Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
बरवें ऐसें आलें मना । नारायणा या काळें ॥1॥
देव आह्मा प्राणसखा । जालें दुःखा खंडण ॥ध्रु. ॥
जन्मांतरिंच्या पुण्यरासी । होत्या त्यांसी फळ आलें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे निजठेवा । होइऩल हेवा लाधलों ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How beautiful that this has entered my chitta, O Narayana, at this very time. God has become my soul's dearest friend; the sorrow of lifetimes has been shattered. The store of merit accumulated over many births has at last borne its fruit. Says Tuka, I shall count myself blessed for having found this innermost treasure.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Ecstasy and Joy
Triumphant happiness: poems written from the far side of the struggle.
