Kabhi aisa hua hai ki tum kisi se milne ko tadap rahe ho, par raaste mein dher saari rukavatein hon? Aur phir bhi dil kehta ho — "kisi tarah bas ek jhalak mil jaye"?

Aaj ki jagah hai Kokilavan, Nandgaon ke paas. Braj ki lok-parampara kehti hai, ek din Krishn Radha Rani se milne ko vyakul the, par ghar ki rukavatein itni thi ki Radha nikal hi nahi paa rahi thi. Krishn ne na koi sandesh bheja, na kisi ko pukara. Woh ek ooonche ped pe chadh gaye aur apni awaaz ko koyal ki tarah meetha kar liya.

Jab woh pukar Barsana ki hawa mein tairi, Radha aur unki sakhiyaan samajh gayi — yeh koyal nahi, yeh toh mera Shyam hai. Sakhi Vishakha ne chaturai se kaha, "aaj ki koyal kuch alag hi gaa rahi hai." Aur isi bahane Radha Rani sakhiyon ke saath van mein pahunch gayi, jahan Krishn unka intezaar kar rahe the. Isi liye is van ka naam pada Kokilavan.

Yahi van Shani Dev ke liye bhi pavitra hai — kaha jaata hai, jab Yashoda Maiya ne Shani Dev ko baal Krishn ke darshan nahi karne diye, toh Shani ne yahan tapasya ki, aur Krishn khud koyal ke roop mein unhe darshan dene aaye. Aaj bhi har Shanivar yahan hazaaron bhakt aate hain.

Socho zara — jinhe poori srishti pukarti hai, woh apne prem ko ek chhoti si koyal ki awaaz mein bula rahe the. Prem mein itni komalta hoti hai.

Aaj apne Krishn ko bhi aise hi pukaar lo — bina bade shabdon ke, bas ek chhoti si, meethi awaaz mein. Woh suni hui hi hoti hai.

Aaj ki jagah hai Mahavan — yeh asal mein woh hi purani Gokul hai jahan Krishn ne apna bachpan bitaya, bas ek naye naam se jaani jaati hai.

Aaj hum ek nayi kahani sunte hain — kai sadiyaan baad, Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu khud yahan aaye, Rupa aur Sanatan Goswami ke bhi pehle. Jab unhone Mahavan mein Madan-Mohan ji ke darshan kiye — yehi jagah jahan chhote Krishn ne apna bachpan bitaya tha — unka dil itna bhar aaya ki woh beqabu ho gaye. Aansu behne lage, aur woh wahin naachne lage, bina ruke, bina sharam ke, bas prem mein doobkar.

Sochke dekho — ek itna bada sant, Sanskrit ke itne bade vidvaan, par jab asli bhakti ka pal aaya, unhone gyan nahi, aansu aur naach chuna.

Yehi toh sikhati hai Mahavan ki mitti — kabhi kabhi bhakti dikhane ke liye kuch kehna nahi padta, bas behna padta hai.

Aaj hum aate hain Keshi Ghat — Vrindavan ke beech, Yamuna kinare, Radha Gopinath Mandir ke paas.

Kans ne apna sabse shaktishaali rakshas Keshi bheja — ek vishaal, pagal ghode ka roop leke, Vrindavan ki taraf daudta hua, aankhon se aag barasata hua. Krishn ne bina dare uska saamna kiya. Jab Keshi apna muh khol ke Krishn ko nigalne aaya, Krishn ne apna haath seedha uske muh mein daal diya — aur Keshi wahin dam tod gaya. Uske baad Krishn yahin Yamuna mein snan karne aaye, isliye naam pada Keshi Ghat.

Ek pyaari baat — kuch log Keshi ko sirf ek rakshas nahi, balki "shak ke ghode" ka roop maante hain — woh beqaraar, bhatakte huye shak jo kabhi kabhi hamare mann mein daudte hain. Jab Krishn par vishwas gehra ho, toh yeh shak bhi shaant ho jaate hain.

Aaj bhi shaam ko yahan Yamuna Maharani ki aarti hoti hai — bahut sundar, bahut shaant.

​Socho, jinke ek ishaare par asht-siddhi aur nav-nidhiyan haath jodkar khadi rehti hain... jinse bade-bade devata, rishi aur asur var mangte-mangte thak jaate hain—wahi Mahadev jab mangne par aayein, toh kya mangenge?

