  • 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! 

  • 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… 

  • YOU… me…!

    YOU have magical ways

    However gloomy the days

    YOU bless me somehow

    Through cracks, YOUR light YOU allow…

    Mysteriously and without a sound

    Sometimes like a thought profound

    Quietly amongst my lows

    An encouraging idea YOU throw…

    Enigmatically smiling as YOU do

    A new path YOU bring to my view

    Lifting me from the misery

    YOU save me from possible injury…

    Enwrapping me in YOUR gracious care

    YOU caution me when I am unaware

    At times when I cry helplessly

    YOU stroke my head most tenderly… 

    In times of fear YOU hold my hand

    In the toughest situations, YOU send a plan

    In inertia, YOU become my energy

    YOU reassure me to calm my anxiety….

    So thankful that YOU are in my life

    For YOUR grace I am alive 

    Just gratitude flows seamlessly

    Please keep loving me endlessly…! 

  • 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…!

  • YOU & YOUR light…!

    YOU are the SUN and I, Your sunshine

    Like a vine, to YOU I entwine 

    Without YOU there can never be a me

    Without YOU, I have no identity 

    YOU are my boulder, to YOU I owe my strength 

    YOU are my saviour; I know for me YOU’ll go any length

    YOU are my guide, YOUR teachings I try to imbibe

    YOU are my God, YOUR feet are my shrine 

    YOU always love, YOUR caress is not seen but felt

    YOUR love is the purest, YOU make the toughest heart melt

    YOU are MY SAI, YOUR name I chant day and night 

    YOU are MY BABA, I live by YOUR face, YOUR name and YOUR light…!

  • I know that YOU know…!

    I know that YOU know what’s the best for me

    Just give me the strength to wait and see

    And while I wait for YOU to work it out

    May I show patience and don’t fret about

    While I wait for YOUR magic to realise

    May my trust at YOUR feet get energised

    I know that YOU know what will bring me joy

    And while I wait, let me enjoy

    Grow my faith, let not me wail

    Toughen me to face the gales

    Embolden me, let me not sigh

    I know eventually YOU will fly me high!

  • Always, YOU…!

    This year, that year, every year
    With You always, absolutely near
    Holding Your hand as I walk on
    Chanting Your name, humming Your song

    No one can understand what You do for me
    Your loving grace, hope everyone can see
    Make me worthy of being Your tool
    To spread Your grace, Your loving rules

    Teach me Sai to live by You
    To see Your self in every view
    In each of my life’s rendezvous
    May I choose You, just always YOU!

    🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

  • SAI & I…!

    One look at YOU and my heart finds it’s peace
    One glance from YOU and my heart finds it’s bliss
    There is magic in YOUR look my Sai
    No one loves me like YOU do
    In YOUR embrace my Sai
    I found the joy which I never knew
    YOU make me feel confident Sai
    With YOU I believe that I can
    YOU make me smile my Sai
    I feel proud to be of YOUR clan
    YOU make me feel truly loved
    I feel blessed to be a part of YOUR plan
    YOU teach me patience and grow my faith
    YOU teach me how to endure even in pain
    YOU never fail to help, support and relieve
    YOU show YOUR magic and always make me believe
    I want YOUR signs and messages always
    I want to live my life following YOUR ways
    Just continue loving me and holding my hand
    YOUR word my Sai, is, and will always be my command!

  • Love YOU Baba ❤️

    I see YOU in the sunshine

    I see YOU in the rain

    YOU’re with me in my laughter

    And with me in my pain

    I’m a part of YOU for ever

    Free, yet tied to YOU in chain!


    I see YOU in my morning

    I see YOU when the day’s done

    YOU’re there when the wind blows

    And even when there’s none

    I’m mesmerised by YOUR smile

    Of my life YOU’re the shining sun!

    YOU hold my hand tightly

    Yet urge me to tread

    YOU lead the path always

    Like YOU had kindly said

    YOU find a way to reach me

    Whenever I get misled!


    I find peace at YOUR feet

    And solace in YOUR presence

    I look at YOU for everything

    Want to soak in YOUR essence

    Baba, YOUR being there with me –

    Makes even this look like heaven!

