, oh, Shri Ganapati

You are the first and foremost of all the Ganas' and of all the deities;
Therefore, you are called "Ganesh"
You are acknowledged by all the "Shastras" [sacred books]
You of sacred countenance, oh, Bhalachandra!

Oh, Shraddha, Goddess of Speech !
You are the mistress of the realm of words;
Because of your existence,
All wordily transactions are carried on

You are the deity revered by all authore;
You are eternally the pride of this nation;
Your infinite power prevails everywhere.
I bow to you, Jagadambe

You are the Supreme Spirit and beloved of the saints !
incarnation in human form of Pandhariraya
You are the ocean of kindness and infinite compassion;
Oh Pandurang Narahari !

You, who control the world like a puppeteer with his strings,
You are omnipresent.
All the sciences and scared books are still delving
To plumb the essence of your nature

You, who control the world like a puppeteer with his strings,
You are omnipresent,
All the sciences and scared books are still delving
To plumb the essence of your nature

Only the saints understand you
Others remain baffled.
To you, My obeisance.
Respectful and with my whole body
prostrate in veneration before you

Oh, you five - headed Shankra,
Oh, you wearer of garland of skulls,
Oh, you blue - throated Digambara,
Oh, you Brahmaputra Pashupati !

One who recites your name all the time,
His worldly adversities are immediately dissolved
Such is, oh Dhurjati,
The power of your name

With obeisance at your feet,
I am writing this paean of praise;
Help me always to complete this mission,
Oh, you Nilkantha - the blue - throated one!

Now, let me bow to the son of Arti (Dattatreya) ,
To the family deity of Indira (Vishnu)
To Tukaram and all other saints;
So, also, to all the devotees

Hail, hail to you, Sainath,
Redeemer of sinners and merciful one !
I lay my head down at your feet;
Now give me your protection

You are the whole world, the abode of bliss:
You, yourself , are Vishnu, the paragon among men;
One whose wife is Uma !
You are also that enemy of Cupid

You are God in human form !
You are the sun in the sky of knowledge!
You are the ocean of kindness!
You are the anti - dote for worldly maladies!

You are the Chintamani of the poor and the down - trodden !
You are the divine purifer (Ganges river ) for your devotees!
You are a raft for those drowing in worldlinees!
You are the refuge of the timid.

You are the very cause of this creation!
That which is pure Chiatanya !
You are that Oh, very treasure of compassion,
The universe is only one of your Leelas

You are not born!
Death also does not affect you!
This is the final conclusion
Which one arrives at, after a thoughtful search

Birth and death,
These concepts are born of ignorance!
From both you are free
Oh, Lord of course!

If water appears as a spring,
Does it imply that its source is there?
It existed already, full and flush,
Merely sprang up from within the earth.

Water that springs up in a hallow
Is ,therefore, so described or named;
A "spring becomes its proper name
Without the water, it is only a hallow.

To spring up and to dry up and disappear,
This is not the nature of water:
Because the water of the spring
Has no importance for the hallow it fills.

It is only the hallow that is mistakenly proud
Of itself, rather than the water that filled it.
Therefore, when the water dries up
The hollow becomes impoverished.

The human body is really like the hallow water bed;
The spirit (pure energy) is like the pure clean water of the spring; Although there are innumerable such hallows
The essence is the same in everyone.

Therefore, you, who are without a beginning,
I say to you, merciful one,
To destroy the mountain of ignorance
Please become the thunderbolt of Indra

Until now, such hollows (beings)
Have existed in large numbers, on this earth.
Many more exist even now,
And, in the future, as the goes by, many more will come

Each such hollow (being)
Is given a separate and different name and appearance;
That is how in this world, They are identified.

Therefore, to distinguish that spirit
In terms of "you and me" is not proper;
Because. as there is no duality
That itself is most surely, the Spirit

And, since the Spirit
Truly encompasses the whole world,
Then, the "you and me" the duality concept,
How can it possibly be entertained?

