Tukaram Gatha is a Marathi language compilation of his works, likely composed between 1632 and 1650. Also called Abhanga Gatha, the Indian tradition believes it includes some 4,500 abhangas, but modern scholars have questioned the authenticity of most of them. The poems considered authentic cover a wide range of human emotions and life experiences, some autobiographical, and places them in a spiritual context. He includes a discussion about the conflict between Pravritti – having passion for life, family, business, and Nivritti – the desire to renounce, leave everything behind for individual liberation,. Ranade states there are four major collations of Tukaram's Abhanga Gathas. Authenticity Numerous inconsistent manuscripts of Tukaram Gatha are known, and scholars doubt that most of the poems attributed to Tukaram are authentic. Of all manuscripts so far discovered, four are most studied and labelled as: the Dehu MS, the Kadusa MS, the Talegeon MS and the Pandharpur MS.
Of these, the Dehu MS is most referred to because Indian tradition asserts that it is based on the writing of Tukaram's son Mahadeva, but there is no historical evidence that this is true. The first compilation of Tukaram poems were published, in modern format, by Indu Prakash publishers in 1869, subsidized by the British colonial government's. The 1869 edition noted, 'some of the as received manuscripts on which the compilation relied, had been 'corrected', 'further corrected' and 'arranged'.' This doctoring and rewriting over about 200 years, after Tukaram's death, has raised questions whether modern compilation of Tukaram's poems faithfully represent what Tukaram actually thought and said, and the of the document. The known manuscripts are jumbled, randomly scattered collections, without chronological sequence, and each contain some poems that are not found in all other known manuscripts.
Philosophy and practices Early 20th-century scholars on Tukaram considered his teachings to be -based but lacking a systematic theme. Edwards wrote, Tukaram is never systematic in his psychology, his theology, or his theodicy. He oscillates between a Vedanta and an view of God and the world, leaning now to a scheme of things, now to a distinctly Providential, and he does not harmonize them. He says little about cosmogony, and according to him, God realizes Himself in the devotion of His worshippers. Likewise, faith is essential to their realization of Him: 'It is our faith that makes thee a god', he says boldly to his. — Tukaram Gatha, 2482, Translated by RG Bhandarkar However, scholars also note that other Abhangas attributed to Tukaram criticize monism, and favor dualistic Vedanta philosophy of the Indian philosophers and.

In Abhanga 1471, according to Bhandarkar's translation, Tukaram says, 'When monism is expounded without faith and love, the expounder as well as the hearer are troubled and afflicted. He who calls himself Brahma and goes on in his usual way, should not be spoken to and is a buffoon. The shameless one who speaks heresy in opposition to the is an object of scorn among holy men.' The controversy about Tukaram's true philosophical positions has been complicated by questions of authenticity of poems attributed to him, discovery of manuscripts with vastly different number of his Abhang poems, and that Tukaram did not write the poems himself, they were written down much later, by others from memory.

Tukaram denounced mechanical rites, rituals, sacrifices, vows and instead encouraged direct form of bhakti (devotion). Kirtan Tukaram encouraged as a music imbued, community-oriented group singing and dancing form of. He considered kirtan not just a means to learn about Bhakti, but Bhakti itself. The greatest merit in kirtan, according to Tukaram, is it being not only a spiritual path for the devotee, it helps create a spiritual path for others. Social reforms Tukaram accepted disciples and devotees without discriminating gender.
One of his celebrated devotees was Bahina Bai, a Brahmin woman, who faced anger and abuse of her husband when she chose Bhakti marga and Tukaram as her guru. Tukaram taught, states Ranade, that 'pride of caste never made any man holy', 'the Vedas and Shastras have said that for the service of God, castes do not matter', 'castes do not matter, it is God's name that matters', and 'an outcast who loves the Name of God is verily a Brahmin; in him have tranquility, forbearance, compassion and courage made their home'. However, early 20th century scholars questioned whether Tukaram himself observed caste when his daughters from his second wife married men of their own caste. Fraser and Edwards, in their 1921 review of Tukaram, stated that this is not necessarily so, because people in the West too generally prefer relatives to marry those of their own economic and social strata. States that the acceptance, efforts and reform role of Tukaram in the Varakari-sampraday follows the diverse caste and gender distributions found in Bhakti movements across India. Tukaram, of Shudra varna, was one of the nine non-Brahmins, of the twenty one considered saints in Varakari-sampraday tradition. The rest include ten Brahmins and two whose caste origins are unknown.

According to Richard Eaton, from early 14th-century when Maharashtra region came under the rule of the, down to the 17th-century, the legacy of Tukaram and his poet-predecessors, 'gave voice to a deep-rooted collective identity among Marathi-speakers'.
Dilip Chitre summarizes the legacy of Tukaram and Bhakti poets, during this period of Hindu-Muslim wars, as transforming 'language of shared religion, and religion a shared language. It is they who helped to bind the Marathas together against the Mughals on the basis not of any religious ideology but of a territorial cultural identity'.

Saintliness is not to be purchased in shops, nor is it to be had for wandering, nor in cupboards, nor in deserts, nor in forests. It is not obtainable for a heap of riches. It is not in the heavens above, nor in the entrails of the earth below. Tuka says: It is a life's bargain, and if you will not give your life to possess it, better be silent.
The essence of the endless is this: Seek the shelter of God and repeat His name with all thy heart. The result of the cogitations of all the is also the same. Tuka says: The burden of the eighteen is also identical. Merit consists in doing good to others, sin in doing harm to others.

Tuka says: It is thus clear what is good and what is injurious, let people choose what they will. Tukaram leaves for, Supreme Abode of God.
