Tukarama Acharya's Brahma Muhurta Prayers

[Guest guest]

I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Ganesh and

Mother Sarada Devi ( Saraswati ).

I put my head on the lotus feet of my gurudeva. Please

give me the intelligence to glorify Lord Hari. My dear

Gurudeva there is no friend like to you in the whole

world. Please hold this servant by your strong hand.

Tukarama says that Lord Panduranga is my mother,

father, gurudeva and brother. Oh Lord Panduranga, you

are the ocean of mercy.

 

Please chant Lord Hari’s name during the brahma

muhutra. There is no happiness better than chanting at

early hours. Please glorify the Lord by uttering the

following names : Keshava, Vamana, Narayana, Vishnu,

Krishna, Sankarshana, Rama, Rama, Madhava, Vamana,

Sridhara, Govinda, Achuyta, Mukunda, Purushottama,

Narahari, Bhargava, Gopala, Vasudeva and Hrishikesh.

Oh Lord ! Please be satisfied by my remembrance of

Your holy names.

 

Tukarama says, if you have strong faith in the holy

name of Lord Hari, Lord Panduranga will definitely

help you. Tukarama says that if you utter the names

of holy places such as Ayodhya, Mathura, Kashi,

Avantika, Kanchi, Dwaraka and Mayapura, you will

ascend to Vaikuntha. Also remember Lord Hari every

moment. Thus you will cross over the ocean of birth

and death easily. Tukarama says that this is the

importance of the holy name. One who regularly chants

is a great person.

 

Every moment one should remember the names of the holy

rivers such as Yamuna, Kaveri, Ganga, Bhagirathi,

Krishna, Saraswati, Tungabhadra, Narmada etc. Then

there is no fear. Such a person who chants the holy

name of Lord Hari will elevate other fallen souls by

association to others. Even if others just see such a

chanter of the holy names, they will be liberated.

Tukarama says that wherever there is a strong faith in

the holy name, Lord Vasudeva is manifest there all the

time.

 

Early morning, remember the holy name. So that you

will be able to forget about the birth and death

altogether. Even if somebody just remembers Nala,

Yudhisthira, Janaka and Janardana, that person will be

elevated to the highest position.

 

Please do not be lazy in chanting the holy name of

Lord Hari. There is no fear for the living entities as

long as they are chanting. Tukarama say that one who

glories Srila Govindadeva will experience the topmost

bliss.

 

Kashyap, Gautam, Bharadwaja, Atri, Vishwamitra,

Jamadagni and Vashishta are very great sages. They are

revered in all the three worlds. If one utters the

holy name of Lord Hari, all the sin, unhappiness and

poverty will vanish. Also one would accumulate huge

spiritual benefit. Tukarama says that if you utter the

holy name of Lord Hari, your heart will be filled with

the overwhelming joy.

 

Ahilya, Draupadi, Sita, Tara and Mandodari are the

greatest chaste women who were very faithful to their

husbands. Just uttering their holy names will elevate

your ancestors, present family members and descendents

to vaikuntha planet. Just giving up the materialistic

plans, please utter Hari, Hari… You will be rescued

from the bondage of the repeated birth and death. Then

there is no question of harassment from Yamaraja’s

side.

 

Vysadeva, Ambarisha, Vasistha, Narada, Shaunaka and

Prahlada are the great bhagavatas. If everybody

remembers them every day, then the cycle of birth and

death in 8.4 million species is instantaneously

terminated. If one utters the names of Sukadeva

Goswami, Parashar Muni, Pundalik, Arjun, Valmiki, Bali

Maharaja, Bhibhisana, Bhisma and Rukmangada, then that

person should be considered to be as good as a

demigod.
