Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
करूं याची कथा नामाचा गजर । आह्मां संवसार काय करी ॥1॥
ह्मणवूं हरिचे दास लेऊं तीं भूषणें । कांपे तयाभेणें किळकाळ ॥ध्रु.॥
आशा भय लाज आड नये चिंता । ऐसी तया सत्ता समर्थाची ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे करूं ऐसियांचा संग । जेणें नव्हे भंग चिंतनाचा ॥3॥ ॥2॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Let us tell His story and raise the chant of the name; what can worldly life do to us then? Let us call ourselves servants of Hari and wear those ornaments; death itself will tremble before us. Neither desire, nor fear, nor shame, nor worry can stand in the way; such is the power of the Capable One. Says Tuka, let us keep the company of those in whose presence our devotion never breaks.
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.
