Origin & Story

Shri Sai Satcharitra tradition · Shri Madhavrao Vamanrao Adkar · Early 20th century

Shirdi Sai Baba (c. 1838–1918) was a revered Indian saint who lived in the village of Shirdi in Maharashtra. He taught that all religions lead to the same God, with his famous sayings 'Sabka Malik Ek' (Everyone's Master is One) and 'Shraddha aur Saburi' (Faith and Patience). This aarti was composed by his devotees during his lifetime and became the central prayer of the Sai tradition. It is sung daily at the Shirdi Sai Baba temple and millions of Sai temples worldwide.

✦ As told in scripture

Shirdi Sai Baba performed countless miracles during his lifetime. Once, when there was no oil available for the temple lamps, he filled them with water and they burned brightly all night. He cured the sick, appeared in dreams to guide devotees, and was known to be present simultaneously at multiple locations. Devotees worldwide continue to report miraculous experiences through sincere recitation of this aarti — from healings to resolution of impossible situations.
