Translation of Abhangs of Sant Thukaram

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.
