"ta manmanaska matprana madarthe tyaktadaihika:.
mamev dayitan preshthamatmanan manasa gata:॥"

bhagavan shrikrishn kahate haian- "un gopiyoan ka man mera man ho gaya hai; unake pran, unaka jivanasarvasv maian hi hooan. mere liye unhoanne apane sharir ke sare sambandhoan ko chho d diya hai. unhoanne apani buddhi se keval mujhako hi apana pyara, priyatam aur atma man liya hai."

krishn aur gopiyaan

sarveshvar ki vah premadhinata, bhaktavashyata dekhane hi yogy thi, kiantu in vatsalyavati gopikaoan ki apeksha bhi nirmalatar, nirmalatam prem ka nirdashan vyakt hua madhubhav se shrikrishnachandr ke prati atmanivedan, sarvasamarpan karane vali shrigopijanoan mean. braj ki in gopakumarikaoan ka, gopasundariyoan ka shrikrishnaprem jagat anadi itihas mean sarvatha apratim bana rahega. prem ki jaisi ananyata inamean huee aur phir sarvatha nirbadh bhagavatseva ka jo adhikar inhean prapt hua, yah anyatr kahian hai hi nahian. us samay ki bat hai, jab brajarajakumar reangate hue apane aangan mean khel rahe the. kuchh b di ayu ki gopakumarikaean bhi apani jananiyoan ke sath nandabhavan mean inhean dekhane aya karati thian, par shrikrishnachandr ke mahamarakat-shyamal aangoan par drishti p date hi inaki dasha vichitr ho jati. ye aisi nishpand ho jatian, manoan sachamuch kanakaputtalika hi hoan. n jane inaki samast shaishavochit chanchalata us samay kahaan chali jati. jo gopabalak the, ve jab shrikrishnachandr ke samip ate, unaki mataean jab unhean nilasundar ke pas latian, tab ve to atishay ullas mean bharakar kilakane lagate, atyant chanchal ho uthate. par unase sarvatha viparit dasha in balikaoan ki hoti, ve vichitr gambhir ho jatian. keval inaki hi nahian; jo bahut chhoti thian, athava shrikrishnachandr ki samavayaska ya unase kuchh mas b di thian, unaki bhi yahi dasha hoti. vriddha gopikaean spasht dekhatian- "yah sukumar kalika-si nanhian balika-jise janmean ek varsh bhi poora nahian hua hai, usane dekha yashoda ke nilamani ki or keval adhe kshanabhar hi, aur bas, mata ki god mean vah sarvatha sthir ho gayi, usake netroan ka spandan bhi ruddh ho gaya."

gopi banane ka varadan

mataean ek bar to ashchary karane lagatian. par phir turant hi unaka samadhan ho jata- "is saanvare shishu ka roop hi aisa hai-j d mean vikriti ho jati hai, ye to chetan haian." un mataoan ko kya pata ki ye samast balikaean braj mean janmi hi haian shrikrishnachandr ke liye. ve nahian janati ki ye nandanandan shrikrishnachandr hi treta ke dasharathanandan shriramachandr haian. koshalapur se ye mithila padhare the. shrijanakanandini ka svayanvar tha. dhanurbhag ke anantar shrivaideh ne jayamala radhavendr ke gale mean dali. raghukulachandr ka vivah sampann hua. us samay mithila ki purandhriyaan unaka koti-madan-sundar roop dekhakar vimohit ho gayian. pranoan mean utkantha jag uthi- "ah, hamare pati ye hote !" kiantu sarvasamarth shriraghav us samay to maryadapurushottam the. isiliye satyasakalp prabhu ne yahi varadan diya- "deviyo ! shok mat karo, ma shokan kurut striyah; dvapar ke ant mean tumhara manorath poorn hoga-

shrikrishn aur gopiyaan

"dvaparante karishyami bhavatinaan manorathamh."

poori shraddha evan bhakti ke dvara tum sab braj mean gopi banogi-

"shraddhaya paraya bhaktya vraje gopyo bhavishyath."

usi ke parinamasvaroop ve mithila ki lalanaean hi balikaean banakar unake ghar padhari haian, shrikrishnachandr ke charoo padapadmoan mean nyochhavar hone ke liye hi ayi haian. bhala is rahasy ko ve vriddha bholi gopikaean kya janean?

