Devotees of Sri Datta have always have a curiosity about the life of Swami Samartha. While trying to understand his personality, his work and the whole purpose of his life, Kardaliwan can hardly be left out as it is a most important part of his biography. It has always been believed to be an inaccessible place and truly very few people have been inside it. And yet, in spite of its difficult location and the aura of mystery that it carries, the forest can be explored if one is so fortunate as to have the blessings of Swami at his back. The author has given many historical references and explanations on various issues connected with Kardaliwan which will help to clear such misunderstandings as prevail in the masses. The work discusses in detail different facets of Kardaliwan, ranging from ecology to spirituality. There are also chapters on such topics like annadana, penance, hospitality, the three incarnations of Sri Datta, the holy Datta places and various chants with their meaning and importance. This makes the work an important reference book for devotees as well as researchers.
