Bheti Lagi Jiva Lagalise Aas — Abhanga de Sant Tukaram

Bheti Lagi Jiva Lagalise Aas — Abhanga de Sant Tukaram

O arquétipo sublime de Viraha Bhakti (o anseio da alma por Deus) por Sant Tukaram. Com três comoventes metáforas — a ave Chakor esperando a lua cheia, a noiva ansiando pelo lar materno em Diwali, e o bebê faminto chorando pela mãe —, o santo revela sua sede ardente de Lord Vitthal.

Sobre este Texto

Composto por: 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.

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.
