Informative session about the important personality. Sambhaji Bhosale was the second Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire,  who ruled from 1681 to 1689. He was the eldest son of Shivaji, founder  of the Maratha Empire. Sambhaji's rule was largely shaped by the ongoing wars between the Maratha kingdom and Mughal Empire as well as other neighbouring powers such as the Siddis, Mysore and the Portuguese in Goa. After Sambhaji's death, his brother Rajaram I succeeded him as the next Chhatrapati. He and his father Shivaji presented themselves to Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb's court at Agra on 12 May 1666. Aurangzeb put both of them under house arrest but they escaped on 22 July 1666. However, the two sides reconciled and had cordial relations during the  period 1666–1670. During the period between 1666 and 1668, Aurangzeb  conferred the title of raja on Shivaji. Sambhaji was also restored as a  Mughal mansabdar with 5,000 horses. Shivaji at that time sent Sambhaji  with general Prataprao Gujar to serve the Mughal viceroy in Aurangabad, Prince Mu'azzam. Sambhaji was also granted territory in Berar for revenue collection. In this period, Shivaji and Sambhaji fought alongside the Mughals against the Sultanate of Bijapur.

Informative session about the important personality. Yashwant Dinkar Pendharkar was a Marathi poet from Maharashtra, India. He wrote poetry under the pen name Yashwant. Pendharkar was born on 9 March 1899, in the town of Tarale in Satara District. Before finishing his school education at the City High School of Sangli, he discontinued it out of unfavorable financial circumstances. He moved to Pune to take up clerical jobs to support himself. While working, Pendharkar  read Marathi literature widely, and developed love for reading  especially poetry and also composing his own poetry. At the 1921 Marathi Sahitya Sammelan in Baroda, Pendharkar met Madhav Julian and Shridhar Ranade, and the three formed a friendship based on common  literary interests. The three lived in Pune and started frequently  meeting for literary discussions. Soon Gajanan Tryambak Madkholkar, Shankar Kanetkar (poet Girish), and D. L. Gokhale joined the meetings, and the group eventually identified itself as Ravikiran Mandal. (Viththal Dattatreya Ghate later joined the group.)

Ravikiran Mandal popularised Marathi poetry in Maharashtra  during approximately 1922-35  through public poetry recitals by member  poets. Pendharkar had both a melodious voice and a talent for presenting  his recitals very effectively. (Some of the recitals used to be held in  Lokamanya Tilak' s Gayakwadwada in Pune under the sponsorship of Tilak's son Shridhar.)
