dhar ke bhes ek sayasi ka sai ji van me firte rehte
us neem vriksh ki chhaav tale samadhist rehte
bbabul ke kantile van me chalkar dhanya use karte
khandoba mandir ka pujari tha mahalsapati
samman kiya thha sai ka samajhke ek atithi
uske hi mukh me thhi saraswati biraji
baba ko sai banakar ban gaya jag me yashasvi
baba darshan karne dore ata vo nitprati
baba ke mukhmandal me dikhti thi usko apne khandoba ki chhavi
charnon me girkar jab pranaam unhe karta
rom rom me dikhte usko jag ke bharta
itna thha prabhavit vo sai ke tejasmayi roop se
prem jaaga jaise katre ko dhoop se
premi bhagat vo sai ka , sang mitr do aaye
appa kote aur kashinaath kehlaye
appa kote ki patni ne ne jag rakshak ki raksha ka bida uthaya
baija ke sang usne bhi baba ko apne haatho se khilaya
are kya bhaag hoga in paavan naariyon ka
rini banaakar sopa bhaar piriyon ka
kya mehek hogi havaon ki
kya drishya honge ye prem raas ke
vrindavan ki gopiyan ka yeh madhur sangam , ab kaliyug me hua
sai inke prem me nihaal jate hai
he sainath hum tere hi gun gaate hai
tere naam se apna jeevan safal banate hai.

dhanya dhanya ati pavan shirdi ki bhoomi
bana gayi jagdish ko hi apna rini
yahan ke kan kan me mehek hai baba ki
havaon me urti hai sugandh, jaane kaisa yeh rinanubandh
ek ek patta , ek ek tinka teri jeevan gaatha sunaye
sunkar bhi man ki pyaas bhujh na paaye
saagar ki lehre ho jaise, suraj ki kirane ho jaise
sai katha ki amritdhara ka ant na koi paaye
aao hum sab milkar is ganga me aatam ko bhigaye
man ka mail mitaye is man darpan ko shudh  banaye
kaun jaane kis ujale mein uska darshan ho jaaye
man darpan ki dono patwaron par naam usi ka likh do
kevat banker vo sabki naiya bhav se paar lagate hain
he sainath hum tere hi gun gaate hai
tere naam se apna jeevan safal banate hai.

THE WORLD IS COMPARED TO AN UPSIDE DOWN BANYAN TREE WHOSE BEGINNING AND END ARE UNKNOWN TO HUMAN BEINGS . SADGURUS INCARNATE TO UPLIFT HUMAN BEINGS TO THEIR INFINITE FORM.
THEY ARE LIKE THE SUN EMANATING LIGHT TO ONE AND ALL.
THEY ARE BEYOND CASTE , CREED , RELIGION , GENDER .
WHILE SOME WHO BELIEVE THEY CAN UNDERSTAND AND REACH TO THE THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE WORLD THEMSELVES TRY TO INFLICT PAIN ON THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY GONE BEYOND THE HAPPINESS AND SORROW OF THIS MORTAL WORLD , LIKE SOMEONE TRYING TO SPIT ON THE MOON.
WHILE OTHERS HUMBLY BOW DOWN TO THEIR FEET AND ARE THUS ABLE TO CROSS THE GREAT OCEAN (BHAVSAGAR) OF THE WORLD

