Life Story
Unfortunately nothing is known about Saraswati Gangadhar's life and death. But it appears that he was not born when Shri Narasimha Saraswati was alive (Possibly 1378AD to 1458AD). It is also not possible that he may have had contact with one of the disciples, say "Siddha" of Shri Narasimha Saraswati. However, he must have had access to the Sanskrit Gurucharitra written by Shri Siddha. There is no version or copy of this original Sanskrit Gurucharitra available anywhere, so this is just a guess. Later in the 19th-20th century, Shri Vasudevanand Saraswati alias Tembe Swami (1854AD-1914AD) wrote the Sanskrit version of Shri GuruCharitra.
Saraswati Gangadhar is truly great as a poet, because he describes many events (even the mythological ones) with such a great sense of power, that he shows that exceptional level of expression in words which is very rare. This makes him one of the greatest among the Marathi poets. He lived in village Kadaganchi now located in Karnataka.
