Maharaja Shoor Saini Mali
Achievements:- Kansa was the first major king of
Northern India, Kansa. By virtue of his might, he declared himself as
the first king of Mathura. King Jarasandha of Magadha, offered his two
daughters in marriage to Kansa. Thus, the first empire of pre-historic
or Proto-history India was established by Kansa, the scion of Shoor
saini dynasty. Kansa performed the famous Ashwamedha Yagna and set his
horse moving and his armies followed the horse under his personal
command. They were away for twelve years from the capital “Shoorpur” in
the city of Mathura.
After Mahabharata, Parikshat was made king of Hastinapur. Vajra, the
grandson of Krishna at Indraprastha. A grandson of Satyaki named Bhuti
was made king of Saraswati. Andhaka s son was made king at Marttikavata
near Mount Abu. Thus the princes of the Pandava-Krishna lines ruled
North India, Sindh, Gujarat and the area North and West of the Yamuna.
They founded many republics like Pargiter, Bhargava and Jayaswal.
The famous Yaudhey a republic had 5000 war elephants and 5000
aristocratic families, who were good agriculturists and good soldiers.
Their fame and power caused the retreat of Alexander from the Beas in
326 BC. Future wars led to the Sainis retreating into infertile
foothills from central regions of Punjab under pressure from the
Scythians. They spread along the rivers.
As the time passed, Sainis and Ahirs along with other Branches of Yadus
and some other Aryans aligned themselves under the banner of
Krisna-Pandava and fought against the Aryans. These Aryans had accepted
the hegemony of orthodox Brahmins to rule the kingdoms. Sainis defeated
them. During this time intermarriages between different Yadu branches
were possible. Satyaki the grandson of Shoor Saini was a cousin of
Krisna. Kunti, the mother of Pandavas was daughter of Sura Sena King.
Between 500-300 BC, these Aryan tribes kept fighting each other and this
was the period of chaos.
During this time Magadha emerged supreme and their kings were highly
influenced by Brahamans. Brahamans divided the Aryan kshatriyas into
Surya and Chander Vanshis. Sainis were placed under Chander Vanshis.
Since Sainis and Ahirs refused to accept Brahmanism, they were
diplomatically given the second place among Kshatriyas. Brahmans
favoured those Aryan kshatriyas who accepted their hegemony and allowed
them to play a role in the politics to rule the kingdoms i.e.
brahmanical system in Society.
Porus Porus or Puru, the son of king Chandra Sen, was the last Shoor
saini king. He ruled the fertile area of the Punjab between the rivers
Jhelum and Beas. The Saini s have been classified as Chandravanshi
Kshatriya s. The Chandravanshi lineage is one of the three lineages into
which the Kshatriya caste of Hindus is divided. According to legend,
the Chandravanshis are descended from Chandra,in the Lunar Dynasty or
the Hindu Moon God. Maharaja Sur Saini was born in the post-mahabharat
period. He was a very good administrator which made him popular among
his people. Maharaja Udak, a very famous king was his ancestor. Maharaja
Udak had 2 sons named Bhajman and Durota. Durota further had a son,
Maharaja Sur and Maharaja Sur Saini was the son of Maharaja Sur.
Maharaja Sur Saini ruled over Sur Sen , a kingdom in
northwest India. According to ancient historical records, Mathura was
the capital. His kingdom extended from Afghanistan to Uttarkashi and
from Rajasthan to Southern India. He was an excellent warrior but
kindness was his greatest virtue. His subjects were happy under his
reign and lived peacefully.
Maharaja Sur Saini came from a clan that was deeply
religious, impressed by his thoughts his people and future generations
embraced the Saini religious way of life.
Origin & History Of Saini caste Jyotirao Govindrao Phule, who was a
prominent activist, thinker and social reformer from the Indian state of
Maharashtra during the 19th century, was also famous by the name of
Mahatma Jyotiba Phule. During his time, he tried bringing in positive
renovations in the spheres of education, agriculture, caste system,
social position of women et al. Out of everything that Phule ever did,
he s most remembered for his selfless service to educate women and lower
caste people.
SAINI S are a kshatriya clan belonging to the CHANDRAVANSHI KSHATRIYA s,
a branch of the warrior class. In a high court judgement in punjab the
court ruled that this is a KSHATRIYA community and should be known as
saini kshatriya s. Sainis claim descent from Sura & his grand father
Rajan Saini. Sura was the grand father of Lord Krishna. Saini (Rajan
Saini) was the grand father of Satyaki of Mahabharat. Sura & Saini
were cousins (as recorded in the Mahabharat). Together they ruled the
republic: Andhaka-Vrishni. This was the first known democracy in India.
These Kings later adopted the title of Raja Sursen or Sura-Sena, a name
adopted from the country they ruled.
Satyaki, the grand son of Rajan Saini, ruled the Sura-Sen kingdom in the
north-west of India. Rajan Saini founded Saini vansh, which is one of
the eleven vanshas of Yadus and one of the tribes of the Yadavas.
Rajan Saini Rajan Saini (Sini), a character in the
great Indian epic, the Mahabharata. Sini was the uncle of Vasudeva, the
father of Sri Krishna. When Devaki, the mother of Krishna, was a maiden,
many princes competed for her hand in marriage. This led to a dispute.
In the end, a great battle ensued between two princes of different
families over it: Somadatta and Rajan Sini. In this fierce battle Rajan
Sini won, and on behalf of Vasudeva he carried Devaki in his chariot and
drove her away.
This incident led to a feud between the two clans, the Sini family and
that of Somadatta The rivalry came to the fore-front last time on the
battlefield of Kurukshetra, where Sini s grandson, Satyaki, who was a
peer and friend of Arjuna and a famed archer, clashed with Bhurisravas,
Somadatta s son, who was on the Kaurava side, resulting in the slaying
of Bhurisravas by Satyaki.
Terminology The term Shoor saini is as old as the
history of India. Etymologically, the Hindi word “Shoor” means displayer
of gallantry and "Saini" is a generic name for the ruling dynasty that
ruled Northern India from Mathura to Patiala. Their rule and governance
were so benevolent that the area they ruled came to be known as “Shoor
saini Pradesh” and the language they spoke was known as “Shoor saini”.
Draupadi being a daughter of the Shoor saini dynasty, and that even
Krishna belonged to these people. In the Mahabharata, Satyaki is the
leader of the Shoor sainis and is famous for his braveryMaharaja Shoor Saini Maharaja
Udak was a very famous king. Maharaja Udak had two sons named Bhajman
and Durota. Durota further had a son, Maharaja Sur and Maharaja Sur had a
son who was named Maharaja Sur Saini (sometimes called Shoor Saini).
Maharaja Shoor Saini was born in the Mahabharat period. He ruled over
Sur Sen , a kingdom in northwest India. According to ancient historical
records, Mathura was the capital of this kingdom. His kingdom extended
from Afghanistan to Uttarkashi and from Rajasthan to Southern India.
He strongly believed in righteousness and kindness and karma sidhant of
vedic scriptures. He possessed a sound knowledge of law and ruled the
kingdom under codified laws written into a book. He gave a new way of
life to his kingdom known as the Saini religious way of life. He gave
the vision to these people to work hard irrespective of their
occupation. This is the reason sainis profess different occupations like
floriculture, agriculture, baghbani and vegetable production in
different regions of India. A picture of him is presently displayed at
Lahore (Pakistan) museum.