SAI KATHA CONTINUED

Fakir ka roop dharan karke Khandoba mandir me pravesh  kar gaye sai

Is gatna se samashaya ki hindu muslin sikh isai sabhi ek dooje ke bhai

Lekin mandir me rehna na laga sai ji ko mangal

Ghar ban gaya unka ek babul ka jangal

Us jangal me duniya se door sai ji rehne lage

Log ek dooje ko us fakir ke bare me kehne lage

Jab yeh khabar gaav ke patil tak ja pahuchi

Darshan karne gaya vo unke ,saath me thi uski patni

Jab neem vriksh ke paas ja pahuche kote patil or baija bai

Dhyaan me magn baithe the aasan lagakar sai

Baija ko man hi man hone laga us yuvak se mamta bhara aakarshan

Kote patil ke man ko har gaya us yogi ke chehre par chaya balpan

Soche dono kab yeh apni akhiya khole

Naino ko pasar tab sai ji unse bole

Mai tu pichle janmo se hai meri behna

Kaise bhala tal sakta hoon tera kehna

Baija ne jo sune sai ji key eh amrit bhare vachan

Man hi man utha liya yeh pran

Jab tak tum bhojan nahi khaoge

Apni is didi ko bhukha hi paoge

Tab tak na choongi mai ann jal

Jab tak tera pet na gaya ho bhar

Roj bhakri sabzi tokri me uthaye

Baba se vo nit prati milne aaye

Poore jangal me vo unhe dhoondhte firti

Unko paakar phir harshit hua unke pair pakarti

Baba kehte kabhi ma kabhi didi

Jaise ho yashoda ke kanha kaushalya ke raghurai

Un dono ke prem ko dekh sabhi aasharyachakit reh jate hai

He sainath hum tere hi gun gaate hai

Tere naam se apna jeevan safal banate hai

SAI KATHA CONTINUED

RAREST AND OLDEST PHOTOGRAPH OF SAI BABA

Ho gayi zor shor se  shaadi sampan nirvighn

Chand patil phir aaye baba ko le jane apne sang

Baba ne tab yeh nyota na swikar kiya

Ye shirdi hi mrei karmbhoomi chand ko bata diya

Chand rokar bole koi bhool ho gayi jo humara saath na tumko bhaya

Dedo jo dand chaho mat karo yatim humko na cheeno apne prem ka saya

Sai ji bole nahi ab tushko or pareshan na mai karonga

Kar rahe hai log intazar mera yahin par mai aajeevan rahonga

Tu gabra na, mai tere sang bhi hu or yahan bhi

Mera na ant koi or na hai adi

Tu jab jab mushko yaad karega ,sang apne payega

Tu bhakt hai  mera sara jahan yeh gayega

Chand hat pakre baitha to sai ji bole

Achha baad me bulanga tushko ab tu barat ke sang hole

Tab se baba shirdi me hi ruk jate hai

He sainath hum tere hi gun gaate hai

Tere naam se apna jeevan safal banate hai

SAI KATHA CONTINUED

SAI BABA WAS WELCOMED HERE

MAHALSAPATI WELCOMING THE YOUNG FAKIR

Chand bhai baba ke pehle bhagat the

Dhoop gaav ke patil, unke bhagya bade hi sashakt the

Pehli baar usne hi sai ji ko ‘baba’ bulaya

Unko sang le jakar , apne mahatv ko badaya

Dhoop gaav me  Yelganga nadi ke kinare sai ji ne dera jamaya

  Kuchh kal  apne jeevan ka unhone yahi par bitaya                       

 Yahan ek neem vriksh ke neeche sai ji baitha karte the

Chand bhai ko namaz ka gyan dete the

Geeta or kurbani bhi yaad thi unko

Par apne gyan ka aadambar na pasand tha unko

Tab ek din dhoop gaav se shirdi ja rahi thi ek barat

Baba bhi pahuch gaye dobara shirdi barat hi ke saath

Dhanya dhanya yeh shirdi

Charon or jiski pheli hai prasidhi

Kya punya isne the seeche

Jo baba punh chale aaye yahan khiche

Barat ko khandoba mandir ke khule medan me taharaya

Shirdi vasiyo ne bade dhoom dham se unka swagat karaya

Jyo jyo eke k karke utarne laga tange se barati

Khara hokar abhinandan kar raha mahalsapati , mandir ka pujari

Jaise hi us mahalsapati ne dekhi fakir ki tejmay surti

Akasmat us ke kanth me viraj gaya sakshat sarasvati

Ya sai kehkar swagat kiya

Vo fakir tab se usi naam se jana gaya

Na chand patil ne na shirdi valo ne poocha us fakir se uska naam

Sai naam de diya usko samaya the jinme ram or rehman

Jab vo fakir jane laga khandoba mandir ki or

Vo rurivadi Brahman machane laga shor

Socha usne yeh to hai ek musalman

Bheetar jakar karega mere khandoba ke apman

Sai ji bole tab jab tune bhi ki hai ek vaishya se shaadi

Jat-pat ke niyam tore tune bhi to mere andar jane se tushe kya hani

Mahalsapati soche yeh raaz ise kaise pata chala

Ulsha in vicharo me tab chand bhi aage bada

Bola vo kyun bhala kar rahe inhe andar ane se mana

Yeh humare gaav ke bade uche auliya

Sabhi reet rivaz ko chunoti dekar sai ji mandir me pravesh kar jate hai

He sainath hum tere hi gun gaate hai

Tere naam se apna jeevan safal banate hai

SAI KATHA CONTINUED

SAI BABA'S MEETING WITH CHAND PATIL WHEN HE WAS SITTING UNDER A MANGO TREE

Lekin us param virakt ko na chahiye thi prasidhi

Leen rehta Samadhi me jaise kar raha kisi ki bhakti

Ek din is rang birangi duniya se uska man uchat gaya

Gaav chhod na jane vo kidhar ki odh chal para

Is samay vo kahan raha ,kaise karta  tha bhojan

Na gyan kisi ko, keval rishi muni hi jante yeh man hi man

 Agle darshan hua unke chand bhai ko

Khoi hui apni ghori ko dhoondh rahe the jo

Do mah hua ghori ko khoye,

Har jagah dhoondhe use,koi jangal,koi jharna na chhode

Par pata na chala khuchh ghori ka

Nirash vah laut chala apne gaav, ghori ki jeen ko kandho par latka

Achanak uski nazar ek fakir par padi

Ek pathar par baitha kar raha vo chilam pine ki taiyari

Fakir ne poocha yeh jeen hai kiski

Kyon chhai hai tere muh par yeh udasi

Chand bola kya sunao apna hal

Ghori ki virah me hu mai behal

Fakir bola zara nale ke paas dhoondh jaakar

Harshit ho gaya chand apni ghori ko vahan paakar

Vaapas aaya to dekha chilam ban ne me do chizo ki kami

Usko jalane ki khatir chahiye aag oe kapra bhigone ke lia paani bhi

Socha chand ne kaise karega yeh chilam ko taiyaar

Jab aage ke karishme dekhe to usme jaagi shraddha apar

Sai ne jo pathar par apna satka de mara

Pehle nikle angaare,phir doosri baar beh gayi jal ki dhara

Isi reet ko sai ne jeevan bhar nibhaya

Krodh dikhakar bhakto ke papo ko jalaya

Kabhi ban jaate vo mom se naram

Bhakto ke ghavo par lagate mamta bhare hatho se maram

Yeh  leela dekh fakir ki

Chand bhai ki aankhe naram hui

Samajh gaya vo ki yeh nahi koi sadharan vyakti

Pehne chola sadgi ka yeh koi divya shakti

Bola chand baba se tum sang mere chalo

Dekar sang mushko apna mushpar upkaar karo

Chand baba ko apne saath le jate hai

He sainath hum tere hi gun gaate hai

Tere naam se apna jeevan safal banate hai
