Indic Lore was born from a simple yet profound idea: to give Bharat, that is, India and its people, a cool way to express their roots through trendy, everyday fashion. Why wait for festivals? Celebrate your heritage every day.
Our products sustain our ultimate goal: to retell the Lores of India, empowering the youth and people with knowledge and tools to explore their Indic roots. Together, we aim to protect, preserve, promote, and maintain Hindu culture, temples, mutts, peethams, endowments, and trusts.
The disposition to put the interests of his subjects before himself can only be displayed by a person who has learnt to subjugate his senses & his mind and has developed keen mental objectivity and emotional equanimity coupled with a sense of detachment towards worldly object especially towards his own ego. A person who manages to live his life with such a discipline shouldering the responsibility of an entire kingdom, deserves respect.
Veneration is not for the power he wields but for how he wields the power.
Chanakya Calls such a king a Rajarshi
A King who is also a Rishi.
Unlike any other British era Rajas, Shahu Maharaj did not just lead a Royal Life, but he had a vision to see what was happening around him in the society, beyond the palace life. He had understood the problems of the grass root citizens of his State and his Nation.
Rajrashi Shahu made consensus in Kolhapur Sansthan. Saw the pitiful condition of Shudratishudras. In his own office Out of 71 officers in Kolhapur State, 60 officers were Brahmins and 11 officers were non-Brahmins. Among the private staff, 46 out of 53 were Brahmins and 7 were non-Brahmins. Out of 79 students studying in Rajaram College, 73 were Brahmins and 6 were non-Brahmins.
Then Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj started schools and hostels for the mukti and kalyan of Shudratishudra. The people in the villages had no taste for education. In such a situation, Shahu Maharaj pledged the task of educating them. Maratha, Jain, Lingayat, Muslim etc. By creating different hostels for Shudratishudra, they were encouraged to get education by giving them good food, books and scholarships. Education was made universal by making primary education free and compulsory. A fine of Rs.1 per month was imposed on children whose children did not attend school. Teachers who followed untouchability were ordered to resign from their posts.
His LORE is still celebrated by people of Kolhapur, one of the most happy, caring and welcoming people of Maharashtra.