isake atirikt koshal desh ki or lautate hue doolha shriram ko dekhakar n jane kitani puraramaniyaan vimohit hueean aur asheshadarshi koshalendr-nandan ne unhean bhi ek mook svikriti di thi- "braje gopyo bhavishyath." apane vanavasi roop ke darshan se mugdh hue dandakarany ke rrishiyoan ko bhi unhoanne dvapar ke ant mean gopi banane ka varadan diya tha. prajaranjan ka pavitr ardash rakhate hue raja ramachandr ne apani pranapriya shrijanaki ka-unake sarvatha nity pavitr rahane par bhi-parityag kiya tatha phir jab-jab ve yajn karane baithe, tab-tab pratyek yajn mean hi unaki ardhaangini ke sthan svarnanirmit sita virajatian. sarveshvar ki maya ka kya kahana hai. ek din ve aganit svarnasita-moortiyaan chaitanyaghan ban gayian aur sabake liye raghavendr ke mukh se yah varadan ghoshit hua tha- "tum sabhi puny vrindavan mean gopi banogi, maian tumhara manorath poorn karooanga." ruchiputr shriyajnabhagavan ke saundary se vimohit huee devaanganaoan ne tapasya karake, parama bhakti se shrihari ko santusht kar gopi banane ka varadan mila tha. n jane kin-kin ne shrihari ke vibhinn avataroan ke dvara pratyaksh ya mook ‘evamastu’ ka varadan pakar dvapar ke sheshakal mean gopipad ka saubhagy labh kiya tha. prapanchagat kitane b dabhagi jivoan ne, b de-b de rrishi-muniyoan ne, sakshat brahmavidya adi ne shat-sahasr janmoan ki upasana se jagadishvar ki kripa prapt ki thi aur unake mukh se nirgat ‘tathastu’ ka bal lekar braj ki gopi banane ke adhikari hue the. in sabaki gan kisake pas hai? ekamatr shrikrishnachandr ki achintyalila-mahashakti ko hi isaka poorn vivaran jnat rahata hai. braj ki sidhi-sadi vriddha gopiyoan ko is rahasy ka kya pata.

itana hi nahian, ve bechari nahian janatian ki svayan golokavihari hi braj mean padhare haian aur jab ve aye haian, tab golokaviharini bhi ayi hi hoangi, unake nity parikaroan ka bhi avataran avashy hua hoga. dhara ka duahsah daityabhar se pi dit hona, vidhata ke samip jakar apana duahkh nivedan karana, brahma ka jagannath ki stuti karana, paramapurush ke avataran ka sandesh prapt karana, paramapurush ki pranapriya ki seva ke liye suravanitaoan ke prati bhootal par utpann hone ka odash hona-yah katha in abhir-gopikaoan ne suni nahian hai. isiliye ve kalpana hi nahian kar sakian ki in gopabalikaoan ke roop mean nityalila ke mahamahim parikar haian, prapanch ke aganit saubhagyashali sadhanasiddh pran haian, jo yahaan gopi banakar kritarth hone aye haian. ve svayan kaun haian, yahi unhean pata nahian hai. phir apani putriyoan-in gop-balikaoan ke sambandh mean kaise janean. shrikrishnachandr ki aghatan-ghatana-patiyasi yogamaya ki yavanika ki ot mean kya hai, ise koee jan nahian sakata. smriti ka jitana aansh lilaras-poshan ke liye avashyak hota hai, utane aansh par ye yogamaya avaran hata leti haian; shesh bhag poornataya avrit hi rahata hai. yahi karan hai ki yashodanandan ko dekhate hi in nanhian-si balikaoan ki, athava kianchit-vayaska gopakumarikaoan ki dasha aisi kyoan ho jati hai, isaka vastavik rahasy ve vriddha gopiyaan nahian jan sakati thian.

vivah

din bitate kya der lagati hai. jo vayaska gopakumarikaean thian, ve byah ke yogy ho gayian. gopoan ne vibhinn brajoan mean achchhe ghar-var dekhakar unaka byah kiya. vivah ke sabhi sanskar vidhivat sampann hue, bhaanvarean phirian. par adi se ant tak ek atishay ashcharyamayi ghatana un dulahin bani huee gopabalikaoan ki aankhoan ke samane ghatit ho rahi thi.