Water latent in the clouds
Is all the same;
But when it descends upon the earth,
It assumes different forms

That which falls in the Godavari bed
Is known as the (sacred) River Godavari;
That which falls into a well
Does not have the same worthiness of prestige.

Saints are the river Godavari,
And, you are the water in it
We are the puddles , wells and lakes;
That is the difference between us.

For the fulfillments of our lives
We must surrender to you,
Always, with folded hands,
Because you are the embodiments of piety.

It is due to its water -bed
That the waters of Godavari have become holy;
Considered merly as water,
I's the same everywhere everywhere.

The bed of Godavari
That is considered as truly sacred,
Owes all its sanctity
To the quality of the land through which it flows

The water latent in the clouds
Does not alter that part of the earth on which it falls;
Yet, that very part of the earth
Is called Godavari (or pure) by the scholars
of the scared books.

Where the water has fallen elsewhere,
It has acquired the qualities of the soil of those places;
Contaminated, bitter salty it becomes
Though. originally sweet

Same is the case with you, oh, Gururaya,
In whom there is no impurity of the six - vices
To that holy form
This title, "Saint " is befitting

Therefore, saints are Godavari
so full of grace:
Amongst all the beings
Your place is the highest!

From the beginning of creation
Godavari has been in existence;
It has been full of water
And it has never lacked it till today

Look, the enemy of Ravan
Came to the banks of the Godavari
But it's water has flowed
And the water at present is not the same as old water.

The bed alone remains the same.
The waters have flowed into the ocean,
The sanctity is eternal
Of the river - bed, to this day.

Each year,
The old waters go and the new
Flow into the river bed;
It's the law, as you know.

A century is like a year
The sages of that century
Are like the flowing waters
While the great souls are like the waves on the water.

Of these saints who are like Godari,
In the early centuries,
There was a great flood
Of Sanat-Sanak-Sanandan

Followed by Narada and Tumbers
Dhruva, Prahlad, powerful king Bali,
Shabari, Angad, Vayukumar,
Vidur, Gope-Gopika

Thus,many came the present time
In each of the centuries in the past,
The floods came repeatedly,
which I am unable to recount.

In this present century,
The sacred Godavari
Has for certain flooded this land
In your form, Oh, Sainath!

Therefore at your divine feet
I make obeisance;
Maharaj, of my faults
Take no notice, I plead.

I am a poor, wretched, ignorant man,
The greatest of sinners;
Ridden with vices,
But do not cast me off!

The inherent defects of iron
Are ignored by "parisa"
The small streams of the village, Lendi and ohol
Are not rejected by the Godavari.

I am full of vices within.
By your mrercitful glance.
Do, do quickly destroy them.
This, only, is the plea of "Das"

It after coming in contact with the the "parisa"!
The iron"s inherent defects
Do not change Guruvara,
Then, it is to the discredit of the "parisa"!

14. Imaginary stone that turns iron into gold
Don't let me be a sinner
Don't belittle yourself;
Look ,you are 'parisa',I am the iron;
My discharge is your concern too.
A child always commits mistakes,

But a mother does not scold;
Remembering this,
Grant me your grace.

Oh,Sadguru Sainath,
You are my "Kalpaturu"!
You are the means for crossing this worldly ocean,
You alone are so - undoubtedly.

You are the sun in the sky of knowledge.
You are great mine of virtues !
Oh,you are the ladder to heaven !

Oh, pious, purest one,
Oh, embodiment of peace and bliss,
Oh the supreme self,
Oh the non-dual one, the ocean of knowledge;

Oh, incarnation of the supreme wisdom, the best among men,
Oh, abode of forgiveness and peace,
Oh, refuge of devotees,
Bless me, bless me !