​Shri Ramcharitmanas ke Uttar Kanda mein ek bada hi pyara prasang aata hai. Jab Lanka vijay ke baad Prabhu Shri Ram Ayodhya ke singhasan par Raja bankar biraje, tab Kailash se Bhagwan Shankar darshan karne pahuche.

​Bholenath ne socha—ab Thakur Ji vanwasi nahi hain, ab toh chhatrapati Raja hain, aur Raja ke paas sabkuchh dene ka adhikaar hota hai. Chalo, aaj main inse kuch maang hi leta hoon!

​Shri Ram ne haath jodkar kaha—"He Mahadev, aagya kijiye, kya chaahiye?"

​Toh Shiv ji ne pata hai kya maanga? Na swarg maanga, na mukti maangi, na aishwarya. Unhone bas haath jodkar do cheezein mangi:

​"Pad saroj anapayini bhagti" — Aapke charan-kamalon ki aisi nishkapat bhakti jo kisi sthiti mein kamzor na pade.

​"Sada satsang" — Aapke bhakton ka sang aur bhagvat-katha ki shanti.

​Shiv ji ne hume sikhaya ki jab Ishwar ke aage jholi failane ka mauka mile, toh sansarik kachra mat mangna. Agar jeevan mein Thakur Ji ke charanon ka prem aur shuddh santon ka sath mil gaya, toh samajh lo poora brahmand aapki mutthi mein aa gaya.

Aaj hum aate hain Gahvar Van — Barsana ka ek ghana, gehra jungle, jiska naam hi "gahvar" (chhipa hua, gupt) se pada hai. Isi jungle ke beech hai Krishna Kund, jise Gahvar Kund bhi kehte hain, aur paas hi hai Radha Sarovar aur Raas-Mandal.

Kaha jaata hai yeh jagah Radha Rani apni sakhiyon ke saath akela rehne, apni khaas leelaon ke liye chunti thi — itni gupt ki log kehte hain aaj bhi, dopahar se madhya-raatri tak, yeh jangal samay ke bahar chala jaata hai.

Rasik kavi Nagaridas ne yahan ki ek pyaari bachpan ki leela bhi gayi hai — ek din Krishn apne sakhaon ke saath gayein charate hue, khet mein hare chane dekh liye. Khushi khushi chane tod liye — tabhi khet ki rakhwali karti ek mahila ne unhe pakadne ki koshish ki, aur Krishn apne sakhaon ke saath turant bhaag khade hue, seedha Gahvar Van ke ghumavdar raaston mein ghus gaye. Wahin, jungle ke andar chhup ke, unhone woh chane aag pe bhoone, aur sab dost hans hans ke saath baithke khaya.

Yeh chhota sa kissa dikhata hai — Radha Rani ki gehri, gupt bhakti-leela bhi isi jungle mein hai, aur Krishn ka masoom, shararati bachpan bhi. Dono ek hi jagah mein bas gaye hain.

Aaj hum aate hain Gokul — woh gaon jahan Vasudeva Ji chhupkar chhote Krishn ko Yamuna paar karke le aaye the, aur jahan Nanda Baba aur Yashoda Maiya ne unhe apna liya.

Yahan hai Nand Bhavan, jise "Chaurasi Khamba" bhi kehte hain — kyunki is bhavan ko chaurasi (84) khambon pe khada kiya gaya tha. Kaha jaata hai yeh mahal khud Vishwakarma ne, devtao ke shilpakaar ne banaya tha, aaj se paanch hazaar saal pehle.

Yahi woh jagah hai jahan Krishn aur Balaram ne apne ghutno pe chalna seekha, jahan unhone mitti khayi, aur jahan unki anginat bachpan ki leelaein hui. Deewaron pe aaj bhi unki leelaon ki tasveerein bani hui hain.

Sochke dekho — jinhone poori srishti banayi, unka bachpan bhi itna hi saada tha jitna kisi aam bachche ka — ghutno chalna, mitti khana, gir jaana. Yehi toh sabse pyaari baat hai.

Kabhi dhyan se socho toh hamare Thakur Ji se bada "accountant" koi nahi hai. Unki leelaon mein na ek bada pyara full-circle chalta hai—kahan se liya aur kahan lauta diya, unka hisab hamesha barabar rehta hai. Bas hum insaan thoda jaldi ghabra jaate hain.

