 This book is an excellent piece of work by one of the greatest Saint and Philosopher Shree Gurudev Ranade. It is a comprehensive reference for anyone interested in understanding the philosophy of Mysticism with reference to the spiritual achievements of Marathi Saints. It sets the context with the definition of Mysticism, introduction to different sects and thoughts in Indian philosophy and mythology, a brief comparison of Mystics all over the world, and parallelism in Indian and western Mystics - from Greek philosophers to Hindi, Kannada and Marathi mystics. After a small account of the historical and biographical contexts, the book then proceeds to detail out the spiritual experiences of Marathi Saints - mainly Dnyaneshwar, Namdev, Eknath, Tukaram and Ramdas. Every single sentence in this book reveals the tremendous depth of Shree Gurudev's study. I wonder so many books He must have gone through to arrive at every small piece of information. This is not just an intellectual feat based on mere references and the logical deductions. His authoritative comments on the spritual experiences of all the Saints can throw a light on the unfathomable depth of his own Spritual experiences. This book is a must read for all aspirants - of any nation, region, religion, caste, class, creed or gender - who are on the path of Self-realization!

Prof. Ranade had been a saint and philosopher as well. He was also a student of Mathematics in earlyhood. His all the approach towards mysticism has a constructive and well planned overview of the subject. It is like finding out pearls from deep oceans of the saints literatures.
