गाथा 1294The Power of the Name

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

बरवी नामावळी । तुझी महादोषां होळी ॥1॥

जालें आह्मांसी जीवन । धणीवरि हें सेवन ॥ध्रु.॥

सोपें आणि गोड । किती अमृता ही वाड ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे अच्युता । आमचा कल्पतरु दाता ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Beautiful is the garland of Your Name; it makes a bonfire of the greatest faults. It has become our very life and water, and we drink it to full satiation. It is simple and sweet, surpassing even amrita in its abundance. Says Tuka, O Achyuta, You are our wish-fulfilling tree, our giver.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.

नाम महिमा

The Power of the Name

The supremacy of nama-smarana: God's name as the highest practice.
