janm

jab bhagavan varah ne prithh‍vi ko rasatal se late samay hiranh‍yaksh ko mar diya, tab usaka b da bhaee daith‍yaraj hiranh‍yakashipu bahut hi krodhit hua. usane nishh‍chay kiya ki ‘maian apane bhaee ka badala lekar rahooanga.’ apane ko ajey evan amar banane ke liye himalay par jakar vah tap karane laga. usane sahash‍troan varshoan tak ugr tap karake brahma ko santushh‍t kiya. brahma ji ne use varadan diya ki ‘tum kisi ash‍tr-shash‍tr se, brahma ji dvara nirmit kisi prani se, rat mean, din mean, jamin par, akash mean- kahian mare nahian jaoge.’ jab hiranh‍yakashipu tapash‍ya karane chala gaya tha, tabhi devataoan ne daith‍yoan ki rajadhani par akraman kiya. koee nayak n hone se daith‍y harakar dishaoan mean bhag gaye. devataoan ne daith‍yoan ki rajadhani ko loot liya. devaraj inh‍dr ne hiranh‍yakashipu ki path‍ni kayadhoo ko bandi bana liya aur sh‍varg ko le chale. rash‍te mean devarshi narad mil gaye. unh‍hoanne inh‍dr ko roka ki tum daith‍yaraj ki pativrata path‍ni ko mat le jao. inh‍dr ne bataya ki kayadhoo garbhavati hai. usake jab sanh‍tan ho jayagi, tab usake putr ka vadh karake use chho d diya jayaga. devarshi ne kaha- "isake garbh mean bhagavan ka param bhakt hai. usase devataoan ko bhay nahian hai. us bhagavat ko mara nahian ja sakata."

inh‍dr ne devarshi ki bat man li. ve kayadhoo ke garbh mean bhagavan ka bhakh‍t hai’, yah sunakar usaki parikrama karake apane lok ko chale gaye. jab kayadhoo devaraj indr ke banh‍dhan se chho d di gayi, tab vah devarshi narad ke hi ashram mean akar rahane lagi. usake pati jab tak tapash‍ya se n lautean, usake liye doosara nirapad ashray nahian tha. devarshi bhi use putri ki bhaanti manate the aur barabar garbhash‍th balak ko lakshh‍y karake use bhagavadh bhakti ka upadesh kiya karate the. garbhash‍th balak prahlad ne un upadeshoan ko grahan kar liya. bhagavan ki kripa se vah upadesh unh‍hean phir bhoola nahian. samay ane par kayadhoo ne prahlad ko janm diya.

shiksha

narad muni prahlad ko ashirvad dete hue

jab varadan pakar hiranh‍yakashipu lauta, tab usane sabhi devatoan ko jit liya. sabhi lokapaloan ko jitakar vah unake pad ka sh‍vayan upabhog karane laga. use bhagavan se ghor shatruta thi, at: rrishiyoan ko vah kashh‍t dene laga. yajn usane band kara diye. dharm ka vah ghor virodhi ho gaya. usake guru shukrachary us samay tap karane chale gaye the. apane putr prahlad ko usane apane guruputr shanh‍d tatha amark ke pas shiksha pane bhej diya. prahlad us samay paanch hi varsh ke the. ek bar prahlad ghar aye. mata ne unako vash‍trabharanoan se sajaya. pita ke pas jakar unh‍hoanne pranam kiya. hiranh‍yakashipu ne prahlad ko god mean baitha liya. sh‍nehapoorvak unase usane poochha- "beta! tumane jo kuchh padha hai, usamean se koee achh‍chhi bat mujhe bhi sunao to." balak prahlad ne kaha- "pitaji! sansar ke sabhi prani asath sansar mean asakh‍t hokar sad udvigh‍n rahate haian. maian to sabake liye yahi achh‍chha manata hooan ki apana patan karane vale jalahin anh‍dhakoop ke saman gharoan ko chho dakar manushh‍y van mean jakar shrihari ka ashray lean."

