Matrutva : Enlightened Motherhood
Enlightened motherhood is a cherished ideal of Hindu women. Jijabai trained her son Shivaji and his tribal friends to free this country from the cruel and barbaric foreign rulers. She had a definite aim of establishing Hindu sovereignty by organising the various constituents of Hindu society. It was because of Jijabai’s training and inspiration that Shivaji became successful. Jija Bai is our role model for Motherhood. Mothers empower the oives of great men & women, who shape the history of the world, through intense sacrifice and extreme love. Such mothers hold a proud place in our hearts.
There was never a great person who had not a great mother.
Children are the sum of what mothers contribute to their lives.
