It’s a journey which cannot be just travelled by time but with swords, shield and intense courage. Let’s go back in 1600, Bharat was tired and feared by the mughal rule. Destruction of temples and buring idols of god into the steps of big Mosques, or even in mazars was going very normally in all over the Bharat, Kidnapping and then doing unimaginable atrocities on Hindu girls or even Maharanis, those cries nude marches on the road before getting gangraped by minimum 20-30 muslims everyday, and even ruthless thing was that those women were having babies the ruthless muslim used to take out their heart and feed them to their mothers forcibly. There’s one example also of Ajmer Sharif Dargah of Moinuddin Chisti . He was the one who provoked Mohammed Ghori 16 times to invade india and idols are buried now also buried under steps, In India every there’s a temple under a mosque. After killing prithviraj chauhan Moinuddin Chisti said :- We have conquered India with great difficulty, after the killing of prithviraj his wife will now share bed with my disciple Mohammed Ghori. And we hindus offer prayers to the Ajmer Sharif Dargah. We are getting to know after 75 years of independence because of 2 big “M” and 1 big “N” which is Marx and Macaulay and N for Nehru. So, overall Bharat and our Sanatani ancestors were totally deprived because of this. But then in 1630 this dark night got a spark and that spark was Shivaji, who took oath at the age of 16 that I will establish a strong, intellectual and spiritual Hindu civilization again in my Motherland (BHARAT). At that time Bharat was divided by various invader groups. The Qutub Shahi, The Adil Shahi and Mughals. Veer Marathas drastically vandalised the adil and qutub shahi. Battle of Kolhapur was a land battle that took place on 28 Dec 1659 in Kolhapur between shivaji and Rustam Zaman of Adilshah. Marathas defeated 10000 adilshahi soldiers with only 5000. This battle fully broke the adilshahi. Qutub Shahi was ended by tactics. Now a strong opponent was infront of Aurangzeb named “SHIVAJI”. Shivaji was a champion of Guerilla Tactics by the grace of his mother Maa Saaheb Jijabai. Physical Teacher Dadoji Kondev and spiritual guru Samarth Ramdas Gosawi taught him how to fight subconsciously.
Shivaji maharaj got support of some extraordinary warriors like Bajiprabhu Deshpande, Tanhaji Malusare, Jivaji Mahalle, Bahirji Naik, Hambirrao Mohite, Prataprao Gujar, Siddi Hilal and many more. Every king gets a chance in which he can become the greatest in all. Shivaji maharaj also got a chance against bijapur. Maratha conquests series in Indian Subcontinent which played major role for Shivaji. He started more conquests ultimately leading to victory in 1659 at battle of Pratapgad against Bijapur. Poet Bhushan said for shivaji then just like Indra is for Vrittasur, Lava is for sea, for ravan is lord rama, wind is for clouds, lord shiva is for kamdev, for sahastrabahu is parshuram, wildfire is for forests, garud is for birds, for deer is the deer-king, lord krishna is for kansa, light is for darkness, Likewise..For Mughal Dynasty is the lion shivaji. And then on, 1st June 1674 Maa Jijabai forced shivaji that now he is capable to be called as Chhatrapati and after that on 6 june 1674 Veer Shivaji became Veer Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on Raigad with Vedic chantings all over the fort. He then ruled his domain for six years, through a cabinet of eight ministers. A devout Hindu who prided himself as the protector of his Dharma. Yet even though Christians and Muslims often imposed their creeds on the populace by force, he respected the beliefs and protected the places of worship of both communities. Many Muslims were also in his service like Madari Mehtar. Shivaji had several wives but only for Hindu improvement not for self-satisfaction. To destroy Alamgir’s existence now a Chhatrapati was risen. There south kingdom was from Salher to Thanjavur. After death of this great person Alamgir came to Deccan but after 27 years of fighting also he got nothing and died in Aurangabad which is now Sambhaji Nagar. Veer Marathas brought back the lost Hindu confidence in Hindus, keeping Islamic invaders aside Maratha Kingdom captured whole Bharat. Shivaji breathed new life into a moribund race that for centuries had resigned itself to abject serfdom and led them against Aurangzeb, Above all, in a place and age stained by religious savagery, he was one of the rulers who practiced true Dharmic Tolerance. There’s a lot to learn from our Veer Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. I pay my humble respect to the great warrior, and I hope that we all will try to keep his legacy on and onn and become Vishwaguru…🙏🚩
