Shivaji, was endowed with talents of the highest order and a clear vision, the only one who stood-up to the injustice. He had also an inspiring and endearing personality which spontaneously commanded respect, loyalty and the highest sacrifices from his devoted soldiery and peasants. Shivaji is relevant today because, He embodied all the qualities that politicians should possess, but do not always have: he was just, firm and stood for the weak; he was an honest and able administrator; he confronted the enemy and was not cowed into submission; he was devoted to Mother India, who appeared to him as Bhavani; he was ruthless with his enemies, but spared women, children; he had respect for all religions. 12th March, 4 PM, Ravindra Natya Mandir, Mumbai Award bestowed by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar In the presence of Shri Uddhav Thackeray, Shri Narendra Modi & Shri Gopinath Munde
