Word-by-Word Breakdown
Origin & History
Source: Tukaram Gatha (Marathi abhang tradition of the Varkari sampradaya)
Author: Sant Tukaram
Period: 17th century CE
Sant Tukaram of Dehu poured his devotion to Vitthal into thousands of abhangs collected as the Tukaram Gatha. In 'Sundar Te Dhyan' he lovingly contemplates the standing image of Panduranga at Pandharpur — the form with hands on the waist that has drawn pilgrims for centuries. Rather than asking for anything, Tukaram declares that simply beholding the Lord's blessed face (Shrimukh) is the whole of happiness, making the abhang a model of pure, desireless devotion.
