🌸 Warm greetings on the auspicious occasion of Ashadhi Ekadashi! 🌸

On this sacred day, we bow to Bhagwan Vitthal and seek His divine blessings for peace, prosperity, and harmony in our lives. May His grace lead us towards building a society filled with happiness, compassion, and abundance. Let us also resolve to continue serving the poor and uplift the downtrodden, embodying the spirit of selfless devotion and love.

Here’s a poetic version in the spirit of Sant Tukaram, invoking Bhagwan Vitthal and weaving devotion with service:

🙏🏻 पंढरीच्या राजाला वंदन 🙏🏻

पंढरीनाथा, पांडुरंगा, चरणी वाहतो प्रेमगंगा,

तुकयाचे हे अभंग सुरे, तुझ्या भक्तीत उगम पावे रे।

दीन-दलितांना आधार दे, तुझ्या करुणेची वर्षा होवे,

विठ्ठलाच्या ओव्यांतून प्रकटे, जीवनात नवे तेज सामावे।

भक्तांनो, सेवा करुया जी, परमार्थाचा गंध दरवळु दिजी,

तुकयासारखी एकनिष्ठ माया, दे पांडुरंगा, दे गा तूच दाया।

Perfect choice! Here’s a Marathi + English bilingual poetic version in the Abhanga style of Sant Tukaram, blending devotion to Vitthal with a universal message:

🌸 पंढरीनाथा – The Eternal Guide 🌸

विठ्ठल विठ्ठल गजर करितो, पंढरीच्या राजाला वंदन,

Vitthal! Vitthal! I call Your name, O King of Pandhari, I bow again and again.

भक्तांच्या ओठांवरी तुझा अभंग, जीवनाला मिळो नवा रंग,

On every lip resounds Your song, O Lord, let Your love make this world strong.

दीन-दलितांना आधार देत, करूणेस वाहतो वाहतुकी,

To the poor and fallen You extend Your care, Your mercy flows like rivers in air.

तुकाराम म्हणे “माझे हे जीवन, सेवेत तुझ्या अर्पण झाले,”

Tukaram cries, “This life of mine, at Your lotus feet I humbly resign.”

संपत्ती, सुखे, वैभव देई, पण भक्तीची लय न सोडू दे,

Bless us with joy and abundant peace, but never let devotion cease.
