माहुली, महाराष्ट्र
माहुली (AS, p.744): महाराष्ट्र में स्थित है. इस स्थान पर शिवाजी के गुरु समर्थ रामदास पर्याप्त समय तक रहे थे. यही दास पंचायतन के सदस्यों (जयराम, रंगनाथ, आनंद, केशव तथा समर्थ) का मुख्य केंद्र था. इन्हीं लोगों के प्रयत्न से महाराष्ट्र में 17वीं शती में राष्ट्रीय जागृति की लहर आई थी जिसके कारण शिवाजी को महाराष्ट्र में स्वतंत्र राज्य स्थापित करने में सफलता मिली थी.
