Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
पडतां जड भारी । दासीं आठवावा हरी ॥1॥
मग तो होऊं नेदी सीण । आड घाली सुदर्शन ॥ध्रु.॥
नामाच्या चिंतनें । बारा वाटा पळती विघ्नें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे प्राण । करा देवासी अर्पण ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When the burden becomes heavy, servants should remember Hari. Then He will not let weariness prevail; He places the Sudarshana discus as a shield before them. By the contemplation of the Name, obstacles flee in twelve directions. Says Tuka, offer your very life to God.
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.
