राम
गाथा 4071The Power of the Name

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

 रात्री दिवस आह्मां युद्धाचा प्रसंग । अंतर्बाहए जग आणि मन ॥1॥

 जीवा ही आगोज पडती आघात । येऊनियां नित्य नित्य करी ॥2॥

 तुका ह्मणे तुझ्या नामाचिया बळें । अवघीयांचें काळें केलें तोंड ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Day and night we face the battle within and without: the world and the mind. Blows strike even the very jiva, coming again and again, without ceasing. Says Tuka, by the strength of Your name, we have blackened the faces of all our enemies.

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.
