The Bhagavad Gita, one of the most influential Hindu holy books, is the subject of a Marathi-language commentary.
The Jnaneshvari was written by Maharashtrian poet-saint
Jnaneshvar, whose goals in authoring it were to make the Bhagavad Gita
accessible to those who couldn't read it in its original Sanskrit form and to
provide his own scholarly interpretation of the text's contents.
This emphasis on allowing ordinary people full access to religious life was a recurring theme in the (devotional) bhakti movement, and Jnaneshvar, like many other figures, is said to have faced significant opposition from brahmin priests who believed that such advanced teachings should not be revealed to the general public.
