One of the great King Shivaji
by rahul on Mar 13, 2008 03:58 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

I get astonished by King Shivaji's life whenever I read about him. He was a true patriot who inspired others with his prowess and raised a kingdom out of nothing. The great thing is, in the process he never missed a chance to follow his Dharma.

There was a situation when Shivaji's army defeated a Mughal occupied town. Some of the armymen came across a vey stunning and outstandingly beautiful mughal woman whom they thought to show to King Shivaji and see her as their queen. But, when they put the woman infront of Shivaji, he appreciated her beauty by saying that if my mother would have been so beautiful I would have also been so beautiful. And then respectfully let her return to her family.

Such a dignity and utterness in Dharma were well known qualities of King Shivaji. That's why they say -

"Divyatvachi Jethe Prachiti, Tethe Kar Maze Julati"

I understood prop muha**mad father was unknown intially and later his mother had problems recognising the right one and finally picked up her own brother as his father!!!

For you there is a great saying in English... "About the left side of your brain there is nothing right, and of the right side of your brain there is nothing left"