hiranh‍yakashipu jor se hans p da. use laga ki kisi shatru ne mere bachh‍che ko bahaka diya hai. usane guruputroan ko savadhan kiya ki ‘ve prahlad ko sudharean. use daith‍yakul ke upayukh‍t arth, dharm, kam ka upadesh dean.’ guruputr prahlad ko apane yahaan le aye. unh‍hoanne prahlad se poochha ki ‘‍tumako yah ulh‍ta jnan kisane diya hai?’ prahlad ne kaha- "gurudev! yah maian hooan aur yah doosara hai, yah to ajnan hai. bhagavan ki is maya se hi jiv mohit ho rahe haian. ve dayamay jis par daya karate haian, usi ka chitt unamean lagata hai. mera chitt to unaki ananh‍t kripa se hi un param purush ki or sahaj khianch gaya hai." guruputroan ne bahut daanta-dhamakaya aur ve prahlad ko arthashash‍tr, danh‍daniti, rajaniti adi ki shiksha dene lage. guru dvara padhayi vidya ko prahlad dhh‍yanapoorvak sikhate the. ve guru ka kabhi apaman nahian karate the aur n unh‍hoanne vidya ka hi tirash‍kar kiya, par us vidya ke prati unake man mean kabhi ash‍tha nahian huee.

guruputroan ne jab unh‍hean bhali-bhaanti sushikshit samajh liya, tab daith‍yaraj ke pas le gaye. hiranh‍yakashipu ne apane vinayi putr ko god mean baithakar phir poochha- "batao, beta! tum apani samajh se uth‍tam jnan kh‍ya manate ho?" prahlad ne kaha- "bhagavan ke gun evan charitroan ka shravan, unaki lilaoan tatha namoan ka kirtan, un mangalamay ka sh‍maran, unake shricharanoan ki seva, un param prabhu ki pooja, unaki vanh‍dana, unake prati dash‍yabhav, unase sakhh‍y, unh‍hean ath‍manivedan- yah navadha bhakti hai. is navadha bhakti ke ashray se bhagavan mean chitt lagana hi samash‍t adhh‍yayan ka sarvoth‍tam phal maian manata hooan." hiranh‍yakashipu to krodh se lal-pila ho gaya. usane god se prahlad ko dhakh‍ka dekar bhoomi par patak diya. guruputroan ko usane daanta ki tum logoan ne mere putr ko ulti shiksha dekar shatru ka vh‍yavahar kiya hai. guruputroan ne bataya ki isamean hamara koee dosh nahian hai. prahlad pita dvara tirash‍krit hokar bhi shanh‍t kh de the. unh‍hean koee kshobh nahian tha. unh‍hoanne kaha- "pitaji! ap rushh‍t n hoan. guruputroan ka koee dosh nahian hai. jo log vishayasakh‍t haian, ghar ke, parivar ke moh mean jinaki buddhi bandhi hai, ve to ugale hue ko khane ke saman, narak mean le jane vale vishayoan ke, jo bar-bar bhoge gaye haian, sevan karane mean lage haian. unaki buddhi apane-ap ya doosare ki prerana se bhi bhagavan mean nahian lagati. jaise ek anh‍dha doosare anh‍dhe ko marg nahian bata sakata, vaise hi jo saansarik sukhoan ko hi param purusharth mane hue haian, ve bhagavan ke sh‍varoop ko nahian janate. ve bhala, kisi ko kh‍ya marg dikha sakate haian. samh‍poorn kh‍leshoan, sab anarthoan ka nash to tabhi hota hai, jab buddhi bhagavan ke shricharanoan mean lage. paranh‍tu jab tak mahapurushoan ki charan-raj mash‍tak par dharan n ki jay, tab tak buddhi nirmal hokar bhagavan mean lagati nahian."

