Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj: The Embodiment of Value-Based Leadership
Chhatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj remains an eternal inspiration to millions. Each year, on the
19th of February, we celebrate Shiv Jayanti with unmatched vigour and devotion.
My heart overflows with joy and energy whenever I remember his great name.
In 2025, on this sacred day, I wrote a poem to offer my humble tribute to this legendary leader. When I began writing this book Value-Based Leadership, the very first name that came to mind was Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj—the finest embodiment of value-driven leadership.
His life was not merely about conquest
or power; it was about vision, integrity, courage, respect, and service to his
people.
Once again, I feel blessed to present this poem in his memory. May it inspire readers to see leadership not as authority, but as responsibility rooted in values.
Har
Har Har Mahadev!
Beneath
the sun and open skies,
A
warrior king did rise.
Chhatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj—the name,
In
golden letters, carved in fame!
With
heart as bold as mountain high,
He
faced the storms with fearless eye.
Not
for luxury, not for throne,
But
for his people, he stood alone!
Inspired
by Ramayana, Mahabharata,
Stories
brightly spun by Rajmata.
Rajmata
Jijau’s guiding hand,
Molded
a king, so wise and grand!
Har
Har Mahadev! The battle cries,
Echoed
deep in soldiers’ eyes.
Tanaji,
Murarbaji, brave and grand,
Baji
Prabhu with sword in hand!
At
Pratapgarh, the cunning foe,
Afzal
Khan met his final blow.
A
strategic mind, a hero’s flair,
The
king’s bravery beyond compare!
He
honoured women, upheld their grace,
A
man of character in every place.
His
name—a beacon through the years,
A
tale of valour, heart, and tears!
For
Swarajya, their lives were given,
Legends
among men, their spirits risen.
Every
moment, a lesson bold,
Inspiring
us, their story told!
In
every heart, in every breath,
Their
legacy defeats death.
Har
Har Mahadev! Forever praised,
A
king whose valour forever blazed!
A
grand display, on February’s day,
We
celebrate Shiv Jayanti in its way.
His
name and deeds, a lasting light,
Guiding
us through the darkest night!
