Sai Gita…A Song That Embraces Eternity…
Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013
The noble soul of Bhagawan’s long-time pet elephant Sai Gita chose to peacefully rest…merge…blissfully blend…into her Beloved Lord…on Tuesday, 22nd May 2007…at around 1800 hrs IST… Six years from that fateful day when we look back, what we understand is….The Gita of Sathya Sai lives on…Knowing no dusk…nor dawn…through the immortal song of Sai Gita… a poem from Sri Jullie Chaudhuri on the 6th anniversary of Sai Gita’s final passing on from the face of the Earth.
Their association initially,
Was that of a loving Mother,
And a child…
…who doted upon her idolizingly,
However,
Eventually…softly…gently…tenderly,
Ever so gradually,
It was redefined…
Chisselled and moulded to portray exemplarily -
An Omniscient…yet, indulgent Lord…
…and His most precious devotee…
Adapted and recompiled,
To exotically blossom,
A tale as enthralling as it was endearingly winsome,
A celestial song with harmonic rhythm,
Their life together a wondrous musical,
The love they shared a global marvel,
Revered and recalled by many as a Pristine Gospel…
Oh! Sai Gita,
What an eternal example you set for mankind,
You lived solely for Sai…
…and for Sathya Sai alone you pined…
Oh! Gita, what a distinctively exclusive role,
You did yourself consign,
So naturally did you surrender to the divine design,
When to the Lotus Feet forever…
…you did your essence align…
Nothing attracted you…apart from Sai,
No wonder you remain intrinsically…
…an essential part of Sathya Sai…
Oh! Gentle heart that you are,
Sai Gita…
Nothing distracted you away from Sai…
…hence for so many you remain a beacon that reflects…
…the way to Sai…
The Gita of Sai…that is what you are…
A lilting song…
…of magnificently transcendental adoration…
…akin to a polestar…
…that inspires beings through horizons afar…
Oh! Fascinating little Princess Sai Gita…
From the animal kingdom to the Creator,
A charming gift you were…
…you did them all proud,
A unique niche for yourself,
Unknowingly you did create,
Which,
Each member of the human race,
Needs posthaste to emulate…
Your innocent awe, devoutly stellar ardor…
…firm commitment…so pristinely pure,
Has won for you a cosmic accolade…
…your devotion none on earth can replicate…
This,
Sweet child of God…
…is the universal mandate…
Oh! Most angelic Sai Gita…
Your graceful gait did reflect your august poise,
Exuding the aesthetic quality of azure,
The Truth of Sai…
…somehow,
Instinctively known to you…
…was the cause of your secret pleasure…
You knew His Appearance to be…
…the Noble Advent of the Almighty Saviour…
Showering such lucid grace,
Your Sai did you constantly reassure,
In no way illusive to you…
…was His magnificent grandeur,
Perennially you remain in His Firmament,
A sparkling wonder…His most brilliant star…
Within His vast Celestial Garden,
Hitherto unsurpassable is your remarkable fragrance,
You bloom evermore as His most cherished flower…
Thus so,
The Gita of Sathya Sai lives on…
Knowing no dusk…nor dawn…
…through the immortal song of Sai Gita…
Loving Sathya Sai…
…and His beloved daughter – Sai Gita…
A tale of reciprocal love,
That does countless hearts endear…
…enveloping all with the Sacred Gita of Sai…
Sai, Whose each word is more hallowed,
Than any and every scripture…
…that holds heavenly allure…
Oh! Silent and Graceful Sai Gita,
Your fervor did exemplify dignity,
Adorning the resplendent pages of Sathya Sai history,
Along with you…your love for Sathya Sai,
Fluidly flows…
…as a flawlessly enchanting poetry…
…to be treasured through eons to come,
…as the most vital part of His Story…
Sai Gita…an entity that enraptures infinity…
Sai Gita…the Gita of Sai…
…is a song that ceaselessly embraces eternity…
