(1) The light You shine on us is divine
You make us see the truth
You make us feel your love in all of Your creation Sai
The light You shine on us is divine….Sai
(2) Your form and grace, gives me love and joy
To my form to my heart into my soul
The light You shine on us is divine…..Sai
(3) My dreams of You, are so beautiful
It’s like living in Prashanti with You
The light You shine on us is divine…Sai

I wrote the lyrics for the first verse of the song in English with no title and found a tune that I liked. Whenever I had some free time I would sit with the guitar and try to continue to write the rest of the lyrics. This went on for about 3 months without writing down a single word and this was frustrating me.

One morning before meditation I prayed to Swami and pleaded to Him to please help me to write the lyrics for the song. Immediately after meditation, I took the guitar, the book in which the first verse of the song was written and the pen and poured out my heart to Swami and pleaded to Him to give me the lyrics to the song.
What I remembered thereafter was this loving, amazing feeling that was flowing from my heart to my right hand that was holding the pen. I could see my hand and the pen moving and within three minutes it stopped, Swami had completed the song with 2 verses. This feeling of love that I felt was truly Divine.
The lesson that I have learnt from this experience is that before undertaking any tasks, challenges or duties, always pray to Swami for His help and guidance because He is the Doer.

I am very much fond of Sai bhajans and especially Devi bhajans and i wanted to offer my own composition on Sai Matha. My husband has sung this bhajan. It is His will that I could complete it and I am very happy that it will reach His Samadhi.

Tumho Mere Swas

Tumho Mere Swas
Tumho Mere Krishna
Tumho Mere Moksha
Tumho Mere Sai
Tumho Antharyami

The lyrics was witten by Mrs. Sujatha Venkatasubramaniam, my sister. From the lyrics you can understand the love and devotion for Swami. Simply that is the only inspiration.

Look into your heart, Tell me what you see
I see Swami looking back at me
I see Swami, I see Swami, I see Swami, looking back at me
Swami says, Take one step towards Me
And I will take a hundred steps towards you
Taking a step in Sai, I realize
I am Swami, I am Swami, I am Swami, Love eternally

We were inspired to compose this bhajan during a recent road trip to South Florida.
Recently we had an opportunity to attend a service project in West Palm Beach, near Miami. It is a 10 hour journey by road from Atlanta. So to make full use of our time, we had an idea that we should compose a bhajan! Realizing that all ideas ultimately come from Bhagawan, we prayed to Swami to inspire us and create through us. We said the following affirmation out loud 10 times to help us tune in to Swami and allow Him to compose through us: "I AM the Creativity of God in Action". We downloaded a Piano app on our smartphones and plugged in the guitar to the car's audio system to assist us with the composition. And within a matter of 3 hours the complete bhajan was created!

We are very grateful to Swami for this wonderful experience and to Radio Sai for the opportunity to share this composition.

My name is Ricardo Hambra, I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and been a USA resident since 2000.
I'm thrilled to share with you one of my bhajans called 'SATHYA SAI BABA SATHYA SAI BABA', that I've composed back in the '80s.
Even though it's written in spanish, I'd like to send it to you anyway because it has a wonderful 'Sai story', let me share it with you:
I was part of the Argentinean congregation and we were graciously invited by Swami Himself to sing in the Mandir; it all happened in a group interview and we were ecstatic!
So the night before I was very anxious because I wanted to sing this bhajan, but wasn't sure Swami would like it; I was hesitant. So I prayed to Him to please send me a 'clear' signal if it was a good idea to sing my bhajan, then I went to sleep.
The next day comes and in the afternoon we are called to go to the Veranda after Darshan, and then we enter the Mandir. At that time I've started learning Tabla set and bhajans with the late Sri Shyam Srivastava, commanded directly by Bhagawan Himself (that's another story I'll tell you in another time). So we were told to sit first line, at the very front of the Mandir, right where the clock is, and I was completely delighted and so in love with the scene. Suddenly Swamiji comes out of the interview room and started walking by the veranda greeting students and staff.
Then He gets into the Mandir and we were so happy! a few seconds later, Mother Sai approaches myself and stood right in front of me saying quote: 'Sing that bhajan SATHYA SAI BABA SATHYA SAI BABA, its lyrics has very deep meaning', with a huge smile and, of course I started crying profusely. Swami then allowed me to do Patnamaskar and then moved on to chat with Leonardo Gutter about the order of the bhajans, etc.
Soon after He left, we hastily prepared to start the bhajan session that was beautiful and in which Baba smiled a lot to our immense joy. By His Grace I could have the privilege to sing my bhajan in spanish, and also have my prayer answered in the most amazing way!

