मुक्ताबाई, संत ज्ञानेश्वरांची सर्वात धाकटी बहीण, हिचा पाया अध्यात्मिक होता. मुक्ताबाईने चांगदेवाचे गर्वहरण केले. मुक्ताबाईंनी आपल्या अध्यात्मिक सामर्थ्याने ज्ञानदेवांच्या पाठीवर मांडे भाजले होते. Muktaba's life was brief but she enlightened thousands of people by her striking personality, which helped to enhance the greatness of her brothers too. She was struck by lightening and reached the abode of God when she was barely eighteen. Muktabai is honoured to this day and regarded as one of the pioneers of the Varakari cult. The story of Muktabai is chiefly bound up with that of Jnanadev, one of her brothers. The other two brothers being Nivritti and Sopan. They were the four children of Vitthalpant and Rukmabai Kulkarni of Apegaon, who lived on the banks of the river Godavari near Pai then in Alandi. Muktabai was the youngest child and has been regarded as the incarnation of Devi Saraswati or Adi-Shakti.
