Guru Purnima Greetings: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj taking blessings from Sant Tukaram Maharaj
Sant Tukaram Maharaj was born on 22 January 1608 and passed away on 19 March 1650. He lived like this for 42 years. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was born on February 19, 1630 and died on April 3, 1680. That is, when Shivaji Maharaj was 20 years old, Saint Tukaram Maharaj went to Vaikuntha.
Tukaram Maharaj was a very common personality. His morals were also the same. He always cared about the poor in the society. It is understood from an abhanga.
Saint Tukaram Maharaj showed this kind of unbroken path to the common people by telling them an easy way of devotion to God.
Whether Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Tukoba met or not is a matter of debate. All the traditional biographers of the Tukobas, however, mention such a meeting.
