Spirituality means different things to different people. For some, it is primarily a belief in God and for some way to salvation. Great saint of Maharashtra Saint Tukaram played the major role to guide the people to this noble ideal of spirituality. Saint Tukaram belonged to Warkari credo. Kirtan (spiritual discourse) was his means to make the people why to surrender to the ethics of god. He was the great devotee of Lord Vitthala of Pandharpur. He realised the ultimate goal of human life is not only acquiring wealth or being engaged in physical world. Getting free from the circle of rebirth one need to surrender everything and should be a true and selfless devotee of Lord Vittala. To make the simple and straight minded folks of Maharashtra, he composed holy songs and collected them in ‘Tukaram Gatha ( Holi songs of Saint Tukaram.) He adopted Kirtan (spiritual discourse) as a means to generate awareness among people. Being made the people aware with the real nature of God and how to reach him the so-called scrupulous and hypocrites accused him of ruining the religion. So Saint Tukaram had to suffer terribly. While practicing spirituality Saint Tukaram quarrels with God. During the severe drought, people were dying due to scarcity of food. Saint Tukaram quarrelled with God if they are children of God why he was treating them so severally. Saint Tukaram strongly believed in Vedas, Bhagavad Gita and Puranas. Lord Vitthal, his temple at Pandharpur, his prayer was his life motto. One need to follow the strict and rigid rules to reach the spiritual height.
