Tuka Mhane: Deep Dive into Sant Tukaram's Poetry, Protest, and Personal Transformation

After our first successful session at Bookavibe Cafe, we are back with the second iteration of 'Tuka Mhane'! 'Tuka Mhane' is an interactive exploration of the abhangs of Sant Tukaram through the lenses of poetry, society and personal development.

⭐ This session invites audiences to engage with Tukaram not merely as a saint, but as a poet, storyteller, comic, social critic, philosopher and observer of human life. Join us as we explore his remarkable insights into creativity, human psychology, social injustice, courage, suffering, happiness and devotion.

🗒️ Session Outline:

Through selected abhangs, discussion and reflection, participants will explore how Tukaram's words can help us better understand ourselves and the world around us.