You are the Sadguru Machinder
You are the Mathama Jalander
You are Nivratinath, Dnyaneshwar,
Kabir, Sheikh Mohammed, Eknath you are.
You are Bodhla You are Savatamali,
You are truly Ramdas
You are Tukaram Sainath,
You are Sakha You are Manikparabhu

Your present manifestation,
And your manifold nature
are really difficult to understand !
The knowledge about your caste and creed
You do not reveal to anybody.

Some say you are a Muslim,
Some say you are Brahmin.
Thus like Krushana,
You too, are inscrutable!

Having observed Shri Krishan,
Different people called him by various names.
Some call him 'Yadu Bushan'
Some call him a cowherd.

Yashoda called him a darling
Kansa called him the great evil.
Uddhav called him beloved,
Arjun called him Omniscient.

Thus oh Guruvara, To you
According to each person's conclusion
Based on his mental attitude,
Names are give, by them.

The masjid being your dewelling,
And your ears not being pierced.
Nothing your offering the 'Fateha'
To call you a Muslim is logical

In the thirteenth verse of seventh Canto of Shri Sai - Charitra,
Hemadpant says:- "His ears were piecred, so how can be called a Yavana?
Circumcision he approved, so how can he be called a Hindu?
"He is neither Hindu nor Muslim,
Sai is the holy incarnation.
Sai is the holy incarnation. "
The late Swami Sai-Sharn-Anand has rendered this work of Das Ganu into Gujarati In the footnote to his translation of the sixty-seventh verse thereof , he observes,
"Das Ganu does not appear to have observed Baba's ears carefully.
As per the translator's own knowledge and observations.

Similarly , considering the worship of fire,
As done by you, Lord of mercy,
My own conclusion is
That you are a Hindu !

But these superficial differences
Would interest only pedagogues;
But for those devotees desirous of knowledge
They are of no consequence.

You are Brahma Itself !
Caste and greed have no relevance to you ;
You are the Guru Supreme !
You are the creator of this world !

If any prasad were brought at a time other the afternoon Naivedya and if Bade Baba or other Muslims were present, Baba would order the first "Sura" of Koran to be recited and would himself join in. But in the absence of Muslims, this practice was never follow.

There was Hindu - Muslim rivalry;
Therefore , to bring about unity and amity.
The masjid and the fire worship were embraced by you,
To show your "leela" to the devotees.

You are beyond caste and greed,
You are Brahman, the essence to Truth;
You are That, verily,
You are beyond human conception !

Giving free rein to surmises and conjectures,
Arguments have flourished about you.
There, my insignificant
Words, how will they prevail?

But when I behold you,
I cannot remain silent;
Because for encomium, words
Are normally the only means.

Therfore, by means of words,
Whatever description is possible,
That I will always proffer,
With your grace.

Saints, I reckon
Higher than gods;
For distinctions such as mine and thine
find not a place in their proximity.

Hiranyakashapu and Ravana
Were killed because of their hatred of god;
Such a deed has never been done by saints.

Gopichand, In the heap of garbage,
Buried Jalandara;
But that sage
Had no rancour for that act.

On the contrary, the king was delivered
from the material world
And was immortalised ;
Such is the prowess of the saints,
It is indescribable !

Saints are the Sun,
Their grace is illuminating ;
Saints are as pleasing as the moon,
Their benign ness is as gentle as moonlight.

Saints, are the soothing musk,
Their blessing are like it's fragrance,
Saints are the juicy sugarcane,
Their blessings are like its sweetness.

Saints, towards the good and the bad,
Are the same, definitely.
On the contrary, their love for the sinners
Is immeasurable.

In the waters of the Godavari,
Only the soiled clothes come to be cleansed ;
The clean ones, in a trunk,
Remain far from the Godavari banks.

Even that which remained in the trunk,
came once,
To be cleansed thoroughly
On the Godavari banks.

The trunk is the eternal abode ;
You are the Godavari, unshakable faith is the ghat;
All beings are the garments
Full of the impurities comprising six vices.

