“The glory of this Mudra of Shahaji’s son Shivaji (Maharaj ) will grow like the first-day moon. It will be worshiped by the world & it will shine only for well being of people.”
These lines had said by the Raj Mudra - the royal emblem of the Shivaji Maharaj’s Maratha empire.
Today on the occasion of birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, I want to deliver small speech on his life and brave spirit. On every year, 19th feb. we celebrate birth of our great Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. In western India, he founded Maratha empire. With his powerful administrative skills, he raised up fearless and strong Maratha empire. Throughout his life, he fought against injustice and work for people's well being. Whether he was great king of his time but he lived for the people.
He had great participation in administration policies. He announced the collection of two taxes called the Chauth and Sardeshmukhi. Moreover, he encouraged women liberty as a top priority. He was brilliant follower of Hindutva, Marathi and Sanskrit language, but this didn't mean he disrespect other, he equally respected all religions.
To honor shivaji, Mumbai airport is named Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport.
At last, I want to say, we should follow his path and respect each individual whether they belong to small community or high, at end of the day we all are human beings.
Thank You
