Preachers' Diary
Tukaaraam-2 |
Tukaaraam-2 Another incident of Tukaaraam Sant Tukaaraam, a Mahaaraashtra Saint, used to remain in Samaadhi in the day and sing and dance at night with large crowds of people. He always used to utter the name of Shree Raam. Once he was answering the call of nature and also saying "Raam, Raam". An orthodox priest was shocked at the uttering of the holy name by the saint at the time when his body was not clean. Hence he reprimanded him and ordered him to be silent. Tukaaraam said, "All right!" and remained mute. But at once there arose the name of Raam from every pore of Tukaaram and the priest was horrified by the din. He then prayed to Tukaaraam - "Restrictions are only for the common people and not for saints like you." God is everywhere and at every time, so why should you restrict yourself to only a few minutes or hours? Take His name anytime, anywhere in any condition - no problem.
