You are the mother and father for your devotees, since they seek refuge at your holy feet.

Some of your devotees say, that you are Lord Rama some of them say that you are Lord Krishna, but, for us, you are everything.

Those who recite your name with sincerity would get your entire grace, and finally would reach the divine worlds through your blessings.

Though you appear in the form of a Fakir, but, in our eyes, you look like the handsome and the worshipful Lord Indra Bhagavan.

For us, you are the friend, philosopher, guide and god. You are the one, who gives food to the hungry people, shelter to the homeless and clothes to the beggars.

The city of Shirdi has attained great significance, due to your divine presence.

You are the one who removes the diseases of the people and gives great strength to them, and you are protecting your devotees throughout their life.

With your grace, we would be able to even lift the big mountains with our human hands.

Those who totally forgot you in their life are to be considered as the worst losers, since you are showering your grace even to those who rarely thinks about you.

Chanting the Sai Mantra, Jai Sri Sairam would blossom our lives like the lotus flower, and it acts as a best medicine both for our physical and mental wounds.

You contain great powers, and you have appeared as Lord Shiva in the eyes of some of your devotees.

You are the best gift offered to us by the god. And with this precious gift, all of our worries would fly away from us. You are always thinking about us, and finding out the best possible ways to remove our sufferings. Hey Sri Sai Guru Natha, we don’t know how to thank you, since you have done lot of goodness to us, and still you are doing and doing!

Oh my Dear Sai Appa, in my next birth, even if I take birth as a small dust particle, but, I want to permanently dwell at your lotus feet.

We are very much scared about our death,please always be with us, and remove the death related fear from our mind.