Duniya unhe bachpan se chanchal aur natkhat dekhti aayi hai, par unki har shararat ke peeche ek bohot gehra bhav chhupa hota tha:

• Vastra Haran vs. Cheer Haran: Vrindavan mein unhone Gopiyon ke vastra churaye. Duniya ne kitni baatein banayi, par kisi ek bhi Gopi ko na kabhi lanchhan laga, na sharminda hona pada. Pata hai kyun? Aisa lagta hai jaise Thakur Ji woh saare vastra samet kar rakh rahe the, taaki saalon baad jab bhari sabha mein Draupadi ko sach mein lajjit kiya ja raha ho, toh wahi vastra ek kabhi na khatam hone wali suraksha ban kar prakat ho sakein.
• Makhan Chor vs. Poore Brahmand ki Tripti: Gokul ke har ghar se unhone itna makhan churaya ki naam hi pad gaya 'Makhan Chor'. Sab sochte the itna saara makhan aakhir jata kahan hai? Par jab vanvaas ke dauran Durvasa Rishi apne hazaron shishyon ke sath Pandavon ke dwar par pahuche aur bhojan na hone par shraap ka darr tha—tab Draupadi ki ek pukaar par Thakur Ji ne usi sookhe bartan se bas ek chawal ka dana khaya, aur pal bhar mein poore brahmand ka pet bhar diya.
• Indra ka Ahankaar vs. Arjun ka Saath: Govardhan leela mein Devraj Indra ka ghamand sabke samne choor-choor kar diya. Lekin jab Kurukshetra ke maidan mein wahi Indra ka beta Arjun himmat haar kar hathiyar daal raha tha, toh Thakur Ji uske sarathi ban kar khade ho gaye. Use Geeta ka gyan diya aur ek aisa maharathi banaya jiski misaal aaj tak di jaati hai.

Thakur Ji ne apni har leela mein jo kuch bhi liya, samay aane par use hazar guna karke wapas lauta diya taaki kisi ke aage unka bhakt jhuk na sake.

Toh agar aaj aapki zindagi mein bhi aisa lag raha hai ki kuch chhin gaya hai, koi rishta chhoot gaya hai ya mehnat ke baad bhi waqt sath nahi de raha... toh bas thoda sabr rakhiye. Apne karm mein lage rahiye aur Thakur Ji par bharosa rakhiye.

Puri duniya ke kisi shastra ya itihas mein aisi koi kahani nahi hai, jahan Usne aapse kuch liya ho aur sahi samay par lautaaya na ho.

Aaj milte hain Narsinh Mehta se — Gujarati sahitya ke pehle kavi (Adi Kavi), jinke maata-pita panch saal ki umar mein hi guzar gaye the. Bade bhai ke ghar mein, unki bhabhi ke taane sunte sunte, ek din woh jungle chale gaye — shanti dhoondhne, aur wahin unhe Krishn ka gehra anubhav hua. Uske baad unki poori zindagi Krishn-bhakti ko samarpit ho gayi.

Unka ek amar pad:

"Mahaan hai Bhakti ka dhan, jo sirf is dharti pe milta hai, Brahmalok mein bhi nahi. Jo Hari se prem karte hain, woh mukti nahi maangte — woh baar baar janam lena chahte hain, taaki hamesha gaa sakein, naach sakein, aur Nanda ke dulare ko dekhte rahein."

Narsinh Mehta humein sikhate hain — kabhi kabhi bhakt ke liye mukti bhi kam lagti hai, agar uske badle Krishn ko dekhna chhoot jaaye.

Aaj hum chalte hain Nandgaon — Nanda Baba aur Yashoda Maiya ka gaon, jahan Krishn ne apna baaki ka bachpan bitaya, Gokul chhodne ke baad.

Is gaon ke peeche ek pyaari kahani hai. Kaha jaata hai Shiv Ji khud, apne bhasm-lipte roop mein, Krishn ki baal-leela dekhne ke liye Nanda Baba ke dwar pe aaye the. Par unka roop dekhkar Yashoda Maiya darr gayi, aur unhe andar nahi jaane diya. Krishn ne apne bhakt ko nirash nahi kiya — unhone Shiv Ji se kaha, "aap yahin ek pahad ban jao, aur mujhe roz apni leelaein khelte dekho." Wahi pahad aaj Nandishwar Hill kehlata hai, aur usi pe Nand Bhavan mandir basa hai. 🏔️🙏

Sochke dekho — Shiv Ji ne khud Krishn ki baal-leela dekhne ke liye ek pahad banna sweekar kar liya. Bhakti kabhi bhi apna roop badalne se nahi katrati. 💛

​Shrimad Bhagavatam ki ek aisi leela hai jo har rasik bhakt ko hairan bhi karti hai aur aankhein nam bhi kar deti hai—Kaliya Daman.

