Our dear Swami left his mortal frame
And we feel that life may not continue the same
However Swami has built a temple in our hearts
And it is up to us to keep him alive and do our part
Prashanthi Nilayam was his humble abode
Now he treads among the heavenly roads
Summers in Whitefield was often his plan
And we would go running with pillows in hand
Sathnarayana Raju was his name
Born to Easwaramba and Ramakrishna is how he came
We will celebrate Nov 23 as the day of his birth
But everyday should be special on this Earth
He preached “help ever hurt never” and “love all serve all”
Now we must practice his teachings and embrace his call
He showed us the path to truth, love, righteousness and peace
Prema, Sathya, Dharma, Ahimsa, Om Shanthi Shanthi, Shanthi, Hee
“Love is my form truth is my breath” are the words he so eloquently said
My life is my message is how he led
His Darshan and bhajans we will miss
But service to mankind is what will truly give us bliss
The Nine code of conduct we must continue to follow
And putting a ceiling on desires since we know it will not fill a space that’s hollow
So continue on your spiritual trek believing “Hands that Help are Holier than Lips that Pray”
And know Swami is watching every move each and every day
Vibuthi he made and it was a miracle to see
Watches, diamonds, bracelets would come from the hand of Thee
Material objects are not what we need to remember our Sai’s sight
Just meditating on his presence should bring his presence to light
He will continue to shower us with his blessings in this life
We must keep our eyes wide and our hearts open, embracing the strife
Good or bad we must have equanimity of mind
But most importantly of all we must be kind
From the water project, to his free hospitals, and feeding the poor
Our Bhagavan came from near and far to cure
His students will miss him dearly
But our journey to spirituality must continue to progress yearly
He comes in our dreams and resides in our homes
We must find him within us as he is now free to roam
He said he is God because he has realized it, and he is waiting for us to do the same
Fellow devotees, we know how Baba works his game
Swami fulfilled his mission and now has a role for all of us to play
So spread love and compassion starting today
Arise, awake and find out the reason for your birth
As now it’s time to realize your purpose on Earth
