The Dnyaaneshwari is the commentary on Bhagavad Gita written by Marathi saint poet Dnyaneshwar. This is not only a scholarly work, but also has aesthetic value. It gave a philosophical base for the movement of Bhagawata Dharma, a Bhakti sect which created a lasting effect on the history of Maharashtra. The Dnyaaneshwari became one of the sacred books i.e. Prasthanatrai of Bhagawata Dharma, along with Ekanathi Bhagawata and Tukaram Gaathaa. It is one of the great foundations of Marathi literature.
