Manasa Bhajare is not by Sai Baba. It is a traditional bhajan on Guru and Siva but Sai devotees have adapted it into a Sai bhajan.

He had also composed one on MounaswAmigal,who used to live in Ambattur, 'mAnasa bhAvaya',in the rAgam Andavalli(this rAgam is a creation of my guru Shri,P.K.R.)

sadguru svAmiki in reetigouLa Sri Tyagaraja composition

This composition is by Poochi Srinivasa Iyengar on Saint Tyagaraja.

Kritis like Maanasa guruguha roopam in Anandabhairavi , Gurumurte in ShankarabharaNam , etc can also be included as Guru Kirtanas ( as Muruga was MD's divine Guru ). Shankaracharyam also in ShankarabharaNam is a masterpiece of Guru dhyanam. Purandaradasa has quite a few compositions on Gurus. There are so many marathi Abhangs glorifying the Guru parampara and tradition - for ex. Sadguru vaanchuni daivata naahi, Teena shire saha haata, Deva puja maaji deva puja, Guru dhyaayii guru dhyaayii, etc and the other guru dhyana kritis and slokas which are very traditionally sung in the Bhajana Sampradaya.

Regarding Advaita, Tyagaraja's kriti Dvaitamu sukhama in Reetigoula is a masterpiece. The words dvaita and advaita find place in MD's Sri Rajagopala in Saveri, visishtaadvaita in the kriti Bhaktavatsalam.

All the guru kIrtanAs of Dikshitar like srI nAthAdi guru guhO jayati, mAnasa guruguha rUpam bhajarE, srI gurunA pAlitOsmi, etc., are on the guru though it is popularly believed that he composed the eight songs at Tiruttani. The other guru kritis are in sAmA, balahamsa, udayaravichandrika, bhAnumati and pUrvi. His other song on Dakshinamurti is srI dakShiNAmUrtim Isham in pheNadyuti.

I forgot to add Dikshitar's AnandEshwarEna samrakShitOham which is all about advaitic practice and its results. An incident about this song which perhaps many might know:

DKP sang it in a concert in the 1960s. The next day she went to Kanchipuram to have darshan of the Paramacharya. There also she sang this song in front of the Paramacharya. After blessing her, the Swami told her, "Pattammal, this song should be sung only in the presence of yatis or in temples in front of deities only, not in concerts." DKP passed on this advice to many musicians. This song was never heard on stage after that.

I heard that people like Sowmya have begun singing this song on stage.

Lord Dattatreya is one of the foremost gurus.

Mysore Ganesha Sacchidananda Swamiji has made a composition " Dattatreya Trimurty Rupa" which was tuned ( Ranjani) and popularised by KVN.
