Sawale sundar Roopa manohara

A very famous Abhanga by 17th century saint poet Tukaram on Shri Vitthala , the main deity of Bhaagavat Sampradaya cult based on Bhakti (devotion) concept.
Beautifully sung by Pt, Bhimsen Joshi, it is one of the most popular Abhangas sung by the legendery singer, presenting the translation of the same in English for the listners who don't understand Marathi,
A small piece of devotion from my side towards Marathi language and Vitthala
