Shivaji - The Great Warrior

Shivaji was born at Shivaneri in 1627 CE. His parents were Shahaji Bhonsle and Jijabai. Shahaji
served under the Sultan of Ahmednagar and later the Adil Shahis of Bijapur as a general in
the army.

Shahaji had been granted the Estate of Poona. It was looked after by Jijabai, while Shahaji
himself stayed at his other Estate in Bengaluru. Jijabai, a lady of courage and pious
temperament, infused in her son heroism, spiritualism, and chivalry. She narrated stories from
the epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata which made him courageous. Shivaji’s tutor and guide
was Dadaji Kondadeva. He trained Shivaji in the art of administration and warfare. Shivaji was
also influenced by saints like Ramdas and Tukaram. The Mavalis living in the hilly tracts became
his friends and followers.

Shivaji entered into a military career even before attaining the age of 20. He captured fort
Toran with the help of Mavalis. He also captured many forts like Chakana, Simhagad, Kondana
and Purandar from Adil Shah of Bijapur. The Sultan of Bijapur, having incurred heavy losses
imprisoned Shahaji. Shivaji through his diplomatic intelligence got the release of his father.
Then Shivaji tuned his attention to Konkan coast and occupied the region of Javali. Here he
built the new fort of Pratapagadha.

as per the Vedic rites, he took the title “Chatrapati”
