Granthee swarga - vaikuntha varnan | waachataa talleen hote mana |

Aamhee gaavee daaroo pyaalo | mhanage `darude lok' zaalo |

Konee gaavee tamaashaa karee | manoranjanaachaa prachaar vishaaree |
Some inconsiderate ardant entertainer arranges the `Tamasha' (The vulgar presentation of female dancers). He spreads up the poisonous kind of cheap public entertainment by this. young and immatured boys attend these vulgar shows and then dance as shameless dancers from door to door like those in the tamasha. ||55|| |
Nrutyakalechyaa navaakhaalee | vishayaandha bhaavanaa pasaralee |
under the sweet title of `dancing art' these shows create and spread up the provoking lewd and erotic feelings in the villagers. We must not allow such wrong illusive reforms to take roots in our villages. ||56|| |
Hee kalaa navhe, vidambana | paise lutaayaache sthan |
This is not the real art. It is the hideous distortion of the beautiful dancing art only to rob money from people. So we must not allow such erotic and provoking programmes under the disguise of drama, street plays (pathak) or the sex provoking consorts of songs and dances in the village. ||57|| |
Asel jyaat janahit | tyaaseech raahaave sahamata |
All of us should agree and allow such activities and prograammes which will continue to seek the betterment and welfare of our villages and villagers. We should cautously take a great care not to allow and grow any evil group of sect in the village. ||58|| |
uttam kaaryaasi je nighaale | Ramdhoon, bhajan, kalaapathak chaale |
Those, who come forward to perform good and moral activities such as Ramdhoon, bhajan and items of entertainment of good standard should form a `kalapathak' of healthy moral thoughts (a group of artists) and include in their programmes some items of physical exercises, games and pious, pure cultural items of entertainment. ||59|| |
Kothechi naahee kutilataa | Tamaashe-dandhaareechee heenataa |
There should not be the slightest air of cunning and wicked thoughts. The programmes should not contain below standard distorted form of art as it appears in the tamasha and erotic dandharee (folk plays).

He should not dare enter into the village without seeking proper and prior permission of the village and without informing the village. ||60|| |
Parakaa kaaryakramaasi ghuse | vichaaralyaavin mukhyaasi sahase |
The village should create and maintain such an awe that without seeking proper and prior permission of the head no stranger should pierce into the programme or ceremonies of the village. ||61|| |
Gaavaachyaa buddhichee oochcha paatalee | lokaa kalaave tatwe sagalee |
Lectures and discourses on upliftment of the villages should be arranged frequently to heighten the level of assimilating and understanding and intellect so that they can grasp the propositions, principles and truths in the different subjects and sciences. ||62|| |
Aapan konee bhinna aaho | aisee swapneehi bhaanaa na yewo |
A feeling of ego that we are somewhat different and superior to others should not come into our minds or even in our dreams also. So proper knowledge lessons should be frequently imparted to the villagers so that the thoughts of unity and integrity will always remain alive in their minds. ||63|| |
Aamuchyaa gaavee prarthanaa mandira | jethe sarva dharmaanchaa aadara |
There should be one temple of prayers in our village. There all faiths, religions will be held with equally high in esteem and adoration. All great and divine excellent spirits, who had existed in the past and who are existing in the world at present are all highly respectable and adorable to us like God. ||64|| |
Tyaach mandiree thoraanchee jayanti | utsava aani sant-punytithi |
In this village temple ceremonies and celebrtions like the birth anniversaries of great spirits and personages, festivals, death anniversaries of holy saints should be arranged. If such frequent programmes and ceremonies are held, all of us will have deep impressions of knowledge, through which the feel of collectivity will always be alive in our minds. ||65|| |
Saadhoo-dewataanchee jayantee | punyatithi aadi utsava kitee |
In this temple, we shall celebrate the birth anniversaries of God, seers and deities. We shall celebrate death anniversaries of the great holy spirits, holy saints and all respectful, adorable personages as the villagers desire from time to time. ||66|| |
pana sarvaanche asaave mata pavitra | gaavaane howoni ekatra |
But all such celebrations and ceremonies should be determined collectively by coming together with the sacred thought of our collectiveess (as the saying advises `paachaamukhee parameshwar' i.e. God speaks through the mouths of five heads) ||67|| |
Gaavachaa utsava to sarvaanchaa | Tyaat harsha ati aadarshaachaa |
