"Panhala Fort - A Glimpse into the golden era"

The most significant figure in the city of Panhala is the Panhala fort located 20 kilometers northwest of the Kolhapur town. This grand fort was associated with Shivaji when he defeated the Bijapur general Afzal Khan and captured the fort.

History of the place

It is said that the grand citadel was built by Bhoja II and Ibrahim Adil Shah I during the years 1178 to 1209 and was used actively till the year 1947. The grandeur of the place was such that it was further expanded during the years of 1489 to 1557, and made completely of stone and lead.

The legend also says that in the battle of Pavan Khind, nearly three-quarters of his force died and the fourth ultimately fell into the hands of Adil Shah, Shivaji finally occupying it in 1673. The Panhala Fort is an embodiment of the Kolhapur heritage, enriching it day by day. It is also said that the Panhala fort was the shelter for 15000 horses and home to more than 20,000 soldiers of Shivaji during his time at the fort.

I am in love with Ocean lifting her thousands of white hats in the chop of the storm, or lying smooth and blue, the loveliest bed in the world.

In the personal life, there is always grief more than enough, a heart-load for each of us on the dusty road. I suppose there is a reason for this, so I will be patient, acquiescent. But I will live nowhere except here, by Ocean, trusting equally in all the blast and welcome of her sorrowless, salt self. – Mary Oliver -

This beautiful poem is one way to express how glad I am for my work. It is a privilege to help people in this life and to have learned skills and [more importantly] ways of being and living that taught me the value of helping other people. It is almost 50 years for me having graduated an unusual college. In that space I was taught and nurtured by many extraordinary beings. It was truly an education of both heart and mind.  After college the learning and the teachers continued.  They continue all the way up to this present day.  I’ve been reflecting on the singular people who have been my teachers over the years. I hope I have given back some small portion of what I have received.

I Tell You (excerpt) I could not predict the fullness of the day. How it was enough to stand alone without help in the green yard at dawn. How two geese would spin out of the ochre sun opening my spine, curling my head up to the sky in an arc I took for granted. And the lilac bush by the red brick wall flooding the air with its purple weight of beauty? How it made my body swoon, brought my arms to reach for it without even thinking. * In class today a Dutch woman split in two by a stroke - one branch of her body a petrified silence, walked leaning on her husband to the treatment table while we the unimpaired looked on with envy. How he dignified her wobble, beheld her deformation, untied her shoe, removed the brace that stakes her weaknesses. How he cradled her down in his arms to the table smoothing her hair as if they were alone in their bed. I tell you - his smile would have made you weep. * At twilight I visit my garden where the peonies are about to burst. Some days there will be more flowers than the vase can hold. ~ Susan Glassmeyer ~ (The Incomplete Litany of Untold Stories) :: [Echoes of Panhala]

Freedom

Perhaps we humans have wanted God most as witness to acts of choice made in solitude. Acts of mercy, of sacrifice. Wanted that great single eye to see us, steadfast as we flowed by. Yet there are other acts not even vanity, or anxious hope to please, know of -- bone doings, leaps of nerve, heart- cries of communion: if there is bliss, it has been already and will be; out- reaching, utterly. Blind to itself, flooded with otherness.
