Rupa Abdi has done it again! So cool! Beautiful background! Spreading a saint's message! Very holy deed indeed! Thanks Rupa. Gatha Abhanga 577 - Vitthal geetee gaava विठ्ठल गीतीं गावा विठ्ठल चित्तीं ध्यावा । विठ्ठल उभा पाहावा विटेवरी ॥१॥ 1. Vitthal geetee gaava Vitthal chitti dhyava, Vitthal ubha paahaava vitevaree 1. 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. ***
