No wonder ‘Rajkavi’ Bha Ra Ta is remembered as: 

• A linguist who wrote in Marathi, Sanskrit, Hindi, English and Urdu. Robert Browning is said to have been amongst his favorite English poet.
  
  
• A Marathi poet who had profound knowledge of Hindustani Classical Music. Elders told us he could discuss nuances of Hindustani Classical Music with likes of Pandit Gune and other greats of his time. In return those stalwarts would sing his poems. No wonder, in most cases he has recommended the ‘raag’ that would be apt to convey the meaning of his poems. More-over the stanzas are written in a meter that allows composers to experiment with tune, rhythm, background etc. as they think would suit the lyrics.
  
  
• A legend who thought and wrote differently than his contemporaries. 
  
  
• A ‘samskara’ blessed by Goddess Saraswati who conveyed a range of human sentiments through his writings.
  
  
• One who portrayed love and affection, melancholy and sorrow, romance and playful innocence, past and future linked to philosophy of life in simple words.
  
  
• The one who inspired Poets and Writers of his time.
  
  
• While many know his published poems by heart a similar number of scholars can recite his un-published poems!
