1000 MILLION RESOLUTION

94 Koti and 60 lakh (946 million) composed by Saint Namdeva
Balance 01 lakh and 25 thousand (125 thousand) hymns
from 05 Koti and 40 lakhs(Fifty Four Million) after Saint Tukaram
composed by me (Saint Tukavipra) by the grace of Lord Vitthal
I am thank full to lord Vitthal for his blessings
to fulfill this great resolution

MESSAGE OF RESOLUTION

Every year Saint Tukavipra used to go to Pandharpur, with 'Dindi'(group of devotees singing and dancing) on 'Aashadhi' and 'Kartiki' Ekadashis. After taking Lord Vitthal's darshan (touching feet) he used to do 'Kirtan' with 'warkari' (devotees) in the desert of Chandrabhaga river. Like every year, in Saka 1666 on Kartik Ekadashi he came to the desert of river Chandrabhaga and found the banks full of water. Whatever place was left in the desert was occupied by devotees. He had no place left for the Kirtan. He went to devotee Pundalika's temple. First he took Pundalika's father's and mother's darshan and then saluted great devotee Pundalika. (for whom Lord Vitthal is waiting/standing from several ages at Pandharpur) He told his problem to devotee Pundalika.

And what a surprise! Pundalika moved his own temple to the east and made room for Tukavipra's Kirtan. In the same night with his yoga power Tukavipra arranged to do Kirtans on the same hymn by every Kirtankar (Discourse lecturer).

In the morning Lord Vitthal himself offered 'inkpot and pen' to Saint Tukavipra and ordered him to go to the river Krishna for the fulfillment of the resolution.

TUKAVIPRA & RANGNATH SWAMI

After taking blessings from 'Lord Vitthal, Saint Tukavipra arrived at Nigdi on his way to river Krishna. There Ranganathswami's death anniversary celebration was in progress. Saint Tukavipra's great grandfather was the disciple of the same Ranganathswami. Incidentally at this great celebration current head of the state Manoharswami who was the son of great Saint Poet Shirdharswami requested Tukavipra to do 'Kirtan' in front of the Samadhi (memorial) to which Tukavipra obliged.

In the beginning of Kirtan he offered his respect to Ranganathswami.

At Nigdi Samadhi I salute Swami Ranganatha
His incarnation has uplifted everyone,
he is the best among all human beings,
from Krishna and Venya area

He is very devotional , resting live
in Samadhi with devotion singing
with his devotion he made
god as his best friend

In the Margashirh Month
on the auspicious day of Krishna Dashmi
while doing Kirtan
he offered his body to God
Tukavipra says I bow in front of this sage
while doing Kirtan in Kaliyuga
for such a great person
I salute Rangnath swami for his work

With Deep knowledge of philosophy, mastery over oration and deep devotion to the God, Saint Tukavipra succeed to create live presence of Ranganathswami's to the audience.
