“Zindagi ki sabse badi pareeksha shakti paane mein nahi… usse sambhalne mein hoti hai.”
Har insaan apni zindagi mein kuch bada paana chahta hai.
- Safalta
- Paisa
- Samman
- Ya phir koi aisi pehchaan jise duniya yaad rakhe.
Lekin ek sawal hum aksar bhool jaate hain…
Jo hum maang rahe hain, kya hum uske layak bhi ban rahe hain?
Bhagwan Shiv aur Maa Ganga ki yeh kahani isi sawal ka jawab deti hai.
Yeh sirf ek pavitra nadi ke dharti par aane ki kahani nahi…
Yeh us zimmedari ki kahani hai jo har badi shakti ke saath aati hai.
Ek Adhoori Ichchha Jo Peedhiyon Tak Zinda Rahi
Bahut samay pehle Ayodhya mein Raja Sagar rajya karte the.
Ek din unhone Ashwamedh Yagya ka sankalp liya.
Sab kuch shubh chal raha tha.
Lekin Devraj Indra ko Raja Sagar ki badhti kirti pasand nahi aayi.
Unhone chhupkar yagya ka ghoda gaayab kar diya aur Maharishi Kapil ke ashram ke paas baandh diya.
Raja Sagar ke putra ghode ko dhoondhte hue wahan pahunch gaye.
Ghoda saamne tha.
Maharishi Kapil tapasya mein leen the.
Bina sach jaane…
Unhone Maharishi par hi aarop laga diya.
Tapasya bhang hui.
Maharishi ne dheere se aankhen kholi.
Unke tej ke saamne Raja Sagar ke saare putra usi kshan bhasm ho gaye.
Ashram phir shaant ho gaya.
Lekin ek adhura sapna wahin janm le chuka tha.
Unki aatmaon ko mukti tabhi mil sakti thi…
Jab Maa Ganga swarg se dharti par aayengi.
Bhagirath Ne Rajgaddi Se Bada Ek Kartavya Chuna
Samay beetta gaya.
Kai raja aaye.
Kai chale gaye.
Prayas bhi hue.
Lekin Maa Ganga dharti par nahi aayi.
Phir ek din Raja Bhagirath ne apne poorvajon ki kahani suni.
Us raat woh der tak so nahi paaye.
Subah darbar laga.
Sabhi mantri upasthit the.
Bhagirath ne apna mukut utara…
Aur singhasan par rakh diya.
Darbar mein sannata chha gaya.
Ek mantri ghabra kar bola,
“Rajan… kya hua?”
Bhagirath ne shaant swar mein kaha,
“Jo apne poorvajon ka rin na chuka sake…
Uske sir par yeh mukut achha nahi lagta.”
Yeh kehkar ve mahal se nikal pade.
Na sena.
Na vaibhav.
Na rajsi sukh.
Sirf ek sankalp…
Maa Ganga ko dharti par lana hai.
Himalaya Mein Shuru Hui Sabse Kathin Tapasya
Bhagirath Himalaya pahunch gaye.
Barfili hawaayein chehre ko cheer rahi thi.
Din ki dhoop tez thi.
Raat ki thand haddiyan jama deti thi.
Lekin Bhagirath apni jagah se nahi hile.
Ek din…
Do din…
Ek saal…
Kai saal beet gaye.
Kabhi sharir saath chhodne lagta.
Kabhi mann haar maan lene ko kehta.
Lekin har baar unhe apne poorvaj yaad aa jaate.
Aur woh phir aankhen band karke dhyan mein baith jaate.
Unka sankalp dheere-dheere tapasya ban chuka tha.
Bilkul waise hi jaise Markandeya Ki Kahani mein ek baalak ne apni atal shraddha se maut tak ko rok diya tha.
Jab niyat sachchi ho…
To samay lamba zaroor lagta hai.
Lekin bekaar kabhi nahi jaata.
Brahma Ne Vardaan To Diya… Lekin Ek Shart Ke Saath
Kai varshon baad Bhagirath ki tapasya safal hui.
Brahma ji prakat hue.
“Bhagirath…”
“Tumhari tapasya ne mujhe prasann kar diya hai.”
Bhagirath ne jhukkar pranam kiya.
“Prabhu…
Meri bas ek hi prarthana hai.
Maa Ganga dharti par aa jaayen.”
Brahma ji muskuraaye.
“Tumhari ichchha poori hogi.”
Bhagirath ke chehre par pehli baar muskaan aayi.
Lekin agle hi pal Brahma ji gambhir ho gaye.
“Ek baat ka jawab do.”
“Jab Ganga apne poore veg ke saath swarg se utregi…”
“…to unhe sambhalega kaun?”
Bhagirath chup ho gaye.
Unhone Ganga ko bulane ke baare mein socha tha…
Lekin unhe sambhalne ke baare mein kabhi nahi.
Brahma ji bole,
“Is brahmand mein sirf ek hi hain jo unke prachand veg ko dharan kar sakte hain…”
“Mahadev.”
Bhagirath ne bina der kiye Kailash ki aur kadam badha diye.
