King Sivaji stopped the attacks of muslim rulers in India

Many people say that King Sivaji was an incarnation of Lord Siva. He was given the BhavAni TalawAr ( Sword of Devi ) by Durga Devi personally in dream. This sword was in the British museum for some time. Now it has been returned to India.

He and his friends started attacking the forts of the Muslim kings right from the childhood. There have been very few kings like Sivaji who succeeded

so much against the Muslim rule.

Sivaji and his friends used to shout "Hara Hara MahAdeva" while attacking the enemies. Sivaji however was not the bodily platform. He had many loyal servants who were muslims by birth. He never dishonored a place of worship or a holy book of any religion.

Once the muslims raided the temple where Sivaji and Tukarama were doing nice Viththala ( Krishna ) kirtan. Tukarama requested Lord Viththala to save Sivaji. Lord bewildered the muslims by His mystic potency. Muslims saw that every body present there looked like Sivaji, and meanwhile Sivaji escaped.

Tukarama Acharya was lamenting a lot because of the havoc causeed by the muslims. Looks like Lord Krishna answered his prayers and sent strong Sivaji to save the vedic dharma.

Those days the Brahmins were considering that the Muslims kings are also like the reprensentatives of Lord Narayana. A king has to be treated like Narayana. But a king like Sivaji, not a tyrant like Aurangazeb.

Lord Krishna erected the magnificent city of Dwaraka in the sea. Similarly His devotee King Sivaji erected the Sindhugad fort in the sea. Sivaji was also blessed by Saint RAmdAs. Ramdas Swami used to chant "Shri Ram Jaya Ram Jaya Jaya Ram" all the time. But he used to carry an arm-rest and a knife hidden inside the arm-rest. He used to travel with his disciples through forests fearlessly and wanted a hidden knife to protect himself. He used to wear only kaupin around waist.

Once to teach Sivaji a lesson, Ramadas Swami broke a big stone. Immediately a frog popped out of the stone interior. There was some water inside the stone and the frog was living in that water sealed tightly by all sides.This way Ramadas Swami demonstrated to King Sivaji, that if Lord wants to maintain somebody there is no fear for him.

Sivaji was known as "Go-Brahman Pratipalaka" ( the protector of cows and brahmins ). Considering that Lord Krishna loves the cows and brahmins so much, Sivaji must have been very dear to Krishna.
