Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

हरि ह्मणतां गति पातकें नासती । किळकाळ कांपती हरि ह्मणतां ॥1॥

हरि ह्मणतां भुिH हरि ह्मणतां मुिH । चुके यातायाती हरि ह्मणतां ॥ध्रु.॥

तुका ह्मणे भावें जपा हरिचें नाम । मग काळयम शरण तुह्मा ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

By saying Hari, sins are destroyed and liberation is attained. By saying Hari, even Death trembles. By saying Hari there is worldly well-being; by saying Hari there is liberation; by saying Hari the cycle of births and deaths is broken. Says Tuka, chant Hari's Name with devotion, and then even Yama and Death will bow down to you.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