All such celebrations of the village should be treated as the common, collective celebrations of the whole villagers. In that celebration, discussions should be held with the thought of ideal life of all. There should be no air of discontent. The individual feelings and thoughts should always be controlled and prevented by all. ||68|| |
Naaheetaree waadhe saampradaayikataa | jaatiyataa, vyaktinishthata |
otherwise, such difference of opinion, egoistic objections and opposition can create and grow groupism, castism and subjectivity in the village which will result in breaking up the village into pieces in a very short time. ||69|| |
Mhanoni bhedachi nako kaahee | sarvaa manee utsaaha raahee |
Therefore no scope should be given to create a feeling of distinction and of separate identity. All should have such enthusiasm that the whole village is one affectionate undivided family. ||70|| |
Aapule premachi amol sampat | Aapule shramachi mahaan daulat |
All should bear this firmly and profoundly in their minds that our love and affection for each other is our inestimable asset, our physical labour is our greatest and precious estate and property and our mutual co-operation to each other is our true honour and dignity. Let us explain this to all. ||71|| |
Gaavee techi sarvaannee karaave | keertee sphoortine gaava bharaave |
All programmes and celebrations should be arranged in the village very frequently which will inspire all to grow fame and glory of the village and every family will live with peace and happiness. ||72|| |
| DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AND CONSTRUCTIVE OPPOSITION-EFFORTS TO EREDICATE THEM |
Konee ek maage padalaa | Tyaas dusaryaane saambhaalilaa |
If anybody lags behind and becomes restarted in some enactments, other individual should come forward to give him a helping hand. He should take care of him and lift him up to make his all round development. This will also help the village to seek betterment and prosperity. ||73|| |
Gaavaat naahee zagadaa tantaa | konee naahee bolanaar upharaataa |
Then there will be no quarrels and struggles in the village. Nobody will cross any one and converse or argue with him in contradicting manner. All villagers will form their temperaments and inclinations straight, simple, polite and free from vice. ||74|| |
Jaree mata bhinna zaale | taree paahije gavaatachi mitwale |
There may crop up some difference of opinion upon some issues in the villagers. But all these different views should be discussed collectively among the villagers themselves and an amicable convincing way to remove the discontentions of the individuals should be found out. But in any case, these differences should not be taken to the courts or government authorities for their settlements. ||75|| |
Gaavachaa zagadaa gaaveech mite | Niwadnukeeche kaam nawhe khote |
The desputes and struggles should be met out and solved in the village itself. There should be no scope for unfair and false elections which result in breaking up the unity of the village. No inspirating and provoking elements, trying to disturb the peace and unity of the village should be tolerated in the village. Our village should become so beautiful in this manner. ||76|| |
Aise saangaayaa waataavaa abhimaan | Techi khare gaavaache bhooshana |
We should feel proud of telling others that our village is ideal and beautiful. These are real adorations and honours of the village. All villagers in the village should be noble, virtueous and thorough gentlemen. They should have deep affection and love for each other. ||77|| |
Yaat konee unaad disalaa | Tyaasi upadesh dyaavaa chaangalaa |
However, if we find anybody playing truant or mischief as a vagabond, all should guide him with good and moral precept. If inspite of such hints, advices and warnings he does not improve his behaviour, and turns a deaf ear, the village should disown him. ||78|| |
Jyaane gaavaat dhingaanaa ghaatalaa | To gaava-ghatakeech tharalaa |
If this vagabond continues to behave adamantly, creates boisterous romping insolently, he may prove greatly harmful to the prestige of the village. So adopting the peaceful and friendly measures, all should try to improve him and to bring him on the right path. ||79|| |
Mag sarraannee miloni tharawaave | yaache pudhe kaaya karaave |
All villagers should then take an unanimous decision about what steps are to be taken about that individual. If they find no other solution and any possible remedies to bring a good change in him, all villagers should take a firm decision by all hands to banish him from the village and send him to some another village. ||80|| |
Mag tyaas na miley saamaan | Athawaa tyaache asalele dhana |
