This modest attempt towards English rendering of ‘Manache Shlok’ a precious poetic work by saint Ramdas will definitely delight, I am sure, lovers and critics alike. I had cherished a dream of undertaking this task years ago. Today the dream is realized by the blessings of the lord. But I must not omit to tender my most sincere thanks to Shri Vinod Sahasrabuddhe who all the time inspired and motivated me to produce this poetic version and who was kind enough to write fluent and lucid explanation of each Shloka in prose. I am also indebted to Smt. Jyoti Dhawale of Keshav Bhikaji Dhawale Prakashan who readily accepted to publish this work of mine. Also I thank Mrs. Godbole, my wife who gave me not a few valuable suggestions while I was translating the original work. Last but not the least, I am thankful to all known and unknown personalities, due to whose efforts, this work has seen the light of the day.
