Question

mention the contribution made by sant jnaneswar to marathi literature

Answer 1

One of the greatest poet saints and philosophers of India was Sant Jnaneshwar who was born in Maharashtra in the 13th century. During this period there was not much knowledge of Sanskrit in Maharashtra and only a miniscule percentage of society followed it. The majority of the people were thus denied the wealth of ancient Hindu scriptures and religious knowledge. Jnaneshwar rose as a very bright star on the horizon of Scriptural knowledge as he was bold enough to go against the strict norms set up by the Brahmins by using the local language Marathi as his vehicle for preaching. His life story is mainly written from legends as only a few parts of his life have been actually recorded by Satchidanand Baba in his book Jnaneshwar Vijay and have been found in the Abhangs composed by another famous Marathi saint Namdeo.
