Monuments erected for the expression of gratitude turn places of
worship and prove superior to letters, however masterly they arc authored.
Being three dimensional, they gratify even the unlettered. Moreover, their life
is longer add utility greater. Hence the first choice for perpetuating the
memory of gratitude extended to persons in return for the immensity of help
received. Among the monumental monuments, the state of Maharashtra claims
the one
at Alandi, built in memory of that immortal Jnaneswar Maharaj has a long history
of the builders, and longer one for whom it is built.
The
state of Maharashtra, the erstwhile Bombay state in extent and spirit has a
singularity inimitable in almost all spheres of human action. Their longing for
excellence in objects of eternal significance, seeking means for attainment of
the laudable goals; modes of tools utilised, endurance displayed during the
course of operation; reacting to the receipt of fruit, and ways implemented to
distributing and preserving the acquired are sublime, supreme and superb.