pita dvara hatya ka adesh

nanh‍ha-sa balak tribhuvanavijayi daith‍yaraj ke samane nirbhay hokar is prakar unake shatru ka paksh le, yah asahy ho gaya daith‍yaraj ko. chilh‍lakar hiranh‍yakashipu ne apane kroor sabhasad daith‍yoan ko ajna di- "jao, turant is dushh‍t ko mar dalo." asur bhale, trishool, talavar adi lekar ek sath ‘maro! kat dalo.’ chilh‍late hue paanch varsh ke balak par toot pade. par prahlad nirbhay kh de rahe. unh‍hean to sarvatr apane dayamay prabhu hi dikhayi p date the. darane ka koee karan hi nahian jan p da unh‍hean. asuroan ne poore bal se apane ash‍tr-shash‍tr bar-bar chalaye, kiantu prahlad ko koee kh‍lesh nahian hua. unako tanik bhi chot nahian lagi. unake sharir se chhoote hi ve hathiyar tukade-tukade ho jate the.

ab hiranh‍yakashipu ko ashh‍chary hua. usane prahlad ko marane ka nishh‍chay kar liya. anek upay vah karane laga. matavale hathi ke samane hath-pair baandhakar prahlad dal diye gaye, par hathi ne unh‍hean sooand se uthakar mash‍tak par baitha liya. kothari mean unh‍hean band kiya gaya aur vahaan bhayankar sarp chhode gaye, par ve sarp prahlad ke pas pahuanchakar keanchuoan ke saman sidhe ho gaye. jangali sianh jab vahaan chho da gaya, tab vah palatoo kuth‍te ke saman pooanchh hilakar prahlad ke pas ja baitha. prahlad ko bhojan mean ugr vish diya gaya, kiantu usase un par koee prabhav n hua, vish jaise unake udar mean jakar amrit ho gaya ho. anek dinoan tak bhojan to kh‍ya, jal ki ek booand tak prahlad ko nahian di gayi, par shithil hone ke badale ve jh‍yoan-ke-th‍yoan bane rahe. unaka tej badhata hi jata tha. unh‍hean parvat se giraya gaya aur path‍thar baandhakar samudr mean phaianka gaya. donoan bar ve sakushal bhagavan nam ka kirtan karate nagar mean laut aye.

b da bhari lak diyoan ka parvat ekatr kiya gaya. hiranh‍yakashipu ki bahan holika ne tap karake ek vash‍tr paya tha. vah vash‍tr agni mean jalata nahian tha. holika vah vash‍tr odhakar prahlad ko god mean lekar us lak diyoan ke dher par baith gayi. us dher mean agni laga di gayi. holika to bhash‍m ho gayi. pata nahian, kaise usaka vash‍tr u d gaya usake deh se, kiantu prahlad to agni mean baithe hue pita ko samajha rahe the- "pitaji! bhagavan se dvesh karana chho d dean. 'shrihari' nam ka yah prabhav to dekhean ki yah agni mujhe ath‍yanh‍t shital lag rahi hai. ap bhi 'shrihari' nam lean aur sansar ke samash‍t tapoan se isi prakar nirbhay ho jayan." daith‍yaraj hiranh‍yakashipu ke anek daith‍yoan ne maya ke prayog kiye, kiantu maya to prahlad ke samh‍mukh tikati hi nahian thi. unake netr uthate hi maya ke drishh‍y apane-ap nashh‍t ho jate. guruputr shanh‍d tatha amark ne abhichar ke dvara prahlad ko marane ke liye krith‍ya uth‍panh‍n ki, parantu us krith‍ya ne guruputroan ko hi ulte mar diya. prahlad ne bhagavan ki prarthana karake guruputroan ko phir se jivit kiya. yoan marane ki cheshh‍ta karane valoan ko unake marane par jila diya. is prakar daith‍yaraj ne anekoan upay kar liye prahlad ko marane ke, par koee saphal n hua. jisaka chitt bhagavan mean laga hai, jo sarvatr apane dayamay prabhu ko prath‍yaksh dekhata hai, bhala usaki tanik-si bhi hani ve sarvasamarth prabhu kaise hone de sakate haian.

