Jnaneshwari is a commentary on the Bhagavad Gita completed in 1290 C.E. by the poet-saint Jnaneshwar. Swami Kripananda has simply put the Jnaneshwari into the contemporary English idiom in rather the same way that Robert Bly put Tagore's translation of Kabir into contemporary language.

A wish-fulfilling gem,

This review is from: Jnaneshwar's Gita: A Rendering of the Jnaneshwari (Paperback)
I recently purchased my second copy of this book. The Jnaneshwari is an amazing window into the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. A hallmark of this work is the beauty of the language Jnaneshwar Maharaj uses to unpack and explain the many subtleties in the Bhagavad Gita's verses. I've read many translations of this work and Swami Kripananda's approach is by far the most heart-felt and inspiring.

So Beautiful,
By Wary Traveler (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jnaneshwar's Gita: A Rendering of the Jnaneshwari (Paperback)
I wholeheartedly agree with the previous review. I was going through a rough time in my life when I noticed a non-hindu friend reading from this book. The poetry and meaning are simply beautiful. I had forgotten the power of meditation and faith(not religion). But the truths contained in this translation are absolutely undeniable. This book has changed my life and I read from it every day. I wish that I could share it with everyone...

This review is from: Jnaneshwar's Gita: A Rendering of the Jnaneshwari (Paperback)
This is a fabulous interpretation of a timeless epic. I have always been spiritual but have never identified with or even trusted religion. However, in spite of my skepticism, I could not deny the truths that were put before me in this book. I was able to easily understand and apply the teachings that were imparted by the writer. There is huge amounts of beauty and power in the translation. Jnanadeva, an Indian prince, lived in the thirteenth century. He used his great vision and wisdom to achieve a simple and poetic work based on a massive collection of ancient writings. It has truly improved my health, relationships, and sense of spirituality immeasurably. I highly recommend it!
