Invocation:

 

1.         O, Mind!  Be devoted to Narayana. ..O Mind! be devoted

2.         For overcoming all obstacles, let one

meditate on the white robed, all pervading four-armed one, moonlike in color

and of gracious mien.

 

3.         I bow to Lord Sai, that dweller in

Shirdi, whose mercy cures dumbness and revivesthe dead.

 

4.         I bow to the best of Sants, Sai, who

is(but) the Ancient Narayana Deva who has visited the Earth to bless(His)

devotees.

 

5.         Again and again do I prostrate before

Lord Sai, who is God(Brahman) taking up 

form and attributes and going down to dwell  on the banks 

of the Godavari to protect(His) devotees.

 

6.         prostrate  myself unto Lord Sai on whose head, the

Ganges was conquered, from whose feet, the Ganges flowed and who lives on the

bank of the Ganges(Godavari).

 

7.         Prostrations to Thee, O Sainatha whosel

nature is Triune, being Brahma,(the Creator) at the beginning, Vishnu(the

Sustainer) thereafter and finally Mahadeva or Shiva(the withdrawer)

 

8.         I bow to Sai, who is Sesha-Sayee(i.e

God recumbent on the Serpent) by remembering whom one is released from the

bondage of  births and Samsara.

 

9.         I bow to Sai, the Imperishable by

remembering whom and repeating whose names, one's efforts at

Austerities(Tapas), Alms(Dana) and other observances(Kriya) , are successful.