Then nobody should provide him anything that he needs to live his daily life. Moreover, all his money and wealth should be confiscated by the village and should not be returned to him for maintaining his life. Then he will have no other go except deserting the village in abashment and disgracefully. ||81|| |
Aise balakalpan java naahee | Tava aadarsha gaava tamaashaach raahee |
unless such strict steps are taken firmly, the experiment of making the village an ideal one will become a foul display of tamasha and all efforts will become fruitless. The village cannot attain the stability and sound footing. ||82|| |
| THE VILLAGE COMMITTEE, PANCHAAYAT, ITS IMPORTANCE AND DUTIES |
Yaavari shrotaa prashna karee | gaavaat adachanee naanaaparee |
A listener presented a difficulty upon this discussion. He said, "There are many problems and difficulties in the village. How can allvillegers come together to solve and overcome all those discripancies andproblems? ||83|| |
Sarvachi paahatee kaarbhar | Tari kemwhaa karaave kaam itara? |
If all villagers are expected to come together to run the working and activities for solving all these problems, very frequently, how can they attend to all their individual duties of their household life? who will attend to them for? Now tell us how can the stability be maintained by enganging all in this work? ||84|| |
Aikaa yaache samaadhaan | karaavee ek samitee nirmaan |
(Maharaj replies)-"Now listen to the solution of this problem All villagers should come together and choose their representatives to enact as the workers for the village. These selected representatives should form a village committee. ||85|| |

For this committee, such individuals should be chosen as the representatives who are ready to offer all their possessions & belongings, who will offer their physical labour, whole heart and wealth for the betterment of the village. They can only become the members of this village committee. ||86|| |
Tyaannaa sabhasad karaave | Tyaatoon paachjan niwadaave |
From among these selected members, who are ready to offer all their belongings to the village, five individuals should be chosen out without any prejudice. These five individuals should be reputed and known for their honesty and righteousness. ||87|| |

All of them should be provided plenty of activities and projects. All these five chosen members (pancha) should look after the funds and finances of the whole village and the whole management and responsibilities of the village should be handed over to them. ||89|| |
Sarvaannee aapaapale kaam karaave | vikane, ghene panchaannee paahave |
All other villagers should attend to their routine duties and necessary household work or their professions. These five panch of the committee will make purchases of the goods for the village, they will arrange to sell the goods as needed by the villagers. These panchas will provide all tools and other requirements to run the industries and professions of the workers and they will be responsible to run the whole administration of the village life. ||90|| |
Gaavaakaritaa maarg jodaavaa | gaavaakaritaa vyaapaar pudhe nyaavaa |
The committee and the five punch should get a road prepared to join the village to the main highway. They should try to grow the trade of the village and create and develop many more concerns and relations with nearby cities, towns and villages. Thus they should try in every way to make the village happy. ||91|| |
Gaavaatoon je dravya jaave | maal, manushyabal, saamaan barave |
All the goods, funds, manpower, things and articles which are to be exported from the village, should be very carefully examined by the panch committee before allowing them to pass out. ||92|| |
sarvachi yojana panchaa varatee | konaachechi naahee itaraa haatee |
The panchas are empowered to make all plans and run every business of the village. All other remaining villagers should be spared to work more and more for the prosperity of all and the village. ||93|| |
Ekadaa yethe ananya zaale | Te vyaapaar chintepaasooni sutale |
Those, who have offered themselves to the village family, have now been rid of all worries and cares of running the give and take business. Now they can attend their legitimate duties and can become the selfless and desireless devotees of God. ||94|| |
Panch mhanaje prameshwar doot | sarvaanchee chintaa karee nischit |
The panchas are the messengers of God. They will definitely take every care of all. None should have any doubt or difference of opinion about this. ||95|| |
Tayaannee sarva kaalajee ghyaavee | gaavachi janataa sukhee thewaavee |
Thus, the panch committee should take every care of the village and try their best to make the villagers happy. In return, the villagers should promptyly rush and attend the call of the panchas and should politely accept and obey all decisions taken by them. ||96|| |
