• Sai Gayathri
  Aum Saayeeshvaraaya Vidhmahe

  Sathya Devaaya Dheemahi

  Thannassarvah Prachodayaath

   

  I know through Gurus and Shastras (and by direct experience) that Sai is God Himself: He is Bhagavan and Iswara.
  I meditate on this form in my heart with all my mental faculties. He is the
  embodiment of truth, divinity, universal consciousness and one
  who pervades all the worlds.
  I pray to such a Sai to direct our intellects to engage in auspicious and righteous activities.
  I meditate on this great form.
