Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki Jai! When there was Mughal Shahi in Delhi, Qutab Shahi in Hyderabad, Barid Shahi in Bidar, Adil Shahi in Bijapur, British, French, Dutch & Portuguese; Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj carved out a Hindu Rashtra by his sword and blood.! In what far-off country, upon what obscure I know not now. Shivaji was formally crowned Chatrapati ('Chatrapati= Chief, head or King of Kshatriyas', representing the protection he bestowed on his people) on June 6, 1674 at the Raigad fort, and given the title Kshatriya Kulavantas Simhasanadheeshwar Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

Synopsis:
'श्रीपायाशी जडलेली नजर सुटू नये याचसाठी राजांचे जोडे उराशी कवटाळून श्रीमंत सकल-सौभाग्य-संपन्न पुतळाबाई राणीसाहेब सती गेल्या. त्यांची आठवण म्हणून ही चरितकहाणी.'
-- रणजित देसाई
'निश्चयाचा महामेरू|
बहुत जनांसी आधारू|

आमच्या साठी भागवत गीते प्रमाणेच आहे. हिंदूह्दयसम्राट छत्रपति शिवाजी महाराज हे आपले आराध्य दैवत. त्यांच्या महान कारकिर्दीविषयी जाणून घेण्यासाठी हि कादंबरी जरूर वाचा. महाराजांचा आदर्श समोर ठेऊन आपले वर्तन असे शुध्द ठेवा की भारताबाहेरील लोक म्हणाले पाहिजेत की 'कसा असेल तो महान राजा की ज्या मृत्यूच्या ४०० वर्षानंतर जन्माला येणारेही त्याचे इतके कट्टर भक्त होतात.' जय हिंद जय शिवराय||

मी श्रीमान योगी हे पुस्तक किमान १५-२० वेळा तरी वाचले असेल. हे पुस्तक माझ्या घरी आमच्या संग्रही ठेवले आहे. हे प्रत्येक भारतीय मनुष्याच्या हृदयामध्ये आपला देश व आपला धर्म याच्या प्रती आस्था पुत्पांना करण्यासाठी एक अत्यंत प्रेरणादायी स्त्रोत आहे, तसेच आयुष्यामध्ये स्वतःच्या मनगटाच्या जोरावर आपण काहीही करू शकतो असा आत्मविश्वास आपल्या हृदयामध्य उत्पन्न करण्याचे कार्यही हे पुस्तक अत्यंत प्रभावीपणे करते. त्या काळात मुसलमानांकडून हिंदुंवर अनन्वित अत्याचार होत असताना शिवाजी महाराजांनी आपल्या मराठी जमातीला एकत्र करून त्यांच्या अत्याचाराला अत्यंत प्रखर विरोध करून त्यांना त्यांच्याच भाषेत उत्तर दिले व हिंदुस्तानात सनातन धर्म जिवंत ठेवला. तसेच जुलुमाने मुसलमान झालेल्या पीडित हिंदूंना परत आपल्या स्वधर्मात घेण्यास सुरुवात करून सनातन धर्माचा होणारा ऱ्हास देखील प्रभावीपणे रोखला. अशा शिवाजी महाराजांच्या प्रेरणादायी इतिहासाला प्रत्येक हिंदुच्या हृदयात निश्चितपणे मनाचे स्थान मिळते यात काहीच आश्चर्य नाही.

This is regarding a comment by Mr Bivalkar on this site - >>> Especially when so called Shivaji Charitrakar like Babasaheb Purandare make the childish descriptions of all his life stories and morals and add his own comments unncessary throughout the book 'Raja Shivchhtrapati' <<<<< Actually Babasaheb Purandare's biggest crime is not his writing but his surname, 'Purandare', if instead his name was Babasaheb Gaikwad or Babasaheb Jadhav, then his work would have been praised to the skies even when actually it would have been a work of ineptitude and absolute shoddiness

It was a lively maratha kingdom in front of me when I was travelling thorugh pages of this great KADAMBARI. The only thing that remained ananswered while reading this book is that nowhere Mr. RANJIT DESAI had mentioned the dates of the incidents, I understand its just because to avaoid controversy, to that extent its right thing but a good reader or RASIK will always expect the full information. Its long research that has been done, though its difficult to have exact date but a range or approximate dates will make this novel more lively. It is just a suggestion which left in my mind while reading. No doubt we all are thankful to Mr. Desai for writing this.

