‘Anandowari’ is an important Marathi novel written by Late Di.Ba.Mokashi.Tukaram, as all of us know, was one of the most important Marathi saints from the Varkari Parampara. He resided at Dehu, near Pune.The Vitthal Temple in his house at Dehu, had an ‘Owari’ or ‘Verandah’ outside it. This ‘Owari’ was known as ‘Anandowari’. Saint Tukaram wrote his verses on this ‘owari’. This place was a witness to most of Tukaram’s life. The protagonist and narrator of this play is‘Kanhoba’, Tukaram’s younger brother. The moment, at which the play starts, ‘Tukaram’ has disappeared as usual. He is possibly lost in some deep spiritual, philosophical trance, which used to happen quite often. Kanhoba used to go in search of his brother on such occasions. However this time he is not able to find Tukaram at the usual places. Kanhoba gets worried. He gets frantic with the thought, that this time he may have ‘lost’ Tukaram forever. While searching for Tukaram, Kanhoba starts recalling the spiritual journey of his brother. He tells us about Tukaram’s life, his sensitive, revolutionary poetry and their relationship with each other. While narrating, Kanhoba, himself a sensitive poet, also throws light on the social conditions, fundamental, philosophical and social issues of that period. Through this narrative, we come face to face with many perpetually important philosophical and social questions and also come to realize the validity of Tukaram’s thought even today.
