homes and its translation into various languages continues to inspire millions
of people around the world.
During the time of Sant Dnyaneshwar, the great teachings of
Sanatana Dharma were considered to be the prerogative of certain castes and
sects. Jnaneshwar unleashed a silent revolution against the religious monopoly
and orthodoxy of the narrow-minded priestly class.
Sant Dnyaneshwar was amongst the first to use the local
language of Marathi to spread and demystify the message of the Bhagavad Gita.
He popularized the teachings of Sanatana Dharma and took it to the common man.
