Hymn No.37
Marathi:
Sadguru Maulee Ase|Sadaiv Antaree Vase|Sadbodh Shikavunee Ase|Sarvans Pavan Ase||1||
The Sadguru is like a mother (Maulee), ever dwelling within the innermost core of the disciple’s heart.
He is not a distant or occasional presence—His being pervades the disciple’s awareness at all times.
He constantly imparts Sadbodh—true wisdom that leads one beyond illusion.
By His very presence and guidance, He sanctifies (Pavan) all who come into contact with Him, raising their consciousness toward purity and liberation.
Guru Sange sadhanasee|Shuddha kara Manasashi|Subuddhisi dei Aai| Udhareel Teech Mai||2||
When the disciple engages in sadhana (spiritual practice) in the company of the Guru—whether physically or through constant remembrance—the mind is purified (Shuddha kara Manasashi).
The Sadguru-Mother (Aai) grants Subuddhi—divine discrimination, the ability to distinguish between the real and the unreal.
It is this Mother alone who redeems the disciple, lifting them out of the ocean of worldliness and ignorance.
Nigamasee Ant Na Kale|Shisyasee Dhyanee Akale|Nishchay Deuni Bale|Nijpadee Thevee Abale||3||
Even the sacred Nigamas (Vedas and scriptures) cannot fully express the Guru’s essence.
The disciple, lost in meditation on the Guru, transcends all limitations of understanding.
The Sadguru gives the strength (Bale) of unshakable faith (Nishchay) and establishes even the weakest devotee (Abale) in His own supreme state (Nijpada).
Akhand Dhyan Dei|Santat Hrudayee Rahee|Amrut Pajee Aai| Bhaktansee sarvadayee||4|
The Guru bestows upon the disciple the gift of Akhand Dhyan—unceasing meditation.
He abides eternally in the devotee’s heart, never leaving their inner sight.
Like a mother nourishing her child, He gives the nectar (Amrut) of bliss and wisdom to His devotees, forever and without condition.
Nirmal anandee Dhyayee|Nityanand Mazee Aai|Niralambhee Sada rahee|Chidakashee Vyapt Pahee||5|
Nirmal Anandee contemplates on Guru, He is the eternal joy (Nityanand) that dwells within the devotee’s being.
Ever free (Niralambha) from any dependence, He remains established in the vast expanse of the Chidakasha—the infinite space of consciousness—pervading all.
My Sadguru, My Mother
1
My Sadguru is none other than my Divine Mother,
Who dwells within me — inseparable, eternal.
Just as a mother instils noble virtues in her child,
She is the essence of my being, the source of true wisdom,
Radiant and pure — a fountain of divinity for all.
2
The Guru declares: to walk the spiritual path,
First, cleanse the mind — make it a pure vessel.
Know this with certainty — it is She, my Mother Divine,
Who grants true wisdom and uplifts the soul
With her silent, steadfast grace.
3
Even the so-called learned fail to fathom
The vastness of boundless Consciousness.
But a true disciple, deep in meditation,
Can experience its luminous presence.
With firm resolve and one-pointed will,
One abides with ease in That alone.
4
Abiding in the devotee’s heart,
My Mother — the Sadguru —
Kindles the flame of unbroken meditation.
She nourishes seekers with nectar divine —
The Knowledge of the Self — sweet and liberating.
5
Says Nirmalanandee:
“I have known Sadguru Nityananda
As my very own Mother Divine.
She is eternally free — beyond all bonds,
And I behold Her
Permeating the Heart-Space as Pure Consciousness.”
Hymn No.38
Nityanand Amuchi Aai|Satvar too Yeiee|Bhet deta Amhalagee|Bahu Sukh Hoiee||1||
Bhagavan Nityananda, our eternal Mother (Amuchi Aai), we call upon You to come swiftly (Satvar).
The very sight (Bhet) of You fills our hearts with immeasurable joy (Bahu Sukh).
Your darshan is not merely an outer meeting—it is the soul’s reunion with its own source.
Dhavuniya Tva Yave|Vaksudha Pajave|Amhala Thevave|Charanapashee||2||
Come running to us (Dhavuniya Tva Yave) like a loving mother hastening to her children.
Nourish us with the nectar of Your words (Vaksudha), which is sweeter than any earthly sustenance.
