Saint Tukaram:

Sant Tukaram was born and lived most of his life in Dehu, a small town near Pune in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Kumar, Munshi, Kinkaid and Parasanisa believe that he belongs to the Vani or food family. According to ancient Indian tradition, Tukaram's surname is rarely used to identify him. His real name is Tukaram Vihoba Ambile. In contrast, in Maharashtra, Tukaram is often called Sant Tukaram (संत तुकररम), according to another Indian tradition that commemorates "sant" as a saint. He is known as Bhakta Tukaram by South Indians.

Dilip Purushottam Chitre, a Marathi scholar, considers Tukaram to be the first modern Marathi poet. Chitre believes that Tukaram is the second saint after Sant Dnyaneshwar, who rejected the church hierarchy in Hinduism and opposed existing rituals in Hindu Dharma.

Life and poetry of the god Sant Tukaram was a devotee of the god Vitthala or Vithoba, a form of Vitthala or Vithoba. Krishna.

Santukaram is considered the high point of the Hindu Bhagabhatha tradition, which is believed to have started with Namdev in Maharashtra. Dnyaneshwar, Namdev, Janabai, Eknath and Tukaram are especially revered among the Olayli (वरकरी) sect in Maharashtra. Most of the information regarding the life of the upper castes of Maharashtra comes from the writings of Bhakti-Wijay and Bhakti-Leellamrut of Mahipati. Mahipati was born 65 years after Tukaram's death in Ekanath, Namdev and Deniya Dnyaneshwar died 353 years ago.) Therefore, Mahipati's life sketch is not correct according to all the above. "sants" is often heard.
