‘mahakavi ghananand ka prem-nivedan’

da. shri lakhanalalaji khare, em.e., pi-ech.di.
hindi-sahity ke itihas ke bhaktikal mean bhagavatprem ki jo nirmal dhara pravahit huee thi, ritikal ki vasanajany kavita ne use pradooshit karane ka prayatn kiya, parantu ghananand jaise anany sadhakoan ki sajagata se usaki pavanata kalushit n ho saki. ritikal mean ghananand ne prem ke jis udatt svaroop ko akshunn rakha, vah anyatr durlabh hai. manas mean raghavendr sarakar spasht kahate haian ki ve nirmal hriday valoan ko hi prapy haian, unhean chhal-chhidr nahian suhate. nirmal hriday hi prem ka srot hai. kavivar ghananand bhi yahi kahate haian -

ati soodho saneh ko marag hai jahan neku sayanap baank nahian.

tahan saanche chalaian taji apanapau, jhajhakaian kapati je nisaank nahian..

ghananand pyare sujan suno yahaan ek tean doosaroan aank nahian.

tum kaun dhauan pati padhe hau kahau, man lehu pai dehu chhataank nahian.

ghananand ki prem yatra sthool se sookshm ki or huee hai. inaka laukik tatha maansal prem kalantar mean krishn prem mean parinat ho gaya; vah laukik se alaukik ho gaya. dilli samrat muhammadashah rangile ke miramuanshi ghananand madhur kanth ke dhani gayak the aur darabar ki ek ganika-sujan par asakt the. eershyalu darabariyoan ke sh dayantr ke karan badashah ne inhean rajy se nikal diya. ghananand ne sujan se apane sath chalane ki manuhar ki, par usane nirmamatapoorvak asvikar kar diya. ghananand ki aankhoan par p da mohavaran chhinn ho gaya. vyathit ho kar ve mathura a gaye aur shrikrishn ke charanaravindoan mean samarpit ho gaye. apane aradhy par apani premika ke nam ko bhi nyochhavar kar diya, shrikrishn ko hi unhoanne sujan bana diya.

ghananand ki bhakti mean samarpan ka bhav sarvadhik hai aur yahi tattv prem ka pratham anivary svaroop hai. radha madhav ke prati prem-nivedan mean bhakt anubhootipoorvak mangalamayi arati utarata hai-
