Online you can watch this aarti video along with lyrics and meaning, on blogpost titled Aarti Sai Baba. Lyrics of this arati and it's meaning are also written at the end of Shri Sai SatCharitra published by Shri SaiBaba Sansthan Shirdi. On hearing it Sai Baba said, " Your this aarti will look after welfare of devotees."Īs we know there are many aartis of Sai Baba daily sung in Shirdi Samadhi Temple and temples of Shirdi Sai Baba around the world.Īarti Sai Baba composed by Madhavrao Aadkar, is the one, which is sung in afternoon aarti and evening aarti in Shirdi Samadhi temple. Madhavrao read the poem devoted to his Guru Shri Sai, in form of Aarti, which got composed, while he was in Shirdi in 1903-04 A.D. He always uttered "Allah Malik" ("God is King").Sai Baba said, "Aree Madhava (Madhavrao Aadkar), why are you trying to hide the paper? Read it aloud!" He also said, "Trust in me and your prayer shall be answered". One of his well known epigrams, "Sabka Malik Ek" ("One God governs all"), is associated with Hinduism, Islam and Sufism. Sai Baba's teaching combined elements of Hinduism and Islam: he gave the Hindu name Dwarakamayi to the mosque he lived in, practised Muslim rituals, taught using words and figures that drew from both traditions, and was buried in Shirdi. He gave no distinction based on religion or caste.

He taught a moral code of love, forgiveness, helping others, charity, contentment, inner peace, and devotion to God and guru. He had no love for perishable things and his sole concern was self-realization. Sai Baba remains a very popular Master, especially in India, and is worshiped by people around the world. Sai Baba stressed the importance of surrender to the guidance of the true Satguru or Murshid, who, having gone the path to divine consciousness himself, will lead the disciple through the jungle of spiritual training. This however was of no consequence to Sai Baba himself. He was revered by both his Hindu and Muslim devotees, and during, as well as after, his life it remained uncertain if he was a Hindu or a Muslim himself. Sai Baba of Shirdi (1838 – 15 October 1918 resided in Shirdi), also known as Shirdi Sai Baba, was an Indian spiritual master who was and is regarded by his devotees as a saint, fakir, and satguru, according to their individual proclivities and beliefs.
