I e-mailed the person who sent it to me and there seems to be no English translation close at hand. In the mean time, I found (via internet search) another Sai Baba --this one Sai Baba of Shirdi spiritual master who helped those less fortunate. The SAi Baba I had been thinking of was Sathya Sai Baba . I too would like to understand the meaning and will share as I find out ( if i do find it) Perhaps the meaning will be at hand in experiences.

In the meantime, this poem, Om Sai Nameh made its appearance on one of the sites:

Om Sai Nameh

I asked for strength
And Sai gave me difficulties to make me Strong.

I Prayed for Wisdom
And Sai gave me problems to learn to solve!

I asked for Prosperity
And Sai gave me brains and strength to work!

I prayed for Courage
And Sai gave me daughters to overcome!

I asked for Love
And Sai gave me troubled people to help!

I prayed for favours
And Sai gave me opportunities!

I asked for Humility
And Sai gave me experience not to be proud!

I asked for Sai to grant me Patience And Sai said "No"-Patience is a By product of Tribulation.
It isn't granted.It is earned.

I asked Sai to spare me Pain
And Sai said "No"- He said "Pain lets you experience the sufferings of the others and
increases your fighting spirit."

I asked Sai to spare me suffering
No He Said, suffering draws you apart from worldly care,
it gives you strength to fight, it gives you a feeling of love, togethernes, humanity and
brings you closer to ME!"

I received nothing I wanted
I received everything I needed

My prayer has been answered.

Thank you, for the lovely words of wisdom.

I asked for the translation because I am not comfortable repeating a prayer or poem I do not know the words to.

It took some time for you to do the research & I thank you, Earthmist.

The poem is a gentle reminder of the great blessings of our lives that may come disguised as tragedies.

We think we understand...but it takes living through a situation to really appreciate what others are going through.

Namaste!

peace,love & joy,

You're welcome, Thank you also. In response ,the prayer is a reverent salutation to Sai Baba. The meaning that has been shared is: OM is the sound of the Universe. At Prashanti Nilayam, in the morning, they chant OM twenty one times before meditating for fifteen minutes in the temple. Naham means Salutation. OM Namah Shirdi Sai Baba means Salutations to Shirdi Sai Baba, and the OM is the sound of Reverence. Shanti means peace, divine peace. What I also read is that Shirdi Sai Baba was the previous incarnation of Sai Baba and there will be a future incarnation of Sai Baba, called by Prema Sai Baba. More
