 Suprabhatham Idam Punyam Ye
Patanthi Dine Dine
Tey Vishanthi Param Dhaama
Jnaana Vijnaana Shobhithaah

Whoever daily recites this morning awakening Hymn will attain the Highest
Abode resplendent with the Supreme intelligence as well as Supreme
wisdom.

Mangalam Guru Devaaya

Mangalam Jnaana Dhaayine
Mangalam Parthi Vaasaaya
Mangalam Sathya Saayine

May the divine Guru be auspicious to us; May the Bestower of wisdom be
auspicious to us; May the Lord, Who manifested in Parthi be auspicious to
us; May Bhagawan Sathya Sai Baba be auspicious to us.

Inner Significance of Suprabhatam

In the dawn when we recite the Suprabhatam, we must realize that the Lord
is there within us. It is He who is to perform all actions through our Indriyas
(Senses). Our actions should be such , that they can be termed Divine. Each
time we perform an act or generate a thought, we should try to synchronize
with Sai’s action and thought. As each new day begins in the morning, we
should chant this Suprabhatam and remind ourselves of the existence of the
Lord within us.

Easwaramma Sutha refers to all of us. We are all children of Divinity. Our
body is Puttaparthi. The devotees eagerly waiting are the Indriyas (senses).
The fruits and the flowers and the offerings are our deeds. The women who
are pure as Sita or Sati are the feminine aspect of the power within each of
us, as Ichcha Shakti (Will Power), Kriya Shakti( energy for action), Vichaar
Shakti (thinking power), Vak Shakti (Power of speech), etcetera. Shakti
(energy or power) signifies the feminine aspect.

In this manner if we try to awaken the Lord within us, that is try to realize
His Presence, surely we will reach this Abode which is resplendent with
Gnyan (knowledge). Vignyan (Science), Sugnyan (Spiritual knowledge) and
we will be liberated.

I bow to Lord Sathya Sai Baba: Who is Divine Mother and Father

“If we wish to split a large rock, we may have to strike it with a hammer
twenty one times. The final blow that achieves success is dependent on the
twenty unsuccessful attempts. Although no progress may be perceived until
the final victory, all of our efforts to that point are essential. Remembrance
of Gods Names also may require repeated attempts, but progress is lost,
whether seen or not, all efforts contribute to success. Complete surrender
and faith in the Lord require constant effort. Results are not gained by
superficial practice. The effort must be persistent and it must reflect our
total devotion for achieving spiritual liberation. The Smarana ( repetition of
the Name) has to be constant. If you rub a bit of iron on a hard surface, it
develops heat. If you continue to rub it vigorously, it can be made red hot, if
you do so between long intervals, the iron will become cold and all the effort
up till then is a waste. The work has to be repeated over again.”

 BHAJA GOVINDAM

Bhaja Govindam is a popular 8th century devotional composition

in Sanskrit attributed to Adi Shankara. This work of Adi
Shankara underscores the view that devotion (Bhakti) to God, Govinda, is a
vastly important part of general spirituality, as emphasised by Bhakti Yoga.
In 31 verses he explains our fallacies, our wrong outlook for life, and dispels
our ignorance and delusions. Thus bhaja govindaM was originally known as
moha mudgAra, the remover of delusions

ignoramus,samprapte - (when) comes, sannihite - appointed, kaale - time, nahi -

and thereis hardly any time left for contemplation on god, as at no stage one
is lost inthe thoughts of parabrahman.