The "Darshan" of your feet
Is like a bath in the Godavari ;
Wash away my sins.
Oh, Samarth, and purify me !

We worldly people
Gather layers of impurities again and again ;
Therefore, we are the right people
for the "Darshan" of saints.

In the abundant waters of the Godavari
Comes the wash, to be cleansed at the Ghats
If it is really left unattended,
Then, it is a discredit to the Godavari !

You are the cool, shady tree, with abundant foliage ;
We are the travellers, really,
Suffering from the scorching sun - rays
Of the three - fold calamities of Life.

From that blazing heat, oh compassionate one,
Protect us, Oh Gururaya
The benign grace of your cool shade
Is extraordinary !

Sitting under a tree
If one feels the heat of the sun,
Then, who will call that tree
The shade-giving tree ?

Lock, without your grace
Nothing can be right in the world ;
Sheshayee befriended Arjuna,
To uphold the right.

Due to the kindness of Sugriv, Bibhishana
Came in contact with King Ram,
It is due to the saints,
That Shri Hari is thus glorified.

Brahman, being formless,
Vedas cannot describe it.
Be endowing it with forms,
The saints have reduced the importance of the formless !

Vaikunthpati, husband of Rukmini,
was made a "Mahra " by Damaji ;
To pick up corpses of buffaloes
Chokhamela made Jagad-Atma (God) slog.

Knowing the prowess of saints,
Jagjivan laboured by carring water.
Saints have truly lorded
Over God Himself, who is Eternal Truth
- Knowledge - Bliss.

There is no need to speak more.
You are our mother and our father,
Oh, Sadguru Sainath,
Dweller of Shirdi village.

Baba, your "Leelas"
No one can truly comprehend ;
Then, my plebain speech
How can it do justice, tell me ?

To save the sinners,
You came to Shirdi;
Pouring water into earthen lamps,
You made them burn,

The wooden plank of absurdly small measures
You turned into your bed, truly;
Thereby displaying to the devotees
Your amazing yogic powers !

The barrenness of many women
You have completely dispelled ;
The diseases of many
You have cured with the " Udi " !

To ward off worldly difficulties
Is not impossible for you.
The weight of an ant,
Does the elephant consider as a burden?

So be it, Gururaya,
Have mercy on the humble one.
I surrender at your feet,
Do not turn me away.

You are the king of kings,
You are richer than Kuber himself,
You are the Heater par excellence.
No one is superior to you !

for the worship of other deities.
The ritual is as prescribed.
But, for your worship,
There is nothing worthy of you !

Look, in the realm of the sun,
The festival of Deepavali has come ;
But to celebrate it ,
What shall be the means ?

To quench the ocean's
Thirst, adequate water cannot be found on earth;
To warm the fire
From where will the heat be found ?

All articles needed for the worship
Are filled with your essence;
from the beginning, they are part of you,
Oh, Shreesamartha Gururaya !

All my talk is a philosophical statement,
for I have not experienced its truth.
I have spoken with out experience,
A meangingless maze of words.

If ritualistic worship
Of you, is to be performed by me,
To do that I have no wherewithal’s,
My Samaratha Gururaya !

Mostly, with the help of my imagination only
Will I worship you.
That worship itself, oh compassionate one,
Do accept from this slave.

Now with my tears
I bathe your feet;
The sandalwood of true devotion
I make into paste and apply.

The long tunic ("Kafni") of these ornamental words
I place on you, sincerely ;
This garland of adoration,
I place round your neck.

The incense of vileness
I burn before you, truly ;
Through it is of impure composition
Even then, there will be no foul-odour from it.

Elsewhere than before the Sadguru,
If incense is burnt
What happens to that incense
Is like this

When the incense is put on the fire,
The moment it actually touches it
The fragrance from the incense
Leaves it instantly.

Before you, it's the contrary
the impurities burn away in the fire,
The good remains for ever
For the world to see.

