The sixth step in the formal worship is offering of food, Naivedhya. The devotee while chanting the<br />

Saayeeshvara Gaayathree seven times, while placing fruits as offering on the altar of the <strong>Sai</strong> Chakra.<br />

Seventh: Total unitive transformation<br />

Live in constant integrated awareness of Supreme Reality culminating in a state of identity of the<br />

individualized Self with the Supreme Omniself. This is the essence of <strong>Sai</strong> Brahma Yoga.<br />

For achieving this integral state of Braahmik consciousness, the seeker constantly remembers and dwells<br />

on the five-lettered, non -dual holy formula of <strong>Sai</strong> Shivoham: "I am <strong>Sai</strong> Shiva". He attains Saayujya<br />

Kaivalya, the state of oneness with Divinity in transcendental Bliss. ( The inspiration for this non-dual<br />

formula came during Mahaa Shiva Raathri period in 1996).<br />

The seventh and last step of formal worship is Aarathi: the devotee, at the end of his contemplation for<br />

three minutes on the meaning of <strong>Sai</strong> Shivoham, waves (camphor) lights in a clockwise direction for three<br />

times pointing towards the altar of the <strong>Sai</strong> Chakra.<br />

To sum up, Shree SAI THANTHRA implies:<br />

1. The steady contemplation of the truths contained in the holy <strong>Sai</strong> Chakra, particularly the<br />

three <strong>Sai</strong> Gaayathrees, SAITHREE.<br />

2. The continued performance, with devotion, of one's own duties and obligations, while<br />

being engaged in loving Selfless Service to the needy; and<br />

3. Living a life filled with Love, Service and Bliss in constant integrated awareness of the all<br />

pervasive Supreme Reality.<br />
