Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
सोसें सोसें मारूं हाका । होइल चुका ह्मणऊनि॥1॥
मागें पुढें क्षणभरी । नव्हे दुरी अंतर ॥ध्रु.॥
नाम मुखीं बैसला चाळा। वेळोवेळां पडताळीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे सुखी केलें । या विठ्ठलें बहुतांसी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Again and again I call out, fearing I might miss the moment. The distance between before and after is not even a breath. The habit of the name has settled upon my lips; at every turn I verify it is still there. Says Tuka, Vitthal has made multitudes happy in this way.
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.
