Sri Sai Saranam  Stotram

Prayer   of   refuge to   Sri Sai Baba
Translated   by
P.R.Ramachander

(Here is a very great and soulful prayer addressed to the Saibaba of Shirdi. IN essence it says   even for the worst possible human being who does  not have any refuge whatsoever , Sai Baba is the refuge.  This prayer was to me by  Sri.A.V.Sundaram, from a   book of Thursday prayers   at Shirdi. I felt at  great peace   after  translating  this great  prayer. I am thankful to Sri.A.V.Sundaram)

1.Sarva sadhanaheenasya, paradheenasya sarvadhaa,
Papapeenasya dheenasya, Sri Sai Saranam mama.

To me who is  not having anything, who is always being under control of others,
Who  is swollen with sins and who is helpless, Sri Sai  Baba is my  refuge.

2.Samasara sukha-samprapthi, sanmukhasya  viseshatha,
Bahirmukhasya jeevasya, Sri Sai  Saranam mama.

For getting  pleasure  in life, specially  with a happy face,
To an indifferent being  like me, Sri Sai Baba  is my  refuge.

  1. Sadaa vishayakamasya, dehaaramasya sarvadhaa,
    Dushta svabhava vamasya, Sri Sai Saranam mama.

Always interested  in worldly pleasures and always  doing nothing,
And   being bad  with wicked habits, Sri Sai Baba is my refuge.

4.Samsara sarpa drashtasya, Dharma brashtasya durmathe,
Loukeeka prapthi kashtasya, Sri Sai Saranam Mama.

Being a snake  bite to  domestic life, who has been banished  from religion, who is ignorant,
And who has difficulty in achieving worldly success, Sri Sai Baba is my refuge.

5.Vismrutham sweeya dharmasya, karma mohitha chethasa,
Svaroopa jnana soonyasya, Sri Sai Saranam Mama.

Being one  who has forgotten his own wife, one whose heart  is deceived by Karma,
Who is ignorant of the form of god, Sri Sai  Baba  is my refuge.

6.Vishaya krantha dehasya  vemukhatha samam they,
Indarayascha graheethasya, Sri Sai  Saranam mama,

Being one with body attached to pleasures, being equal to the mouth of a bird,
And one being  controlled  by sense  organs, Sri Sai Baba  is my refuge.

  1. Samsara sindhu magnasya, bagnam bhavasya dushkruthe,
    Dhurbhava  bhagna chithasya, Sri Sai Saranam mama,

Being drowned in ocean of domestic life, who is disappointed  and doing evil deeds,
Who has bad inclination and a broken heart , Sri Sai Baba is my refuge.

8.Viveka, Dhairya, Bhakthyadhi rahithasya nirantharam,
Virudha  karu naa sakathe, Sri Sai  Saranam  Mama.

Being one who is permanently devoid of  wisdom, courage and devotion,
And who cannot give up cowardly acts, Sri Sai  Baba  is my refuge.

9.Sarva sadhana soonyasya, sadhanam Sai yevathu,
Thasmad  sarvathmana nithyam, Sri  Sai Saranam mama.

When nothing is  there with us, Sai  becomes everything,
And so   all beings daily say,  Sri  Sai Baba is my refuge.

Thvameva matha  cha pitha  thvameva, thvameva bandhusha, sakha thvameva,
Thvameva vidhya, dravinam thvameva, thvameva sarvam mama Sai nadhaa.

You are my mother, you aremy father, you are  my relation, you are  my friend,
You are  my education, You are my wealth, and so Lord  Sai, you are my  refuge

Kayenavacha manasendrairvaa, budhyathmana vaa prakruthi svabhavath,
Karomi yadhyath sakalam parasmai, Narayanayethi  samarpayami

Whatever is being done by me, my body, words, mind, sense organs,  intellect and soul,
Or by  my natural inclinations, I surrender all  them  to Lord  Narayana.

Hari Om thath sath, Sri Sai paramathmane nama,
Hari and Om are the truth, salutations to the infinite soul Sai