Graamee janataa asel mothee | pari tee panchaa pudhe dhaakutee |
There may be some elderly individuals in the village - older in age - than the panch members but theyshould be obedient and polite before the panchas; because they have put even their lives at stake for the service to the betterment of the village. ||97|| |
Panch bolale te ved pramaan | heech gaavadharmaachee khoon |
Whatever the panchas tell us, we should hold it no less than the sacred quotations from the holy vedas. In my opinion, the idealism of the village lies in such retention. ||98|| |
Aamuche gaava ek kutumba | panch tayaachaa mool stambha |
Our village is our individed family. The panchas are the supporting pillars of the tent in the form of our village. This tent will remain safe and secure under the righteous control and power of equal justice for all. The judiciary and the institution of justice is the apex of this tent. ||99|| |
| THE PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY THE PUBLIC FOR THE TOTAL SUCCESS OF THE DEMOCRACY |
Nasataa konaachehi shasana | Nyaayaane waagatee satyayugee jana |
In the `Age of Truth' (satya yuga) the masses used to live following righteousness and justice. The same system of self righteous control has reflectd in today's democracy, public rule and the panchayat system. ||100|| |
Yaa yojaneche ekachi marana | Tehi deto lakhshaat aanona |
There is one killing drawback which is harmful to our ownself. Now I am going to tell you about it. If you choose inferior and substandard individuals as the panch for your village, it will prove dangerous and harmful to your life. ||101|| |
Sevaaheenaanchee panchaayat | Tee gaavaas kareel panchaayit |
If you handover all the administration and management of your village panchayat to such drones who don't want to render their services to the humanity and their village people, then instead of seeking happiness and satisfaction in life, you will have to face cares and calamities. The democracy means the earnest desire of people to enthrone themselves as the rulers. ||102|| |
Lokshaahee mhanaje lokaanche hita | lokaankadoni whaave haato haat |
The democracy means to seek the welfare of the people, with the mutual co-opertion of people and by the people. The whole public of the nation are the lords (masters) of the nation. People should understand this and all should behave as the responsible citizens of the country. ||103|| |
Teech mhanaavee lokashaahee | jethe konee kaamchukar naahee |
It is the true form of democracy where nobody avoids extracting hard work and never shirks his duties. All people in democratic nation should be promt in rendering services, enthusiastic and righteous. ||104|| |
Lokashaaheet jo sattaadhaaree | To maalak nawhechi nirdhaaree |
In democrcy the individual, who holds the ruling powers and reins of the government is not the master of the country. He is the authoritative administrator of the people in the democratic rule. The ruling individual should thoroughly realise this responsibility. ||105|| |
Sarva lok kaarya tatpara | Tyaahooni vishesh jo dhurandhar |
All villagers should always be prompt and everready to extract hard work and render services to people. In this regard, one, who is always ahead of all, he can be the true chief officer, panch or the leader of the village. ||106|| |
Panch to ase aamuchyaateel | adhik kaamkartaa, aachaarsheel |
Among all the villagers, the individual who is always ready to render his labourious services, who is well behaved and bearing good moral charactor and who inhesitantly gets ready to sweep and clean every the latrines also, should be considered worthy of becoming the panch of the village. ||107|| |
Adhik suralit kaam kareel | nemaane, nishthene raaheel |
One, who enacts in proper and smooth legal ways, in a very fair and normal way, who mantains regularity in attending his duties and who is loyal and devoted to the service of the village can become the leading officer and the administrator or our village by virtue of his qualities. ||108|| |
Yethe mahatwa sadgunaanche | dhaadasaache, swaartha tyaagaache |
Here, in becoming the administrators of the village rule, the virtues, daring and dashing abilities, readiness to sacrifice the selfish gains are very important and extremely essential. Those, who consider the village and villagers as god and devotely render their humble services, can only become the leaders of the village. ||109|| |
Jyaane gaavachi deva maanilaa | sevaa kaaryaachaa mantra japalaa |
The villagers also should admire and respect him who always held the village with great adoration as God and who has always reiterated the incantation of service to the village by actually putting himself in active, practical work for the village. ||110|| |
Tochi panch ati saatwik | gaava maanee jagnnaayak |
