My mother gave me the body
Creating it out of her own
She taught me to walk
And infused the values of life in me
Making me stand on my own feet
Maa left for the heavenly abode
On the 6th day of January 2010
Entrusting me to the care of Sai Maa
Who took over complete charge of my life henceforth,
The pain of losing the physical mother subsided.
Sai Maa lifted me into her arms,
Kissed me, hugged me, and gave me a new confidence
To tread on the forthcoming path of search into the self.
The amount of love it bestowed on me
Can words ever describe?
My life was filled with new hopes and new joys
It attained a new meaning
Every single moment,
The ecstasy of the soul enveloped my being
Generating selfless, pure, unadulterated love.
And slowly but steadily, Sai Maa’s grace descended on me
Bestowing on me the priceless treasure of self-surrender
My whole being started to emit a fragrance
Which turned many a heart towards my Sai Maa.
Time kept on moving
Slowly and slowly
The chant of Sai’ Sai’ touched the skies
And now Lo! The whole world
Is filled with the echoes of my Sai Maa’s name
