SUBMISSION and DEDICATION
Shree Sathya Sai is the most modern Avathaar. He is the most wondrous, splendorous Divine Personality.
He is the King of the Empire of the Universal Eternal Spirit. Sai validates all Scriptures and the world’s
scriptures - ancient as well as more recent ones, in turn validate him. He is the embodiment of Divine Love
Supreme. He is also the embodiment of Manthras, Yanthras and Thanthras - the triadic Spiritual
manifestations of the Eternal Sounds, holy geometric and hallowed Strategies for the Vision of the Divine.
The Avathaar in his own words, is characterized by Triplets and Septets, symbolically speaking, THRAYEE
SAPTHAMAYEE.
This book is titled SAITHREE: Manthra, Yanthra Thanthra or Sai's Eternal Wheel of Spirituality; it
contains an exposition of the Saithree Manthras, the Sai Yanthra or Chakra, and Sai Thanthra, along with
supportive articles relating to Bhagavaan Shree Sathya Sai Baba.
It is Bhagavaan Baba who blessed and bestowed the inspiration for Sathya Sai Eeshvara Gaayathree to
my revered father, Ghandikota Subrahmanya Shaasthri, a doyen of Vedhik learning, culture and practice.
Again, it is Bhagavaan Baba who enlightened me on the Holy Gaayathree Manthras and, in the process,
inspired me to express the SAI Suurya Gaayathree and the Sai Hiranyagarbha Gaayathree.
It is Bhagavaan who coined the expression Saithree, the composite term for the three Sai
Gaayathrees, which along with the Sai Yanthra or Chakra, form the core of this book.
It is to be noted that a more phonetic system of English spelling of Sanskrith words, as favoured by Baba,
has been used throughout the text.
This book is essentially based on the talks given by the undersigned in Thrayee Brindhaavan in the Divine
presence of Baba and in Prashaanthi Nilayam.