​Kaliya naag koi sadhak nahi tha. Woh krur tha, ahankari tha, aur itna vishaila tha ki uske vish se Yamuna ji ka pavitra jal ubalne laga tha, aas-paas ke ped-paudhe jalkar raakh ho gaye the aur upar se udne wale pakshi girkar mar jaate the.

​Lekin leela dekhiye—

​Jab Thakur Shri Krishn ne Yamuna mein chhalang lagayi aur Kaliya ke siron par nritya kiya, toh unhone apne komal charan-kamal seedha uske mahan fano par dhar diye!

​Yeh wahi charan-kamal hain jinhe paane ke liye bade-bade rishi-muni hazaron varsh tapasya mein sukh jaate hain. Yeh wahi charan hain jinhe sakshat Lakshmi Ji bade dhyan aur laad se apne hriday par dharan karti hain ki kahin Prabhu ko kasht na ho.

​Toh fir ek paapi, vish-ugalne wale naag par itna bada anugraha kyun? Use woh kaisa mil gaya jiske liye poora brahmand tarasta hai?

​Iska bada hi pyara aur rahasyamyi uttar sant maharaj muskurakar dete hain:

"Arey, jaante nahi? Thakur Ji ke param bhakt Shri Garud Ji ne use ek baar zordar thappad mara tha!

​Kaliya ka Garud Ji ke sath bair (enmity) ka rishta tha. Par Bhakti-marg ka niyam alag chalta hai—Bhagwan ke kisi nishkapat bhakt se aapka kaisa bhi sambandh jud jaye, chahe anjaane mein ya bair-bhaav mein hi kyun na ho, us bhakt ka sparsh aapko Thakur Ji ki kripa ka patr bana deta hai.

​Garud Ji ke us ek thappad ne Kaliya par bhakt ke sambandh ki aisi chhaap chhod di ki jab dand dene ki baari aayi, toh Bhagwan ne dand bhi charan-kamal arpit karke diya. Jo prahaar bhakt ki taraf se hua tha, wahi aage chalkar Prabhu ke charan-sparsh ka kaaran ban gaya.

​Yahi Vaishnav parampara ka sabse meetha tattva hai:

Ishwar tak pahunchna shayad kathin ho, par unke kisi bhakt ka aanchal ya sparsh agar jeevan ko chhoo jaye—toh Thakur Ji humare paapon ko nahi dekhte, woh bas apne bhakt ke sambandh ko dekhkar hume gale se laga lete hain.

​26 September se 10 October tak Pitru Paksh ka pavitra kaal shuru ho raha hai. Aksar log ise dar ya sankoch ka samay maante hain, par vastav mein yeh hamare purvajon ke prati kritagyata (gratitude) vyakt karne aur unka aashirwad paane ka anmol avsar hai.

​Is vishay par logon ke mann mein kai bhrantiyan hoti hain. Shastron ke aadhar par in mukhya baaton ko samajhte hain:

​1. Gaya Ji mein Shradh kar chuke hain, toh kya ab bhi zaroori hai?

​Bohot se log sochte hain ki ek baar Gaya Ji mein pind daan kar diya toh ghar par shradh ya tarpan ki zaroorat nahi rehti. Par Brahm Puran aur Vishnu Puran kehte hain ki Shradh kewal hamare apne kul tak seemit nahi hai:

​आब्रह्मस्तम्बपर्यन्तं जगत् प्रीणाति मानवः ।

​Jab hum shraddha-purvak tarpan ya ann-daan karte hain, toh Brahmadev se lekar ek chhote se tinke (trin) tak, samast dev, rishi, manushya, pashu-pakshi aur chetna trupt hoti hai. Gaya shradh ke baad bhi nitya varshik shradh aur Pitru Paksh ka tarpan karte rehna shastrasammat hai.

​2. Yadi Pitron ka doosra janam ho gaya ho, toh unhe kaise milega?

​Markandey Puran mein iska sundar samadhan hai:

Jaise videsh se bheje gaye videshi currency bank ke madhyam se yahan local currency mein badal kar milte hain, theek waise hi Prakruti ki ek divya vyavastha hai.

