In today's time, whenever there is talk of maratha empire, stories of bravery of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj come to the fore, but do you know the woman who first taught Shivaji to walk with her fingers and then made him a great warrior? Yes, we are talking about Jijabai, the mother of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who died on this day. Let us tell you that Jijabai died on 17th June but she is still alive in everyone's hearts.

She is said to have been not only Shivaji's mother but also his friend and mentor and his entire life was full of courage and sacrifice. At the same time, she faced difficulties and adversities throughout her life, but did not lose patience and taught her 'son Shivaji' to remain dedicated to social welfare. Let us tell you all that Jijabai was born on January 12, 1598, as the daughter of 'Lakhuji Jadhav' near Sindakhed district of Buldhana. His mother's name was Mahalsabai. She was very young when she was married to 'Shahaji Bhosale'. When Jijabai got married to Shahaji. After marriage, Jijabai became a mother of eight children, six of whom were daughters and 2 sons, and one of them was Shivaji Maharaj.

By the way, Jijibai was very beautifu. At the same time, it is said that Shivaji was abandoned by his husband when he was born because he was actually more fascinated by his second wife Tukabai, who had disillusioned him and she longed for her husband's love since Shivaji's birth. Let us tell you that one of Jijabai's stories is very famous while teaching Shivaji the lesson of bravery. Under this, when Shivaji was practising for a warrior, Jijabai called him to him one day and said, "Son, you have to hoist the foreign flag over Singhgarh in any way." She didn't stop there. Speaking further, she said that if you do not succeed in doing so, I will not consider you as my son"

Shivaji interrupted her and said, "Mother, the Mughal army is very large. Secondly, we are not in a strong position right now. In that case, it will be difficult to conquer them. It is a very difficult task to conquer them at the moment". Shivaji's words seemed like arrows to her. She said angrily, "You should wear bangles in your hands and stay at home. I will attack Singhgarh myself and take off that foreign flag and throw it away. The mother's reply was shocking to Shivaji. Nevertheless, he respected the mother's feelings and immediately called  maternal grandfather and asked him to prepare for the attack. He later systematically invaded Singhgarh and had a big victory."
