Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (19 February 1862 - 3 April 18 18) is the principle of coincidence, not divine inspiration. It is definitely not human, it is God. Shivaji Maharaj is a Supreme God who was born in a divine and pure culture. In history, no other religion has produced such an immaculate personality.
