Saisa Satkam Mantra

Verse One
 

Pradosa kala darsanam visala kesa bhusanam
Susantakantapalakam namami sai sankaram
Aneka nama dharinam sanatanatma darsakam
Vinodavisya posakam manobhilasapurakam
 

I salute Sai Sankara, adorned with majestic hair, who grants His darshan in the auspicious hours of the day, and protects His devotees: who is always serene, who bears many names and leads us to the Eternal Spirit and for whom sustenance of the universe, and fulfillment of our aspirations is a play.

 

Verse Two

Anantaprema sagaram anantasantidayakam
Nirantaram bhajamyaham krpakaram prabhakaram
Akhanda visvanayakam pracandakarya sadhakam
Acintya jyotirupinam dayadi bhava prerakam

I serve constantly the Lord who is the ocean of infinite love, who showers infinite peace, mercy and light, who is the Lord of the entire universe and achiever of many great tasks and who is the incomprehensive embodiment of light and who inspires in us noble feelings like kindness.

 

Verse Three

Sudhairyahastasucakam prabhava bhavasthavaram
Tvameva sarva pavanam mamatma sakti karanam
Sakala bhakta palakam sadanukulakarakam
Visalabhava murtitam susila sai cinmayam
 

I salute the effulgent Lord Sai who grants us courage with an upraised hand, who is the mountain of beneficent influence, who protects His devotees at the appropriate time, grants us favorable situations, and who is the very embodiment of all noble feelings and attributes. O Sai, You are the sole purifier of all and the source of my inner strength.

Verse Four

Pravinavina vainikam prasadasarvaraksakam
Sudharma murti raghavam supavanatma manusam
Survesarammunisvaram mahesvaram saisvaram
Vibhutidhari sundaram yajami tam pratparam
 

I worship the supreme Lord Sai, whose beautiful form is adorned by the sacred ash, who is the master on vina (musical instrument) and protector of all, and who is Raghava, the embodiment of dharma and the Lord of all angels and sages.

Verse Five

Trilokapujyanayakam vinita bhaktapalakam
Suniti pritidayakam vibhutidana sankaram
Prasanti vasi mohakam susanti marga darsakam
Prakanti sobhitammukham sadakaromi cintanam

 

I contemplate on Lord Sankara, worthy of adoration by the three worlds, and protector of devotees who bow to Him with humility, the bestower of Love and the sacred ash (vibhutti) who resides in Prasanthi, charms everyone, and leads us to the path of eternal peace, and whose face shines with great effulgence.

Verse Six

Mahagunajna raghavam prasannarupi madhavam
Parantu adya sai nama ekadeva rupinam
Namami partinayakam smarami sirdipalakam
Sadavidhata bhagyatam tvameva sai sundaram

 

O, beautiful Lord Sai, the bestower of all prosperity, You were the great and virtuous Rhagava, and ever blissful Madhava; but now You embody the one God. I meditate on You, the Lord of Parthi and Shirdi.
