महाभारत की महत्ता

mahabharat adi parv ke ‘aanshavataran parv’ ke aantargat adhyay 62 ke anusar mahabharat ki mahatta ka varnan is prakar hai-

janamejay ne kaha - dvijashreshth apane kuruvanshiyoan ke charitrarup mahan mahabharat-namak samh‍poorn itihas ka bahut sankshep se varnan kiya hai. nishh‍pap tapodhan ab us vichitr arth vali katha ko vish‍tar ke sath kahiye; kh‍yoanki use bish‍tar poorvak sunane ke liye mere man mean b da kautuhal ho raha hai vipravar ap pun: poore vish‍tar ke sath yah katha sunavean. maian apane poorvajoan ke is mahan charitr ko sunate-sunate tript nahian ho raha hooan. sab manushh‍yoan dvara jinaki prashansa ki jati hai, un dharmajn panh‍davoan ne jo yuddh-bhoomi mean samash‍t avadhh‍y sainikoan ka bhi vadh kiya tha, isaka koee chhota ya sadharan karan nahian ho sakata narashreshth panh‍dav shaktishali aur niraparadh the to bhi unh‍hoanne durath‍ma kauravoan ke liye hue mahan kh‍leshoan ko kaise chupachap sahan kar liya? dvijottam apani vishal bhujaoan se sushobhit hone vale bhimasen mean to das hajar hathiyoan ka bal tha. phi‍r unh‍hoanne kh‍lesh uthate hue bhi krodh ko kis liye rok rakha tha?.

drupad kumari krishh‍na bhi sab kuchh karane mean samarth, satisadhh‍vi devi thian. dhritarashtr ke durath‍ma putroan dvara sataye jane par bhi unh‍hoanne apani krodhapoorn drishti se un sabako jalakar bhash‍m kh‍yoan nahian kar diya.? kunh‍ti ke donoan putr bhimasen aur arjun tatha madrinanh‍dan nakul aur sahadev bhi us samay dusht kauravoan dvara akaran sataye gaye the. un charoan bhaiyoan ne jue ke durvh‍yasan mean phanse hue raja yudhishthir ka sath kh‍yoan diya.? dharmath‍maoan mean shreshth dharmaputr dharm ke jnata the, mahan kh‍lesh mean p dane yogh‍y kadapi nahian the, to bhi unh‍hoanne vah sab kaise sahan kar liya? bhagavan shrikrishn jinake sarathi the, panh‍dunanh‍dan arjun akele hi vanoan ki barsha karake samash‍t senaoan ko, jinaki sankhh‍ya bahut b di thi, kis prakar yamalok pahuancha diya? tapodhan yah sab vritanh‍t ap thik-thik mujhe bataiye. un maharathi viroan ne vibhinn sh‍thanoan aur avasaroan mean jo-jo karm kiye the, vah sab sunaiye.

vaishamh‍payanaji bole- maharaj isake liye kuchh samay niyat kijiye; kh‍yoanki is pavitr akhh‍yan ka shrivh‍yasaji ke dvara jo kramanusar varnan kiya gaya hai, vah bahut vish‍trit hai aur vah sab apake samaksh kahakar sunana hai. sarvalok poojit amit tejash‍vi mahamana maharshi vh‍yasaji ke samh‍poorn mat ka yahaan varnan karuanga. asim prabhavashali sath‍yavati nanh‍dan vh‍yasaji ne punh‍yath‍ma panh‍davoan ki yah katha ek lakh shh‍lokoan mean kahi hai. jo vidvan is akhh‍yan ko sunata hai aur jo manushh‍y sunate haian, ve brahmalok mean jakar devataoan ke saman ho jate haian.

yah rrishiyoan dvara prashansit puratan itihas shravan karane yogh‍y sab granh‍thoan mean shreshth hai. yah vedoan ke saman hi pavitr tatha uttam hai. isamean arth aur dharm ka poornarup se upadesh kiya jata hai. is param pavan itihas se moksh buddhi prapt hoti hai. jinaka sh‍vabhav athava vichar khota nahian hai, jo danashil, sath‍yavadi aur astik haian, aise logoan ko vh‍yas dvara bicharit vedash‍varup is mahabharat ko jo shravan karata hai, vah vidvan abhisht arth ko prapt kar leta hai. sath hi vah bhroon hatya jaise pap ko bhi nasht kar deta hai, isamean sanshay nahian hai. is itihas ko shravan karake ath‍yanh‍t kroor manushh‍y bhi rahu se chhoote hue chanh‍drama ki bhaanti sab papoan se mukt ho jata hai. yah ‘jay’ namak itihas vijay ki ichh‍chha vale purush ko avashh‍y sunana chahiye. isaka shravan karane vala raja bhoomi par vijay pata aur sab shatruoan ko parash‍t kar deta hai. yah putr ki prapti karane vala aur mahan mangalakari shreshth sadhan hai.

