MARATHI SAINT POETRY: ITS SOCIAL CONTEXT

Shivaji D. Sargar

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.
