श्रीधर स्वामी

shridhar svami ke vishay mean pramanik samagri to upalabdh nahian hai, jo kianvadantiyaan haian, unh‍hian ke adhar par kuchh janakari hai. mahapurushoan ke jivan ke sath‍y ko aisi kianvadantiyaan hi bahut kuchh prakat kar pati haian.

eesa ki dasavian ya gh‍yarahavian sadi ki bat hogi. dakshin bharat ke kisi nagar mean vahaan ke raja aur mantri mean marg chalate samay bhagavan ki kripa tatha prabhav ke samh‍banh‍dh mean bat ho rahi thi. mantri kah rahe the- "bhagavan ki upasana se unaki kripa praph‍t karake ayogh‍y bhi yogh‍y ho jata hai, kupatr bhi sath‍patr ho jata hai, moorkh bhi vidvan ho jata hai." sanyog ki bat ya dayamay bhagavan ki ichh‍chha, raja ne dekha ki ek balak aise patr mean tel liye ja raha hai, jisaka upayog koee tho da samajhadar bhi nahian karega. raja ne mantri se poochha- "kh‍ya yah balak bhi buddhiman ho sakata hai? mantri ne b de vishh‍vas ke sath kaha- "bhagavan ki kripa se avashh‍y ho sakata hai."

bhagavan nrisianh dvara varadan

balak bulaya gaya. pata laga ki vah brahman balak hai. usake mata-pita use bachapan mean chho dakar paralok chale gaye the. pariksha ke liye nrisianh mantr ki diksha dilakar use aradhana mean laga diya gaya. balak bhi sab prakar se bhagavan ke bhajan mean lag gaya. us anath balak ki bhakti dekhakar anathoan ke ve ekamatr nath prakat ho gaye. nrisianh roop mean darshan dekar bhagavan ne balak ko varadan diya- "tumh‍hean ved, vedaang, darshanashash‍tr adi ka samh‍poorn jnan hoga aur meri bhakti tumh‍hare hriday mean nivas karegi." balak aur koee nahian, ve charitranayak shridhar sh‍vami hi the.

grih tyag

ab is balak ki vidvatta ka kh‍ya poochhana. bhagavan ki di huee vidya ki lok mean bhala, kaun barabari kar sakata tha. b de-b de vidvan inaka samh‍man karane lage. raja inh‍hean adar dene lage. dhan ka abhav nahian raha. vivah hua aur path‍ni ayi. parantu bhagavan ke bhakt vishayoan mean ulajha nahian karate aur n dayamay bhagavan hi bhaktoan ko sansar ke vishay mean asakh‍t rahane dete haian. grihash‍th hokar bhi inaka chith‍t ghar mean lagata nahian tha. sab kuchh chho dakar keval prabhu ka bhajan kiya jay, isake liye inake pran t dapate the. inaki sh‍tri garbhavati huee, pratham sanh‍tan ko janh‍m dekar vah paralok chali gayi. sh‍tri ki mrith‍yu se inh‍hean du:kh nahian hua. inh‍hoanne ise prabhu ki kripa hi mana. parantu ab navajat balak ke palan-poshan mean vh‍yash‍t rahana inh‍hean akharane laga. ye vichar karane lage- "maian mohavash hi apane ko is bachh‍che ka palan-poshan karane vala manata hooan.

jiv apane karmoan se hi janh‍m leta hai aur apane karmoan ka hi phal bhogata hai. vishh‍vabhar bhagavan hi sabaka palan tatha rakshan karate haian." ye shishu ko bhagavan ki daya par chho dakar bhajan ka nishchay karake ghar chho dane ko udyat hue, kintu bachh‍che ke moh ne ek bar roka. lilamay prabhu ki lila se inake samane ghar ki chhat se ek pakshi ka anh‍ da bhoomi par gir p da aur phoot gaya. anda pak chuka tha. usase lal-lal bachh‍cha nikalakar apana mukh hilane laga. inako aisa laga ki is bachh‍che ko bhookh lagi hai, yadi abhi kuchh n mila to yah mar jayaga. usi samay ek chhota ki da u dakar phoote anh‍ de ke ras par a baitha aur usamean chipak gaya. pakshi ke bachh‍che ne use kha liya. bhagavan ki yah lila dekhakar shridhar sh‍vami ke hriday mean bal a gaya. ye vahaan se kashi chale aye. vishh‍vanathapuri mean akar ye bhagavan ke bhajan mean talh‍lin ho gaye.

tikaean

'gita', 'bhagavat', 'vishh‍nupuran' par shridhar sh‍vami ki tikaean milati haian. inaki tikaoan mean bhakti tatha prakam ka akhand pravah hai. ekamatr shridhar sh‍vami hi aise haian ki jinaki tika ka sabhi samh‍praday ke log adar karate haian. kuchh logoan ne inaki bhagavat ki tika par apatti ki, us samay inh‍hoanne venimadhav ji ke mandir mean bhagavan ke pas granh‍th rakh diya. kahate haian ki sh‍vayan bhagavan ne anek sadhu-mahath‍maoan ke samh‍mukh vah granh‍th uthakar hriday se laga liya. bhagavan ke aise ladale bhakt hi prithh‍vi ko pavitr karate haian.
