भक्त कविरत्न जयदेव जी और उनका श्रीकृष्ण प्रेम

bhakt kaviratn jayadev ji aur unaka shrikrishn prem

prasiddh bhakt kavi jayadev ka janm lagabhag paanch sau varsh poorv bangal ke virabhoomi jile ke antargat kendubilv namak gram mean hua tha. inake pita ka nam bhojadev aur mata ka nam vamadevi tha. ye bhojadev kanyakubj se bangal mean aye hue panch-brahmanoan mean bharadvajagotraj shriharsh ke vanshaj the. mata-pita balyakal mean hi jayadev ko akela chho dakar chal base the. ye bhagavan ka bhajan karate hue kisi prakar apana nirvah karate the. poorv-sanskar bahut achchhe hone ke karan inhoanne kasht mean rahakar bhi bahut achchha vidyabhyas kar liya tha aur saral prem ke prabhav se bhagavan shrikrishn ki param kripa ke adhikari ho gaye the.

inake pita ko usi gaanv ke niranjan namak ek brahman ke kuchh rupaye dene the. niranjan ne jayadev ko sansar se udasin janakar unaki bhagavadbhakti se anuchit labh uthane ke vichar se kisi prakar unake ghar-dvar hathiyane ka nishchay kiya. usane ek dastavez banaya aur akar jayadev se kaha- ‘dekh jayadev! maian tere radha -krishn ko aur gopi -krishn ko nahian janata ya to abhi mere rupaye byaj samet de de, nahian to is dastavez par sahi karake ghar-dvar par mujhe apana kabja kar lene de!’

jayadev to sarvatha niahsprih the. unhean ghar-dvar mean ratti bhar bhi mamata n thi. unhoanne kalam uthakar usi kshan dastavez par hastakshar kar diye. niranjan kabza karane ki taiyari se aya hi tha. usane turant ghar par qabza kar liya. itane mean hi niranjan ki chhoti kanya dau dati huee apane ghar se akar niranjan se kahane lagi- ‘baba! jaldi chalo, ghar mean ag lag gayi; sab jal gaya.’ bhakt jayadev vahian the. unake man mean dvesh-hiansa ka kahian lesh bhi nahian tha, niranjan ke ghar mean ag lagane ki khabar sunakar ve bhi usi kshan dau de aur jalati huee lal-lal lapatoan ke aandar usake ghar mean ghus gaye. jayadev ka ghar mean ghusana hi tha ki agni vaise hi adrishy ho gayi, jaise jagate hi sapana!

jayadev ki is alaukik shakti ko dekhate ki niranjan ke netroan mean jal bhar aya. apani apavitr karani par pachhatata hua. niranjan jayadev ke charanoan mean gir p da aur dastavez ko pha dakar kahane laga- ‘dev! mera aparadh kshama karo, maianne lobhavash tho de-se paisoan ke liye jan-boojhakar beeemani se tumhara ghar-dvar chhin liya hai. aj tum n hote to mera tamam ghar khak ho gaya hota. dhany ho tum! aj maianne bhagavadbhakt ka prabhav jana.’ usi din se niranjan ka hriday shuddh ho gaya aur vah jayadev ke sang se labh uthakar bhagavan ke bhajan-kirtan mean samay bitane laga. usaka jivan bhagavatpremamay ho gaya.
