नाम घेतां वांयां गेलां । ऐसा कोणें आइऩिकला ॥1॥
सांगा विनवितों तुह्मांसी । संत महंत सिद्ध ॠषी ॥ध्रु.॥
नामें तरला नाहीं कोण । ऐसा द्यावा निवडून ॥2॥
सलगीच्या उत्तरा । तुका ह्मणे क्षमा करा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Has anyone ever heard of the Name being taken in vain? I ask you humbly, O saints, sages, and perfected ones. Show me a single person who was not saved by the Name. Says Tuka, forgive these frank words spoken out of familiarity.
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.