Unhe samajh aa gaya tha…
Kabhi-kabhi safalta paane se pehle…
Uske yogya banna padta hai.
Mahadev Ke Paas Aakhri Aasha Thi
Bhagirath seedhe Kailash pahunch gaye.
Charon taraf barf hi barf thi.
Hawa mein ek alag hi shanti thi.
Mahadev gehre dhyan mein baithe the.
Bhagirath ne wahin baithkar phir tapasya shuru kar di.
Na jaane kitne din beet gaye.
Phir ek din…
Mahadev ne dheere se aankhen kholi.
Unhone Bhagirath ki taraf dekha.
“Tum kya chahte ho?”
Bhagirath ne jhukkar pranam kiya.
“Prabhu…
Maa Ganga dharti par aane ko taiyar hain.
Lekin unka veg dharti ko sehna mushkil hoga.”
“Kripya unhe apni jataon mein dharan kijiye.”
Mahadev kuch pal tak maun rahe.
Phir muskura kar bole,
“Lok kalyan ke liye jo avashyak hoga… wahi hoga.”
Maa Ganga Ka Garv
Brahma ji ne Maa Ganga ko dharti par jaane ka aadesh diya.
Ganga khush thi.
Lekin unke mann mein ek halka sa garv bhi tha.
Unhone socha,
“Mere jaisa pavitra aur shaktishaali pravah kaun rok sakta hai?”
Ve aasman se prachand veg ke saath dharti ki aur badhne lagi.
Badal garajne lage.
Pahad kaanp uthe.
Devta bhi us drishya ko dekhne lage.
Sabko bas ek hi prashn tha…
Ab kya hoga?
Jab Mahadev Ne Ganga Ko Apni Jataon Mein Sama Liya
Agle hi pal…
Maa Ganga apne poore veg ke saath Mahadev ke mastak par utari.
Unhe poora vishwas tha…
Ek hi pal mein ve dharti tak pahunch jaayengi.
Lekin hua kuch aur.
Mahadev ne dheere se apni jataon ko hilaya.
Aur dekhte hi dekhte…
Maa Ganga un anant jataon mein sama gayi.
Na dharti hili.
Na pahad toote.
Na kisi ne bhay mehsoos kiya.
Har taraf phir se shanti thi.
Ganga ne ek disha mein behna chaha.
Raasta band tha.
Doosri disha mein badhi.
Wahan bhi Mahadev ki jata thi.
Ve aur tez behi.
Lekin har baar unka veg unhi jataon mein sama jaata.
Samay beetta gaya.
Pehli baar Maa Ganga ne apna veg nahi…
Apni seema dekhi.
Tab unhe samajh aaya…
Mahadev unhe rok nahi rahe the.
Woh unhe sambhal rahe the.
Jab Mahadev ko laga ki ab unka pravah dharti ke liye vardaan ban chuka hai…
Unhone apni ek jata khol di.
Usme se ek shaant dhaara nikli.
Ab us dhaara mein pehle jaisi bechaini nahi thi.
Usme jeevan tha.
Karuna thi.
Aur santulan tha.
Us din sirf Ganga hi dharti par nahi utri thi…
Shakti ka sahi roop bhi dharti par utara tha.
Jab Shakti Ko Sahi Disha Mili
Bhagirath ne phir haath jod diye.
“Prabhu…
Mera sankalp abhi adhoora hai.”
Mahadev muskuraaye.
Unhone apni ek jata kholi.
Usme se ek komal dhaara nikli.
Ab woh pehle jaisi bekaabu nahi thi.
Ab uska har boond jeevan lekar chal raha tha.
Bhagirath us dhaara ke aage-aage chalne lage.
Maa Ganga unke peeche.
Jahan se woh guzri…
Sookhi dharti hari hone lagi.
Jeevan lautne laga.
Ant mein Ganga us sthal par pahunchi jahan Raja Sagar ke putron ki bhasm thi.
Jaise hi Maa Ganga ka pavitra jal un tak pahucha…
Unhe mukti mil gayi.
Bhagirath ki aankhon mein aansu aa gaye.
Saalon ki tapasya…
Aaj safal ho chuki thi.
Shakti Ko Sambhalna Kyun Zaroori Hai
Hum sab apni zindagi mein kisi na kisi “Ganga” ka intezaar karte hain.
Koi safalta chahta hai.
Koi dhan.
Koi pad.
Koi pehchaan.
Lekin Mahadev ki yeh kahani ek zaroori baat yaad dilati hai.
Shakti paana kabhi kaafi nahi hota.
Usse sambhalna aur sahi disha dena hi asli buddhimaani hai.
Isi liye Bhasmasur Ki Kahani mein ahankar se judi shakti vinash ban jaati hai.
Aur yahan…
Mahadev wahi shakti duniya ke kalyan ka kaaran bana dete hain.

Shakti paana kabhi sabse badi uplabdhi nahi hoti.
Asli mahaanta tab hoti hai jab us shakti ke saath vinamrata, santulan aur zimmedari bhi judi ho.
Mahadev hume sikhate hain ki sahi disha mein behne wali shakti hi jeevan ka kalyan karti hai.