I have read many books, amongst which SHRIMAN YOGI was the most sensitive and inspiring novel I found. It brings the change in your vision perspective, and attitude.Has any body visited the region of shayadri and mahabaleshwar, I hope many of you might.If yes, I would suggest that one should read this novel and again should visit to any of the places and just fell the difference in you vision towards the beauty of nature. In all I just wanted to say the novel is so marvellous that it will fill colours in your vision to see this world more colourful. Another importance of this novel is it as good as GEETA because it will teach you and guide you many things which are essential for a person to stand firm in storms, lead and grow great in your life with ethics and morals. Any way there are many thing which i want the reader to enjoy with the reading of the novel Jai Maharashtra

The author has taken great efforts to write this great epic.I think Ranjit Desai is one of the best kadambarikaar.I have read this book twice.Undoubtedly Shivaji Raje was a Yugpurush.The language used in the book is simple and easy to understand.Some of the incidents are written in such a great way that it takes you in the scene.Even after completion of four decades the book is one of best in the marathi lit.
Pravin writes on Tue May 3 04:51:09 2005:
This book is too good to describe in words. The flow of the language is griping. One gets involved as if it were really happening in front of ones eyes. Ranjit Desai has created a classic of it.

I have read both books i.e. Raja Shivchhatrapati by Babasaheb Purandare and Shriman Yougi by Ranjit Desai. Both this are books are on their own height. So, you can not compare the same. language of this book is simple and very heart touching, At the same, babasaheb purandare talkes about pre-shiviji era also and Shirman yogi directly starts talking from shivaji's birth. No evidence found regarding some incidents mention about Shivaji maharaj in their early childhood. Rest book is fine.

I read he book twice and each time it left me speechless. I felt as though , I was living in that period of time. The book describes the period aptly and takes us into the life of Great Maratha King.This is must read book.

I read this book when I was a kid as an account of the great Maratha King and I was starstruck with the greatness of Shivaji. Then I read it again as a teenager and in college. This book is not just a historical account of the life of Shivaji like many other books. Ranjeet Desai wrote this book as if he lived with Shivaji. He portrayed him as a human first, a brave soldier, a just king second. He described also a hurting father, a grieving husband and loving son. The language makes you feel closer to Shivajiraje as a person than observe him as a king from a distance. I have always been a big fan of Ranjeet Desai. This book is one of his best books. I highly reccommend this book for anyone who wishes to read about the greatest Maratha king, Shivaji.

I read Srimanyogi at a stretch. You cannot just stop reading once you start. In todays India what we see in politics. Every politician or the person who want to become a leader should read it. I felt so much proud to be born in Maharashtra.

After reading this book, I just can't explain what i feel. But it was feeling of pride to be in maharashtra. I have read many books on Maharaj but the way Ranjith Desai has written the each incident was like I was the part of his Mavlas. Especially when so called Shivaji Charitrakar like Babasaheb Purandare make the childish descriptions of all his life stories and morals and add his own comments unncessary throughout the book 'Raja Shivchhtrapati' , Ranjith Desai has done a great job. One incident i'll not forget in my life. I was reading this book in a local train and I was reading the incident of Bajiprabhu Deshpande.As I ended the paragraph, my eyes were full of tears and people were watching at me but I couldn't stop those imotions. It's a one of the wonderful experinces I had ever experienced in my life. Overall great Book. Must read by every Indian.

Sreemanyogi is the most engrossing,contemporary,magnificent emotional saga of Chattrapati Shivaji ,written with utmost sensitivity by Ranjit Desai.The life and times of Shivaji Maharaj have been aptly described.The book takes you to a spectrum of emotions and a ride that keeps you asking for more. No other historical book in Marathi can come close to Sreemanyogi in its language,sensitivity,portrayal of Shivaji Maharaj. Not even Swami!!!

