He was probably right. Mardhekar's output of good poems is not much larger than that of Keshavsut and Balkavi.<br /><br />I feel the greatest Marathi language poet since the dawn of 18th century is Arun Kolatkar, although he is a dwarf in front of the giants of Marathi poetry: Dnyaneshwar, Namdev, Eknath, Tukaram, Ramdas.Aniruddha G.

But what he wrote was beyond our understanding in simpler way. A poet always writes in his own style and sometimes it requires help from inteluctuals. Mardhekar was again an exception to all the poets.<br />Mangesh Nabarmannabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475762165895534177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37823526.post-53126568880871686542009-12-06T13:47:54.488+05:302009-12-06T13:47:54.488+05:30No one else has written in Marathi on Indian poet...No one else has written in Marathi on Indian poet saints- and not just Marathi speaking ones- as well as Vinoba.<br /><br />And our poet saints are among the best artists humanity produced since the start of the history.Aniruddha G.

Buddha has said: life is suffering. Vani may have asked god for something mundane. But in death, in his release from the misery of life, perhaps he received his ultimate blessing!Aniruddha G.
