Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
जळों अगी पडो खान । नारायण भोHा ॥1॥
ऐसी ज्याची वदे वाणी । नारायणीं ते पावे ॥ध्रु.॥
भोजनकाळीं करितां धंदा । ह्मणा गोविंदा पावलें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे न लगे मोल। देवा बोल आवडती ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Even if the food burns or falls into the fire, say 'Narayana is the enjoyer.' Whoever speaks thus reaches Narayana. At mealtimes, even amidst worldly work, say 'Govinda, we have received.' Says Tuka, it costs nothing at all, and God delights in such words.
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.