​Hamare dwara liye gaye sankalp, naam aur mantron ko Vishwadev aur Agnishvatt pitru-devta grahan karte hain. Agar purvaj dev yoni mein hain toh yeh daan unhe amrit ke roop mein milta hai; agar pashu yoni mein hain toh ghaas-chare ke roop mein; aur agar manushya hain toh anukul aahar aur sukh ke roop mein pahunchta hai.

​3. Kya striyan Shradh ya Pind Daan kar sakti hain?

​Bilkul kar sakti hain. Valmiki Ramayan mein sakshat Mata Sita dwara Raja Dasharath ke liye Phalgu tat par pind daan karne ka prasiddh ullekh hai. Smriti Sangrah aur Shradh Kalpataru ke anusaar, yadi putra na ho toh patni, mata, beti, bahu ya behen bhi shradh karm karne ki poori adhikarini hain.

​4. Saral Niyam jo koi bhi kar sakta hai (Panchbali Vidhi):

​Yadi aap kisi kaaran-vash poora karmakand na kar paayein, toh in 15 dinon mein nishkapat bhaav se yeh saral seva zaroor karein:

​Gau Seva: Gaay ko hara chara ya roti khilayein.

​Shwan (Dog) & Kaag (Crow): Kutte aur kauve ke liye bhojan ka hissa nikalein.

​Keet (Ants): Peepal ke vriksh ke paas cheentiyon ke liye thoda aanta/shakkar dalein.

​Sadhak/Zarooratmand: Kisi sadachari vyakti ya zarooratmand ko aadar ke sath ann ya vastra ka daan karein.

Pitru Paksh kisi bhay ka naam nahi, balki un aadarneey aatmaon ke prati prem aur aabhar hai jinki wajah se aaj hamara astitva hai. Ek lota shuddh jal aur nirmal bhaav bhi unhe trupt karne ke liye kaafi hai.

​Aap sabhi ko aane wale Pitru Paksh ki shubh sadhana!

Aaj ka padaav hai Jatipura — Govardhan ke bilkul niche basa ek chhota gaon, jahan hai Giriraj Ji ka Mukharvind, yaani unka "mukh" (chehra).

​Mahabharat ka ek prasiddh pad hum sabne suna hai:

दुर्योधन की मेवा त्यागी, साग विदुर घर खायो ।

सबसे ऊँची प्रेम सगाई...

​Jab Shri Krishn shanti-doot bankar Hastinapur gaye, toh Duryodhan ne unke aage chhappan bhog paros diye. Par Krishn ne un sone-chandi ke thaalon ko chhoo-a tak nahi.

Duryodhan ne poochha ki aatithy kyun thukraya, toh Thakur Ji ne bohot sahaj uttar diya:

"Bhojan ke do hi kaaran hote hain—ya toh khane wale ko bhookh ho, ya khilane wale ke hriday mein prem. Na mujhe bhookh hai, na tere mann mein anuraag."

​Rajmahal chhodkar Krishn seedha Vidur ji ki tooti jhopdi ki or nikal pade.

​Vidur ji ghar par nahi the, kewal unki patni Vidurani ji thi. Jaise hi unhone darwaze par sakshat Dwarkadheesh ko dekha, unki dehadhyan (body consciousness) chhoot gayi. Anant brahmand ka swami ek garib ki dehri par khada ho, yeh drishya kisi bhakt ke hriday ke sahan se pare tha.

​Aankhon se aashuon ki dhaar behne lagi. Anand ke aaveg mein unhe na aasan ka dhyan raha, na sansar ka. Ghar mein taaze kele pade the, woh daudkar le aayin aur Krishn ke aage baithkar chhilne lagin.

​Prem ki parakashtha dekhiye—Vidurani ji itni bhaav-magna thi ki kele ka guda zameen par gira rahi thi aur chhilka Krishn ke komal mukh mein de rahi thi.

​Aur humare natkhat, bhaav-grahi Thakur Ji?

​Unhone na roka, na kuch bola. Aankhein moondkar un sukhe chhilkon ko aise anand se chabate rahe jaise Vaikunth ka amrit pa liya ho.

​Itne mein Vidur ji ghar laute aur yeh dekhkar stabdh reh gaye:

"Pagli! Yeh kya anarth kar rahi hai? Trilokinath ko chhilke khila rahi hai?"