Shri Rama Sita Rama
Shri Rama Janaki Rama

I seek Swami's Divine blessings and here offer this bhajan. The inspiration being Lord Rama for me is a deity who bears a serious and very disciplined personality. And tune is set to Raag Jog as the mood of the Raag resembles Lord Rama's character.

Sai Dharshanam Sathya Sai Darshanam
Shanthi Dayakam Bhavya Bhaava kaarakam
Sai Chinthanam Sathya Sai Chinthanam
Dharma Bhodhakam Sarva Dharma Sthapakam
Sai Sparshanam Sathya Sai Sparshanam
Bhakthi Dayakam Nithya Mukthi Dayakam

The song I would like to submit is "Sai Darshanam". The songs were composed at Parthi during my service there between October 26 and November 5, 2003 at N5 Prasanthi Nilayam where I was posted for duty during the night. Instead of idling my time, I prayed to Swami and He inspired me to compose this bhajan.

The wonderful peaceful atmosphere at the Prasanthi Nilayam and the free educational institutions and the selfless service of the doctors and the nurses and staff of the Super Speciality Hospital inspired me to write this specific bhajan "Sai Darshanam". I was able to feel Swamy's omnipresence.

Hey Nanda Lala krishna, Yashoda Tanaya krishna
Gopala Bala krishna, Nava Néetha chora krishna
Brinda Vihari krishna, Radha vilola krishna
Jagadoddhara krishna, Jaya Sai Natha krishna

This my 2nd bhajan composition a month ago. Only Swamy blessed me to compose bhajans.

A spark came in my mind about a tune and lyrics came into my mind and immediately got a bhajan in 5 minutes. I recorded it by singing and saved lyrics. That trend is continuing till today through Swami's blessing I have composed upto 20 bhajans now. The one I am sending now is the 2nd bhajan composed on lord Sai krishna.

Jai Bolo Jai Bolo Sita Rama Jai Bolo
Jai Bolo Jai Bolo Radhe Shyama Jai Bolo
Jai Bolo Jai Bolo Sita Rama Jai Bolo
Parthi Pureesha Jai Bolo Shirdi Nivasa Jai Bolo
Sita Rama Jai Bolo Radhe Shyama Jai Bolo
Sai Rama Jai Bolo Sai Shyama Jai Bolo

The inspiration for this bhajan was to compose simple bhajan with a Nata Bhairavi Ragam so that I can teach small kids in a easy fashion.

Sai Deva Sri Sai Deva
Jays Guru Dattatreya Swaroopa
Abhaya Pradatha Ananda Roopa
Atmananda Pradayaka Deva
Kaliyuga Avathara Parama Purusha
Sachidananda Mama Guru Deva

The Sai Dakshinamurthy bhajan lyrics and tune came up for offering to Swamy during Swamy's Aradhana Mahotsavam celebrations in Kuwait in April 2014.

Swamy is extolled as Lord Dakshinamurthy who teaches in silence and our dear Swamy also spoke in silence and imparted greater lessons through silence. Swamy's every glance, gesture and move was a lesson to others.

Swamy's inspirations in the form of songs sung in my voice are offered back to Bhagawan with humility, reverence and gratitude and thanks for this wonderful opportunity given to share bhajans.

Our life... our breath... our heartbeat and our purpose is our precious lord, our Swami. And He is the inspiration behind our lyrics and melody. So the bhajans are on Him, for Him, by Him (since He prompted us to write and compose).

It was just a couple of days before this flowed, that I had listened to a Jaya Jaya Krishna Manamohana rendered very well. I was contemplating on the tune and felt that it was one of the best to convey the emotion of pure, child like Joy.

The movement of the swaras in this tune according to me, was a clear depiction of happiness. The more I thought of this, the more I was reminded of the beautiful feeling we experience during Darshans.

The Bhajan starts off describing this very form of Joy/ananda. Each line has a word that in some manner depicts the pleasant form of the Lord. The general emotion behind the whole bhajan is that of eternal gratitude.

This bhajan was composed by blessing of Swami on 28th of Sept. 2014 when I was sitting for evening prayer. Automatically lines of bhajan came off and myself was so amazed.