One, who holds the village with devotion as God-jagannayak, who is extremely virtueous and pious, who treats his service to the village as the mahapooja, who does not enact any other spiritual and devotional practice except service to the village, should be chosen as the panch for the village. ||111|| |
Tyaalaa naahee dusaraa dharma | Tyaalaa naahee dusare karma |
He does not know any religion other than service to the village. He does not have any other activity but for service to the village. Such service is his only activity the whole day and night. ||112|| |
Tyaache sarvaswa aamuchyaa karitaa | mhanonich to aamuchaa pita |
All his energies, devotion and possessions are entirely for the villagers. so we hold him with a great honour and respect as our loving father. In this regard, caste, religion, faith and such other differences carry no least importance. ||113|| |
Tochi panch niwadaavaa | shraddhaa vichaare olakhaavaa |
Such an individual should be chosen as the village panch. He should be recognised by his faith, devotion and high thinking. In choosing such person as a punch, no commotion and boisterous enactments through groupism should be allowed and tolerated. ||114|| |
Karaave sakalaanchyaa hitaache | Tethe vyaktitwachi nako aamuche |
We should forget our individuality and enact in favour of the common welfare of all villagers. Only such individual should be chosen as our leader who brings more betterment and seeks more welfare of the villagers. ||115|| |
| THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PANCHA AND THE CONCEPT OF Ram-rajya |
Sajjanaanche asaave panchmandal | je gaavaa chaalavee sarvakaal |
The panch committee should be formed from among the most virtueous, moral and noble individuals. They should spend all their time in the activities of service to the village and the villagers. They should consider the whole village as their family. ||116|| |
Parasparaannaa ghewooni chaalaave | parasparaanche rhudaya ek whaave |
All members of the panch committee should maintain harmonious and mutual co-coperation among them. All should form one mind and one soul in public work. If any flaw or drawback is found in the welfare and betterment of the village, the panch committee should take the responsibility of it considering it as the flaw or fault on their part. ||117|| |
Aapulyaa vyakti-kutumbaa karitaa | na whaavee gaavaachee avyawasthaa |
They should sow such a broad vision in all social workers that the village administration should not suffer any loss, harm or mismanagement just to guard the interest of their own individual self or for the welfare of their families. ||118|| |
Anyaaye peedaa na whaavee konaas | na whaavaa mungeelaahi traas |
All the heads and leaders should always be aware and cautious of any harm that may be done to anybody. Even an ant also should not suffer any trouble in their administration. All people and heads should hold this awareness and consciousness at all times. ||119|| |
Sarvajanik vastu gharee bhogane | aapt janaansi sawalatee dene |
The panch committee, heads and leaders should always avoid using the public properties, for their private conveniences at their residences. Also, they should avoid favouring their relatives and close friends by any kind of undue concessions. They should only and necessarily render their services to the people. ||120|| |
Aapulaa duraagraha doora saaraavaa | bahujanaanchaa maagowaa ghyaavaa |
All the heads must give up their individual wilfulness and adamant insistance of their minds. They should find out the inclination of majority and accept it respectfully. The administration of the village must run unanimously. ||121|| |
Paachaamukhee parameshwar | pari nako sattechaa ahankaar |
There is no doubt that according to dogma `paachaa mukhee parameshwar' i.e. God speaks through the mouths of five wisemen.' the five panchas are alike God to the villagers.But they should not become proud of the rulling power which the village has given to them. When any particular rule is accepted by all hands, all must follow it gladly and promptly. ||122|| |
Sarvaannee sarvaansaathee zataave | sarvaanchyaa hitaat swahit paahavve |
All should work assiduously and earnestly for all. They should always consider that their betterment and welfare lies in the betterment and welfare of all others. The elders, heads and erudite personages in the village should place ideal and model lessons through their practical behaviour before all other villagers. ||123|| |
Yaathachi aahe mothepana | Graam jeevan hoyee swayamporna |
Here in this only lies the greatness and magnitude of the village and the villagers. This is an identical characterestic of the ideal rule of the village only. It will make the village life happy. ||124|| |
