Vibhuti – Sacred Ash Prayer Paramam Pavithram Baba Vibhuthim Paramam Vichithram Leela Vibhuthim Paramartha Ishtartha Moksha Pradanam Baba Vibhuthim Idham Ashrayami (Sai) * The Vibhuti Mantra was originally sung as a bhajan (devotional song). The 3rd line was composed as ‘Paramartha Ishtartha Moksha Pradatham’. Please see video for details. Sacred, Holy and Supreme is Baba’s Vibhuthi Pouring forth in endless stream His play of Vibhuthi So auspicious is its might it grants Liberation Baba’s Vibhuthi its power protects me (Sai) Sacred Ash, Miraculous, Baba’s Creation Flowing From His Blessed Hand, Holy Creation Granting Us The Greatest Wealth, God’s Divine Protection Beloved Baba, Grant Us Liberation La Verdad Y El Amor Brotan De Tu Palma Como el Brillo Del SolIlumina El Alba Siempre Dando A La Vida, Nuevas Esperanzas Brindanos Tu Gracia, Dulce Sai Baba This prayer is usually repeated thrice, or until the entire congregation receives the sacred ash. Vibhuti, or Sacred Ash, is distributed at the end of a devotional meeting session. Baba says Vibhuti is a constant reminder of the evanescence of the body, and all material objects, which, ultimately, reduce to ashes. The scriptures say Vibhuti is so named as it endows one with prosperity; Bhasma – “ashes” because it burns away all sins; Bhasitam – “brightened” because it increases one’s spiritual splendor; Ksharam – “destruction” since it removes danger; and Raksha – “protector” for it is an armor against the machinations of evil spirits.