I taught this bhajan in my school on 29th Sept. 2014 and as I opened Radio Sai in the evening, I saw send your bhajan to H2h. Now I understood that this bhajan should reach at Parthi.

Composed of a mix of ragas including Kirwani, Pilu + Charukeshi. The Bhajan was composed to convey deep feelings of devotion and gratitude to Lord Rama. The Lord of Compassion has resided in Ayodhya, Prashanti and of course (most importantly) resides always within.

Once I went to a place in New Jersey, USA, where my memories with Swamy came to my mind. Swamy is like lord Rama who is embodiment of auspiciousness who takes away the difficulties, who take care of devotees and make them happy. Suddenly he gives the words(lyrics) and tune.

I have been blessed by Swami to be his Balvikas student since my childhood days, and Sai Bhajans are life time companion and great tool to cross the big ocean called life.

Parthi Mandir Bhajans always inspired me and i had aspirations and bench mark to sing bhajan in Parthi Style, which has resulted in composing 10+ Bhajans on different deities over last 10 years. I have kept those compositions to my heart and to my family. Couple of months back I have submitted the same in Swami's Sannidhi in writing at Puttaparthi and seeking His blessings to move this forward.

No wonder he has answered through you, Radio Sai Team, announcing this competition.

I was in Madras with my family for a vacation in May 2014, there was a Ganapathy temple called Kubera Ganapathy near to my sister in laws place in Nanganallur and I went for a morning Darshan. The Lord was so beautiful and after chanting Ganapathy Atharvasheersham, the first line/tune of this Bhajan struck me with His blessings, in that temple.

This is my first attempt to make a bhajan to glorify Swamy. I got inspired by seeing a program of Sai Sannidhi that was posted in your website.

In that program one Sai brother put it: Swamy gave us the inspiration to compose bhajans, we also took it as a opportunity and make Swamy happy. This word moved me a lot so I thought to compose bhajan for Swamy. Thank you one and all. May Swamy bless all your innovative ideas.

I got one morning going to work by foot. I had some troubles in my life, and thinking of them I saw the Sun rising; morning was early and the Sun was just coming out - and that was the trigger to compose (if I may say so) this song; words just came out together with melody. And that was it! Of course, I had to write down these words when I came to working place because I would definitely forget them.

I have been holding onto this bhajan for about 2-3 years since 3rd grade. I always wondered how Bhajans were composed and how it would feel to compose one on your own. So, I put together some words and the tune automatically came to me by the grace of Bhagavan.

I was lucky to be born & brought up in a Sai family. I am participating in Bhajans and service activities from my childhood days. There is a tradition of Devi Upaasan in our family. I felt a motherly love with Swami. Since I am a classical musician and Jog is one of my favourite Raagas, one day while travelling, this Bhajan naturally came out of me. I have sung this in my concerts also.

I am a musician and also a Bhajan singer. Swami's infinite love and mahima are inspiration for my compositions.

Earlier I used to compose small bhajans. But the moment I heard I was inspired to compose a beautiful bhajan for Swami. The lines came very spontaneously to me and I sang to my mother & she appreciated and encouraged me to send it to Radio Sai.

I actually wanted the word Poornavatar in any bhajan which I wanted to compose when I did, I automatically got the whole Bhajan. I am so happy to compose and offer my bhajan to Swami’s lotus feet.

I am Tanveer Mohan from Toronto, Canada. I am 14 years old.

My inspiration for this Bhajan was Swami coming in my dream and giving me some of the lyrics.

My husband and I were yearning for a child and we had lost one thru a miscarriage. This bhajan flowed thru' then and it almost seemed that He was going to come as our child (my husband had a dream about Swami coming as our child too).

After remaining on sidelines for five years, I started actively participating in all the activities of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Samiti, Chandigarh, since the Year 1977 (my birth year is 1947).

I started singing Sai Bhajans and reading Sai literature regularly; remaining thus submerged blissfully in Sai thoughts. In the year 1978, I had a ‘Sai Bhajan’ conducted at my house for the first time. A few days prior to this scheduled Bhajan, as I was enthusiastically making related preparations (picture framing, decoration, prasadam etc.), a sincere prayer emanated from the heart (prompted, of course, by Sai Maa); hence this Sai Bhajan.

By Swami's grace, from the moment I thought, I should compose bhajans for this event, now and then I have been getting various tunes in my mind for the past many days.