Once the vileness of the mind is burnt away,
The mind will become purer ;
Once the Ganga's impurity is gone,
Then it is holy, naturnally.

The light of temptations
I kindle most truly,
From which, may the lustre of asceticism
Be granted to me, oh Guruvara !

The throne of pure faith
I offer you as a seat ;
On receiving it
Accept the offering ("naiyvedya" ) of devotion.

You partake the offerings of devotion,
Give me the essence ;
Because I am your child
I have a claim on your milk.

My mind is my monetary offering ("Dakshina")
That I offer to you ;
Therefore, the credit or discredit of any action
will no longer be mine.

Now, most humbly and devotedly
I do obeisance to you ;
Please accept it,
Oh divine Sainath

EIGHTFOLD PRAYER

Possessing peaceful mind, and wisdom supreme,
Sainath, the compassionate,
You are ocean of kindess, truth incarnate ,
And destroyer of the darkness of ignorance !
The sage, beyond caste and greed you are.
Beyond comprehension compassion incarnate;
Protect me, protect me,
Oh, Sainath of Shirdi

You are the sun of Divine Knowledge
the bestower of choicest blessings ;
Oh, fabled Hamsa of the minds of the devotees,
Protector you are of those who surrender to you.

You are Brahmadev, creator of the world;
You the sustainer of the world Vishnu ;
The destroyer of the three worlds,
You are that very Rudra !

There is no place on this earth,
Where you are not
Omniscient, oh you Sainath,
You dwell in all our hearts.

Forgive us all our sins
I implore you !
And those weaves of doubts and delusions,
Repel instantly.

You are cow, I the calf,
You are moon, I the stone melted by It's light;
At your feet, which are like the Ganges,
Respectfully the slave (Das) bows down !
Place on my head
Your hand and bless me, oh Lord!
Wars off my sorrow and worry
For this Ganu is your servant.

With this eight-fold prayer
I prostrate myself before ;
My sins (demerits) suffering and poverty
Ward off immediately.

You are the cow and I the calf ;
You are the mother and I the child ;
Do not harbour
Any harsh feelings towards me

You are the sandalwood from Malaygiri
I'm a thorny shrub.
You are the life-giving waters of Godawari,
I, the greatest of sinners.

If after having your "Darshan"
The impurities of my wicked mind remain
Unchanged Gururaya,
Who will then call you sandalwood

The proximity of musk ("Kasturi")
makes even the dust more valuable;
The fragrance of flowers is transmitted
To the thread which ties the garlands.

This is the way of the great.
Whosoever they come in touch with,
To him they impart
A part of their greatness.

Sacred ashes, join cloth and the bull,
Shiva made symbolic parts of himself;
Therefore, these objects
Are praised in all quarters.

For the amusement of the cowherds,
At Vrindavan, on the banks of the Yamuna,
The lord of the World played "Dahi-Kala"
That too has earned recognition from wise men

Similarly , I am a sinner,
But, I am under your protection;
Will you not redeem me, Oh, Gururaya
From my sinful state?

Worldly or spiritual,
In whatever objects I seek satisfaction,
I have no doubt, O Gururaya,
That you will grant me these.

With your grace,
Control my mind ;
If the oceans are sweetened
There is no fear of their being salty.

To make the oceans sweet
Truly you have the powers.
Therefore, this supplication of Dasganu,
Please concede.

Whatever be my shortcomings,
They are all yours !
You are the foremost among the spiritual masters,
So do not stint while giving.

Now, why should I speak more ?
You are my only refuge.
The child held in the mother's arms,
Is naturally with out fear.

So be it. This hymn of praise,
Whosoever read with love,
Their desires
Fulfil, O Lord.

Your blessing for this hymn
I entreat.
May the difficulties of he who receites this sincerely.
Be warded off within a Year

After performing all ablutions,
Should this hymn, be recited regularly,
With a pure and sincere feeling
In your heart

If this be not possible,
Then, every Thursday.
Meditating on the Sadguru in your mind.
This hymn should be recited.

