Gangadhara Hara Gowri Manohara

Haalaahala Dhara Natana Manohara

Chinmaya (Vismaya) Roopa Sai Mahesha

We pray to Lord Shiva, the Lord of Kailasa, the magnificent haired Lord who has taken birth in Parthi as Lord Sathya Sai. He holds the holy Ganga in His hair, the beloved of Gowri. He is the one who drank the poison, haalaa-hala, to protect the worlds. He enchants our minds with His Cosmic Dance and Illusive Form. Glory to Lord Sai Shiva.
