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.

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.

Tukaram Gatha Abhang 536 - Sansaaraacha maatha bhaar - संसाराचा माथा भार...

My great friend Nalin Sharda, Electrical engineer, IIT Delhi, resident in Australia, has prepared this video! Enjoy it...... Tukaram Gatha Abhanga 536 Marathi Text संसाराचा माथा भार । काही पार न ठेवीं ॥१॥ भक्तीची ते जाती ऐसी । सर्वस्वावी मुकावें ॥२॥ भिक्षा आणि वेवसाव । कला करी तो गाढव ॥३॥ करुनि वस्ती बाजारी । म्हणवी कासया निस्पृही ॥४॥ प्रसाद आडुनी कवी । केलें तूप पाणी तेवीं ॥५॥ तुका म्हणे होई शूर । किंवा निसूर मजूर ॥६॥ Roman Script 1. Sansaaraacha maatha bhaar, kahee paar na thevee 2. Bhakteechee te jaatee aisee, sarvaswaasee mukaave 3. Bhiksha ani vevsaav, kala karee to gadhav 4. Karoonee vastee baajaaree, mhanavee kaasaya nispruhee 5. Prasaad adunee kavee, kele toop paani tevee 6. Tuka mhane hoi shoor, kinva nishoor major. Translation 1. Once you have taken the burden of these household responsibilities, then there's nothing else that you can do. 2. The basic concept of Bhakti (devotional path) is such that you have to leave everything else aside. 3. If you have to go to households for alms (as a part of spiritual pursuit), then you should not confuse it with a profession. It's not a profession. Anyone making such confusion can only be called a fool. 4. A man who goes to the market with a desire to earn profit and calls himself a selfless person! Why is he doing that? 5. Some fake poets just copy verses from an enlightened person and construct their own poetry. Isn't this like mixing water in ghee? 6. Tuka says, either one should become a brave soldier or just remain an ordinary labourer. *** If you wish you too can record five videos of five abhangs and I'll post them on "Deepak Phadnis" YouTube channel. I'll send you translations.

Tukaram Gatha Abhanga 537 तेज्या इशारती । तट्टा फोकावेरी घेती ॥१॥ काय सांगावे त्याहूनि । ऐका रे धरा मनीं ॥२॥ नव्हे भांडखोर । धरूं ओढुनी पदर ॥३॥ तुका म्हणे तोंड । काळे करा खाली मुंड ॥४॥ Roman Script 1. Tejya ishaaratee, tatta fokaavaree ghetee 2. Kaay saangaave tyaahoonee, aika re dhara manee 3. Navhe bhaandhkhor, dharoo odhoonee padar 4. Tuka mhane tond, kaale kara khalee mundh Translation 1. A horse of a good breed understands instructions of his master just by his signal. But, a stubborn pony, doesn't do anything even after getting beaten by a whip. 2. Oh dumb man! How should I tell you? You are even more stubborn than that pony. Please apply your whole mind and listen to what I am saying. 3. I am not a quarrelsome person. But, if you don't listen, I'll catch you by the hem of your shirt (edge) and insist that you listen. 4. Tuka says, Oh stubborn man! Just lower your head in shame, put some black paint on your face and go away from here (If you want to remain stubborn). ***

We should sing the name of Vitthal. We should hold him in our heart during meditation. We should see with our eyes this Vitthal standing on the brick. अनाथाचा बंधु विठ्ठल कृपासिंधु । तोडी भवबंधु यमपाश ॥२॥ 2. Anaathaacha bandhu Vitthal krupaasindhu, todee bhavasindhu yamapaash 2. This Vitthal is a brother for all. He is an ocean of blessings. He breaks the bond of the devotee with Yama (meaning his devotees become immortal; they become one with God). तोचि शरणागतां विठ्ठल मुक्तिदाता । विठ्ठल या संतांसमागमें ॥३॥ 3. Tochi sharanaagata Vitthal muktidaata, Vitthal ya santaansamaagame 3. This Vitthal generously liberates all the devotees who surrender at his feet. We can get him if we always stay in the company of saints. विठ्ठल गुणनिधि विठ्ठल सर्व सिद्धि । लागली समाधि विठ्ठलनामें ॥४॥ 4. Vitthal gunanidhi Vitthal sarva siddhi, laagalee samaadhi Vitthalanaame 4. This Vitthal is a Treasure house of all the virtues and we can get all the Siddhis from him. We go into Samadhi just by chanting his name. विठ्ठलाचें नाम घेतां जालें सुख । गोडावलें मुख तुका म्हणे ॥५॥ 5. Vitthalaache naam gheta jaale sukh, godaavale mukh Tuka mhane. 5. Tuka says, I am getting immense happiness while chanting his name and that has made my mouth very sweet. ***

If you wish you too can record five videos of five abhangs and I'll post them on "Deepak Phadnis" YouTube channel. I'll send you translations.

