Gyaneshwari, also known as Jñāneśwarī or Dnyaneshwari, is a Marathi bhakti commentary on the Bhagavad Gita that renders the Sanskrit scripture into a devotional and poetic form. Composed in Marathi verse, it seeks to make the subtle teachings of the Gita accessible to ordinary seekers by expressing them in the language and idiom of daily life. Through this work, the lofty philosophical ideas of the Gita are interpreted through the lens of devotion, allowing complex concepts to be approached with the heart as much as with the intellect. It stands as a foundational text of Marathi spiritual literature and is closely associated with the bhakti movement in Maharashtra.

The author of this commentary is Sant Jnaneshwar (also known as Dnyaneshwar or Gyaneshwar), a 13th‑century Marathi saint, poet, philosopher, and yogi. Revered as a great spiritual luminary, he is traditionally understood to have composed this work at a remarkably young age, yet with extraordinary depth and clarity. In the Gyaneshwari, his voice unites philosophical insight with devotional fervor, reflecting both Advaita‑oriented understanding and an emphasis on loving surrender to the Divine. Through this synthesis, the text has served as a guide for generations of seekers who wish to live the teachings of the Gita in a spirit of devotion.
