Yesterday, our book was released, and we were blessed with the presence and blessings of President Haribhakta Parayan Shri Purushottam Maharaj More and Trustee Haribhakta Parayan Shri Manik Maharaj More, who came from Dehu. They are the direct descendants of Tukaram Maharaj himself.

The esteemed guests on stage warmly welcomed this initiative and expressed their delight that Tukaram Maharaj’s thoughts are now accessible to the world in English. They believe this will undoubtedly benefit the global community.

I request all of you to help us spread the teachings of the saint to major countries like America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Japan.

I sincerely hope and expect that everyone will buy at least one copy of this book. After they've finished reading it, they can give it to those who don't read Marathi—especially non-Marathi speakers or foreigners. Please let the book to the right readers for whom it has been created, particularly those living outside India. We all should give the book to them.

Tukaram Gatha Abhang 846 - Buddhichaa janitaa lakshmichaa patee

 

Gatha Abhang 846 - Buddhichaa janitaa lakshmichaa patee

Marathi Text

बुद्धीचा जनिता लक्ष्मीचा पति । आठवितां चित्तीं काय नव्हे ॥१॥
आणिकां उपायां कोण वांटी मन । सुखाचें निधान पांडुरंग ॥२॥
गीती गावों नाचों छंदें वाहो टाळी । वैष्णवांचे मेळीं सुखरूप ॥३॥
अनंत ब्रम्हांडें एके रोमावळी । आम्ही केला भोळीं भावें उभा ॥४॥
लटिका हा केला संवसारसिंधु । मोक्ष खरा बंधु नाहीं पुढें ॥५॥
तुका म्हणे ज्याच्या नामाचे अंकित । राहिलों निंश्चित त्याच्या बळें ॥६॥

 Translation

A saint may appear as a simple, unassuming person, but the power that he gets from his oneness with God is infinite. They perceive and try to describe God, the creator of this Universe, in which we live. If you travel from one end to the other at the speed of light, it will take 30 Billion years!! Or more because while we are travelling it will expand even further by another few billion years! Here is a mind boggling description from Tukaram Maharaj about the size of God! Countless Universes are built on just one hair of His body!!!!!

1. Shri Vishnu is the giver of Intelligence. If you just remember Him in your heart, is there anything that you will not obtain?

2. Shri Pandurang is the great treasure of happiness. Why and who will divert his mind in going to any other place to achieve anything else?

3. We will sing and dance happily in the company of Vaishnavas and clap in a nice rhythm!

4. Countless Universes are built on just one hair of His body (So, you can imagine His endless infinite formless form). With our plain hearted loving nature, we have motivated such great Lord to stand on a brick!

5. I have realized that this world is not real. So, henceforth, I will not be bound by any compulsions of re-birth and even Moksha is not relevant for me.

6. Tuka says, I have become a servant of this God and on the strength of my service I have become completely worry-free.

 Roman Script

1. Buddhichaa janitaa lakshmeechaa pati, aathavitaa chittee kaay navhe

2. Aanikaa upaayaa kon vaatee man, sukhaache nidhaan paandurang

3. Geetee gaavo naacho chhande vaaho taalee, vaishnavaanche melee sukhroop

4. Anant bhramaande eke romaavalee, aamhee kelaa bholee bhaave ubhaa

5. Latikaa haa kelaa sanvasaarsindhu, moksha kharaa bandhu naahee pudhe

6. Tuka mhane jyaachyaa naamaache ankit, raahilo nishchint tyaachyaa bale.

Tukaram Gatha Abhang 580 - Sone daavee varee taambe - सोनें दावी वरी तांबें तयापोटीं

Rupa Abdi completes her service by recording 5 abhang! This one has the best backdrop - a moving sea visual! Reflection of reflection which makes a sound Aum all the time! Thank you Rupa! Very weldone. All the best to your blog "Seeker"!! Tukaram Gatha Abhanga 580 - Sone daavee varee taambe Marathi Text सोनें दावी वरी तांबें तयापोटीं । खरियाचे साटीं विकुं पाहे ॥१॥ पारखी तो जाणे तयाचे जीवींचें । निवडी दोहींचें वेगळालें ॥२॥ क्षीरा नीरा कैसें होय एकपण । स्वादीं तो चि भिन्न भिन्न काढी ॥३॥ तुका म्हणे थीता नागवला चि खोटा । अपमान मोटा पावइल ॥४॥ Roman Text 1. Sone daavee varee taambe tayaapotee, khareeyaache saatee viku paahe 2. Paarakhee to jaane tayaache jeeveeche, neevadee doheeche vegalaale 3. Ksheera neera kaise hoy ekapan, swadee to chi bhinna bhinna kaadhee 4. Tuka mhane theta naagavala chi khota, apamaan mota paavayil. Translation 1. Here is an ornament which is listening like a Gold on the surface but inside it is all only Copper and this man is trying to sell it as genuine Gold. 2. But the man who knows how to test, identifies the Copper inside the Gold and shows that by separating the Copper and Gold. 3. How can milk and water have the same worth? A man who can test it properly will easily find by testing that indeed they are mixed together for cheating someone. 4. Tuka says a cheater will always be exposed and will be insulted very heavily. ***

Tukaram Gatha Abhang 579 - Vaat vaikunthee paahatee - by Rupa Abdi - वाट वैकुंठीं पाहाती

Tukaram Gatha Abhanga 579

A very serene backdrop, make listening to Rupa's narration a truly delightful spiritual experience! Thank you Rupa!!