If even this be not possible
Then on every "ekadasi"
This hymn should be read
To realize the beneficial effect.

One who recites this with faith
Will ultimately progress spiritually by the Grace of Guru.
Who will satiate the material desires readily.
And thereby deliver him from their bondage

With repeated recitations of this hymn.
Dull wits will be sharpened.
And, If perchance, someone's life is short,
Then, by recitation, he will live upto a hundred years!
Where wealth is wanting.
Kuber, the Lord of wealth himself will come to stay.
Oh reading this hymn.
This is the Truth and so it shall be.

To the childless children will be born
On reciting this hymn.
And the ailments of one who recites this hymn
Will be dispelled in all directions.

Fear and worry will disappear,
Prestige will increase.
He will realise the imperishable Brahman
With the regular recitation of this hymn.

Regarding this hymn, oh wise ones,
Have faith in your hearts
About the efficacy of this hymn;
And give no place
To doubts and misconceptions.

Go on pilgrimage to Shirdi,
Concentrate on the lotus feet of Baba,
Who is the succour of the poor and the meek,
The wish- fulfilling tree for the devotees !

It was because of the inspiration received from Him
That this hymn has been composed.
How else could an insignificant ignorant one, like me,
Have written it ?

In Shake 1840
In the bright half of the Bhadrapad month,
On Ganesh-Chaturthi day,
Monday, in the second 'Parhar'

This humble tribute of praise to Shri Sainath,
Was completed at Maheshwara
By the sacred bank of the Narmada
Near Shri Ahilya Devi's

At Maheshwara , the famous Tirtha,
The hymn was completed.
Shri Sai Nath made me utter every word
By becoming part of my mind.
The disciple Damodar
Became the scribe truly,
I Das, Ganu, am only an obedient servant.
Of all the saints and sages

Peace be with you ! May this humble tribute
of praise to Shri Sainath
Help you cross the worldly ocean.
This is the prayer, with faith and respect
Of Das Ganu, to Shri Panduranga

Let this be offered to Shri hari-Hara!
Bless us, O Lord !
Pundalik Varada(fulfiller of wishes) Hari-Vithal !
I recall Sitakanta ! Hail Hail Rama
Parvati-pate Har-Har Mahadev !
Hail to Shri Sadguru Sainath Maharaj !
Shri Sadguru Sainath, I offer this to you
Bless us, O Lord!

Sai Nav Graha Shanti Mantra - Hindi Script

1 Presented by Sai Ki Deewani
© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories
साईं तुम में सब लोक समाये
सब ग्रह तुम से ही गतियां पाये

सूर्य देव के तेज से मानव
यश प्रताप की दौलत पाये

चन्द्र देवता अति प्रसन्न हों
तन मन को शीतल कर जायें

मंगल भी अमंगल तज कर
मंगल मंगल ही कर जाये

बुद्ध ज्ञान भण्डार बढाए
जब धरती पर प्रकाश फैलाये

बृहस्पति सब सुखों से भर दे
तेरी भस्म जो माथ लगाये

शुक्र अनिष्ट नहीं कर पाये
जब बाबा प्रेम की गंगा बहाये

शनि कभी ना वक्री होये
तेरे चरण आ रक्षण पाये

तेरी एक नजर से बाबा
राहू रफूचक्कर हो जाये

केतु अपने शुभ ग्रह में रह
तेरे जन को लाभ कराये

श्रद्धा रख तेरे दर जो आये
कर्म लेख उनका मिट जाये

बाबा तुम्हरी कृपा दृष्टि से
सब ग्रह सही दिशा पर आये

काहे विधि का लेख डराये
जब करुनासिंधु सब पाप मिटाये

तेरे चमत्कार से देवा
तेरा 'बंधू' नवजीवन पाये

वेद, वेदांत, श्रुति समझाये
तेरी महिमा कही ना जाये
