And like always, Swamini Saree has honoured the strong ladies from the pages of history in its 2023 Calendar. Aptly title Yugandhar Striya or Women of All Ages, the calendar tells the stories of legendary women who made a mark on India History. For January, we throw the limelight on Jijau or Rajmata Jijabai Bhosale from Maharashtra.
Born on January 12, 1598, Jijabai
was the daughter of Sindhkhed’s Lakhuji Jadhav and his wife Mhalasabai. The
Jadhavs, a well-respected noble family, were the descendants of the Yadavas who
once ruled Devgiri. Maybe, the fire of reclaiming back the region of
Maharashtra for its own people and getting rid of foreign rulers came from her
own family history.
At a young age, she married Shahaji Bhonsale whose father Maloji Bhonsale served as a prominent commander under Deccan’s Nizamshahi. Jijabai & Shahaji became parents to two sons – Sambhaji and Shivaji. Circumstances made Jijau take care of her husband’s Jagir – Pune where she went with her son Shivaji. Her husband’s faith in her in handling the responsibility was truly noteworthy.
She witnessed the badly managed
Pune by earlier rulers and went ahead in developing the place with great
consideration for the people. She also began telling her son Shivaji tales from
our epics, Puranas and other religious texts which spoke of defeating the evil
for the people. She inculcated in him the teachings to fight the powers controlling
Maharashtra and carve out an independent future.
Slowly & steadily, Shivaji
expanded his independent footsteps in & around Maharashtra. Every step
towards Swarajya had backing from his wise mother. She quickly became Aausaheb or
motherly figure to the whole of Maharashtra. She lived long enough to see her son
become Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
When you mention Jijabai or
Jijau, you think of a truly powerful woman who lived for the people. Her
farsightedness is commendable as she ensured her son becomes the people’s ruler.
Her personal losses did not stop her, right her from her maternal family’s treacherous
murders to her son Sambhaji’s & husband’s deaths. She inspires awe and natural respect amongst
the public for her selfless work to creating an independent empire for the
people where they live without fear.
As Swamini Saree has mentioned in
the calendar:
जिने राखली अंगणात तुळस आणि टिकवले देवळावर कळस,
धर्म रक्षणार्थ दिला राज्याला वारस.
सुविचार, शौर्य, देशनिष्ठेचा संस्कार देणारी
महाराणी जिजाऊ
