Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj always had a scientific bent of mind. During his rule he introduced various scientific based social reforms in his ‘Swaraj’, thus benefiting the common man. Shivaji Maharaj stressed on the fact that “Your deeds is our worship to the almighty”. This helped in the eradication of many blind faiths amongst the people.
Jijabai had taught Shivaji to hold all women in great respect and he instructed his soldiers to honor all women and rigidly enforced it. Shivaji and Jijabai worked together in removal of many evil practices regarding women.
Through his life, Shivaji gave us an example that no one’s future is dependent merely on forecasts and sun signs. Your tomorrow solely depends on your deeds and your faith in yourself and at the same time your almighty. Irrespective of many warnings and evil predictions from religious saint and priest, Shivaji built many of Maharashtra’s strongest sea forts.
Thus Shivaji Maharaj was the beginner of the scientific cultural spread in Maharashtra, which is still continuing in the state.
