"pandijji ! pahale purana hisab saf karo phir gu d ki bheli dooanga. purana hi paisa bahut baqaya hai. aise to meri dukan hi band ho jaegi"
"are seth ! hisab to hota rahega gu d to bhijava dena..."
"pandijji maianne kah diya so kah diya... pahale ap hisab kar do bas"
"teri marzi hai seth! vaise gu d ke bina khana achchha to nahian lagata hamako..."
itana kah kar pandit ji udas man se chal die. tho di door hi gaanv ka skool tha.
pandit ji ne chhote pahalavan ko skool ki me d par baithe dekh kar poochha-
"kya bat hai chaudhari kaise muanh lataka ke baitha hai ?"
"kya bataooan pandijji ! b di tangi chal rahi hai. ek ke bad ek sab kam-kaj big date ja rahe haian. khop di bhinnaut ho gee hai, kam hi nahian kar rahi pata neean chakkar kya hai ?"
"chakkar to sidha sa hai, ajakal tula rashi par sanichar chadha hua hai aur teri rashi bhi to tula hi hai."
"to kya karooan phir...ab ap hi batao pandijji maharaj"
"karana kya hai sanichar chadha hai to utarana bhi to p dega !"
"kaise ?"
"kaise kya ! bas tho de se kale til..."
"achchhaaaa"
"tho da sarasoan ka tel"
"achchhaaaa"
"roj savere-savere kuean par naha-dho ke pipal ke charoan taraph kalava baandh ke til aur tel chadha de"
"kitane din ?"
"vo to bad mean bataooanga... pahale shuroo to kar... dhyan rakhana nahana kuean ke hi pani se... "
chaudhari chhote pahalavan ka ghar, seth giradhari lal ke bilkul p dos mean tha. chhote pahalavan ne apana 'sanichar' utarana shuroo kar diya...
"seth ji aaa ... seth ji aaa"
"are kaun a gaya subah tin baje ?"
seth ji ki adat subah der se uthane ki thi, b de anamane hokar unhoanne daravaza khola
"kya bat hai chaudhari sab ! itani subah kaise ?"
"seth ji jaldi se balti, lota, rassi, kalava, tho de kale til aur ek katori mean sarasoan ka tel dedo"
seth ne bina kuchh poochhe sara saman de diya, kyoanki pahalavan sirph paise se hi kamazor tha baqi to usase kisi bat ki mana karane ki himmat is gaanv mean to kya das gaanvoan mean bhi kisi ki nahian thi.
khair... seth ji jaise-taise dobara so gaye. phir ek ghante bad...
"seth ji aaa ... seth ji aaa daravaza kholo"
seth ji ne aankh malate hue daravaza khola
"ab kya hua ?"
"ye apaki balti lota aur rassi..."
"are bad mean lauta dete"
"nahian-nahian amanat to amanat hai"
doosare din, tisare din aur chauthe din bhi vahi subah tin baje
"seth ji aaa ... seth ji aaa"
seth ji ne akhirakar poochh hi liya
"bat kya hai pahalavan rozana subah-subah ye ho kya raha hai ?"
chaudhari ne poora qissa sunaya ki shanichar ne kis tarah pareshan kar rakha hai
"are bhaiya sanichar tum par kya ye sanichar to mujh par chadha hai. ab tum jao tumhara sanichar ab utar gaya hai...chaho to aj sham ko jakar pandijji se poochh lena... thik hai... ab kal se subah tin baje mujhe jagane koee zaroorat nahian hai"
sham ko-
"pandijji ! mera sanichar utar gaya ?"
"utar gaya chaudhari, poori tarah se utar gaya... lo gu d khao... seth ji ne do bheli aj hi bhijavaee haian. b de bhale adami haian bechare, unase ek bheli maango to do bhijava dete haian"
isi samay vahaan se pandit niranjan shastri guzar rahe the, donoan ki bat sunakar ruk ge. niranjan shastri mane hue vidvanh the, pas ke shahar se bhi log unaki salah lene aya karate the.
"kya bat chal rahi haian pandit ? maianne suna hai tum logoan ka achchha-bura karava sakate ho, itani taqat hai tumhare jyotish mean ?"
