Stotra Path (स्तोत्र पाठ)

॥ श्री साईं बाबा शेज आरती ॥

॥ रात्रिकालीन शयन आरती ॥

ओवाळू आरती माझ्या सद्‍गुरुनाथा, माझ्या साईनाथा।

पांचाही तत्त्वांचा दीप लावूनी उजळले,

आत्मज्ञानें ज्योत, पाजळत राहे उज्ज्वला।

लावीला दीप, घृतसंपन्नाचा तो॥

उजळले माझे हृदय, तव कृपेचा प्रकाश।

सद्‌गुरू साईनाथ, ओवाळू आरती तुझी दीनदयाळा॥ १॥

भक्ताँच्या हृदयीं, बसवलें तव रूप।

साई माउली, कृपेच्या सागरा, आम्ही शरण तुला।

राखी शरणागत, दीन दुबळ्याँना,

तूच आमचा माता, तूच आमचा पिता॥

तूच आमचा गुरु, तूच आमचा देव।

साई साई, शयन करी, आम्हाँ कृपादृष्टी पाही॥ २॥

श्रीसच्चिदानन्द सद्‍गुरू साईनाथ महाराज की जय।

रात्रीं शेजारती करूनी, बाबाँना शयन करवितो।

साईनाथ, तव शयन सुखद होवो,

भक्तजन आम्ही, सदा तुझ्या चरणीं॥

पहाट होईल, पुन्हा जागवू तुला।

तोवरी सुखशयन, करी माउली गुरू साईनाथा।

तूच आमचा त्राता, तूच आमचा दाता,

सदा तुझ्या चरणीं, राहो माझा चित्ता॥ ३॥

ॐ राजाधिराज योगिराज परब्रह्म,
