Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
विठ्ठल विठ्ठल मंत्र सोपा । करी पापा निर्मूळ ॥1॥
भाग्यवंता छंद मनीं । कोडें कानीं ऐकती ॥ध्रु.॥
विठ्ठल हें दैवत भोळें। चाड काळें न धरावी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे भलते याती । विठ्ठल चित्तीं ते शुद्ध ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The mantra of Vitthal is simple and uproots all sin completely. The fortunate carry this passion in their mind; the blessed long to hear it with their ears. Vitthal is a generous, guileless deity; one should never hold back out of doubt. Says Tuka, whoever holds Vitthal in their chitta, regardless of caste, becomes pure.
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.
