Three Sai Mantras

On 24 December 1977, in Thrayee Brindaavan, the Sai (Eeshvara) Gaayathree was revealed by Swami to Ghandikota Subrahmanya Shaastri, doyen of Vedhik learning, culture, and practice.

Years later, on 22 September 1997 the Sai Suurya Gaayathree was revealed to Ghandikota V. Subba Rao, Ghandikota Subrahmanya Shaastri's son, when Sathya Sai Baba was riding the Golden Chariot.

On 15 February 1999 the Sai Hiranyagarbha Gaayathree was revealed to Ghandikota V. Subba Rao, during Mahaashivaraathree. The last line of the Sai Hiranyagarbha Gaayathree was actually first said by Sathya Sai Baba, as Subba Rao was struggling to complete the Gaayathree.

It was Sathya Sai Baba Himself who coined the term "Saithree" for these three Sai Gaayathrees. The three Sai Gaayathrees, with translations, are presented below.

Sai (Eeshvara) Gaayathree	Om. Saayeeshvaraaya vidhmahe Sathya-dhevaaya dheemahi Thannah-Sarvah prachodayaath	Om. We know this Sai as supreme divinity incarnate. We meditate on this God of Truth. May this Almighty All-in-all Personality lead us on the path of total liberation.
Sai Suurya Gaayathree	Om. Shree Bhaaskaraaya vidhmahe Saayi-dheyvaaya dheemahi Thannah-Suurya prachodayaath	Om. We know this Self-shining Entity. We meditate on this divinity as Sai Suurya. May this divine Light enlighten us on the path of liberation.
Sai Hiranyagarbha Gaayathree	Om. Premaathmanaaya vidhmahe Hiranyagarbhaaya dheemahi Thannah-Sathyah prachodayaath	Om. We know this embodiment of divine Love, Sathya Sai. We meditate on this Golden-wombed divine personality. May the Truth Incarnate, Shree Sathya Sai, inspire us on the path of liberation.
