Leonine

I see a lion every day in life
I see a hero who has battled every strife

My oldest memory of you is of bravery
And of fighting insurmountable odds and coming on top

Problems spiritual, material or physical
You have looked them in the eye and battled on

You have become a favourite in Sainath's court
You are out to unearth the secret of adi Guru

The various forms of Lord Sripada are recognised and worshipped by you
You have devoutly worshipped the Lord with the nine forms of consecrated food

When the chips are down,you have stood like a rock
Filling yourself and others with immense positivity

Sharath, the servant of Sai says you are a great gift of the Sadguru
You have inspired many to tackle life head on

Pure science taught by you but is a part of life giving education
That you provide to everyone irrespective of their age,race and color

You stand with fierce awesome energy like Dronacharya of yore
This is a humble attempt to describe my love for you

- Happy birthday Dad
