‘लेक व्हावा एैसा गुंडा त्याचा तिन्ही लोकी झेंडा!’ The true meaning of this Maratha saying is understood when we see our king. Oh, what was our king, whose only name made the enemy tremble? It’s hard to put into words. But to put it in one word, only ‘Yugapurush’ (युगपुरूष) can be said about the…
Briefly speaking about the Shivaji Maharaj, he is a king, who was a citizens king and did not belong to any kingdom. Our Maharaj is nothing but a God in human. In true sense, our Maharaj is the king who was awake and aware. Our king was the great king who understood the true meaning…

If you agree with my opinion, take it, if not, leave it. But please don’t argue about it for our Maharaj’s sake. The reason I express this…
In the book Shivbharat also it is recorded that Maharaj was born on a Friday. So could Maharaj really have been born on March 1, 1630? This question has definitely come into your mind. Anyway, except for the date, other aspects are the same. But again a controversy arises regarding Maharaj’s birth year that is…

‘छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराज हे एक महान राष्ट्रीय उध्दारकर्ता होते. ज्यांनी आपला समाज वाचविला आणि जेव्हा जेव्हा आपला संपूर्ण धर्माचा विनाश होण्याचा धोका निर्माण झाला तेव्हा तेव्हा त्यांनी धर्मही वाचविला.’ – शिवशाहीर बाबासाहेब पुरंदरे Translation : Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was a great national savior.