​Vidurani ji jab sudh mein aayin aur zameen par pade kele dekhe, toh sharm aur glani se unka gala roondh gaya. Tab Krishn ne muskurate hue Vidur ji ka hath thama aur kaha:

"Kaka, isme dosh mat dekhiye. Aam taur par ras phal ke andar hota hai, par aaj Kaki ne jis nirmal prem se khilaya hai, sara ras is chhilke mein utar aaya hai."

​Hum aksar pooja mein ulajh jaate hain—bartan saaf hain ya nahi, vidhi theek hui ya nahi, bhog mehnga hai ya nahi. Niyam apni jagah theek hain, par Thakur Ji na sone ke thaal ke bhookhe hain, na chhappan bhog ke. Woh toh bas us ek boond anuraag ke pyase hain jo kisi nishkapat hriday se unke liye nikalta hai.

​नासदासीन्नो सदासीत्तदानीं नासीद्रजो नो व्योमा परो यत्।

किमावरीवः कुह कस्य शर्मन्नम्भः किमासीद्गहनं गभीरम्॥

(Rigved 10.129.1 - Nasadiya Sukt)

"Tab na astitva (Sat) tha, na anastitva (Asat). Na aakash tha, na uske pare ka antariksh. Kisne kisko dhak rakha tha? Kahan aur kiski sharan mein? Kya wahan koi athah, agadh jal tha?

"

​Rigved Mandal 10 ka Nasadiya Sukt srishti-utpatti (Cosmic Creation) par likha gaya manushya itihaas ka sabse gehra aur kraantikari dhyan hai. Jahan zyadatar sansarik mat srishti ki shuruat par nishchit dharanaayein thopte hain, wahi Vedic rishiyon ne bina kisi ahankar ke param rahasya ke aage prashn khade kiye.

​Tattv

​Sat aur Asat (Duality) se pare Parabrahm:

Manushya buddhi hamesha dwandv (opposites) mein sochti hai—kisi cheez ka 'hona' (existence) ya 'na hona' (non-existence). Par yeh Sukt kehta hai ki srishti ke aadi mein na Sat tha aur na Asat. Jab kaal (time), disha aur sthan (space) hi vyakt nahi the, tab kisi cheez ka hona ya na hona dono asangik hain. Yeh seedha Nirgun Parabrahm ki or ishara karta hai, jo har parkaar ke dwandv se mukt hai.

​Vedant aur 'Neti-Neti' ka Pratham Beej:

Yeh Sukt buddhi ke daambhik gyan ko todta hai. Upanishadon ka prasiddh sidhant Neti, Neti (Yeh bhi nahi, woh bhi nahi) isi srot se nikalta hai. Parmatma ko kisi ek paribhasha ya seema mein nahi baandha ja sakta. Param saty ka anubhav tabhi hota hai jab gyani yeh swikaar kar le ki us anant ke samne manushya ki kshamata nishprabh hai.

​Intellectual Humility as Highest Devotion:

Rigved ka yeh drishtikon sikhata hai ki sabse unchi aadhayatmik chetna 'sab jaan lene' mein nahi, balki is anant astitva ke aage vinamra aur nishshabd (silent) ho jane mein hai. Jahan buddhi haar maanti hai, wahi se sachi sharanagati aur param vismay (awe) ka janam hota hai.

Hum aksar aadhayatm ko kewal niyam, uttar ya kathaon tak seemit kar dete hain. Par kya humare andar itni aantarik shanti hai ki hum Ishwar ke anant rahasya ke aage bina kisi zidd ke, poori vinamrata se nishshabd khade ho sakein?

Aaj ka padaav hai Bahulavan, Braj ke baarah pavitra vanon mein se ek — aur iski kahani sach mein dil chhoo jaati hai.

Ek gaay thi, Bahula naam ki. Ek din ek sher ne use pakad liya, khaane ke liye. Bahula ne vinti ki — "mujhe ek baar jaane do, apne bachhde ko doodh pilaane, phir main khud wapas aa jaungi tumhe khane ke liye." Sher ne, hairan hoke, use jaane diya.

Bahula ghar gayi, apne bachhde ko sab kuch bata diya. Bachhda bola — "main bhi tumhare saath chalunga, doodh nahi peeunga." Unka malik brahmin bhi apni jaan dene chala aaya, taaki gaay aur bachhda bach jaayein. Teenon sher ke paas pahunche, har ek apni jaan dene ko taiyar. 🙏

Usi pal Krishn khud pragat hue. Bahula ki sacchai se itne prabhavit hue ki unhone sher ka dil badal diya, aur sabko bacha liya. Isi wajah se is van ka naam pada Bahulavan.

