Khel Mandiyala Valwanti Ghai — Abhanga di Sant Tukaram

Khel Mandiyala Valwanti Ghai — Abhanga di Sant Tukaram

Un inno festoso di Sant Tukaram che ritrae la gioiosa assemblea sulle rive sabbiose della Chandrabhaga a Pandharpur. Calpestando ego e ira, i devoti si prostrano gli uni ai piedi degli altri in una santa fratellanza danzante.

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.

Egalitarian Sands of Pandharpur

Verse 2 describes devotees stepping on anger and pride (krodha abhimana kela pavatani), literally touching the feet of all fellow pilgrims regardless of caste.

The Sandbed as Sacred Ground

The wide sands of the Chandrabhaga river (Valwanti) are considered as holy as the sanctum sanctorum because of the dust of millions of saintly feet.

Easy Footpath to Liberation

Stanza 5 concludes with Tukaram's triumphant declaration that the saints have simplified the path across the turbulent ocean of existence (Bhavaghat).
