brahman dvara shalagram pratima ki maang

ek din udhar se ek brahman devata nikale. unh‍hoanne dekha ki yah chamar donoan pairoan ke bich shalagram ji ki sunh‍dar moorti ko dabakar us par aujar ghir raha hai. brahman ko du:kh hua yah dekhakar. ve akar kahane lage- "bhaee ! maian tumase ek vash‍tu maangane aya hooan. brahman ki ichh‍chha poori karane se tumh‍hean punh‍y hoga. tumh‍hara yah path‍thar mujhe bahut sunh‍dar lagata hai. tum isako mujhe de do. ise n pane se mujhe b da du:kh hoga. chaho to isake badale das-paanch rupaye maian tumh‍hean de sakata hooan."

ramadas ne kaha- "pandit ji ! yah path‍thar hai to mere b de kam ka hai. aisa chikana path‍thar mujhe aj tak nahian mila hai; par ap isako n pane se du:khi hoange, at: ap hi le jaiye. mujhe isaka moolh‍y nahian chahiye. apaki kripa se parishram karake mera aur mere sh‍tri-putr ka pet bhare, itane paise maian kama leta hooan. prabhu ne mujhe jo diya hai, mere liye utana paryaph‍t hai." pandit ji moorti pakar b de prasanh‍n hue. ghar akar unh‍hoanne sh‍nan kiya. panchamrit se shalagram ji ko sh‍nan karaya. vedamantroan ka path karate hue shodashopachar se poojan kiya bhagavan ka. isi prakar ve nith‍y pooja karane lage. ve vidvan the, vidhipoorvak pooja bhi karate the; kiantu unake hriday mean lobh, eershh‍ya, abhiman, bhogavasana adi durgun bhare the. ve bhagavan se nana prakar ki yachana kiya karate the.

bhagavan ki ichh‍chha

ramadas ashikshit tha, par usaka hriday pavitr tha. usamean n bhogavasana thi, n lobh tha. vah rookhi-sookhi khakar santushh‍t tha. shuddh ho ya ashuddh, par sattvik shraddha se vishh‍vasapoorvak vah bhagavan ka nam leta tha. bhagavan shalagram apani ichh‍chha se hi usake ghar gaye the. jab vah bhajan gata hua bhagavan ki moorti par aujar ghisane ke liye jal chho data, tab prabhu ko lagata ki koee bhakt purush-sookh‍t se mujhe sh‍nan kara raha hai. jab vah donoan pairoan mean dabakar us moorti par rakhakar cham da katata, tab bhavamay sarveshh‍var ko lagata ki unake aangoan par chanh‍dan-kash‍toori ka lep kiya ja raha hai. ramadas nahian janata tha ki jise vah sadharan path‍thar manata hai, ve shalagram ji haian, kiantu vah apane ko sab prakar se bhagavan ka das manata tha. isi se usaki sab kriyaoan ko sarvath‍ma bhagavan apani pooja manakar sh‍vikar karate the.

brahman ka sh‍vaph‍n

idhar ye pandit ji b di vidhi se pooja karate the, par ve bhagavan ke sevak nahian the. ve dhan-samh‍patti ke das the. ve dhan-samh‍patti ki prapti ke liye bhagavan ko sadhan banana chahate the. bhagavan ko yah kaise ruchata. ve to ni:sh‍varth bhakti ke vash haian. bhagavan ne brahman ko sh‍vaph‍n diya- "pandit ji ! tumh‍hari yah adamh‍barapoorn pooja mujhe tanik bhi nahian ruchati. maian to ramadas chamar ke nishh‍kapat prem se hi prasanh‍n hooan. tumane meri pooja ki hai. meri pooja kabhi vh‍yarth nahian jati. at: tumh‍hean dhan aur yash milega. par mujhe tum us chamar ke ghar prat: kal hi pahuancha do." bhagavan ki ajna pakar brahman dar gaya. doosare din sabere hi sh‍nanadi karake shalagram ji ko lekar vah ramadas ke ghar pahuancha. usane kaha- "ramadas ! tum dhanh‍y ho. tumh‍hare mata-pita dhanh‍y haian. tum b de punh‍yath‍ma ho. bhagavan ko tumane vash mean kar liya hai. ye bhagavan shalagram haian. ab tum inaki pooja karana. maian to papi hooan, isaliye meri pooja bhagavan ko pasand nahian ayi. bhaee ! tumh‍hara jivan pavitr ho gaya. tum to bhavasagar se par ho chuke."

nity pooja-path

ramadas ne brahman ke charanoan mean pranam kiya. unaka hriday bhagavan ki kripa ka anubhav karake ananh‍d mean bhar gaya. ve sochane lage- "maian din, ajnani, nich jati ka papi prani hooan. n mujhamean shauch hai, n sadachar. rat-din cham da chhilana mera kam hai. mujh-jaise adham par bhi prabhu ne itani kripa ki. prabho ! tum sachamuch hi patitapavan ho."

bhagavan ko ek chhote sianhasan par virajaman kar diya unh‍hoanne. ab ve nith‍y pooja karane lage. dhandha-rojagar prem ki badh mean bah gaya. ve dinabhar, ratabhar kirtan karate. kabhi hansate, kabhi rote, kabhi gan karate, kabhi nachane lagate, kabhi gumasum baithe rahate. bhagavan ke darshan ki ichh‍chha se katar kanh‍th se pukar karate- "dayadham ! jab ek brahman ke ghar ko chho dakar ap is nich ke yahaan aye, tab mere netroan ko apani adabhut roopamadhuri dikhakar kritarth karo, nath ! mere pran tumh‍hare bina t dap rahe haian."

bhagavan ka brahman roop mean agaman

ramadas ki vh‍yathit pukar sunakar bhagavan ek brahman ka roop dharanakar unake yahaan padhare. ramadas unake charanoan par gir gaye aur gi d-gi dakar prarthana karane lage ki- "bhagavan ka darshan ho, aisa upay bataiye." bhagavan ne kaha- "tum is durasha ko chho d do. b de-b de yogi, muni janh‍m-janh‍m tap, dhh‍yan adi karake bhi kadachit hi bhagavan ka darshan pate haian." ramadas ka vishh‍vas digane vala nahian tha. ve bole- "prabho ! ap thik kahate haian. maian nich hooan, papi hooan. mere pap evan nichata ki or dekhakar to bhagavan mujhe darshan kadapi nahian de sakate; parantu mere ve sh‍vami dinabanh‍dhu haian, daya ke sagar haian. avashh‍y ve mujhe darshan deange. avashh‍y ve is adham ko apanayeange."

bhagavan ka chaturbhuj sh‍varoop mean darshan

ab bhagavan se nahian raha gaya. bhakt ki aturata evan vishh‍vas dekhakar ve apane chaturbhuj sh‍varoop se prakat ho gaye. prabhu ne kaha- "ramadas ! yah thik hai ki jati nahian badal sakati; kiantu meri bhakti se bhakt ka pad avashh‍y badal jata hai. mera bhakt brahmanoan ka, devataoan ka bhi adaraniy ho jata hai. tum mere divh‍y roop ke darshan karo." ramadas bhagavan ka darshan karake kritarth ho gaya.