SHIVAJI MAHARAJ :-AN EVERFLOWING SPRING OF INSPIRATION
shivaji-maharaj-smallShivaji Maharaj and his biography has an answer for any problem faced by a Hindu or Indian politicians; however for this purpose the biography should be read with shrewdness and insight. If read by Hindus with the immoderate vision of Gandhi with respect to non-violence, truth, pleasing Muslims, or through the coloured spectacles of Nehru, who with the concept of ‘all religions are equal’, meted out inferior treatment to Hindus, then Hindus will not even become aware of when they were circumscribed ! Gandhi, Nehru and their descendants had created terror in the minds of the people about what they would have to suffer if they even uttered the name of Shivaji Maharaj. Shivaji Maharaj has been totally eliminated today from the history text books at the Secondary school level. History on Shivaji Maharaj is taught and finished in the 3rd or 4th standards as if they are fairy tales for children to read and forget. Politicians have ensured that the youth and adults do not get any inspiration from the biography of Shivaji Maharaj simply because it is an ever flowing spring of inspiration for Hindus ! This article is a small effort made to get a sip of water from this pure spring on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Shivaji Maharaj tomorrow !
SHIVAJI MAHARAJ’S INSPIRATION TO PROTECT HINDUISM:-
shivaji-maharaj-bhavanimataShivaji Maharaj was fully aware that he had to fight the Mughals since childhood . In his book ‘Chatrapati Shivaji Maharajanche Saptaprakaranatmak Charitra’ Malhar Ramrav Chitnis has described the mindset of Prince Shivaji when living with his father Shahajiraje at Vijapur. He pens Prince Shivaji’s thoughts as, “ We are Hindus. These Yavans (Muslims) are inferior to us. There is none more inferior than them. I am distressed by serving them, eating food served by them, flattering them or even greeting them. It is so wrong to see the ridicule of one’s own religion. As we walk down the road we see cows being slaughtered. At that time I feel like beheading the killers and the distress grows even more. What is the use of living to see a cow being tormented ? I am compelled to remain silent because of being reprimanded by my father otherwise I feel like killing the one indulging in cow slaughter. It is not at all good to be in the company of Muslims. So also it is inappropriate to go to the court (darbar) of the emperor or to visit any wealthy man.” As soon as he returned from the Vijapur court he would bathe and change his clothing. It is at this very age that young Prince Shivaji showed his valorous nature by chopping off the hand of a butcher who was dragging a cow for slaughter in another kingdom !
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus Mumbai
Inspiration endowed by Chatrapati Shivaji is very clear from the above incidents. The biographer has strengthened this further in the following words of Shivaji Maharaj, “ We are Hindus. The entire southern region has been invaded by the Muslims and our religion is going downhill. Hence one should not hesitate to sacrifice even one’s life to protect religion. By doing so one would add to one’s treasure of valorous deeds”. Soon thereafter by taking the vow of Raieshvari and conquering the `Torana’ fort Shivaji Maharaj revealed his nature to the world.
TALK ABOUT MUSLIMS INSHIVAJI MAHARAJ’SARMY AND THEIR VALOUROS DEEDS!
shivaji-maharaj-afzhalkhanToday people are talking of the concept of `equality of religions’ in society. The Congress party is trying to depict Shivaji Maharaj as non-communal and secular. Nowadays some Hindu protagonists are trying to drag Shivaji Maharaj into the camp of secularism by making statements such as `there were Muslim soldiers in his army’. Really these are pearls of wisdom by these so-called ardent (hypocritical) lovers of Hinduism!
In this context the author of the book ‘Marathi Riyasati’ and a great historian, Sardessai writes, ‘Towards 1649, 500-700 Pathans from Vijapur came to Shivaji Maharaj in search of jobs. Though he did not approve of employing them, he listened to the counsel of Gomaji Naik Pansabal who advised that ‘these people have come after hearing about your popularity so please do not disappoint them. If you remain adamant that you will employ only Hindus and that you do not need others then you will not be able to establish a kingdom. So include all eighteen communities of all four varna (classes) of society and allow them to carry out their own duties”. So he employed the servitors of Radho Ballal Korde. However the current Hindu protagonists are ignorant about the facts in this context and about how the monarch also ensured that there were spies to keep watch on those Muslim soldiers !
If these 500- 700 soldiers made any attempt to divide the army then as was prevalent in those days, he would also not hesitate to punish them (by throwing them over the cliff). It was not like today when a perpetrator of a heinous crime against the Indian Parliament, instead of being hanged, goes scot free simply because he is a Muslim !
In this context a historian researcher Mr. Ninad Bedekar says, ‘A new idea that Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj had ‘several’ Muslims in his army is being projected. I will quote a few names. You can give me the rest !’ When Prince Shivaji came to the Jagirs of Pune, Indore and Supe, of the representatives of Shahajiraje only three were Muslims, namely Siddi Ambar Bagdadi, Jainkhan Peerzade and Bahalimkhan. Another Muslim associated with Shivaji Maharaj was Nurkhan Beg, the chief of his infantry. But the truth is that later at some juncture all these people were driven off because no mention of their names is made anywhere in the historical annals. After the year 1675 these people were nowhere in the picture.
