English Translation of abhangs of Sage
Thukaram
Abhangs are sung in Carnatic Music
concerts for the past several years. These are
mainly devotion dripped poems written in Marathi. Though the
audience listen to them with great rapture, most of them do
not understand the meaning of these great works. Since I do
not know Marathi, I have been requesting my Maharashtrian friends to help
me to give the translation of at least few Abhangs so that I
can help the south Indian audience .At last I found my friend
Anil.G.Joshi who has translated ten of the great Abhangs of
Saint Thukaram. Sant Tukaram (1577–1650) was a prominent Varkari Sant and spiritual
poet of the Bhakti.
He is often referred to with an honorific, Sant Tukaram. Sant Tukaram was a
devotee of Vitthala or Vithoba, a form of God Vishnu.
