Sant Tukaram was born in 1608 A.D. at a village called
Dehu in Poona district. It is about eleven kms from
A2.
Alandi---the place honoured by the Samadhi of
Loo
Dor
Dnyaneshwar--and about five kms from the railway station at
Wn
Shelarwadi on the railway line running from Bombay to Pune.
arre
The family had established itself at Dehu for a long time. They
mo
had accepted Vithoba of Pandharpur for worship and they had
also constructed a temple of their own dedicated to Vithoba.
Tukaram had two brothers named Savji and Kanhoba. When Ven
Tukaram was thirteen years old, he was married to Rukmabai.
Dat
As Rukmabai was of weak health, he was soon married again
Tin
to Jijabai of Pune. When he was about seventeen years, he
Ber
lost his parents. The death of his parents was a great shock to
att
Tukaram. Tukaram tried his hand in several ventures of trade
3]
and always came back either with empty hands or with a loss.
Ot
Once, on the way home, he was robbed of everything by
CO
confidence-tricksters who gave him gilt brass ornaments in
dc
exchange for all the money he had with him. On another
occasion, returning home, he came across a poor Brahmin
Q5
who was starving; he made the Brahmin very happy by giving
him everything--the profit as well as the principal which his
wife had borrowed. Jijabai helped him again to set up a small
shop in his own village, but she counted without Tukaram's
state of mind. Tukaram used to sit in the shop doing Bhajan
and being very kind and honest to his customers. Soon
therefore, he became bankrupt, with two wives, a son and a
younger brother to feed.
Tukaram was so much disgusted with life that he left his
house and village and disappeared into the Bhamnath forest
nearby.
