राम
गाथा 1553The Power of the Name

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

ज्यासी आवडी हरिनामांची । तो चि एक बहु शुचि ॥1॥

जपतो हरिनामें बीज । तो चि वर्णांमाजी द्विज ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे वर्णा धर्म । अवघें आहे सम ब्रह्म ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Whoever loves the name of Hari is truly the most pure among all. The one who chants Hari's name as a sacred seed is the true twice-born among all classes. Says Tuka, the dharma of all castes is one, for all is equal Brahman.

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.