  • With love for YOU BABA – my Guru, my Friend, my Guide, my Everything…! ❤️

    Offering myself – at YOUR holy feet
    Watching YOUR smile – an absolute treat
    Following YOUR word – my way of life
    Holding YOUR hand – I cross each strife
    Merging into YOU – my ultimate desire
    Obtaining YOUR grace – my heart’s fire
    Chanting YOUR name – is my heartbeat 
    Thinking of YOU – makes me complete
    By YOUR grace – I wish to cross this maze
    YOUR embrace – my safest place! 
  • Devotee’s prayer…!

    We know we err not less but much
    We know we fault even knowingly as such
    We know we fail many tests that You give
    We beg to You – Oh Father, please forgive

    Take away this agony which has been hurled
    Dear Lord – please heal the world!

    Save us from this crisis gnawing our senses
    Please guide us away from our offenses
    Save us from this panic creeping our heart  
    Only You know this magical art

    Keep us from having this terrible fall
    Dear Lord – please save us all!

    Show Your light and let us see
    The victory of faith of Your devotee
    Show the path which You want us to take
    Please help, guide and pardon our mistakes

    Don’t leave our hands, do not forsake
    Dear Lord – please give us one more retake


  • Prayer…!

    img_7858

    With a heart so heavy and eyes so numb

    I look at Thee with questions some

    Why am I the target of this?

    Why do I have to live with this?

    When I see clearly what they do to me?

    Why can’t I let myself free?

    Why do I need to stay chained this way?

    I would like to leave, if I may

    Did I really choose this for me

    If yes, then what is yet to see

    To reach where You want me to be

    Oh can I reach there sooner please

    Make me, before this breaks me 

    A plea with all my heart to flee

    Help me and light my path ahead

    Please guide me – like “I will”, You said! 

  • Life, or Strife…?

    Not one who is not in pain in this life
    Not one who is free from some major strife
    As I meet people, such pain I see
    Is this how You wanted Your world to be? 

    Fake smiles, each fighting gross pain
    All the advices just go in vain
    Tears and sobs and compromise
    Before age we need to act wise

    It hurts me immense and I want to help
    It breaks my heart to hear them yelp
    I want to give them the balm they seek
    Atleast give strength to those who’re weak

    But nothing soothes the pain which kills
    Nothing which really helps to fill
    The void – which’s so deep and bare
    I just sit with You to say a prayer… 

    Finding our way in this maze You’ve made
    Listening to Your voice which sometimes fades
    Steering along the stumbling blocks
    We’re trying to reach our destination rock

    Just keep us on the path which is right
    Don’t let us fall, just hold us tight
    None who can soothe, none who can guide
    None who can help us cross this trench so wide

    Don’t leave our hand while we try to walk
    Just be there when we want to talk
    Give us the strength to bear this strife
    Let us have a happy life…! 





  • With Love for YOU, My Baba…!

    1

    Let my treasure be the service at YOUR feet 

    Seeing YOUR peaceful form – my only treat

    Let my heart pulsate only YOUR name

    Just YOU and me for once in a frame

    Let all my desires culminate in YOU

    Now & forever, with YOU I get glued

    Give me the melody to sing YOUR praise

    In YOUR showers of blessings, let there be no delays

    Let YOUR abode be my ultimate retreat

    Resting peacefully at YOUR lotus feet

    Resonating YOUR name even in sleep

    Experiencing bliss as in YOUR love I weep

    Let every breath in me call out to YOU

    Each feeling in me so pure and true

    That YOU accept me as YOUR very own

    and let me be, forever in YOUR zone…!

                                                                      Love YOU Baba! ❤️

  • YOU, My Sai…!

    Sai

    Throughout the night, and throughout the day

    I can talk to YOU, if I have my say

    Where-ever I go, whichever way

    YOUR face I want to see, if I may

    Each breath that I take, consciously or not so much

    Want to think of YOU, if I’m allowed as such

    With every heartbeat reverberating within me

    I want to soak myself in YOUR divinity

    With every word that I know or have ever learnt

    I want to talk to YOU, even if this tongue is burnt

    No moment of this life is worthwhile 

    If YOU haven’t looked at me and smiled

    No one can ever be what YOU are

    My father, my guru, my Baba – you’re near, even when far…!

    Love YOU so much that it makes me cry

    With YOUR name I want to be identified

    For YOUR association I want to apply

    For every inch closer to YOU, I want to try

    No one for me to offer the solace

    Which YOU provide through YOUR miraculous ways

    From dawn to dusk, with each breath that I take

    I want to live for YOUR name’s sake

    With a wish in me to meet YOU at the end

    I’ll happily face all the challenges that this life will send!
