Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
येणें बोधें आह्मी असों सर्वकाळ । करूनि निर्मळ हरिकथा ॥1॥
आह्मी भूमीवरी एक दइवांचे । निधान हें वाचे सांपडलें ॥ध्रु.॥
तरतील कुळें दोन्ही उभयतां । गातां आइकतां सुखरूप ॥2॥
न चळे हा मंत्र न ह्मणों यातीकुळ । न लगे काळ वेळ विचारावी ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे माझा विठ्ठल विसांवा । सांटवीन हांवा हृदयांत ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
With this understanding, let us abide at all times, keeping ourselves pure through Hari's kirtan. We are among the fortunate upon this earth; this treasure has been found upon our tongues. Both lineages are carried across, both the singer and the listener, for both are of the nature of bliss. This mantra never fails. It does not ask for caste or lineage, nor need one consider the proper time or season. Says Tuka, my Vitthala is my rest. I will store this eagerness within my heart.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
The Power of the Name
The supremacy of nama-smarana: God's name as the highest practice.
