Jijabai: Mother of Shivaji and an eternal symbol of courage
Jijabai was the mother of Shivaji, one of the most famous and successful Hindu rulers of all time. The life story of Jijabai, is no less inspiring than that of her prodigal son, and takes a proud place in the history of the Hindu people.Jijabai’s father, Lakhuji Jadhav Rao, was an important leader serving under the Muslim Nizamshahi administration. During those days, many Hindu leaders of that region were serving under the Nizam. Their service had small armies of their own and had obtained lands, money and status. But they hated one another and were always trying to increase their power and prestige at each other’s expense.

An inspiring article from the pages of our gracious history. Shivaji was great, great of the greatest Hindu hero who made us so much proud to be Hindu, he fought with courage and determination against all the odds. He was master of all circumstances and faces against all the eventualities. Mother Jija Bail was no less great - she was the one with Hindu spirit and reared his son Shivaji to such a stature. We are very proud of the both - Shivaji and Jija Bai.

Shivaji and mother Jijabai are the real hero and son and daughter of Bharat Mata. Sri Ram bless them.
The traitors are Gandhi, Nehru, Anti-Hindu Secularists, and Communists who are trying to destroy Hindu Dharma and Bharat Mata.
Great Shivaji was one of the most famous and successful Hindu rulers of all time.