​Bhadrapad shukl paksh ki Padm Ekadashi (Parivartini Ekadashi) ki yeh katha swayam Shri Krishn ne Yudhishthir ko sunayi thi, jiska ullekh Puranon mein milta hai.

​The Katha: Raja Mandhata aur Rishi Angira

​Suryavansh ke ek param dharmi chakravarti raja hue — Mandhata. Unke rajya mein praja poori nishtha se dharmik jeevan jeeti thi, par purv karmon ke prabhav se achanak ek samay aisa aaya jab lagaatar teen varsh tak ek boond barish nahi hui.

​Bheeshan akaal pada, khet sookh gaye aur praja triti-triti karne lagi. Raja Mandhata ko samajh nahi aaya ki kis paap ke kaaran aisa hua. Apni praja ki bhalai ke liye woh van ki or nikal pade, jahan unki bhent Brahmadev ke tejaswi putra Rishi Angira se hui.

​Raja ne haath jodkar prathna ki: "Prabhu, main dharm purvak rajya chala raha hoon, phir bhi meri praja dukh jhel rahi hai. Kripya koi nishchit upay batayein."

​Rishi Angira ne unhe Bhadrapad shukl paksh ki Padm Ekadashi ka niyamit vrat karne ko kaha. Raja ne rajmahal lautkar apni poori praja ke sath milkar yeh vrat purna shraddha se kiya. Vrat ke prabhav se sookhe baadal umad aaye, musladhar varsha hui, aur poora rajya punah hariyali aur anand se bhar gaya.

​

​Jab insaan ke saare yatan haar jaate hain aur charo taraf nirasha ka "sookha" pad jata hai, tab sharanagati hi ekmatra rasta bachta hai. Raja Mandhata ne vipatti ka dosh doosron par nahi dala; unhone swayam ko vinamra banakar prabhu ke aage jhuka diya. Jab pura samaj ek man hokar prarthna karta hai, toh banzar sthitiyan bhi jeevit ho uthti hain.

​नमो नमस्ते गोविन्द बुधश्रवणसंज्ञक ।

अघौघसंशयं कृत्वा सर्वसौख्यप्रदो भव ॥

(Padm Puran)

​"Hey Govind! Mere sabhi paapon ka naash karke mujhe samast mangal aur shanti pradan karein."

​Zindagi ke kisi mod par agar aapko lage ki prayas kam pad rahe hain aur ummeed sookh rahi hai, toh koshish ke sath-sath thoda vishwas Thakur Ji par chod dein. Kripa ki barsaat kabhi bhi sthiti badal sakti hai.

Paran Samay aur Durlabh Mahadwadashi Yog:

​Ekadashi Paran: Shastron (Skand Puran) ke anusaar Shravan Nakshatr ke rehte paran karna varjit hai. Yeh nakshatr 23 September subah 9:09 AM tak rahega, isliye kewal Ekadashi vrat ka paran 23 September ko subah 9:09 AM ke baad hi karein.

​Vijaya Mahadwadashi (23 September): 23 September ko Dwadashi, Shravan Nakshatr aur Budhwar ka durlabh sanyog ban raha hai, jise 'Vijaya Mahadwadashi' kaha gaya hai. Is din kiya gaya tap aur upvas hazaron yagyon ke samaan akshay fal deta hai.

​Dono Vrat (Sashakt bhakton ke liye): Agar aap dono din upvas rakh sakte hain, toh 22 aur 23 dono din vrat rakhein. Beech mein paran ki zaroorat nahi hai; sidhe 24 September suryoday ke baad paran karein.

​Kewal Mahadwadashi Vrat: Jo log dono din nirahar nahi reh sakte, woh 22 September ko kewal falahar lein (ann ka poori tarah tyag rakhein) aur 23 ko Mahadwadashi ka purna upvas karke 24 ko paran karein.

​Aap sabhi ko Padm Ekadashi ki dheron shubhkaamnayein.

