Bhandup (W), Mumbai : Rajmata Jijau taught Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj 3 important things in life; such as power of unity, control and struggle. He could establish ‘Hindvi Swaraj’ only due to ‘sanskars’ inculcated in him by Rajmata Jijau. Today, we should learn these 3 things and join the sacred task of establishing Hindu Rashtra; because only Hindu Rashtra will bring back our lost happiness, prosperity and our past glory, stated Shri. Sumit Sagavekar of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) in the speech given on the occasion of Shivjayanti, organized by ‘Sai-Leela Mitra Mandal’. The topic of his speech was ‘Biography of Rajmata Jijau’. The program was attended by 150 devout Hindus and Shiva –devotees.
Activists of Saileela Mitra Mandal do not collect any money from residents but celebrate Shivjayanti with own funds. Once the ‘Mandal’ was falling short of money for celebrating such festival and that time, Sou. Surekha Ranadive, mother of Shri. Nagesh Ranadive provided money by mortgaging her ‘mangal-sutra’. This year also, activists of this Mandal celebrated Shivjayanti on large scale, with unity, from 26th March to 29th March. Saileela Mitra Mandal works sincerely throughout the year for propagating Chhatarpati Shivaji Maharaj’s mission as also carries out social work.
Highlights
