SAI TRIPLETS AND SEPTETS<br />
In Svaami's words, Triples and Sevens, Thrayee Sapthamayee symbolize His embodiment Principle.<br />
Thrayees signifies the Vedhik essence of triple threes:<br />
1. Sath, Chith, Aanandha:<br />
Being, Awareness, Bliss<br />
2. Sathyam, Jnaanam, Anantham:<br />
Basic Truth, Experiential Knowledge of the Self, and Infinity<br />
3. Sathyam, Shivam, Sundharam:<br />
Truth, Goodness and Divine Beauty<br />
These are Baba's inner, inherent characteristics (Svaruupa Lakshana). The <strong>Sai</strong> Septets are Sathya <strong>Sai</strong><br />
Baba's outer or manifested aspects (Thatastha Lakshana). On the Shree <strong>Sai</strong> Chakra, nine-septets have<br />
been inscribed. These are:<br />
1. Seven-fold mission <strong>Sai</strong> Jana Parivarthana Sapthakam<br />
or purposes of <strong>Sai</strong> Avathaar or the transformational Septet<br />
2. Love of all faiths <strong>Sai</strong> Sarva Dharma Sapthakam<br />
3. Seven-fold steps to liberation. <strong>Sai</strong> Sopaana Sapthakam<br />
4. Seven-fold miracles of <strong>Sai</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> mahimaa Sapthakam<br />
5. <strong>Sai</strong>'s Deity Septet <strong>Sai</strong> Dhevathaa Sapthakam<br />
6. <strong>Sai</strong>'s seven-fold moral code <strong>Sai</strong> Neethi Sapthakam<br />
7. <strong>Sai</strong>'s seven- fold Self - awareness for liberation <strong>Sai</strong> Aathma Dharshana Sapthakam<br />
8. <strong>Sai</strong>'s seven - fold contemplations <strong>Sai</strong> Upaasana Sapthakam<br />
9. <strong>Sai</strong>'s human - value Septet <strong>Sai</strong> Siddhaantha Sapthakam<br />
Baba declares that all these powers are in fact latent in all of us. Also, He states that our own inherent<br />
nature is Sath-Chith-Aanandha: Being, Awareness, Bliss. However, in order to manifest these latent power<br />
and energies, it helps to undertake the recitation of <strong>Sai</strong> Gaayathree <strong>Manthra</strong>s, the contemplation of the<br />
Shree <strong>Sai</strong> <strong>Yanthra</strong> (or chakra) and the practice of the Shree <strong>Sai</strong> Thanthra. Such worship consists in the<br />
inner installation of Shree <strong>Sai</strong> Chakra followed by the practice of <strong>Sai</strong> Thanthra-system of seven-fold<br />
disciplines (<strong>Sai</strong> Kriyaa Yoga Sapthakam). It must be stated here that <strong>Sai</strong> is universal and so is His<br />
message. Therefore, any person without distinction can have equal access to <strong>Sai</strong> <strong>Manthra</strong>s, <strong>Sai</strong> <strong>Yanthra</strong><br />
and <strong>Sai</strong> Thanthra. As Bhagavaan Baba Says, we should accept one's own breath as the <strong>Manthra</strong>, one's<br />
heart as the <strong>Yanthra</strong> and one's body as the Thanthra. There is no need to seek them outside of one<br />
Self.<br />
SEVEN STEPS OF SAI THANTHRA<br />
Basically, SHREE SAI THANTHRA is the purification, transformation, dedication and sanctification<br />
of the body, senses, mind, intellect, heart, the ego complex and in fact our very Being. For this<br />
purpose, the <strong>Sai</strong>-three manthras (inscribed within the <strong>Yanthra</strong>) are combined with the Sanskrith verses<br />