"Divine Verses - Tukaram Gatha Abhang Translation" - "56 Well known Abhang"

Your reply will be appreciated!

New development!

*Divine Verses - Tukaram Gatha Abhang Translation*

"56 Well known Abhang book"

While I am continuing with translations of Abhangs of Saint Tukaram Gatha, it has been suggested by a friend that we should first publish a book of translations of the very famous abhangs of Tukaram Maharaj which have been recorded as melodious songs. It will help millions of listeners and singers to understand the meaning of the holy words of this great Saint from Maharashtra!

So, with this objective, now I have translated 56 famous abhang of Saint Tukaram, which have already been recorded as songs by renowned singers.

I'm very happy that the renowned publishers 'Book Ganga' have decided publishing this book as a pilot before taking up publishing of the entire series of volumes of translations of 300 Gatha abhang in each volume. I have a script for 3 volumes already

( Volume 1: Abhang 1 to 300

Vol 2: Abhang 301 to 600 and

Vol 3: Abhang 601 to 831. Will reach Abhang 900 by the end of Nov 2024.)

With blessings from Lord Pandurang, I hope to complete all 4500+ translations soon. That will be 15 volumes of 300 each).

Please do communicate with me with your feedback and especially make it a point to tell me if you would be willing to buy the

1. The first book of 56 abhang of Sant Tukaram Gatha

2. 15 volumes of translations of the entire Abhang Gatha

Or

3. Both.

I'll record your name and keep you informed of further progress in printing and publication.

I have already received orders for about 280 copies of the Volume 1 (Translations of abhang 1 to 300).

Many thanks to Shri Mandar Joglekar, who has bought the International Book House of

Deccan Gym solely with the purpose of preserving the Marathi language and motivating people to read Marathi. He is a very young, successful IT company founder owner in the US, and the whole India should be proud of him.

Prelude: A Warkari family is a delight to watch and to talk to. They are always very much contented and they have a sweet smile on the face. What makes them so happy? Even a poor warkari is happy with what he has and loves to share with others. Even a very rich warkari is always very modest and is very eager to help others. What is the secret behind this warkari way of life?
I think the secret lies in the philosophies of St Dnyaneshwar, Saint Tukaram and the whole lineage of enlighted saints of Maharashtra. Vithoba is their most beloved God, the Ultimate Para Brahma Swaroop. Saint Dnyaneshwar gave the message of "Vasudhaiv kutumbakam", meaning this whole Universe is my family. Saint Tukaram has written such sweet poetry, Abhang Gatha, that God Himself decided to come down to the Earth and take him with Him to Vaikunth. All the saints have shown us the right way of living a contented life. Their main advise is to take to name chanting. The Haripath by Saint Dnyaneshwar, a chant comprising of 28 abhang, is sung by the Warkaris every evening. In the last verse Dnyaneshwar Maharaj ĥas given the secret of obtaining peace, the Ultimate peace which unites the Soul with the Universal Soul. "Shanti daya pahuna, Hari kari".
The central theme of the holy chant is "Hari mukhe mhana, Hari mukhe mhana, punyachi ganana kon kari" - Say Hari repeatedly, don't try to count how much punya you are accumulating. It's beyond your capacity to count! Even if you stand for one moment in front of God, you'll achieve 'Charee Muktee', i.e. liberation from all the four types of bindings with the Earthly matter and desires. These are freedom from the physical body, the astral body, the causal body and finally freedom from the binding with the Universal casual body, meaning the experience of reunion with the Universal Soul. You'll transcend death. The power of Haripath has been experienced by countless people in all generations since the 13th century. That's why it continues to be sung in millions of households even till today.
We are a group of alert and awake citizens of our country and we would like to urge our society members, our friends and relatives to get into the habit of chanting Haripath regularly and feel the change in many aspects of life as a result. Your understanding of who is God, where does God live and how to reach God will become quite clear. Not only that, your level of satisfaction with life will increase, you'll feel more peaceful and start enjoying the small things in life. You'll start feeling the bond of Universal love which the saints have been talking about.
We have planned to introduce you to chanting of Haripath online. Let's do it once every week and if you like it you can even start chanting it at your home every evening.
We had the 1st Haripath group chanting session on Sunday, the 21st September from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. We intend to continue to have this chant in every Sunday for one year. Please join as many sessions as possible and see if you like the experience.
Dr. Bhavarth Dekhane will also join us for some time to explain the meaning of some of the verses in the Haripath. I'm volunteering in this initiative as a facilitator for friends living outside India.
The link for the Zoom meeting is given below. Please click on the link and you'll get entry into the group chanting of Haripath.
Looking forward to meet you on this Sunday!
