Sing in praise of Sai Krishna, who is as beautiful as the dark stormy sky. He plays the flute and resides in our hearts, stealing the butter of our ignorance. The benevolent bestower of peace, He invests divine energy in maintaining the garden of our heart. As our protector, He has lifted mountains for us and slayed demons (like Mura).
