In this video going viral, a mother stands beside her disabled son while gently encouraging and helping him to walk proudly on stage as the great warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
These scenes captured many hearts globally, seeing a boy rise with confidence thanks to his mother, but it’s also rooted in Hindu history and Hinduism, where the real Shivaji’s own mother Jijabhai had encouraged and inspired him from a small boy with the blessings of Goddess Bhavani to become one of the greatest indigenous pagan warriors of resistance in the world. And to why Hinduism is still here, proving a mother’s love and encouragement is rooted in the divine feminine known as shakti to Hindus, where the Goddess is the one who inspires those, even with all the odds and obstacles against them, to win, like this disabled boy with his mother’s blessings.
