Many of them were devoted to the God Vitthal or Vithoba, but mostly criticized social injustices of the time.Om. It is said that over 5000 Abhangas were written by Sant Tukaram. He was a popular poet and a leading figure in the Varkari Movement of the time, which sought to put the emphasis back on devotion and love towards God, in contrast to blind obedience of rituals and arcane religious practices. Tukaram was a seventeenth century poet who lived in the town of Dehu, which is located near Pune. Other prominent singers were Varkari saints like Eknath and Tukaram. All these happened around places like Paithan, Pandharpur, Mangal Veda, Alandi and slowly spread to the entire Maharashtra. Thus was born the Namasankirtana cult and Varkari Sampradaya. Women and children were easily attracted to this new form of worship. This could be easily adopted and practised by the masses. This was the birth of "Bhakti Sampradaya" wherein it was possible to attain Godliness merely through Bhakti (devotion). Both Jñāneśvar and Namdev through their works, devotion and bhakti could initiate a sampradaya that did not attach importance to caste or creed but only devotion to Lord Panduranga. Around that time it was believed that Sanskrit was required to attain Godliness. It has become integral in Bhajan concerts across India.īhakti Sampradaya or Namasankeerthana Sampradhaya was pioneered by Jñāneśvar around 1200. It is a form of music performed by both classical and non-classical musicians. Some famous musicians for Abhangs are Bhimsen Joshi, Sudhir Phadke, Suresh Wadkar, Ranjani, Gayatri, Aruna Sairam and Jitendra Abhisheki. Marathi bhajans start with the naman (invocation of god), followed by the Roopancha Abhang (Portraying the physical beauty of god by personifying in the human form) and towards the end bhajans giving spiritual and ethical messages are sung.