gopiyoan ke sath shrikrishn

ise aur to kisi ne nahian dekha; par balika spasht roop se anubhav kar rahi thi, var ke-usake bhavi pati ke anu-anu mean nandanandan shrikrishnachandr samaye hue haian unake sath bhaanvarean nandanandan ne hi di haian, usaka panigrahan shrikrishnachandr ne kiya hai. vah svapn dekh rahi hai, ya jagrat mean hi sachamuch aisa ho raha hai-vah kuchh samajh nahian pati thi. usaka rom-rom ek anivarchaniy anand mean parilup ho raha tha. bhrant-si huee vah apane byah ki vidhi dekhati ja rahi thi. jisake sath usane apani sagaee ki bat sun rakhi thi, vah var kshanabhar ke liye bhi usake drishtipath mean n aya. aanchal ki ot mean vispharit netroan se vah ekatrit samuday ki or kabhi dekhati, par kuchh bhi nirnay nahian kar pati. nirnay kar lena usake vash ki bat hi nahian hai. vastav mean to bat yah hai-gopi n to svapn dekh rahi thi, n use matibhram hua tha. vah sarvatha saty ka hi darshan kar rahi thi. sachamuch shrikrishnachandr ne hi usaka panigrahan kiya tha. jo ekamatr unaki hi ho chuki hai, unake liye hi braj mean ayi hai, unhean parapurush sparsh bhi kaise kar sakata hai. yah to lilaras ki vriddhi ke liye vivah ka abhinay tha. isaka niyantran kar rahi thi shrikrishnachandr ki achintyamahashakti yogamaya.

lokadrishti mean yah pratiti huee ki amuk gopabala ka amuk gopabalak ke sath vivah hua. par sanatan saty siddhant hai-brajasundariyoan ka kabhi kshanabhar ke liye bhi mayik patiyoan se milan hota hi nahian. ek rat mean ek hi sthan par saty ko avrit kar yogamaya kise kab pratiti kara deangi, ise ve hi janati haian. gopabala ne abhi-abhi saty ko pratyaksh dekha hai; kiantu punah usaki smriti mean age kitana ulat-pher ve karati raheangi aur parinamasvaroop unaka shrikrishnaprem uttarottar kitana nikharata jayaga-isaki iyatta nahian hai. jo ho, prayah pratyek vivah mean hi dulahin gopi ko auroan ki pratiti se sarvatha viruddh uparyukt anubhooti hi huee. aur jahaan aisi anubhooti nahian huee vahaan age chalakar shrikrishnamilan mean, bhagavatpadapadmoan ke sparsh se kianchit vyavadhan ho hi gaya. un-un brajasundariyoan ko shrikrishnachandr ki charanaseva mili avashy; par is deh se nahian-is deh ko chho d dene ke anantar. jo gopakumarikaean shrikrishnachandr ki samavayaska thian ya unase kuchh hi chhoti ya b di thian, unake liye ek doosari hi bat huee. samast braj brihadvan se uthakar vrindavan chala aya aur vahaan shrikrishnachandr ki vatsacharanalila arambh huee. phir unaki ayu ka chaitha varsh arambh hone par sharad-rritu mean brahma ne samast govats evan gopashishuoan ka apaharan kiya. ek varsh ke liye svayan shrikrishnachandr hi vibhinn brajoan ke asankhy balak evan govatsoan ka roop dharan kar lila karate rahe. kisi brajavasi gop ko gandh tak n mili ki unake putr to brahma ki maya se mugdh hokar kahian anyatr p de haian. isi bich mean yogamaya ki prerana se sab ne apani kanyaoan ki sagaee ki. dharm ki sakshi dekar sab ne brajabalak bane hue shrikrishn ko hi apani kanya dene ka vachan de dala. sabake anajan mean hi shrikrishnachandr un samast gopakumarikaoan ke bhavi pati ban gaye. is prakar gopasundariyoan ke, gopakumarikaoan ke shrikrishnasevadhikar prapt hone ki bhoomika prastut huee.