The British army also employed Indians as soldiers. Afzal Khan who attacked Shivaji Maharaj employed 3000 Mawalas in his army, but can we call him secular ? Why then is this cord of secularism wound tightly (like an iguana) only around the necks of Hindus? Claiming that Shivaji Maharaj was secular simply because he had a few Muslim soldiers in his army is an indicator of an over liberal intellect.
PROMOTION OF SANSKRUT IN HONOUR OF HINDUISM BY SHIVAJI !
Shivaji Maharaj did everything possible to promote Hinduism in every aspect of the fight for independence and establishing his own kingdom. Shivaji Maharaj’s assembly of eight ministers was formed based on Hindu ideals. One comes across this concept of eight ministers in the Ramayan and the Mahabharat. King Dashrath too had eight ministers. In the Shantiparva of the Mahabharat also it has been suggested that an exchange of thoughts of eight ministers is necessary. During the coronation ceremony, Maharaj changed the Persian names of the ministers to Sanskrut as follows– Download sony vegas pro 9 free full version full.
Thinking of Sanskrut names to rename various ministers or forts was a hobby of Shivaji Maharaj. In September 1665, that is around the time of Dasra before leaving on a journey he named all the forts from his kingdom. Malhar Ramrav Chitnis in the biography of the monarch, ‘Chatrapati Shivaji Maharajanche Saptaprakaranatmak Charitra’ has spoken about the forts saying, “At each place after place Shivaji Maharaj would build a new fort to frighten the enemy. Varugad, Bhushangad, Mahimagad, Vardhangad, Sadashivgad, Macchindragad are some of them”. In the book ‘Marathyancha Itihas’ it is said, “Shivaji Maharaj loved Sanskrut. There are several instances to testify this. He changed the names of forts to Raigad, Vishalgad, Suvarnagad, Vijaydurg, Prachandgad and Pandavgad.””
Consequences of not receiving inspiration from the biography of Shivaji Maharaj
Shivaji Maharaj Birth Anniversary celebrations were started by Lokmanya Tilak. He was followed by Svantrya Veer Savarkar in 1908 in London. Both these leaders were fully aware of the importance of Shivaji Maharaj, but Gandhi and Nehru both kept strict vigilance over this text ever since the independence of India. This is how the fact that a handful of Muslims invaded and destroyed Hindu kingdoms and gained control over the Hindu empire is not known to most Hindus after 1920.
In fact it is because of this misguidance that they accepted the division of India without offering any resistance to it. Non-acceptance of Shivaji Maharaj and his biography, which would have inspired Indians, has resulted in the return of Muslim powers in the form of Pakistan and Bangladesh, to overpower Hindus. It is because the incidents of Shivaji Maharaj tearing open Afzal Khan’s abdomen and chopping off Shahishtekhan’s fingers being kept secret that today we so easily allow a compromise by releasing hard core terrorists in return for release of the kidnapped daughter of an Indian Minister, Mufti Mohammed.
India’s External Affairs Minister flies to the Kandahar desert in a special plane only to release criminals who have butchered Hindus ! In Kashmir Bitta Karate who beheaded 16 Hindus is released on parole ! In the 13 days after killing Afzal Khan, Shivaji Maharaj conquered 16 forts and in contrast within a year of India becoming independent, our politicians lost 1/3rd of our motherland in Kashmir to enemies ! Fearing Shivaji Maharaj’s valour, as long as he was alive, Aurangzeb did not dare to even talk about conquering South India. Yet today the cunning, crafty Musharraf arrives in India to disrupt an Agra conference or dares to hang the Indian tricolour upside down on his personal aircraft.
SHIVAJI MAHARAJ’SSUBJECTS BEING FULLYAWARE OF THESTRUGGLE BETWEENRIGHTEOUSNESSANDUNRIGHTEOUS !
Shivaji Maharaj was fully aware that he had to fight the Mughals so also were his subjects. The situation was such that people were worried as to whether their Maharaj would return alive from the Agra jail. Despite that, the leaders of home rule (swarajya) and the Mawalas did not get unnerved and as per the plan of Shivaji Maharaj they protected his kingdom and ruled it in his absence.

The Mawalas were prepared to sacrifice even auspicious events in their families and were willing to face the jaws of death. Sinhagad, Pavankhind, Agra,… how many more forts does one need to quote ? In this struggle between Righteousness and unrighteousness many parents lost their sons and several women were widowed. They were all fully aware of why they were fighting the Mughals. Rather than wishing that their husbands stay at home, these women supported them in their mission against the Mughals. They clearly choose widowhood, rather than wishing their husbands remain passive but safe as this would have only kept their marital status intact superficially as the women folk would have been raped by the Mughal sardars.
Compare this noble attitude of theirs to the tantrums thrown by the relatives of victims of the plane hijacked by terrorists to Kandahar. Both the central government and the majority of people of India seem to forget whom they are fighting this battle against. The entire country is testimony to this.
The politicians of today and most of the people are still unaware of why we drove the British out of India. Our revolutionary Indian heroes have not shed blood in vain. If only we were to understand this then we would not have played cricket matches with Pakistan which is all set to wipe out Hindus in Kashmir, the land of Sage Kashyap. We would also not have given refuge to Bangladeshi infiltrators and would have driven off the Chinese ambassadors who have tried to stake a claim on Arunachal Pradesh. All this is a consequence of not being inspired by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to fight for independence and home rule !
