Nāthā gharī nāche mājhā sakhā Pāndurang 🚩
Friendship with God, thats the sweetness here.

A little gulal outside, a lot of joy inside.
Jai Jai Vitthala 🚩
Vithoba Mauli 🙏
Janani prthivi kamadughaste 🙏

& return to discipline, giving, compassion.
Real strength is self control 🫶
Damyata. Datta. Dayadhvam. 🙏