"bilkul shastri ji agar koee vishvas na kare to sabit kar sakata hooan, bolie kisaka bhala-bura karavana hai, jisaka kahean usi ka chaupat kar dooan"
"to thik mera satyanash karava do" shastri ji gambhir avaz mean bole
"apaka to nahian... haan agar kisi aur ka kahean to ek hafte mean khoon ki ulti na kar jay to mera nam badal dena"
"to phir paramanand ka bura karava do"
"paramanand ? apaka beta ?"
"haan"
ab pandit ji hath jo d kar kh de ho ge
"shastri ji ! ap yahaan tak ho ? maian kan pak data hooan jo apase kabhi bahas karooan ! paramanand apaka ikalauta beta hai aur ap us ka hi biga d karavane ke lie taiyar haian. apaki zid ke age to sab rahu, ketu, shanichar bekar haian."
"bat zid ki nahian hai pandit ! bat zimmedari ki hai. maian apane bhale ya bure ke lie kisi rahu-ketu ko ya kisi ko bhi zimmedar thahara dooan to lanat hai mere manushy hone par... apane karm se hamari saphalata aur asaphalata nishchit hoti hai, na ki bhagy aur grahoan se... samajhe... aur tum bhi samajh lo chhote pahalavan... tumhari buri arthik sthiti ki vajah shanidev nahian balki tumhara sare din gaanv mean idhar se udhar samay nasht karate rahana aur koee rozagar n karana hai."
"maian achchhi tarah samajh gaya sastari ji ! ab mera sanichar to ziandagi bhar ko paramanent utar gaya"
ye qissa to yahian khatm hua...
ab zara ye sochean ki apani asaphalata ko kundali ke dosh se jo dana kahaan ki aqlamandi hai.
kahate haian ki zimmedariyaan sadaiv 'zimmedar iansan' ko dhooandh leti haian. yadi log kisi ko ek zimmedar iansan nahian samajhate to galati logoan ki nahian balki usaki khud ki hi hai.
kabhi bhagy, kabhi rashi-phal, kabhi grahoan ka chakkar; ye sab batean svayan par bharosa karane vale iansan ke muanh se kabhi sunane ko nahian milatian. mahabharat mean yuddh ke samay ek prasang ata hai, jisamean arjun kahata hai ki aj ka yuddh to samapt hua ab kal phir yuddh hoga. is bat par krishna ne arjun ko toka ki jab koee yah nahian bata sakata ki ek pal bad kya hoga to tumane kaise kah diya ki kal yuddh hoga ?
bhagavan ram ke rajyabhishek ka muhoort nikalate samay kisi jyotishi ne nahian bataya ki ram ko rajagaddi ke bajay vanavas milane vala hai. meri samajh mean nahian ata ki guru vashishth akhir kaisi kundali banate aur milate the ki ram ko vanavas, phir sita haran, phir sita vanavas... ye kya majara hai ?
ye ek aisa masala hai, jisaka hal vijnan aur pauranik granthoan ki tulana karane se hota hai.
adi kal se hi bharatiy upamahadvip ke sath-sath vishv bhar mean manushy ke mastishk mean vaijnanik soch bhi kulabulane lagi thi. ek samany dharana bani jo ki prithvi par jivan ke kramik vikas ka vaijnanik vishleshan karati thi aur jo charls darvin ki iv aaulyooshan thy aauri ka kuchh 'desi' roop thi. hinduoan ke avataroan ko agar vaijnanik drishti se dekha jay to-
sabase pahale 'matsyavatar' ata hai. jiv-vijnan ke anusar sabase pahale jivan ki shuruat samudr mean hi huee. bhale hi 'elgi' aur 'amiba' se huee, lekin us samay yahian tak soch ban paee ki sabase pahala jiv machhali hai.
doosara koormavatar: koorm arthath kachchhap (kachhua) kachhua pani mean rahata hai, kiantu saans pani ke bhitar nahian leta aur apane aande bhi zamin par hi deta hai. to yah hua adha pani aur adha dharati ka jiv.
tisara varah avatar: varah shookar (sooar) ko kahate haian. machhali ki tarah gardan n ghuma sakane vala, lekin poori tarah dharati par rahane vala jal premi janavar hai.
