Description:Excerpt from Psalms of Maratha Saints: One Hundred and Eight Hymns Translated From the Marathi This collection contains translations of one hundred and eight poems by some of the chief Vaisnavite poets of the Maratha country. The number seemed not inappropriate in view of the fact that there are one hundred and eight tulsi beads on the rosary worn by the Vaisnavite devotee. Almost every one of these poems is a prayer, a cry of the saint to the god of his worship. It has not been an easy matter to decide which poems should be selected for translation. Some have been chosen because they have a place in the regular worship of the devotees, as repeated daily by the V rkaris or adherents of the Pandharpur sect or sung in their bhajans or song services. But it was not easy to make a selection from so immense a body of literature as these poets have produced. I accordingly applied to Sir R. G. Bhandarkar with a request that he would assist me in making a choice, and he most kindly responded by furnishing me with a list of fifty abha gs of Tuk r m from those which he uses for his daily and weekly religious exercises. To anyone who knows Sir Ramkrishna Bhandarkar as not only a great Oriental scholar but the outstanding representative in India to-day of the ancient school of bhakti, the fact that these psalms minister nourishment to a spiritual life so beautiful and so sincere is in itself sufficient testimony to their religious value. For him, as for these saints, the life of the spirit is the only life livable, and fellowship with God its purpose and its goal.
