The Great Indian Emperor - Chhatrapati Shiva ji Maharaj


शिवाजी का जन्म १९ फरवरी १६३० में शिवनेरी दुर्ग में हुआ था ! उनके पिता शाह जी भोंसले एक शक्तिशाली सामंत व माता जीजाबाई थी ! शिवाजी ने मराठा साम्राज्य की स्थापना की थी ! 

शिवाजी का जन्म व अन्य लोकभ्रांति 

शिवाजी का जन्म १९ फरवरी १६३० को महाराष्ट्र सरकार द्वारा उद्घोषित तिथि पर मनाया जाता हैं ! शिवाजी महाराज के जन्म के विषय में कई लोगों का मत हैं कि शिवाजी महाराज का जन्म ६ अप्रैल को १६२७ में हुआ था वंही कई अन्य लोक अपने मतानुसार अन्य दिवसों में भी शिवाजी महाराज का जन्मदिन मनाते हैं !

शिवाई देवी के नाम पर रखा नाम शिवाजी

माता जीजाबाई जो कि माता शिवाई देवी की अनन्य भक्त थी, माता से प्रार्थना की कि उन्हें एक ऐसा शक्तिशाली पुत्र दे जो उनके कुल को एक नई पहचान व् दिशा प्रदान कर सके !
माता के आशीर्वाद फलस्वरूप जब जीजाबाई को रत्न के स्वरुप एक पुत्र प्राप्त हुआ तब उन्होंने माता के आशीर्वाद को उनके ही नाम शिवाई के साथ जोड़ने हेतु अपने पुत्र को शिवा के नाम से उद्घोषित किया !
और वहीँ शिवा आगे चल कर मराठा सम्राज्य के संस्थापक बने और छत्रपति शिवाजी महाराज के नाम से जग में विख्यात हुए !
