"A lion walks, where fear must kneel, A storm that rides on hooves of steel.His name is sung, his fire remains, For Shivaji's soul still rules these plains." This book is not just history-it is a song, a hymn, a battle cry.It is the echo of hooves upon the Sahyadri trails, the whisper of the wind through fort walls, the clash of steel as Swarajya rose against tyranny. Through poetry, we seek to relive Shivaji Maharaj's journey-not as mere words, but as rhythm and spirit.His victories, his struggles, his faith, and his indomitable will are retold here in verse, as they were once sung by the warriors who followed him. From the roaring battles of Pratapgad to the silent defiance in Aurangzeb's court, from the devotion in Rohideshwar to the grandeur of Raigad, every poem is a tribute to the Chhatrapati whose fire still burns in the heart of Bharat. Let these verses take you back in time-where the mountains whispered secrets, the forts stood unshaken, and a man called Shivaji carved an empire out of the impossible. Har Har Mahadev! This book is part of the "Timeless Wisdom Series", offering insights into spirituality, philosophy, psychology, and self-growth for readers of all ages.