gopiyoan ki manodasha

shrikrishn ki gopiyoan sang lilaean

jab nandanandan ko athavaan varsh laga evan lagabhag ek mas aur bit gaya; vrindavan mean sharad ki shobha vikasit hone lagi, tab shrigopijanoan mean shrikrishnamilan ki utkantha (poorvarag) jagane ka kary bhi sampann ho gaya. avashy hi ek prakar se nahian. svechchhamay shrikrishnachandr ne shrigopijanoan ke premavivardhan ke liye jahaan jo paddhati uparyukt thi, usi ko apanaya. unake paugandavayahshrit shyamal aangoan ke antaral se kaishor jhaank-sa raha tha. aur sach to yah hai ki ve to nityakishor haian. isi kaishor roop ki avashyakata thi shrigopijanoan ki aankhoan ke liye, unake premopahar ko grahan karane ke liye. isiliye vah unake samaksh vyakt hone laga aur phir ek din gooanj uthi vanshidhvani. isase poorv bhi vanshi ka svar braj-sundariyoan ne suna avashy tha. par aj ki tan nirali thi. karnarandhroan mean pravesh karate hi gopasundariyoan ki dasha kuchh-ki-kuchh ho gayi. ve sachamuch hi kshanoan mean hi sarvatha badal gayian. hriday ka sanchit shrikrishn ka prem um da aur usake pravah mean unake pran, man, indriyaan, sharir-sabhi bah chale. yogamaya ne is avasar par bhi apane aanchal ki kianchit-chhaya si dal di. gopasundariyoan ki smriti ka kuchh aansh dhak gaya or ve sochane lagian, anubhav karane lagian ki isase poorv unhoanne kabhi shrikrishnachandr ke darshan nahian kiye, kabhi vanshi ki yah amritadhara karnapath mean ayi hi nahian. pratham bar shrikrishnachandr ke darshan hue haian, pratham bar vanshi se jharate hue piyoosh ka ve pan kar saki haian. kitani to yah bhi bhool gayian ki yah shyamavarn saundaryanidhi balak kaun haian aur paraspar ek doosare ke parichay poochhane lagian- "ri bahin ! ye kinake putr haian?"

gopasundariyoan ke liye shrikrishnachandr ke atirikt any kuchh raha hi nahian. ve man-hi-man nandanandan par nyochhavar ho gayian. ghar, mata-pita, bhaee-bandhu, pati, sage-sambandhi-sabaki mamata simatakar shrikrishnachandr mean kendrit ho gayi. ab ve anyamanask-si rahane lagian. nirantar unake netr sajal rahane lage. pranoan mean ek vichitr vyatha thi, jise ve prakat bhi nahian kar pati thian, sah bhi nahian sakati thian. shrikrishnadarshan ke liye satat vyakul rahati thian. pratah evan sayan apane dvar par kh di ho jatian. van jate hue, braj lautate hue shrikrishnachandr ke darshan jahaan jis sthan ho sakate, vahian ve chali jatian. grihakary p da rahata. guyajan khijhate, jhallate, samajhate; kiantu sir nicha kar lene ke atirikt ve aur koee uttar n detian. kitanoan ke aang pile p d gaye. abhibhavakoan ne samajha ye rugn ho gayi haian. unake liye vaidy bulaye gaye. vaidyoan ne bataya-kisi gahari chinta ke karan inaki aisi avastha ho gayi hai. par kya chianta hai, yah kisi ko pata nahian lag saka. bhav badhate-badhate yah dasha huee ki unake dvara grihakary hona sarvatha asambhav ho gaya. ve karean to kya karean. unake netroan mean, man mean shrikrishnachandr sama gaye the. sachet karane par ve karyabhar sanbhalane avashy chalatian, par jyoan chalatian ki dikhata, age-pichhe dahine-baanyean-charoan or se hameean gherakar shrikrishnachandr sath chal rahe haian. jhadoo dene chalati, to pratit hota jhadoo ke kan-kan mean shrikrishn samaye hue haian. dahi ke bhaand mean, manthan-dori mean, mathani mean shrikrishnachandr kh de hansate dikhate. ve kaise dahi biloyean? bartan maanjane jatian, unake kankan se jhan-jhan shabd hota aur unhean anubhav hone lagata-shrikrishnachandr ke noopur ki runajhun-runajhun dhvani hai. ve chakit netroan se dvar ki or dekhane lagatian aur unhean yahi bhan hota- "vah dekho, dvar par ve kh de hai." dipak sanjokar ve dipadan karane chalatian, par dipak ki lau mean shrikrishnachandr nachate dikhate aur dipak hath se gir jata. chalate-phirate samay shrikrishnachandr unake samane nirantar bane rahate the. is paristhiti mean ghar ke kam kaise hoan. kitani to unmatt pray ho gayian. sir par dahi ka mat liye ve atian nandabraj mean dahi bechane aur ‘dahi lo’ ke badale pukar uthatian 'shrikrishn lo'. log chakit netroan se dekhate aur ve bavari-si is vithi se us vithi mean phirati rahatian. jinaka bahy-jnan lupt nahian hua tha evan hriday mean nirantar shrikrishn ki sphoorti rahane par bhi kisi prakar apane ko sanbhalane mean samarth thian, unaka kary rah gaya tha-keval shrikrishn nam ka gan-panaghat par, yamuna tat par, goshth mean, brajapur ki galiyoan mean, hat mean milakar paraspar-ek doosari ke prati apane pranavallabh shrikrishnachandr ke sambandh ki charcha karate rahana.

