Shirdi Sai baba Udhi Manthra

Shirdi Sai baba  Udhi Manthra

Translated by

P,R.Ramachander

It is well-known that Baba took Dakshina from all, and out of the amount thus collected, He spent a lot on charity and purchased fuel with the balance left with Him. This fuel He threw in the Dhuni - the sacred fire, which he kept ever burning. The ash from this fire was called Udi and it was freely distributed to the devotees at the time of their departure from Shirdi. Udi or ash is the purest substance on earth having tremendous powers of doing and undoing and is the result of sacrifices offered to fire (agni) which purifies everything by destroying whatever is evil. Performing 'Yagha' (Dhuni) is the most pious ritual recommended in the ancient Vedic literature.  This Manthra   is normally chanted   while wearing Udhi   from Shirdi.

Mahograha Peedham Mahotpaatha Peedham
Maharoga Peedham Mahateevra Peedham
Haratyaasutey Dwarakamayi Bhasma Namasthey 

I salute   the ashes of  Dwarakamayi  which  removes,

Greatly gruesome sufferings, great sufferings due to calamities,

Sufferings due to great diseases, Greatly  serious sufferings

Guru Sreshta Saieshwaraaya
Sreekaram Nityam Subhakaaram
Paramam Pavithram Mahapapaharam
Baba Vibhutim Dharayamyaham

I wear   the sacred ashes  of Baba  m

Who is a great Guru , Who is God saiu,

Which  brings auspiciousness, Which brings  good daily,

Which is  divinely pure  and which  destroys  great sins

Paramam Pavithram Baba Vibhutim
Paramam Vichithram Leela Vibhutim
Paramartha Ishtaartha Moksha Pradhaatim
Baba Vibhutim Idam asrayami Sai Vibhutim Idamasrayami

Baba’s   ashes   are  divinely  holy ,

The Ashes   of divine  sports  are Divinely wonderful

 And grants   divine  true salvation which is desirable 

I now depend on Baba’s ashes, I now depend on Sai’s ashes

Om Shri Satchidananda Sadguru Sainathaya Namaha

Om Salutations  to great Guru  Lord Sai   who is divinely joyous
