  • I call YOU…!

    Please come and hold my hand

    As I walk this rocky road

    My feet are stumbling as I carry

    This unbearable load…

    Eyes are welling up with tears

    My breath feels heavy and rugged

    Mind is full of doubts and fears

    My state of mind is worried…

    Heart feels weak and I don’t know

    How will I fare this test

    YOUR name I chant along

    As I tread, forgetting all the rest…

    Just YOU my Baba, my saviour, my guide

    Can help me along this way 

    Please calm my unsettled mind

    And hold me strong, for I sway…

    I know YOU are there for sure

    I know YOU won’t let me fall 

    Come, hold me in YOUR strong embrace

    And make me strong and tall…

    With YOU along I can brave the fears

    With YOU I can pass this test

    In YOUR light I can defeat this gloom

    And put my anxiety to rest…

    Waiting for YOUR light to shine

    For YOUR strength to give me peace

    Please come and hold me my SAI

    I call YOU with every inch of me and piece! 

  • BABA – never enough of YOU…!

    I look at YOU to my heart’s content

    But still, it’s never enough

    I chant YOUR name night and day

    Whether the going is smooth or rough…

    I quench my thirst with YOUR pious name

    But still, it never goes

    Endlessly I have YOUR sight

    It truly ends my woes…

    I see YOU here, and I see YOU there

    But still, I’m never satisfied

    I search for YOU everywhere 

    In this world so big and wide…

    I know YOU are the wirepuller

    And nothing is there which YOU can’t do

    But every time I see YOUR magic 

    I wonder how it can be true…

    I know YOU me love very much

    But every day I want more than before

    Please never cease amazing me

    For I crave for more and more… 

  • My Baba… My Guru… My All…!

    I sit at Your feet, mesmerised 

    YOU are my Baba, I’m Your child

    Fondly, as YOU caress my head

    All my fears I start to shed

    Looking at YOUR love-filled eyes

    Deepest of my anxiety dies

    YOUR one look cleanses me

    YOU hold my hand and I feel free

    YOUR enigmatic smile 

    and – when YOU lovingly say “My child”

    Makes my emotions run wild 

    My tears flow incessant, but I feel mild

    YOU are my Baba, my strength, my all

    At YOUR lotus feet, I repeatedly befall… 

  • Love YOU Baba…! ❤️

    In moments bright or the darkest nights
    In turbulent storms or the calmest sights
    When my boat is rocking in crazy seas
    When fearful thoughts make my heart go weak
    In times of joy or those tearful nights
    In the loudest applause or the loneliest sighs
    When no one around seems to care a bit
    When my stressed mind makes me go in a fit

    If I just only look at YOU
    I feel love, as pure as dew

    YOU bring me peace
    YOU bring me hope
    YOU make me smile
    YOU make me cope

    YOU are my anchor
    YOU are my mentor
    YOU are my SUN
    YOU are my everyone!

    Love YOU Baba! ❤️

  • Just You & Me Baba…!

    Just You & me Baba

    What more do I need

    Talking to You and learning truths

    With You my joy is guaranteed!

    Just You & me Baba

    What more do I crave

    Mesmerised by Your soothing voice

    Can I ever say thanks for all that You gave?

    Just You & me Baba

    What more do I want 

    Gazing into Your loving eyes

    I forget all my fears, nothing haunts!

    Just You & me Baba

    Where else can I sleep

    On your lap when I place my head

    The peace is felt right deep! 

    Just You & me Baba

    No other is there to care

    I’ve been pained by all

    The love You give is rare!

    Together with You Baba

    Close to You I wish I stay

    Into You I want to merge

    Your word I want to obey!

    Forever with You Baba

    Like Your Sunshine ray

    Holding Your hand I want to walk

    Miles and miles away…!

  • Towards YOU…!

    I see this creeper inching towards You everyday

    I wonder what it is wanting to say

    Gradually, it grows in length

    Enhancing itself and gaining strength

    Curiously, I wait to see

    When will it finally touch Your feet

    It is headed for the most pious joy

    Its victory, I will heartily enjoy!

  • YOU, only You…!

    You’re the only light in my life

    All else is bleak

    You’re the only peace in me

    Nothing else I seek

    You’re my heart’s calling

    All else is noise

    You’re the one I want to be with

    Who else stands a choice

    You’re the one I want with me

    No one else is true

    You’re my only friend Baba

    None as You, old or new

    You’re the only rainbow I see

    All else is sheer gloom

    Your smile lifts my spirits

    Everything else is doomed

    How do I tell thee Baba

    What all You mean to me

    Without You I am meaningless

    No point being, if YOU I don’t see…!

  • Reverence…!

    You always know when to step in
    When to push me ahead or pull me back
    You always know how to help me
    To keep or steer me on the correct track
    You never show that it’s Your work
    But the love in it spills the beans
    Who else, but You, my loving Sai
    Is behind these magically caring schemes!

    Just like that You come to help
    Just like that You bring back my smile
    Just like that You change the scene
    In Your super loving and mysterious style
    My guiding star, my lighthouse You are
    Baba You have not a part, but my heart in whole
    Never forsake me or leave my hand
    Just fill me with You – body, mind and soul!

  • Divine Message…!

    How do I talk to YOU my God? 

    Do I visit your famous shrine, or bring YOU flowers special

    Do I donate to YOUR shrine’s treasury, or earn some credentials

    Do I call a big crowd, and sing YOUR praises to them

    Do I travel to the places, which my religion says are YOUR realm

    Do I make a temple in YOUR name, and have YOU all glittered in gold

    Do I offer YOU jewels, and get YOU the most dazzling throne

    Do I have to sit alone – eyes closed is it my Lord?

    Do I follow the rituals as mentioned in our holy records

    Will YOU understand through these actions, that I really love YOU so much 

    Will ever someone else pray to YOU with love such!

     

    Just while I thought,  I had understood it all, 

    A roaring laughter I heard – it had me enthralled 

     

    No need for any paraphernalia, no gold or flowers I want

    No crowds or throne with jewels, all this is so wrong

    A heart full of love, eyes with tears of joy

    Hands folded? Oh it doesn’t matter, if sitting with me you enjoy

    Whether you come in the morning or later in the day

    Just make sure my child, you come with love, not fear!

    Whether for a quick hello, or for hours you sit with me

    Don’t come if someone makes you, just at your wish you be

    And do you know my child, what will have me more impressed?

    If you offer your helping hand to that someone in distress

    Bring a smile on someone’s face and then you’ll see my child

    How madly, deeply, crazily I’ll love you and make you mine”

    So go to the shrine if you want, do all that they say too

    But only if you want it, not ‘coz they say ‘I told you to’!

    I live in your heart, I also live in the other’s

    So if you want to please me, don’t be for anyone a bother

    Love and live my child, for love is the greatest of all

    Only those who cause a pain, have misery on them befall

     

    With tears flowing endlessly, I listen to every word

    “I will do as YOU say my Baba, what a beautiful message I’ve got

    Whenever I want to meet YOU, I will try to look within

    Your beautiful message my Baba, has left me with the biggest grin”!
