Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
दीप न देखे अंधारा । आतां हें चि करा जतन ॥1॥
नारायण नारायण । गांठी धन बळकट ॥ध्रु.॥
चिंतामणीपाशीं चिंता । तत्वता ही नयेल ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे उभयलोकीं । हे चि निकी सामोग्री ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
A lamp knows no darkness. Now guard this alone with care. Narayana, Narayana. This Name is wealth, held firm in the knot of your garment. Near the chintamani, no worry can truly approach. Says Tuka, for both worlds, this is the finest provision of all.
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.
