Like Shiva Mahima Stotra, this stotra ia also an effective way of getting Sai Babas favour. This is reiterated by Shri Upsani Mharaj in Shloka at end of the Stotra.
1) I
Bow to Sadguru Sainath, the God incarnate, who is always in His true from that
is the Reality, who is the source of
knowledge and joy, who is the cause of existence, continuance
and destruction of the world and who for the sake of His
devotees' wishes has manifested Himself as a human being.
2) I
bow to Sadguru Shri Sainath, the God incarnate, who is the Sun, destroying
the darkness of this world, who is
praiseworthy, who is beyond mind and speech, who is comprehensible to sages through meditation' who pervades the
world who is free from impurities and who is without any qualities.
3) I
bow to Sadguru Shri Saimth, the God incarnate, who has manifested Himself in
this Kali Yuga for the complete resurrection of those who have become
distressed having sunk in the ocean of this
worldly life and who (now) have
taken shelter under His feet and are fond of His devotion.
4) I
bow to Sadguru Shri Sainath, the God incarnate, who having always lived under
the Neem (margosa) tree, has caused it, although bitter and disagreeable, to
exude nectar (the beverage of Gods) and thus made it superior to the Kalpa
Vriksha (the Tree of Desire in the Heaven).
5) I
bow to Sadguru Shri Sainith, the God incarnate, who under that Kalpa Vriksha (the Tree of desire mentioned in shloka
4 above i. e. the Neem tree) perpetually bestows enjoyments and liberation
to those individuals who serve
Him with devotion and intellect.
6) I
bow to Sadguru Sainath, the God incarnate, who having performed many unheard of
and unthought of miracles, displays bright splendour of Lord Shiva and who is
without vanity and who has pleasing
temperament.
7) I
bow to Sadguru Sainath the God incarnate who is like a beautiful garden
for relaxation of the sages who is
praised constantly by the virtues and prosperity to the devotees.
8) I
bow to Sadguru Sainath, the God incarnate, who is without birth, who is the foremost and the unique
who is the Supreme Spirit incarnate who
has sprung up on His own and who is
Rama Himself descended (on the earth). Oh Lord Sainathl I am really
purified by Your sight.
(9) Oh!
The ocean of compassion Shri Sainathl
Fulfill all desires of all
devotees. The Brahma (the creator),
also is unable to describe the matchless power of the dust of Your Lotus feet.
Oh Mighty one! I have come to You, surrendering with folded hands and great devotion. Apart
from the lotus feet of Shri
Sainath, the God of Gods. I have no other refuge (place of surrender),
10) To
purify my mind polluted by Unreality [Maya]
I joyfully meditate day and
night upon Sri Rama, the
best amongst the Raghu dynasty and who
has taken the form of Sri Sainath and
who is the Almighty and the Tree of desire [of heaven] fulfilling the wishes of
the devotees.
11) Oh
Shri Sainath! May Your umbrella of compassion shining like the autumn moon,
remove with its shadow the heat [affliction] of those surrendered at Your lotus
feet
12) Oh
Shri Sainath! Diety of my
worship! I, Upasani worship You with hymns of praises. Let my mind rejoice at Your feet as the
black bee desirous of the juice rejoices at the lotus flower.
13) Oh
Lord and Preceptor Shri Sainath ! [Let] my sins of many births be destroyed at
the sight of your lotus feet. Forgive all accumulations of [my] sins. Oh Ocean
of Compassion! Be kindly disposed to me.
14)
Those whose minds are purified by the water with which Shri Sainath's feet have
been washed and who are always engrossed with devotion in the service of His feet [though] sunk in the flood of sins
produced out of worldly life, acquire the final emancipation.
15) Any
person who always recites this
Hymn of praise with attention and devotion, will certainly
become the object of Shri Sainath's favour.
