Review:

“The Jnaneshvari is so exquisite, so beautiful, so highly poetic in its metaphors and similes, so lucid in style, so rich in fantasy, so delightful in its imagery, so sublime in tone, and so pure in taste that, not withstanding the profundity and the inevitable limitations forced upon the author whose object was to make The Bhagavad Gita intelligible rather than to add anything new, the reader is simply fascinated and floats rapturously on the crest of flow until all is thanksgiving and there is no thought.” --Professor W.B. Patwarden
