Harichiya Dasa / हरिचिया दासा नाही भयचिंता



📜 Original Marathi Lyrics:

हरिचिया दासा नाहीं भयचिंता । दुःखनिवारिता नारायण ॥ध्रु.॥

न लगे वाहणें संसारउद्वेग । जडों नेदी पांग देवराया ॥१॥
असों द्यावा धीर सदा समाधान । आहे नारायण जवळी च ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे माझा सखा पांडुरंग । व्यापियेलें जग तेणें एकें ॥३॥

कृति: संत तुकाराम महाराज


🔤 English Transliteration:

Harichiya daasa nahi bhayachinta
Dukh nivarita Narayan 
||Dhru||

Na lage vahanen sansar udveg
Jadon nedi paang Devaraya 
||1||

Aso dyava dheer sada samadhan
Aahe Narayan javalich ||2||

Tuka mhane maza sakha Pandurang
Vyapiyele jag tenen eken ||3||

Lyrics : Sant Tukaram Maharaj


🌸 English Meaning:

The servant of Hari has no fear or anxiety,
For Narayana himself removes all sorrow. ||1||

The worldly burdens and troubles do not bind him,
The Lord Himself lifts the weight, O Divine Protector. ||Refrain||

Let us remain steady and content always,
For Narayana is ever near to us. ||2||

Tukaram says — my dearest friend is Panduranga,
The One who pervades and sustains the entire universe. ||3||


🪔 Reflection:

Sant Tukaram Maharaj (1608–1649), one of Maharashtra’s greatest Bhakti saints, lived and breathed the name of Lord Vitthala (Panduranga). His abhangas were not composed from luxury or leisure, but from the depth of devotion born in struggle and surrender. This bhajan, “Harichiya Dasa Nahi Bhayachinta”, radiates his central teaching — that one who truly surrenders to God lives beyond fear, sorrow, and restlessness. For Tukaram, devotion (bhakti) is not escapism but the highest courage — a fearless trust that the Divine carries our burdens when we let go of ego.

The song reminds us that the real strength of a devotee lies in his inner peace (samadhan) and unwavering faith that Narayana is always close. Tukaram saw Panduranga not as a distant deity but as his intimate friend (sakha), whose presence fills every atom of existence. The poet’s realization that “He alone pervades the world” captures the essence of non-duality through the lens of pure love.

This bhajan remains timeless — a gentle call to live with unshakable trust in the Divine. When one becomes the servant of Hari, fear dissolves, sorrow fades, and life becomes a serene offering of gratitude.
