About the Book Shriman Yogi (originally a celebrated Marathi novel by Ranjit Desai ) is a historical biography that vividly portrays the life of Santaji Jagnade – a 17th-century spiritual figure, warrior, and folk hero from Maharashtra, India. Often overshadowed by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in mainstream history, Santaji is revered in local lore as a yogi who wielded a sword, a saint who fought for justice, and a common man who rose to legendary status through his unwavering devotion and courage.
