Sometimes we will have many concerns regarding our parenting.The story I read from Samartha Ramadas Vijayam book made me immensely happy and grateful to my Guru who made me read this chapter and built confidence in me.
When Shivaji Maharaj was in his mother's womb there were unfavourable conditions in the kingdom. So, his father asks his mother(Shivaji's mother) to leave the kingdom for the safety of the unborn child.She being a mentally strong women agrees and leaves the kingdom all alone during her pregnancy. As she was a strong believer of Mata Bhavani and offered prayers to her regularly pleased with her devotion Mother Bhavani once appears to her in her dream during her pregnancy and blesses her that she will have a male child with Lord Shiva Amsha. As per Mata's blessings she delivers a male child.She all alone raises him as a strong person both mentally and physically.From his mother he also develops faith in Mata and for his faith and devotion Mata gifted Shivaji Maharaj a sword!
I realized from the above story: mother plays an important role in shaping a child.Due to busy schedule if father is not able to spend enough time with children there is nothing to worry..we as women can make our kids grow strong and train them to be socially responsible.
First meeting of Ramdas Swami and Shivaji Maharaj
After a certain period of time in life Shivaji Maharaj desperately wanted a Sadhguru in his life.He prayed to Mata with utmost devotion to show him a Sadhuguru. Mata Bhavani blessed him that he will be very fortunate to have a Samartha Sadhguru in his life.Directly Samartha Ramdas Swami never gave His darshan to Shivaji Maharaj but, He was training young men to join Shivaji's army as soilders. Guru was already helping His shishya without shishya's knowledge.Coming to know from the soilders about Ramadas Swami, Shivaji prayed for Swami's darshan.
Seeing Shivaji's faith and devotion towards Him, One night He appears in his dream and gifts him a rudraksha or kamandalam ( sorry not sure).Shivaji immediately wakes up.To his surprise he sees the thing gifted by Ramadas Swami present by his side!His happiness has no bounds.He thanks Swami for accepting his devotion and giving darshan to him.But, Shivaji wanted direct Darshan of Samartha Ramadas Swami.He, one day, very stubbornly with devotion searches for Swami in all the forest.Finally, he gets the opportunity to have darshan of Swami!Shivaji Maharaj falls at His feet and seeks blessings.
Ramdas Swami tells His main disciple Kalyan that this is the true devotion, faith and love one should have for his Guru. Shivaji Maharaj never behaved as if he was the king But, he behaved as a servant near his Guru.This is the first meeting of Ramdas Swami and Shivaji Maharaj. From then, Shivaji Maharaj never did anything without informing his Guru and without taking His blessings. Ramadas Swami also developed immense love towards Shivaji and Shivaji's death made Swami very sad.He left His physical body few months after Shivaji Maharaj's death.Such was the love for His shishya. Swami always said it is impossible to get a devoted shishya like Shivaji Maharaj. One has to read the story of Shivaji Maharaj's relation with Ramadas Swami to know how one should serve and render services to his Guru if they are fortunate to have Sadhguru in their life.
