“Teerth Vitthal . . ”, composed by Sant
Namdev is one of the epic Abhangas(Poetic compositions by Saints) ever in
Marathi literature. Being known as one of the most remarkable abhangas, it
gained its true fame, in music lovers in & outside India with a golden
touch of Pt. Bhimsen Joshi’s magical voice.
Being created as a tribute to Lord
Vitthal, God of Warkari sect in Maharashtra, the song beautifully shows the
path of Bhakti (Selfless devotion) to Vitthal.
The abhang was originally meant to sing
in the program called “Santwani”, one of the most famous musical programs of
Pt. Bhimsen Joshi, but even today, it enjoys its position in “All time favorite
Songs ” of music lovers.
The charm of the song is so amazing that
it actually takes us to Pandhari, across river Bheema, with thousands of
Warkari!
Here comes the you tube link to the song:
The original video of same song sung by Panditji in Savai Gandharva Mahotsav is also also available on YouTube.
The song is composed in Raag Ahir Bhairav, a morning raga (Timing: 6 to 9 AM) by Mr. Ram Faatak around 1970s.
Some of the favourite hindi songs based
on Ahir Bhairav are listed as bellow:
1. Pucho na kaise maine raine bitayee

Jaya shankara Gangadhara, in
Marathi, composed by Mr. Ram Marathe