न तत्र सूर्यो भाति न चन्द्रतारकं नेमा विद्युतो भान्ति कुतोऽयमग्निः।

तमेव भान्तमनुभाति सर्वं तस्य भासा सर्वमिदं विभाति॥

"Wahan na suraj chamakta hai, na chand-taare, na bijli — aag ki toh baat hi kya. Sab kuch usi ek chamakti hui Sattā ki wajah se chamakta hai. Uski hi roshni se yeh poora sansaar prakashit hai."

Yeh shlok Katha Upanishad se hai — . Yeh line kehti hai — jo bhi roshni hum dekhte hain, chahe suraj ho ya chand, woh sab udhaar ki roshni hai. Asli roshni kahin aur se aati hai — us ek Sattā se, jo khud kabhi doobti nahi.

Kabhi kabhi hum bahar itni roshni dhoondte hain — success, tareef, pyaar — bhool jaate hain ki jo cheez humein andar se roshan karti hai, woh kabhi bujhti nahi. Bas dhyaan udhar mudna chahiye. 🙏💛

Aaj milte hain Raskhan se — ek Musalman kavi, jinhe Braj ke sabse pyaare Krishn-bhakt kaviyon mein gina jaata hai.

Kaha jaata hai ki unhone kisi Vaishnav bhakt se Krishn ki sundarta ke kisse sune, aur Vrindavan chale aaye unhe dekhne. Yamuna kinare baithe hue, unhe khud Krishn ke darshan hue, aur usi din se unka poora jeevan Braj ko samarpit ho gaya. 🙏💛

Unka ek amar sher:

मानुष हौं तो वही रसखानि बसौं ब्रज गोकुल गाँव के ग्वारन।

जो पसु हौं तो कहा बसु मेरो चरौं नित नंद की धेनु मँझारन।

"Agar main insaan banoon, toh wahi Raskhan banoon jo Braj ke Gokul gaon ke gwalon mein rahe. Agar pashu banoon, toh koi fikar nahi — Nand ki gayon mein hi charta rahoon."

Raskhan ne humein sikhaya — Krishn ke kareeb rehna hi sabse badi cheez hai, chahe woh kisi bhi roop mein mile. 💛

Aaj ka padaav hai Kumudvan — Mathura ke paas ek gehra, shaant van, jiska naam "Kumud" yaani kamal ke phoolon se pada hai. Kabhi yahan bahut saare kamal khilte the, aur aaj bhi is jagah mein ek alag hi shanti hai.

Yeh un vanon mein se hai jahan bahut kam log jaate hain — na bheed, na shor. Bas ek purana talaab, aur charon taraf gehri khamoshi. Kaha jaata hai Krishn aur unke sakha yahan bhi khele the, isi shanti ke beech. 🪷💛

Kabhi kabhi bhakti ke liye bade mandir nahi, Kumudvan jaisi khamoshi chahiye hoti hai — jahan dil khud-ba-khud shaant ho jaaye. 🙏

Radhe Radhe, agla padaav jald hi! 🌸

Aaj ki kahani thodi alag hai — na koi rakshs, na koi toofan. Sirf ek chhoti si mulakaat, jo bahut kuch sikha jaati hai.

Mathura mein Kubja naam ki ek stree rehti thi — uski peeth teenon jagah se jhuki hui thi, isliye log use "Trivakra" bhi kehte the. Woh Kans ke mahal ke liye chandan ghisne ka kaam karti thi. Ek din Krishn aur Balaram Mathura ki galiyon se guzar rahe the, aur Kubja unhe dekhkar itni khush hui ki usne apna sara chandan unhe hi arpit kar diya — bina kuch soche, bina kuch maange. 🙏💛

Krishn ne uske is chhote se, sacche prem ko dekha. Unhone apne pair se uske paon dabaye, aur thodi si madad se uski thuddi utha di — aur wahi jhuki hui kamar seedhi ho gayi. Kubja, jo saalon se jhuki hui thi, achanak seedhi khadi ho gayi, sundar, gaurav ke saath. ✨🌸

Krishn ne use koi bada updesh nahi diya. Bas uske chhote se prem ka, seedha jawaab diya.

Yeh kahani kehti hai — Bhagwan ko yeh nahi dikhta ki tumhara sharir kaisa hai, tumhara status kya hai. Unhe sirf woh chhota sa, sacha pal dikhta hai jab tum apna dil khol dete ho. 💛

Radhe Radhe, aaj agar tumhara din bhi thoda jhuka hua lage, yaad rakhna — ek sachi bhent, sab kuch seedha kar sakti hai. 🙏🌸
