Jnaneshwari

Jnaneswari is one of the most popular commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita, written 700 years ago by Sant Jnaneswar—among the foremost saints of Maharashtra. This precious gem, which still exercises a profound influence on Maharashtrian society, is known for the beauty of its expression and the clarity of its thought. Its contribution to spiritual knowledge is widely recognised, as is its literary value.

(Translated into Malayalam by Sri M. P. Chandrasekharan Pillai, this work won the Kendriya Sahitya Academy Award in 1996).
