• A story about the book Sri Gnaneshwari - Srimad Bhagavad Gita:
The Sri Gnaneshwari, sometimes known as Bhavarth Deepika, is an iconic 13th-century commentary on the Srimad Bhagavad Gita that was written by the saint-poet Sant Jnaneshwar Maharaj when he was just sixteen years old. During a period when spiritual wisdom was mostly limited to academics, Jnaneshwar undertook the holy mission of translating the teachings of the Gita into Marathi verse, the language of the common people of Maharashtra, in order to make it available to everyone.
The Gnaneshwari is based on the Kurukshetra battlefield, where Arjuna receives Lord Krishna's ageless teachings on karma, dharma, devotion, and spiritual liberation. Although the holy discourse between Arjuna and Krishna is the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Sri Gnaneshwari becomes its soulful voice—explaining each stanza with not only clarity but also emotional depth, poetic rhythm, and spiritual brightness.
The Gnaneshwari is a devotional book that brings the Gita's spiritual teachings to life, rather than merely translating it. The reader is able to experience a close connection to the Divine message since each verse is filled with metaphors, similes, and parables from daily life. It is a Hindu religious book and puran book that maintains its universality while honoring the fundamental Vedic and Upanishadic principles.
The Sri Gnaneshwari is a transformative guide that welcomes seekers from all walks of life into the worlds of jnana (knowledge), bhakti (devotion), and karma yoga (path of action), and it is not just a Hindu spiritual book. It is still read with tremendous respect in homes and churches today, not just as a scripture but also as a live discussion with the Divine.
The world received an everlasting light from Sant Jnaneshwar via Sri Gnaneshwari; it has continued to guide, heal, and motivate countless souls across generations.
