‘Shaurya Jagaran’ drive thro’ lectures at 7 places in Mumbai
Mumbai : Birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, because of whom God and temples were protected in this country, is celebrated all over the State. ‘Shivatej’ thus gets awakened only for a day; but from the second day, Hindus become secular. ‘Sanskars’ of secularism were inculcated in Hindus since freedom of this country. Few persons are, however, trying to label Shivaji Maharaj as secular which shows we never understood real Shivaji. He defeated 5 powerful kings in most adverse conditions and established ‘Hindavi Swaraj’. He eliminated all those who came in the way of establishment of ‘Hindavi Swaraj’. Today’s situation is no different from that time. Dharma is getting attacked at all levels because ‘Dharma-tej’ is reducing amongst Hindus. It is the need of the hour to keep Chhatrapati Shivaraya’s valour as ideal before us and get ready to fight against such attacks. History of Chhatrapati Shivaraya is not meant only for good reading but it is for studying and putting into practice what we learn from it. Every incident from the biography of Shivaraya gives us inspiration to kindle that spark in Hindus. Hindus should therefore, take inspiration from biography of Shivaraya and get committed to establishment of Hindu Rashtra.
