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!
