Meaning:
O Lord Sri Sai, Thou art The Ever-Victorious Supreme Divine Master. Thou art Full of Mercy and Compassion. O Lord Shiva, Thy Forehead is Adorned with The Beautiful Crescent Moon and art Smeared with Vibhuti all over. Vibhuti or The Holy Ash is Symbolic of The Ultimate Reality, which remains, when the Gross of Ego is Burnt away, by the Fire of Divine Illumination. It is the symbol of Detachment. Thou art The Beloved Divine Cowherd Child of Gokul. O Lord of Lords, Thou art The Embodiment of The Primeval Sound ‘Om’. O Sai, Thou art The Bestower of Divine Knowledge.
