Volume : II, Issue : V, June - 2012 MARATHI SAINT POETRY: ITS SOCIAL CONTEXT Shivaji D. Sargar DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Literature is believed to be an artistic expression of the thoughts and ideas, passions and emotions
and experiences and actions of the human life. It is very closely related with the day-to-day happenings of the
life and times of its creator. And that is why it has been there as a source of pleasure for all of us for thousands
of years and it will remain the same for many future generations to come. But along with giving pleasure
which is experienced by the writers and readers at psychological level, literature also has social, political,
religious and spiritual functions. The literature can be considered as a true reflection of personal, familial,
social, political, religious and spiritual conditions in which the writer lives and his reactions to those
conditions. It is with this belief that the present paper attempts to study Marathi saint poetry with special
reference to the poetry of Saint Tukaram and bring out the relationship between the society and Tukaram's
poetry. It is seen that Tukaram observed various evil customs of his time and reacted against them through
his poetry. Therefore, his poetry can be considered as his protest against the prevalent socio-religious
customs. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Shivaji D. Sargar, (2012). MARATHI SAINT POETRY: ITS SOCIAL CONTEXT. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. II, Issue.
