Take it easy

Shevanta...

What are you doing sister-in-law?

I'm giving her the

charge of this house

But you are older than her

What's the use of that?

The one who takes care

of the house is bigger

It's enough if you just feed us

If you stop caring...

...who do we look up to?

It us rrermain the way we are

We don't want the

burden of responsibilety

And you don't worry

Everything will get back to normal

This is just a temporary whim of his

Temporary or pemanent. Who knows?

You don't approve of what I did?

forget the keyns.

I wrant to get away From this house

Why?

It is obsessed with Lord Vitthal

What did you say?

It's obsessed with Lord Vitthal!

You know what people say?

That I'm obsessed with you

You pushed me to give up money lending

And now I'm ruined!

But they don't realize that Tuka...

...is attracted not

to material wealth...

...but to the everlasting wealth

that devotion to you gives him

orrd, in orrderr to

brrin g me closerr to you...

...to become one with you...

...you have liberated me from

the bother of worldly problems

Mother, give me some food. I'm hungry

Mahadev, Bhagu... come have lunch

You too sister-in-law

You've not had anything for two days

Why are you doing this?

It's been eight days that he's gone

I wonder how he is and where

How can I eat in peace?

I'm dItermined too

let me see how long he stays away

h no, did you have to

fly away because of me?

come, my dear friends

come sit by me

The flora and fauna

are our kith and kin

The flora and fauna

are our kith and kin

So are the birds who sing sweIt songs

So are the birds who sing sweIt songs

The flora and fauna

are our kith and kin

The flora and fauna

are our kith and kin

This joy makes us long for soletude

This joy makes us long for soletude

Where we are not judged by anybody

Where we are not judged by anybody

The flora and fauna

are our kith and kin

The flora and fauna are

our kith and kin - Tuka!

The sky is the roof

and the earth the seat

The sky is the roof

and the earth the seat

Our minds frolic where

they find recreation

Our minds frolic where

they find recreation

The flora and fauna

are our kith and kin

The flora and fauna

are our kith and kin

Oh Lord Pandurang...!

Oh Lord Pandurang...!

Tuka says that in soletude

we can talk to ourselves

Tuka says that...

Tuka says that in soletude

we can talk to ourselves

We can converse with our inner beings

We can converse with our inner beings

The flora and fauna

are our kith and kin

The flora and fauna

The flora and fauna

When did you come?

While you were singing

What a lovely song!

And what does 'Tuka says' indicate?

Have you created it?

Maybe I created it; perhaps nature did

Everyone's singing here

The trees, animals, birds

So, you too can write

'abhangs' (devotional verses)?

The saint-poIt Namdev,

along with Lord Vitthal...

...Woke me up in my dreams

They gave me the

task of writing poetry

And asked me not to

indulge in empty talk

That means we have

the right to compose?

Didn't Saint Namdev do it?

Was he a brahmin?

But he was a great man, a leader.

You are just Tukaram Ambile

Dada, have you eaten?

Didn't you feel lonely here?

Lonely? With all this around me?

But what's wrong with the village?

These are people there

too who care for you

I like it there too

When people work hard

When the cobs of corn fill up

It's a great feeling

But there one is

divided into too many parts

Divisions of caste, divisions

at home; barriers in the fields

It's mine and yours all over!

The heart is a place for lots of love

But we have filled

it with money matters

How do we find joy there?

And look here!

The pond belongs to

the one who sits by it

You hear a bird's chirp; you own it

We lose out on such simple joys!

Yes, but God has created

some other creatures for our joy

And you owe them something too

Who?

Your wife, kids

Sister-in-law hasn't

eaten a bite since you left

Oh no!

Where did he go after storming out?

Don't I have a right to react

when he destroys all the papers?

Why should he leave?

Sister, he's rIturned

Great!

So where was he?

On top of the hill

The hill? Why? To drink in the breeze?

There was no need to go there

Here too, he behaved

like he walked on air

Got rid of ledgers; emptied grain bins

let that go now...

Oh yes; what a great man

eaves before dawrn but rIturns in

the evenin g wrhen someone rmakes him

Hey, what's this?

Is this a carnival? get out!

Relax, sister-in-law

Why give him water? Felicitate him!

Once for coming home

Also for not having

immersed anything else

YIt again for not turning

into an ascItic - Avali...

What? Remember you have a family?

Here, push them into

the well and be free

Avali...

Go away

You do what you want

and then apologize

Once and for all

Give up everything

Become an ascItic or be a householder

I won't allow you to behave

like this till we are around

You start trading again

No, if you do that,

all your attention will go to that...

...black God (Vitthal) in the temple

You start farming

Grow heaps of grain

Then do whatever worship you want

Okay, I'll start farming

Kanha, you look after

the business. Come - Where?

To the farm. Take the plough

May I come too?

- Nobody is going anywhere

Sit down. I can't let

you go without eating

I'm hungry too. Come on Shevanta,

let's make some flatbread

And your green vegetable

Then we'll go to the farm

- Me too

Okay. All of us will go

May your figure be always before me

May your figure be always before me

My beloved God,

husband of mother Rukmini

Your form is beautiful;

it feels good to chant your name

Please give me your love always

May your figure be always before me

My mother-like Lord Vithu,

give me this one boon

My mother-like Lord Vithu,

give me this one boon

Occupy my heart always

My mother-like Lord Vithu,

give me this one boon

Tuka says "I will not ask for more"

Tuka says "I will not ask for more"

"Since all my joy

lies in your worship"

May your figure be always before me

May your figure be always before me

Listen everyone

The arrogant Murarrao from the

barbaric Adilshahi empire...

...dermolished manyn villages

Those villages will be rebuilt

The land will be made fertile

This is by order of

Jijabai Shahji Bhosle

Glory be to Lord Rama and Lord Krishna

Oh mind, don't get lost

in the illusion of life

Bad times are here to torture you

When they happen

Your parents cannot save you

Neither king nor minister can help you

Nor powerful relatives

Tuka says nobody can save you

Except Lord Vishnu,

the bearer of the divine wheel

Lord Pandurang...

So friends...

Death is the greatest teacher

But we have forgotten its lesson

After the famine,

we are back to our usual ways

As if the tragedy never happened

Why aren't we ready to learn?

Why are we back to

chasing transient things?

I am truly surprised by these people
