Mother of King Shivaji

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has commented:

So we must understand: “Are we allowing our children to grow big? Are they generous? Are they saints? Are they beautiful? How do they talk to others? Are they confident?” Tomorrow they are going to be the leaders of Sahaja Yogis. Like Shivaji’s mother, like Jija Mata. How she made the son great. It’s the mother who makes the children great. (1990-1020)

… you must have heard about Shivaji, and his mother was Jijabai, a very powerful woman. (1982-1026)
