Bheti Lagi Jiva Lagalise Aas — Abhanga di Sant Tukaram

Bheti Lagi Jiva Lagalise Aas — Abhanga di Sant Tukaram

Il capolavoro supremo di Viraha Bhakti (il tormento d'amore dell'anima per Dio) di Sant Tukaram. Con tre toccanti metafore – l'uccello Chakor che attende la luna piena, la sposa che anela alla casa materna e il bambino affamato che piange per la madre –, Tukaram effonde la sua sete di Vitthal.

Su questo Testo

Composto da: Sant Tukaram · Medieval Warkari Poet-Saint · 17th century, Maharashtra

A householder-saint of the Warkari tradition from Dehu, Maharashtra, who composed thousands of Abhangas (devotional verses) to Vitthal in plain, direct Marathi, often reflecting on his own hardships, doubts, and everyday struggles as a grain merchant.

Lo sapevi?

The Metaphor of the Chakor

Ancient Indian poetics holds that the mythical Chakor bird drinks only the cool nectar of moonbeams; similarly, Tukaram's consciousness drinks only the nectar of Vitthal's grace.

Diwali Reunion in Maharashtra

In rural Maharashtra, married daughters traditionally return to their parental home (Maher) for Diwali; Tukaram equates the temple of Pandharpur to this blissful ancestral refuge.

The Universal Cry of the Soul

Tukaram's longing is addressed to God as mother; the images of the chakor, the daughter and the hungry child need no commentary for any listener.
