SHIVAJI's ROYAL SEAL....

The Jagir was already administered in the name of Shivaji. Shahaji Raje had cast a special royal seal for Shivaji.

The Royal Seal


  ॥ प्रतिपच्चंद्रलेखे व वर्धिष्णुर्विश्र्ववंदित शाहसुनो:शिवस्यैषा मुद्रा भद्राय राजते ॥

'This seal'l grow in splendour like the new moon. This seal of Shivaji, the son of Shahaji, receiving homage from the whole world denotes the walefare of the people.' This Royal Seal was happy omen of SWARAJ.

In those days most of the royal seal were carved in Persian. Shivaji's was in SANSKRIT. This was a significant change. There could be no Swaraj without your own language and your own religion. But at the same time, there should not be a harted for other religions. The seal was a gaurantee to all the Mavlas that Shivaji's Government was for the welfare of the people. They were quick to grasp this point.

THE OATH OF SWARAJYA....!

    Shivaji got fresh inspiration from their words. Looking at each one of them said,''friends, our path is clear. We shall all strive to attain our ideal, work for it till it is achived. The ideal is 'Hindavi Swaraj'.  We will have our own Raj, yours and mine and everybody's. We refuse to live as slaves any more. Let us take this oath with Lord Raireshwar as witness; we give ourselves completly to the great task of establishing our own Raj, Swaraj.''

The temple echoed the words of Shivaji. ''God thinks that this Kingdom should take shape as Hindavi Swaraj. We shall see that God's wish is fulfilled.''

The Oath Of Swaraj

so the Mavlas left the temple, commited to the oath of freedom, of Swaraj. The mind of Shivaji Raje was filled with great joy. As soon as he reached Pune he went straight to Lal Mahal to see his mother. He described to her all that took place at Raireshwar. Overjoyed, Jijabai through with satisfaction that Shivaji would accomplish what was always in her mind.

SHIVAJI RAJE'S BATTLE OF PRATAPGAD...

BATTLE OF PRATAPGAD...

Pratapgad fort:

In the ensuing Battle of Pratapgarh fought on 10 November 1659, Shivaji's forces decisively defeated the Vijapur Sultanate's forces. The agile Maratha infantry and cavalry inflicted rapid strikes on Vijapuri units, attacked the Vijapuri cavalry before it was prepared for battle, and pursued retreating troops toward Wai. More than 3,000 soldiers of the Vijapur army were killed and two sons of Afzal Khan were taken as prisoners.
This unexpected and unlikely victory made Shivaji a hero of Maratha folklore and a legendary figure among his people. The large quantities of captured weapons, horses, armour and other materials helped to strengthen the nascent and emerging Maratha army. The Mughal emperor Aurangzeb now identified Shivaji as a major threat to the mighty Mughal Empire. Soon thereafter Shivaji, Shahaji and Netaji Palkar (the chief of the Maratha cavalry) decided to attack and defeat the Adilshahi kingdom at Vijapur.

SHIVAJI RAJE'S CHILDHOOD...!

BIRTH OF SHIVAJI:
those very unsettled days.Shahajan from the North had despatched a big army to conquer the Deccan,Pune.The principal town of Shahaji Raje's Jagir was burned to the ground by Adilshah of Bijapur.Shahaji Raje was in real trouble.He was constantly on the run.
Jijabai was pregnant and the great question which worried Shahaji Raje was some place where she could remain in safety and peace.Then he remembered the Shivneri fort and decided to send Jijabai there.Shivneri was a strong fort near Junner in Pune district.It had steep hills on four sides,strong fortifications and massive doors.This strong fort was then in charge of Vijayraj, a relative of Bhosales.He agreed to give protection against moughuls.
And then the golden day dawned. On the aspicious day of Phalgun Vadya Tritiya, in the year 1551 of the Shaka era, that is, on 19 February 1630, to the sound of pipes
and drums playing in the 'Nagar Khana', Jijabai gave birth to a son. All the residents of the fort were overjoyed. On the 12th day with appropriate ceremoney, the child was named “Shivaji” as the child born on Fort Shivneri.
                 Shivaji passed the 1st 6 years of his life in highly unsettled conditions. Even so, Jijabai didn't neglect his education. Every evening she would light the household lamps and then call Shivaji to her. She would shower all her affection on him & tell him stories of Ram & Krishna, of Bheem and Abhimanyu. On other occations she would recite to him the devotional songs of Dnyaneshwar,Namdev & Eknath. Shivaji liked to listen to the exploits of brave men. Shivaji left that on growing up, he should also display valour like them. Jijabai used to tell him stories of many pious persons and saints. That instilled in him, a respect & honour for all saints. And great men.
Children from poor families came to play with Shivaji.
Sometimes he visited them in their nuts and shared their simple meal of onion & bhakri with great relish. They invented instresting games to pass the time. The childrens of Mavla’s were like birds in the forest. Their pastime was building small forts of earth & seek, or played with ball & top.
Shivaji joined them in all these games & become famous with Mavla’s childrens.
