By
Upasini Baba Maharaj
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Upasani Baba is a great disciple of Shirdi Sai Baba and belonged
to a village called Sakori which is 5 km from Shirdi, I could not get the
Stotra in DEvanagari script and
my translation is based on my inderstanding of the stotra which is given in the forum.spiritualindia
web site. I was not able to make out the thitd line of verse 12 and depended on
the meaning given in the above web site.
You can hear the great prayer sung by Kavalam
