`SANJEEVAN` IS AN EMOTIONAL NOVEL WRITTEN BY ACCLAIMED WRITER B. D. KHER BASED ON THE LIFE OF DNYANESHWAR MAHARAJ, FONDLY CALLED `MAULI` – MEANING “MOTHER” BY THE VARKARI SAMPRADAYA. COMMENTARY ON BHAGAVAD GITA WRITTEN BY DNYANESHWAR MAHARAJ, KNOWN AS ‘BHAVARTHA DEEPIKA` OR `DNYANESHWARI` IS THE CORE OF EVERY DEVOTEE`S FAITH. B. D. KHER IN HIS NOVEL `SANJEEVAN` HAS DESCRIBED THE EVENTS RIGHT FROM THE MARRIAGE OF VITTHALPANT-RUKMINI (DNYANESHWAR`S PARENTS) TO DNYANESHWAR MAHARAJ`S SANJEEVAN SAMADHI. KHER`S LUCID WRITING STYLE ENGROSSES THE READERS AND MAKES READING ENJOYABLE. THE EMOTIONAL AND COMPASSIONATE SCENES IN THE NOVEL MAKE IT INTERESTING. AS THE SUPREME SHOULD TAKE ON A HUMAN BODY AND MERGE WITH THE SELF AFTER THE END OF INCARNATION, THE SANJEEVAN SAMADHI CEREMONY OF DNYANESHWAR MAHARAJ IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE NOVEL.
