Tukaram emerged his work into the river and never discussed religion in public; he gave teachings of truth, peace,kindness and Mercy.Tukaram was a very kind hearted person; he had no interest in Worldly matters; he was always and they engaged himself in adoration of the Lord.
Tukaram was Marathi bhakti poet and devotees of Lord Krishna he was at the time of Jahangir rule Tukaram was a contemporary of Jahangir.The teachings of Bhakti saints, especially Kabir and Guru Nanak Dev ji brought the Hindus and the Muslims closer to each other. Several Muslims became Tam their followers. Their message of religious tolerance and respect for all religions paved the way to bring about a remarkable improvement in the Hindu Muslim relations.