Graamraajyachi Ramraajya | swaavalamban heychi swaraajya |
In fact, The rule of the village (graam rajya) means the rule of Lord Ram. Swarajya (self government) means to become self reliant. Mahatma Gandhi, the most excellently & highly respectable and adorable to the whole world has once quoted so. The same concept has been elaborated extensively in this chapter titled as `BHOO-VAIKUNTHA' ||125|| |
Amache graamachi ek raajya | sarvaanche maaher avibhaajya |
We shall always consider our village as our own kingdom. It will be the undivisible mother home for all. so those, who live an ideal life (as describerd in this chapter) will be considered as our affectionate close relatives. ||126|| |
Dusare gaava shatru nohe | pari aamuchaa sambandha kaamee raahe |
We shall never hold other villages as our enemies. But we are related to only our duties and activities. All our panch committee will extend their heartiest co-operation to maintain good and affectionate relations with other villages around our village. ||127|| |
Panch mandal nishthene raahee | te te gaava bhoo-vaikuntha hoyee |
Every village,where the panch committee is loyal and dutiful to the village will surely become the bhoo-vaikuntha i.e. heaven upon this earth. This earth will become sacred and holy automatically and naturally through the sacred influence of that village. ||128|| |
Aise java gaava saadhale | Tava te praantaat pramukh zaale |
In this way, the village, which has sought its upliftment and prosperity will become an adoration of the district. If every district becomes influencial like this, then it will be an adoration to the country. ||129|| |
Desh aisaa unnat hoya | tochi vishwaachaa ghatak shantimaya |
Every country, which seeks its upliftment and prosperity will be determined as the element of divine peace of the universe. Otherwise the country which looks after only its own selfish gains will prove harmful and disasterous to the divine peace of the universe. ||130|| |
Mhanoni aikaa lakhsha laawoon | swarga karaavaa jagee nirmaan |
(Finally, Sant Shree Tukadoji Maharaj advises) Listen carefully and attentively. If you want to bring the heaven upon this earth, then offer yourself with your whole family to the truth of collectivity. ||131|| |
Ghyaa waachoon karaa taatadee | mag manan karoni aawadee |
Read this chapter carefully. Meditate upon the thoughts in it with interest. offer your all possessions and leap into this scheme of universal welfare. ||132|| |
Shroteho! aikile kaaya vachanaa? mag vel kaasayaasi punhaa? |
O listeners! have you listened to my words? Don't waste time now offer your heart and soul, body and wealth to this work. ||133|| |
Yaanech thoraanchee ichchha saphal | saarthakee laage dnyaan, bhaktisakala |
(Vandaniya Tukadojee maharaj promises) This can only fulfil the earnest desire of great thinkers to make this world like the heaven. This will only make your knowledge and devotion divinely fruitful. This will remove all worries and cares in your houselife and of spiritual gains. ||134|| |
Iti Shree Graamgeetaa grantha | Guru-shaastra-swaanubhava sammata |
This Graamgeeta scripture is well consented by Guru, shastraas and self experiences. This Thirty ninth Chapter describing the greatness of an ideal village rule is hereby concluded. ||135|| |
||Sadgurunaath maharaaj kee jay||

| VOLITIONS |
| 1 There might be some place existing some where, where there would be no differences as the faiths, castes and communities etc. Such place can be called as the VAIKUNTHAPURI. Where there is not a slightest sense of alienment, it is called the `BHOO-VAIKUNTHA'. We all resolve that we shall associate with it. 2 The divine principle is `All are equal'. Following it we shall build up a new village (which is called the Bhoo-vaikuntha) 3 All marriages of the boys and the girls in the village should be performed at same hour and at the same place. It should be a common collective marriage ceremony. We shall not allow to squander a lot of money on marriages. We shall design a plan for celebrating the collective marriages from the funds raised by the villagers. We shall fix the time and date for such common collective marriage ceremony considering the pleasant season and time, favourable water and climatic condition etc. 4 All villagers should become the members of the village by offering all their possessions to the Ideal Village. None should live away from this village family. We shall offer our `all' and become the member of the Bhoo-vaikuntha. 5 None should hold the slightest idea of his separate identity. To grow the harmonious infegrety in all as one family, we shall hold lectures and sermouns in every village on the upliftment of the villages and we shall arrange the lessons of knowledge to keep this spirit alive. |