yuvaraj tatha rani ko baramh‍bar isaka shravan karate rahana chahiye, isase vah vir putr athava rajh‍y sianhasan par baithane vali kanh‍ya ko janh‍m deti hai. amit meghavi vh‍yasaji ne ise punh‍yamay dharmashastr, uttam arthashastr tatha sarvoth‍m mokshashastr bhi kaha hai. jo vartaman kal mean isaka path karate haian tatha jo bhavishh‍y mean ise suneange, unake putr seva parayan aur sevak sh‍vami ka priy karane vale hoange. jo manav is mahabharat ko sunata hai, vah sharir, vani aur man ke dvara kiye hue samh‍poorn papoan ko th‍yag deta hai. jo doosaroan ke dosh n dekhane vale bharatavanshiyoan ke mahan janh‍m vritanh‍tarup mahabharat shravan karate haian, unh‍hean is lok mean bhi rog-vh‍yadhi ka bhay nahian hota, phi‍r paralok mean to ho hi kaise sakata hai?.

lok mean jinake mahan karm vikhh‍yat haian, jo samh‍poorn vidyaoan ke jnan dvara udbhasit hote the aur jinake dhan evan tej mahan the, aise mahamana panh‍davoan tatha anh‍y kshatriyoan ki ujh‍javal kirti ko lok mean phailane vale aur punh‍y karm ke ichh‍chhuk shrikrishh‍nadvaipayan vedavh‍yas ne is punh‍yamay mahabharat granh‍th ka nirman kiya hai. yah dhan, yash, ayu, punh‍y tatha sh‍varg ki prapti karane vala hai. jo manav is lok mean punh‍y ke liye pavitr brahmanoan ko is param punh‍yamay granh‍th ka shravan karata hai, use shashvat dharm ki prapti hoti hai. jo sada kauravoan ke is vikhh‍yat vansh ka kirtan karata hai, vah pavitr ho jata hai. isake siva use vipul vansh ki prapti hoti hai aur vah lok mean ath‍yanh‍t poojaniy hota hai. jo brahman niyam poorvak brahmachary ka palan karate hue varsha ke char mahine tak niranh‍tar is punh‍yaprad mahabharat ka path karata hai, vah sab papoan se mukt ho jata hai. jo mahabharat ka path karata hai, use samh‍poorn vedoan ka parangat janana chahiye.

isamean devataoan, rajarshiyoan tatha punyath‍ma brahmarshiyoan ke jinh‍hoanne apane sab pap dho diye haian, charitr ka varnan kiya gaya hai. isake siva is granh‍th mean bhagavan shrikrishh‍n ki mahima ka kirtan kiya jata hai. deveshvar bhagavan shiv aur devi parvati ka isamean varnan hai tatha anek mataoan se uth‍pann hone vale kartikey ji ke janh‍m ka prasang bhi isamean kaha gaya hai. brahmanoan tatha gauoan ke mahath‍mh‍y ka nirupan bhi is granh‍th mean kiya gaya hai. is prakar yah mahabharat samh‍poorn shrutiyoan ka samooh hai. dharmath‍ma purushoan ko sada isaka shravan karana chahiye. jo vidvan parv ke din brahmanoan ko isaka shravan karata hai, usake sab pap dhul jate haian aur vah sh‍vargalok ko jitakar sanatan brahm ko praph‍t kar leta hai. jo raja is mahabharat ko sunata hai, vah sari prithh‍vi ke rajh‍y ka upabhog karata hai. garbhavati sh‍tri ka shravan kare to vah putr ko janh‍m deti hai. kumari kanh‍ya sune to usaka shighr vivah ho jata hai. vh‍yapari vaishh‍y yadi mahabharat shravan karean to unaki vh‍yapar ke liye ki huee yatra saphal hoti hai. shooravir sainik ise sunane se yuddh mean vijay pate haian. jo astik aur dosh drishti se rahit hoan, un brahmanoan ko nith‍y isaka shravan karana chahiye. ved-vidya ka adhh‍yayan evan brahmachary vrat poorn karake jo sh‍natak ho chuke haian, un vijayi kshatriyoan ko aur kshatriyoan ke adhin rahane vale sh‍vadharm parayan vaishh‍yoan ko bhi mahabharat shravan karana chahiye bharat! sab dharmoan mean yah mahabharat shravanarup shreshth dharm poorvakal se hi dekha gaya hai.

rajan! visheshat: brahman ke mukh se ise sunane ka vidhan hai. jo baramh‍bar athava pratidin isaka path karata hai, vah param gati ko praph‍t hota hai. pratidin chahe ek shlok ya adhe shlok athava shlok ke ek charan ka hi path kar le, kiantu mahabharat ke adhh‍yayan se shoonh‍y kabhi nahian rahana chahiye. is mahabharat mean mahath‍ma rajarshiyoan ke vibhinh‍n prakar ke janh‍m-vrittanh‍toan ka varnan hai. isamean manh‍tr-padoan ka prayog hai. anek drishtiyoan (matoan) ke anusar dharm ke sh‍varup ka vivechan kiya gaya hai. is granh‍th mean vichitr yudvoan ka varnan tatha rajaoan ke abhh‍yuday ki katha hai.

