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.

*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.

Haripath - Invitation for online chanting

Deepak Phadnis is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Date: 29th Sept 2024

Sunday. 7:30 p.m. to 8:10 p.m.

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!