gurugrih mean prahlad

ab daith‍yaraj ko bhay laga. ve sochane lage ki ‘kahian yah nanh‍ha-sa balak meri mrith‍yu ka karan n ho jay.’ guruputroan ke kahane se varun ke pash mean baandhakar prahlad ko unh‍hoanne phir gurugrih bhej diya. shiksha tatha sang ke prabhav se balak sudhar jaye, yah unaki ichh‍chha thi. gurugrih mean prahlad apane guruoan ki padhayi vidya padhate to the, par unaka chitt usamean lagata nahian tha. jab donoan guru ashram ke kam mean lag jate, tab prahlad apane sahapathi balakoan ko bula lete. ek to ye rajakumar the, doosare ath‍yanh‍t namr tatha sabase sh‍neh karane vale the, at: sab balak khelana chho dakar inake bulane par inake samip hi ekatr ho jate the. prahlad b de prem se un balakoan ko samajhate the- "bhaeeyo! yah janam vh‍yarth nashh‍t karane yogh‍y nahian hai. yadi is jivan mean bhagavan ko n paya gaya to bahut b di hani huee. ghar-dvar, sh‍tri–purush, rajh‍y-dhan adi to du:kh hi dene vale haian. inamean moh karake to narak jana p data hai. indriyoan ko vishayoan se hata lene mean hi sukh aur shanti hai. bhagavan ko pane ka sadhan sabase achh‍chhe roop mean is kumaravash‍thaoan mean hi ho sakata hai. b de hone par to sh‍tri, putr, dhan adi ka moh man ko baandh leta hai aur bhala, vriddhavash‍tha mean koee kar hi kh‍ya sakata hai. bhagavan ko pane mean koee b da parishram bhi nahian. ve to ham sabake hriday mean hi rahate haian. sab praniyoan mean ve hi bhagavan haian, at: kisi prani ko kashh‍t nahian dena chahiye. man ko sada bhagavan mean hi lagaye rahana chahiye." sidhe-sade saral-chitt daith‍y balakoan par prahlad ke upadesh ka prabhav p data tha. bar-bar sunate-sunate ve us upadesh par chalane ka prayath‍n karane lage. shukrachary ke putroan ne yah sab dekha to unh‍hean bahut bhay hua. unh‍hoanne prahlad ko daith‍yaraj ke pas le jakar sab batean batayian.

hiranh‍yakashipu ka vadh

ab hiranh‍yakashipu ne apane hath se prahlad ko marane ka nishh‍chay kiya. usane garajakar poochha- "are moorkh! too kisake bal par mera barabar tiraskar karata hai? maian tera vadh karooanga. kahaan hai tera vah sahayak? vah ab tujhe akar bachaye to dekhooan." prahlad ne namrata se uth‍tar diya- "pitaji! ap krodh n karean. sabaka bal us ek nikhil shaktisinh‍dhu ke sahare hi hai. maian apaka tirash‍kar nahian karata. sansar mean jiv ka koee shatru hai to usaka aniyantrit man hi hai. uth‍pathagami man ko chho dakar doosara koee kisi ka shatru nahian. bhagavan to sab kahian haian. ve mujh mean haian, ap mean haian, apake hath ke is khadg mean haian, is khamh‍bhe mean haian, sarvajn haian." "ve is khamh‍bhe mean bhi haian?" hiranh‍yakashipu ne prahlad ki bat poori hone nahian di. usane sianhasan se uthakar poore jor se ek ghooansa khamh‍bhe par mara. ghooanse ke shabh‍d ke sath hi ek mahabhayankar doosara shabh‍d hua, jaise sara brahmanh‍d phat gaya ho. sab log bhayabhit ho gaye.‍ hiranh‍yakashipu bhi idhar-udhar dekhane laga. usane dekha ki vah khamh‍bha bich se phat gaya hai aur usamean se manushh‍y ke sharir evan sianh ke mukh ki ek adbhut bhayankar akriti prakat ho rahi hai. bhagavan nrisianh ke prachanh‍d tej se dishaean jal-si rahi thian. ve bar-bar garjan kar rahe the. daith‍y ne bahut uchhal-kood ki, bahut paiantare badale usane, kiantu anh‍t mean nrisianh bhagavan ne use pak d liya aur rajasabha ke dvar par le jakar apane janu par rakhakar nakhoan se usak hriday pha d dala. daith‍yaraj hiranh‍yakashipu mara gaya.