Marathi Text

वाट वैकुंठीं पाहाती । भक्त कैं पां येथें येती ।

तयां जन्ममरणखंती । नाहीं चित्तीं परलोक ॥१॥

धन्यधन्य हरिचे दास । तयां सुलभ गर्भवास ।

ब्रह्मादिक करिती आस । तीर्थे वास भेटीची ॥२॥

कथाश्रवण व्हावयास । यमधर्मा थोर आस ।

पाहे रात्रदिवस। वाट कर जोडोनियां ॥३॥

रिद्धिसिद्धी न पाचारितां । त्या धुंडिती हरिभक्ता ।

मोक्षसायुज्यता । वाट पाहे भक्तांची ॥४॥

असती जेथें उभे ठेले । सदा प्रेमसुखें धाले ।

आणीक ही उद्धरिले । महादोषी चांडाळ ॥५॥

सकळ करिती त्यांची आस । सर्वभावें ते उदास ।

धन्य भाग्य त्यांस । तुका म्हणे दरुषणें ॥६॥

Roman Script

1. Vaat vaikunthee paahatee, bhakt kai pa yethe yetee.

Taya janmamarankhantee, naahee chittee paralok

2. Dhanya dhanya Hariche daas, taya sulabh garbhavaas.

Bramhaadik karitee aas, teerthe vaas bheteechee

3. Kathaashravan vhaavayaas, Yamadharma thor aas.

Paahe raatradivas, vaat kar jodoniya

4. Ridhisidhhi na paachaarita, tya dhunditee Haribhakta.

Mokshasaayujyata, vaat paahe bhaktaanchee

5. Asatee jethe ubhe thele, sada premsukhe dhaale.

Aanik hee udhareele, mahaadoshee chaandal

6. Sakal karitee tyanchee aas, sarvabhaave te udaas.

Dhanya bhaagya tyaas, Tuka mhane darushane.

Translation

1. When will these devotees of Vishnu come to stay in Vaikuntha? The people in Vaikuntha are eagerly waiting for them. But these devotees are never worried about the cycles of birth and death. So, their heart is never longing for Vaikuntha.

2. These servants of Shri Hari are really blessed. They find even the pain of growing in the womb as easily acceptable. Gods like Brahmadev are eager to meet these devotees. Even holy pilgrimage places are eager to meet them (meaning they are waiting for these devotees to come to their place.

3. Even Yama (deity of death) has a great urge to listen to listen to stories of Hari, from these Vaishnavites. They keep waiting for them, day and night, with folded hands.

4. The special powers Riddhi and Siddhi come to these devotees, after having to make an effort for finding them. The highest level of liberation which is called ‘Sayujyata Muktee’ (Becoming one with God) also eagerly awaits this devotee.

5. These devotees of Hari are always fully immersed in their love for God. They have elevated many tarnished people, with the history of evil karmas; and very low cast people (who would ordinarily not be inclined to pursue spirituality). This happens just as the result of the company of these devotees.

6. Tuka says everyone wants darshan of these devotees, but these servants of Hari are very much above everything. They have achieved complete detachment. Those who get their darshan are very very fortunate.

Gatha Abhang 578 - Vitho saapadaavaya haatee - by Rupa Abdi -

Rupa Abdi is creating lovely videos and helping spreading message of Peace and Love from Tukaram Maharaj to the whole world! Tukaram Gatha Abhang 578 Marathi Text विठो सांपडावया हातीं । ठावी जाली एक गति । न धरीं भय चित्तीं । बळ किती तयाचें ॥१॥ लागे आपणचि हातीं । किंव भाकावी काकुलती । करी मग चित्तीं । असेल तें तयाचें ॥२॥ एकलिया भावबळें । कैं सांपडे तो काळें । वैष्णवांच्या मेळें । उभा ठाके हाकेसी ॥३॥ बांधा माझिया जीवासी । तुका म्हणे प्रेमपाशीं । न सोडीं तयासी । सर्वस्वासी उदार ॥४॥ Roman Text 1. Vitho saapadaavaya haatee, thaavee jaalee ek gati. Na dharee bhay chittee, bal kitee tayaache 2. Laage aapanachi haatee, kiv bhaakaavee kaakulatee. Karee mag chittee, asel te tayaache 3. Ekaliya bhaavabale, kai saapade to kaale. Vaishnavaanchya mele, ubha thaake haakesee 4. Baandha maaziya jeevasee, Tuka mhane premapaashee. Na sodee tayaasee, sarvaswaasee udaar. Translation I have found a path to reach God and become one with him. Now you need not be afraid of him at all. After all, how much strength can he have? (Meaning he cannot resist your attack of love for him). If you Express your desperation and plead ardently, then he will come to you by himself. Then he will do with the devotee whatever comes in his heart. If you worship him alone it will take some time to get him, but if you simply call out on him while remaining in a group of Vaishnavites, then he stands in front of you within no time. Tuka says, you may tie up this Shri Vitthal with my life, with a bond of love. Once you do that, I will just not leave him. Even though I am very generous in all other matters with everybody else! *** May God bless Rupa. If you would also like to record 5 abhang and send those videos, pl. do that!! Lets work together for a cause.
