Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

His mother made an indelible impression on him with her teachings, with her love of the homeland and its people!. Shivaji learned much from his father's failed attempts at political independence: his exceptional military capabilities and achievements, his knowledge of Sanskrit, Hindu ethos, patronage of the arts, his war strategies and peacetime diplomacy!. He was inspired and informed by his family's vision of independence and freedom!.

Furthermore, his mother, having lost her father and three brothers to a treacherous plot hatched by the regional king Nizamshah, was opposed to those who she considered alien rulers, due to their derision and callousness toward the local population!. Jijabai thus instilled in Shivaji a natural love for self-determination and an aversion to external political domination!.

Her piety and commitment to indigenous culture and her recounting of tales from the great Indian epics of Mahabharata and Ramayana molded Shivaji's character and helped him to be peerless (as confirmed by even otherwise inimical chroniclers, Khafi Khan especially) in his tolerant attitude towards other religions as well as in his fair and kind treatment of women and non-combatants!.
