He understands well that a biographer needs to analyze and explain the psyche of people through legends and mythology; and he does it well. I am sure that Dr. Deore's book will prove beneficial for the study of literature based on saints biographies. </p><p>- Dr. Pradeep Karnik. </p><p> </p><p> Manus Jeva Dev Hoto is a reference work authored with a view to honouring a Veergal.