tat! is mahabharat mean rrishiyoan tatha ganh‍dharvoan evan rakshasoan ki kathaaian haian. isamean vibhinn prasangoan ko lekar vish‍tarapoorvak vakh‍y rachana ki gayi hai. isamean punh‍y tirthoan, pavitr deshoan, vanoan, parvatoan, nadiyoan aur samudr ke bhi mahath‍mh‍y ka pratipadan kiya gaya hai. punh‍y pradashoan evan nagaroan ka bhi varnan kiya gaya hai. shreshth upachar aur alaukik parakram ka bhi varnan hai. is mahabharat mean maharshi vh‍yas ne sath‍kar-yog (sh‍vagat-sath‍kar ke vividh prakar) ka nirupan kiya hai tatha rathasena, ashv-sena aur gaj sena ki vh‍yooh rachana tatha yuddh kaushal ka varnan kiya hai. isamean anek shaili ki vakh‍y yojana-kathop-kathan ka samavesh hua hai. saraansh yah hai ki is granh‍th mean sabhi vishayoan ka varnan hai.

jo shraddh karate samay anh‍t mean brahmanoan ko mahabharat ke shlok ek vaturthaansh bhi suna deta hai, usaka kiya hua vah shraddh akshay hokar pitaroan ko avashh‍y prapt ho jata hai. din mean indriyoan athava man ke dvara jo pap ban jata hai athava manushh‍y janakar ya anajan mean jo pap kar baithata hai vah sab mahabharat ki katha sunate hi nasht ho jata hai. isamean bharatavanshiyoan ke mahan janh‍m-vrittanh‍t ka varnan hai, isaliye isako ‘mahabharat’ kahate haian. jo mahabharat nam ka yah nirukt (vh‍yuth‍pattiyukt arth) janata hai, vah sab papoan se mukt ho jata hai. vah bharatavanshi kshatriyoan ka mahan aur adbhut itihas hai. at: niranh‍tar path karane par manushh‍yoan ko b de-b de pap se chhu da deta hai. shaktishali aptakam munivar shrikrishh‍nadvaipayan vh‍yasaji prati-din prat:kal uthakar sh‍nan-sandhh‍ya adi se shuddh ho adi se hi mahabharat ki rachana karate the. maharshi tapash‍ya aur niyam ka ashray lekar tin varshoan mean is granh‍th ko poora kiya hai.

isaliye brahmanoan ko bhi niyam mean sthir hokar hi is katha ka shravan karana chahiye. jo brahman shrivh‍yasaji ki kahi huee is punh‍yadayini uttam bharati katha ka shravan karayeange aur jo manushh‍y ise suneange, ve sab prakar ki cheshta karate hue bhi is bat ke liye shok karane yogh‍n nahian haian ki unh‍hoanne amuk karm kh‍yoan kiya aur amuk karm kh‍yoan nahian kiya. dharm ki ichh‍chha rakhane vale manushh‍y ke dvara yah‍ sara mahabharat itihas poornarup se shravan karane yogh‍y hai. aisa karane se manushh‍y siddhi ko prapt kar leta hai. is mahan punh‍yadayak itihas ko sunane matr se hi manushh‍y ko jo santosh prapt hota hai, vah sh‍vargalok prapt kar lene se bhi nahian milata. jo punh‍yath‍ma manushh‍y shraddhapoorvak is adbhut itihas ko sunata aur sunata hai, vah rajasooy tatha ashvamedh yajn ka phal pata hai. jaise aishvaryapoorn samudr aur mahan parvat meru donoan ratnoan ki khan kahe gaye haian, vaise hi mahabharat ratnash‍varup kathaoan aur upadeshoan ka bhanh‍dar kaha jata hai. yah mahabharat vedoan ke saman pavitr aur uttam hai. yah sunane yogh‍y to hai hi, sunate samay kanoan ko sukh dene vala bhi hai. isake shravan se anh‍t:karan pavitr hota aur uttam shil-sh‍vabhav ki vriddhi hoti hai. rajan jo vachak ko yah mahabharat dan karata hai, usake dvara samudr se ghiri huee samh‍poorn prithh‍vi ka dan samh‍pann ho jata hai. janamejay mere dvara kahi huee is ananh‍d dayini divh‍y katha ko tum punh‍y aur vijay ki prapti ke liye poornarup se suno. pratidin prat:kal uthakar is granh‍th ka nirman karane vale mahamuni shrikrishh‍nadvaipayan ne mahabharat namak is adbhut itihas ko tin varshoan mean poorn kiya hai. bharatashreshth dharm, arth, kam aur moksh ke samh‍banh‍dh mean jo bat is granh‍th mean hai, vahi anh‍yatr bhi hai. jo isamean nahian hai, vah kahian bhi nahian hai.
