Jijabai used to narrate stories of the Ramavana and the Mahabharata to her son, as she wanted him to be glorious and admirable. She created self-respect in Shivaji’s heart towards his culture.She enhanced his knightly enthusiasm. Shivaji got inspiration from his mother only, to capture the Fort of Kondala.
She always encouraged her son to face great danger and challenges to protect the honour of our country. Shivaji learnt only from his mother the quality to think peacefully even at the time of crisis and make full proof strategies.
