The Prime Minister stated that Shivaji Maharaj’s courage continues to inspire, his governance serves as a guiding light, and his spirit of justice and self-respect strengthens society even today.
He emphasized that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj always placed the welfare of every single person above everything else and dedicated himself completely to their protection. This commitment is why his life remains a beacon for India across generations.
In separate posts on X, Shri Modi said:
“On the Jayanti of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, we bow in reverence to the visionary leader, exceptional administrator, strategic thinker and champion of Swarajya.
May his courage inspire us, his governance guide us and his spirit of justice and self-respect strengthen our society.”
“छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराज यांच्या जयंतीनिमित्त, दूरदर्शी नेते, कुशल प्रशासक, विलक्षण रणनीतीकार आणि स्वराज्याचे पुरस्कर्ते अशा महान व्यक्तिमत्त्वाला आम्ही साष्टांग नमन करतो.
त्यांचे शौर्य आपल्याला प्रेरणा देईल, त्यांचे सुशासन आपल्यासाठी मार्गदर्शक ठरेल आणि न्याय व स्वाभिमानाची त्यांची भावना आपल्या समाजाला अधिक सक्षम करेल.”
Quoting a Sanskrit verse, Shri Modi in another tweet wrote:
“छत्रपति शिवाजी महाराज ने जन-जन के कल्याण को सदैव सर्वोपरि रखा और उनकी सुरक्षा के लिए स्वयं को समर्पित कर दिया। इसलिए उनका जीवन आज भी भारतवर्ष के लिए पथ-प्रदर्शक बना हुआ है।
गोपायितारं दातारं धर्मनित्यमतन्द्रितम्।
अकामद्वेषसंयुक्तमनुरज्यन्ति मानवाः।।”
