People who sing and dance in a procession organised to celebrate the birth anniversary of Shivaji Maharaj will never understand his importance. However the one who puts in efforts like him will be able perceive his greatness and surrender at his feet!

- H.H. Dr. Jayant Athavale

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is the principle of effulgence or rather he is the divine inspiration. He is certainly not human. In fact he is a Primal God who took birth in a divine and pure culture.