bhagavan ke sneh patr

hiranyakashipu ke vadh ke bad bhi bhagavan nrisianh ka krodh shanh‍t nahian hota tha. ve bar-bar garjana kar rahe the. bhagavan brahma, shankar tatha doosare sabhi devataoan ne door se hi unaki sh‍tuti ki. pas ane ka sahas to bhagavati lakshmi ji bhi n kar sakian. ve bhi bhagavan ka vah vikaral kruddh roop dekhakar dar gayian. anh‍t mean brahma ji ne prahlad ko nrisianh bhagavan ko shanh‍t karane ke liye unake pas bheja. prahlad nirbhay bhagavan ke pas jakar unake charanoan par gir gaye. bhagavan ne sh‍neh se unh‍hean uthakar apani god mean baitha liya. ve bar-bar apani jibh se prahlad ko chatate hue kahane lage- "beta prahlad! mujhe ane mean bahut der ho gayi. tujhe bahut kashh‍t sahane p de. too mujhe kshama kar de."

prahlad ka kanh‍th bhar aya. aj tribhuvan ke sh‍vami unake mash‍tak par apana abhay kar rakhakar unh‍hean sh‍neh se chat rahe the. prahlad dhire se uthe. unh‍hoanne donoan hath jo dakar bhagavan ki sh‍tuti ki. b de hi bhaktibhav se unh‍hoanne bhagavan ka gunagan kiya. anh‍t mean bhagavan ne unase varadan maangane ko kaha. prahlad ne kaha- "prabho! ap varadan dene ki bat karake meri pariksha kh‍yoan lete haian? jo sevak sh‍vami se apani seva ka purash‍kar chahata hai, vah to sevak nahian, vh‍yapari hai. ap to mere udar sh‍vami haian. apako seva ki apeksha nahian hai aur mujhe bhi seva ka koee purash‍kar nahian chahiye. mere nath! yadi ap mujhe shuddh varadan hi dena chahate haian to maian apase yahi maangata hooan ki mere hriday mean kabhi koee kamana hi n uthe." phir prahlad ne bhagavan se prarthana ki- "mere pita apaki aur apake bhakt meri ninh‍da karate the, ve is pap se chhoot jayan."

bhagavan ne kaha- "prahlad! jis kul mean mera bhakt hota hai, vah poora kul pavitr ho jata hai. tum jisake putr ho, vah to param pavitr ho chuka. tumh‍hare pita to ikh‍kis pidhiyoan ke sath pavitr ho chuke. mera bhakt jis sh‍than par uth‍panh‍n hota hai, vah sh‍than dhanh‍y hai. vah prithh‍vi tirth ho jati hai, jahaan mera bhakt apane charan rakhata hai." bhagavan ne vachan diya‍ ki "ab maian prahlad ki sanh‍tanoan ka vadh nahian karooanga." kalh‍paryanh‍t ke liye prahlad amar hue. ve bhakh‍taraj apane mahabhagavat pautr bali ke sath ab bhi sutal mean bhagavan ki aradhana mean nith‍y tanh‍may rahate haian.
