Sri Sai Sahasranama Bhashya

174) OM SRI SAI ISHTAPOORTHA SHATAIRLABHDHAAYA NAMAH

[Meaning: - Salutations to Lord Sai Maharaj in whom faith is rooted only as a result of performing hundreds of good deeds]

It is said in our scriptures that, one can easily obtain the “God’s Grace” but to obtain a “Guru” or “Guru’s Grace”, we require“God’s Grace”. Wonderful and meaningful is this dictum from our scriptures! To obtain Guru’s grace (as said by Lord Siva toMother Parvati), one has to incessantly practice the austerity of speaking truth, never drift away from the path ofrighteousness, never comment or criticize other or hurt the feeling of others (knowingly or unknowingly), always abstain fromthose or the company of people who drag one away from the path of righteousness, never put up an external show of beingspiritual or behave as a God fearing one but internally craving for fame and name, shun one’s ego and pride at the Lord’s Feetand earnestly pray for the grace of Guru . If one follows these basic tenets of dharma (Sishya dharma), he would certainly bepurified externally and internally (baahyaantarah shuchi) and start walking steadily in the path perfect.

Lord Siva further stresses on the point that if one follows all these basics principles assiduously, the Lord’s Grace Dawns onone such. The moment, one gets the Lord’s blessings, he immediately becomes the recipient of the infallible, immeasurable,endless grace of the “SUPREME POWER- GURU SAMARTHA”.

The author of the Sai Sahasranama has very beautifully explained in this naamavali- “Ishtapurtha shatairlabdah”- whose gracegets firmed rooted in us because of our (i.e. devotee’s) hundreds of good deeds. Here, he carefully hints that good deedsdoesn’t just mean alms or charity or doing an external worship in a grand manner but carefully follow the path of Sanmarga bycontinuously (i.e. here in this verse, the continuity is equated with hundred and not to be considered a mere number but acontinuous process) practicing the Sishya Dharma.

Let us all take the pride of calling ourselves “Sai Devotees” by practicing the “True Sishya Dharma”

to be continued....