Place us forever at Your Lotus Feet (Charanapashee), the seat of supreme protection and peace.
Tujvachuniya Amhee Bale Deen|Sarvadayee Heen|Prarthitaso||3||
Apart from You (Tujvachuniya), we are utterly powerless (Bale Deen) and helpless (Sarvadayee Heen).
We pray to You alone, for You are our sole refuge, our only source of strength and grace.
Nirmal Anandee|Nityanand dhyayee|Nishtha Vakyee Dharunee|Vilin Hoiee||4|
In pure bliss, Nirmal Anandee, I meditate on Nityananda’s form and essence.
Holding steadfast (Nishtha) to His words (Vakya), I merge (Vilin Hoiee) into Him—losing all sense of separateness.
O Mother Nityananda
1
O our Mother, Sadguru Nityananda,
Please come to us without delay!
The moment You grace us with Your presence,
Our hearts overflow with boundless joy.
2
Come swiftly and nourish us, O Divine One,
With the nectar of Your sweet and sacred words.
Hold us close to Your holy Feet,
And never let us drift away.
3
Without You, we are helpless,
Poor and lost — in every way diminished.
We are nothing without Your grace,
So we cry out, and call You with longing hearts!
4
Says Nirmalanandee:
“It is not enough to merely meditate on Nityananda —
One must hold unwavering faith in His every word.
Follow His teachings with steadfast devotion,
Until you merge completely in His Lotus Feet —
And realise: I am That.”
Hymn No.39
Sadguru Rakshak amha|Nivaree sarvahee Bhrama|Virakti Deuni Sada|Nivrutti karee Apada||1||
O Sadguru, You are our eternal protector (Rakshak amha).
You remove every illusion (Bhrama) that clouds our understanding.
By bestowing constant dispassion (Virakti), You free us from worldly entanglements.
You avert all calamities (Apada) in our spiritual journey, enabling us to progress on the path of Nivrutti—withdrawal from the transient towards the eternal.
Sarvatma Davee Hrudee|Swanand Thevee Padee|Shadvairee Chedi Adee|Sansrutee Par nadee|2||
You reveal within us the Sarvatma—the Self that is all-pervading.
You establish us in Swananda—the bliss that arises from the Self.
Cutting down the six inner enemies (Shad Vairi: lust, anger, greed, delusion, pride, envy), You help us cross beyond (Par nadee) the ocean of worldly existence (Sansruti).
Sadbudhee Dei Sada|Sadvastu Davee Tada|Satsang Ghadavee Sada| Sadbhakti Praptee tada||3||
You grant Sadbuddhi—the right understanding—always.
You give us Sadvastu—the supreme reality, the ultimate treasure of life.
You arrange for us Satsang—the company of the wise and the holy.
And in that Satsang, we attain Sadbhakti—true, unwavering devotion.
Nirmal Anandee sada|Nityanand Vakyee Muda|Nityatruptee Rahee Sada| Vilin Hoiee tada||4||
Nirmal Anandee rejoices in the words (Vakya) of Nityananda.
We remain forever content (Nityatruptee) in His grace.
Ultimately, we dissolve (Vilin) into Him completely—our individuality merging into the infinite.
Sadguru My Saviour.
1
Sadguru is our eternal Saviour —
The One who dispels all illusion and delusion.
Ever-present, He shields us from every calamity,
And lifts us beyond adversity.
Through His grace, we are freed
From the storms that hinder our spiritual path.
2
He reveals the Oneness of all beings —
That the Self in all is the Self within.
He bestows the state of true Bliss.
First, He vanquishes the six enemies within:
Lust, Greed, Anger, Pride, Attachment, and Envy —
These hurdles bar our ascent.
Then, like a compassionate ferryman,
He carries us across the river of worldly tendencies,
That sweeps us away from our divine goal.
3
When He imparts the right knowledge and the right attitude,
The right vision dawns — the vision of Consciousness Itself.
Only through His grace are we drawn
To the holy company of devoted souls —
Satsang — where true devotion takes root and flowers.
4
Says Nirmalanandee:
“It is only when we absorb Sadguru Nityananda’s words
With unwavering love and wholehearted devotion,
That the heart finds unending, eternal fulfilment.
This alone brings us to merge in His sacred Lotus Feet —
To become one with That — the Supreme Consciousness.”
