Radhanath Swami

The most revered Saint Tukaram was an enlightened, dauntless and rebellious poet. Epitome of the Bhagwat sect, the Saint Tukaram lived and preached philosophy to the masses through his Abhanga, in simple, lucid and yet deeply meaningful language. Abhanga became an essential part of every day life in rural India, popular even with illiterate people. His Abhanga are full of devotion, knowledge and asceticism.

In these words he showed his mastery over the language and enlightened the masses in his simple but flowery language. He strongly criticised casteism, explained Adhyatma or philosophy of the Atma or soul and sang in devotion to Lord Vitthal. We can see his poetic brilliance reach beyond country, gender or time.

His deity was the dark idol of Lord Vitthal (A Form of Lord Krishna) standing on ordinary bricks at the Pandharpur temple. It is believed that even the Lord Vithoba, standing on the bricks, comes in person and takes pride in enjoying the devotional Abhanga of Tukoba being sung in such musical tunes!

This book presents the life of Tukaram, one of the greatest saints of India in a marathi language.