sadaiv shrikrishnachintan

in gopikaoan mean n rahi thi lajja aur n raha tha koee bhay. ye nishchay kar chuki thian- din-rat shrikrishnachintan, shrikrishnacharitr ki charcha karati rahakar ve tanmay ho gayian. un gopakumariyoan ki dasha bhi vichitr thi. ye prayah shrikrishnachandr ke saman vayaki hi thian. kiantu jaise nandanandan kaishor shobha se mandit ho chuke the, vaise hi inake shaishav ki or se navayauvan vyakt hone ki prastavana kar raha tha. sab-ki-sab avivahita thian. in sabane dekha brajarajatanay ki us saundaryarashi ko; inake pran, man mean bhi vah roop sama gaya. phir to aradhana arambh huee nandanandan ko patiroop mean pane ke liye. hemant ke pratham mas mean dal-hi-dal ye yamuna ke tat par arunoday se poorv ekatr ho jatian. paraspar ka sneh bhi adbhut hi tha. ek-doosari ka hath pak de uchchakanth se shrikrishnachandr ki lila ka gan karati chalatian. snan karake jal ke samip bhagavati katyayani mahamaya devi ki balukamayi pratima banakar vividh upacharoan se pooja karatian aur antastal ki shraddha se prarthana karatian- "mata ! nandanandan ko hamara pati bana do, ham tumhean namaskar kar rahi haian- 'nandagopasuant devi patian mean kuru te namah'." ek mas tak nirbadh yah vrat chalata raha. yogeshvareshvar shrikrishnachandr ka hriday dravit ho utha inaki yah atulaniy lagan dekhakar. charachar ke adhishvar, sarvavyapak, antaryami, vishvatma, brajarajanandan svayan padhare unake vrat ko saphal karane ke liye. chiraharan-shrikrishnamilan mean badhak samast avaranoan ko door kar dene ki pavitratam lila sampann huee. aj in gopakumarikaoan ka sarvasv-samarpan-sanskar poorn hua svayan akhilatma mahamaheshvar-unake hi priyatam pranavallabh vrajaraj-dulare ke hath sevadhikar prapti ka vachan pakar ve kritarth huee. pranoan mean gooanj utha shrikrishnachandr ke dvara diya hua us samay ka yah varadan- "dekhoan, agami sharadiy ratriyoan mean tum sab mere sath raman karogi. mere svaroopanand ka nirbadh upabhog, meri seva ka sukh paogi- 'mayema ransyath kshapaah'."

maharas

isake doosare varsh sharadiy poornima ki ujjval ratri mean gopasundariyoan ka, gopakumarikaoan ka maharas ke liye ahvan hua. inaki milanotkantha charam sima ko sparsh karane lagi thi. thik usi samay shrikrishnachandr ki baansuri punah baj uthi. aj is samay ki dhvani pravisht bhi huee keval unake hi kanoan mean.
