Shri Sai Baba Archana (108 Names)

21. Aum Anna Vasthradhaya Namah!
Prostrations to Him, Who is the Provider of Food & Cloths to all.
SAI used to say 'How can I allow My children to fast or starve'. He always said one sinke not worry & waste their life about food & clothing & should repose faith in the Lord's Providence.
SAI contrived to provide cloth to poor maid servant of Kaka Dixit. He made Anandarao Pakhade to gift New Dhoti with silk border to Shama. 

22. Aum Arogya Kshemadaaya Namah!
Prostrations to Him, Who is the bestower of health & welfare of all.
'Arogya' is freedom from diseases & 'Kshema' is all round welfare, peace & plenty. Sai's power to provide these two essential things in human life find abundant mention in Sri Sai Satcharitra & other biographical accounts of Sainath. Besides His divine glances, touch & spoken word, His UDI also acted as panacea for all posts of incurable ailments.
Chanting This Nama 108 times 
every day removes ill health.

Nama 23.
Dixit was after Sai's Mahasamadhi in debt to the tune of 25000 to a Marwadi, & was spending sleepless nights with great anxiety. He prayed Sai & surprisingly son of his deceased freind came next day to seek his advice as how to invest 25000 he has. When Dixit told about the debt the boy gladly offered the amount to be paid later. Baba used to collect hundreds of rupees towards Dakshina & distributed mong the poor & needy before nightfall.
Annotation to Name 24:
Riddhi is materiial prosperity & siddhi is spiritual perfection.
24. Aum Riddhi Siddhi Pradaaya Namah.
Prosrations to Him, Who is the bestower of material prosperity & spiritual perfection.

25. Aum Putra Mitra Kalatra Bandhudaaya Namah!
Prostrations to Him, who is the bestower to grant Children, Friends, Spouse & Kins.
Chapters 6, 14 & 25 of Shri Sai Satcharita narrates instances where children were born to childless couples. Ratanji Wadia, HV Sathe, Sapatnekar, Smt. Aurangabadkar, Mrs Chotubai Pradhan, SB Nachne, GN Shinde, Narayanarao Angre & many others blessed by Sai with Children.
Many instances of unwed men & women obtaining suitable spouses thru' His blessings were on record.
Similarly removing differences between friends, families & couples are reported in many of His 
biographical literature.
26. Aum Yogakshema Vahaaya Namah!
Prostrations to Him, Who is the bestower of Safely & Well-being of His devotees.
It is Sai's nature to protect all who seeks His refuge. He considers & loves all beings as His integral part. Due to this oneness He always reaches to help His devotees brushing aside all their faults. As a child is always dear to his mother, all the beings are dear to SAI.


27. Aum Aapadbaandhavaaya Namh! 
Prostrations to Him, Who is the friendly protector of His devotees from danger & distress.
SAI defered explication of this nama today, perhaps, Sai wanted to prove us that Sai & Ganesha, the eradicator of dangers & distress are one & the same.
Once Shama got the news that wife of his younger brother, who stays in nearby Savil Vihir & sought Sai's permission to go there. Bab told him to send Udi & postpone the visit to next morning. Next morning when he reached his brother's house, he was spellbound to see his brother's wife completely cured. Happily returned Shama asked Baba, 'What is this Leela? 1st you create a panic in our lives, then yourself solve the problem.' Sai laughed & said, 'Only God is Supreme. Strange are His ways. I am neither God nor Supreme. I am His Faithful Servnt'. Sai not only saves His devotees from distress, but also gives them courage to face difficulties of life with hope & aspirations.
In Chapter 6, Satcharita He voluntarily treated sick, saved blacksmith's baby & Ch 22 He forewarns about snakes.
28. Aum Maargabaandhave Namah!
Prostrations to Him, Who is the Friend & Guide of His devotees in their quest to God-realization.
Like a friend, Sai is always present to lead His devotees on the path of virtue, guiding them to attain eternal bliss & self realization. God is Everything. A devotee can think Sai as a Father, Mother, Brother or a Friend. As a true friend Sai always helps His devotees in distress. Like a guide He takes them thru' the right path to the final destination. Mother is a childhood friend & father is a friend in youth.
Literally Sai was the companion of His devotees when they are on crossroads.
Mhalsapati, Chandrorkar, Kaka Dixit etc were led by Sai step by step spiritually.
Chanting This Nama 108 times a day for 108 days every morning would surely show the correct path to those who are in distress.
29. Aum Bhukti-mukti Swargaapavarga Daaya Namah!
Prostrations to Him, Who bestows happiness both temporal & spiritual, heavenly bliss & liberation.
Bhukti means enjoyment of worldly pleasures, Mukti means liberation from the cycle of birth & death, Swarga means the heavenly bliss & Apavarga means the four objects of Dharma, Artha, Kaama & Moksha, the attainment of which are the goals of every human being.
SAI promoted the temporal as well as the spiritual welfare of all beings who took refuge @ His Lotus Feet. Though many prayed Sai for wealth, prosperity, children, cure from diseases, there were few like Mhalsa, Kaka Dixit, Swamy Sai Saranand, BV Narasimha Swamy longed for Sai 's Grace only.


30. Aum Priyaaya Namah!
Prostrations to Him, Who is extremely dear to us.
Sai, is an embodiment of Pure Love - the love that charge the heart & soul of His devotees, who consider Him as their beloved. He is their beloved father, mother, kin, Sadguru & God. He signified the esoteric love that permeates all their hearts. As Sadguru, His relation with His devotees is based on the unflinching foundation of intense love, the bond of mutual love that subsists between the Guru (Preceptor) & his Sishya (Disciple).
