Sairam friends,
Sivanesan Swami Samadhi is situated 2.5 Kms from the main Saibaba temple complex in Pimpalwadi road in Shirdi. On a beautiful February night in 2009, Kashyap and myself were sitting infront of Sivanesan Swamiji Samadhi. We were talking about our life and Sai Baba. He also told me about Sivanesan Swamiji.
He told me that Sivanesan Swamiji used to sing bhajans very charmingly in Chavadi and hence he was also known as Chavadi Baba. Until he had samadhi in 1996, he has dedicated his lifetime in serving Sai baba.
Kashyap told me this bhajan is favourite of Sivanesan Swamiji and sang it for me.
It was very cold in Shirdi. A cold night and only we both were sitting in a huge hall infront of Sivanesan swami Samadhi. He started singing and I felt blissful.
Once in a while, I used to hum this bhajan when I deeply wanted to praise Sai.
There’s a Saibaba temple near there place I work. Every week Thursday, my friends and myself are going for having annadhan there. I told them that I am going to sing Sai bhajan this week. They all said, ‘Please sing after we leave”. he he..
Listen to the song in Youtube – Haridwar Mathura Kashi Shirdi Me Tirath Sare hain.-Mohd Rafi
Kashyap sings this song with so much love on Sai that my heart melts listening to him. The meaning of the bhajan is all about surrendering totally to the guru. Even during Saibaba’s lifetime, he allowed devotees to go on a pilgrimage but he also made them realize all the qualities of a holy place can be experienced in Shirdi itself. Saibaba’s holy padhuka is so divine and sacred.
I like this sentence in the lyrics…
” Kaun bigaad sake uska jiske sai rakhwale hain”
Who can spoil the one who is being protected and taken care by Sai himself?
Last night, I lit lamp infront of Saibaba in my room and sung this bhajan until 12 at night.
So here it is for you..
Haridwar Mathura Kashi
Haridwar Mathura Kashi Shirdi mein teerath saare hain
Saibaba ke charnon mein chaaron dhaam hamare hain
Sab santon mein maha sant saari duniya se nyaare hain
Nar naari baalak boodhe sab hi ko Sai pyaare hain
Moorakh ho ya agyaani pandit ho chahe vidhwaan
Ek narzar se dekhe Sai sabko dete hain vardaan
Kaun bigaad sake uska jiske sai rakhwale hain
Saibaba ke charnon mein charon dhaam hamare hain
Haridwar Mathura Kashi Shirdi mein teerath saare hain
Saibaba ke charnon mein chaaron dhaam hamare hain
Maharashtra ki paavan bhoomi isko koti pranaam hai
Iski maati ke kan kan par likha tumhara naam hai
Tere mandir mein aaye tau duniya se kya kaam hai
Shirdi hamara brindavan Shirdi Gokul dhaam hai
Saai hamare Krishna Kanhaiiya Sai hamare Raam hain
Saibaba ke charnon mein charon dhaam hamare hain
Haridwar Mathura Kashi Shirdi mein teerath saare hain
Saibaba ke charnon mein chaaron dhaam hamare hain
One of my Sai friend Shyamya sent me this Saibaba photo with Lord Rama and Cute Hanumanji
