Saint Muktabai Temple
HistoryEdit
Muktai or Muktabai was a very popular saint of the Varkari tradition. She was born in Deshastha Brahmin family as the younger sister of the first Varkari saint, Dnyaneshwar. She wrote around 41 Abhang(devotional songs) all through her life. Muktabai’s most popular and thoughtful work is “Tati ughada dnaneshwara” which is a piece of conversation with saint Dnyaneshwar. Muktabai always believed that a saint is the one who is open to or can accept criticisms from others, that’s why, she said, “Sant jene vahave; jag bolane sosave”.