narasianh avatar: yah adha pashu aur adha manushy tha. yah socha gaya hoga ki manushy apane adi roop mean pashuoan jaisa hi raha hoga.
vaman avatar: jinaka baune qad ke adami ke roop mean ullekh hai aur inhoanne tin qadamoan mean dharati nap di. isase yahi spasht hota hai ki shuruat ka manushy qad mean chhota tha aur usane dharati ke anek sthanoan par vicharan karana shuroo kar diya tha. vaijnanik shodh bhi yahi batate haian ki manushy bahut shuruat mean qad mean chhota hi raha hoga. 1974 mean 40 lakh sal purana 'loosi' f aausil,[1][2]1992 mean 'ardi' f aausil,[3] aur 1983 'ida' f aausil[4][5] milane se kafi had tak vaijnanikoan ko yahi natije prapt hue. khoj bharat mean bhi ho sakati thian lekin prachin kal se hi bharat mean vaijnanikoan ki upeksha huee hai. jo aj bhi ho rahi hai. sabhi janate haian ki bharat sarakar ne haragovind khurana ko ek prayogashala upalabdh karavane se mana kar diya tha. is karan ve amerika chale gaye aur unhean jaivik gun-dharm (jins) ki khoj ke lie nobel puraskar bhi mila. ajakal koee vaijnanik nahian banana chahata, sab jaise em.bi.e. hi karana chahate haian.
prachin bharat mean vaijnanikoan ke prithvi par kramik vikas ko paribhashit karane vale yah shodh dhare ke dhare rah gaye aur lok-kathavachakoan aur dharmik-kathavachakoan dvara banae ge suruchipoorn kathanakoan ne bazi jit li aur prachalan mean bhi avataroan ki chamatkarik chhavi hi bani rahi. janata in avataroan ki kathaean ras le kar b de anand se sunati thi jabaki vaijnanikoan ki batean behad ganbhir aur niras hoti thian. kathakaroan ko rajashray bhi tha aur samany janata ka samarthan bhi isalie bharatiy vaijnanik kabhi bhi apane bat ko sthapit nahian kar pae.
parashuram avatar: yah samay vah tha jab manushy hath mean shastr rakhane laga tha. jaise inake hath mean parashu yani pharasa hota tha.
ram: yahaan tak ate-ate shastr ke sath astr bhi a gaye jaise- dhanush ban aur ram ne ahalya (aisi bhoomi jisamean hal n chala ho) mean hal chala kar use upajaoo kiya. gautam rrishi ki patni ki katha ki ahalya shap ke karan patthar ki ho gayi thi yahi iangit karati hai. mithila ke janak ne sita (hal ki phal) ka avishkar kiya aur use ram ko bheant svaroop diya. sita ka arth hal ki 'phal' bhi hota hai aur hal dvara bani rekha bhi. ram katha 'kushilavoan' (ek katha-vachak jati) dvara gramoan mean kahi jati thi aur bahut prachalit thi jise bad mean balmiki ne parishkrit kiya aur adhik sundar roop diya.
krishna: krishna ko solah kala se poorn hone ke karan poornavatar kaha gaya hai. shesh sabhi avatar aanshavatar the. granthoan mean ata hai ki ath kala manushy mean hoti haian, ath se adhik kala vale avatar haian. ram barah kala ke aanshavatar the. isamean ek tark yah bhi hai ki krishna chandravanshi the aur chandrama ki solah kalaean haian. ram sooryavanshi the aur soory barah rashiyoan mean banta hua hai. krishna ko mahabharat kal ka manane mean itihasakaroan mean am sahamati nahian hai. mahabharat ki katha 'soot' sunaya karate the, jise sootoan ke mukhiya 'sanjay' ne taiyar kiya tha. isalie is mahakavy ka nam pahale 'jay' tha. us samay lagabhag sat hazar shlok hi the jo bad mean ek lakh se bhi oopar ja pahuanche. kalaantar mean mahabharat ke rachayita ke roop mean sanjay ko sab bhool ge, yad rah gaye vyas. vyasoan ne mahabharat ko vishal roop diya jise ham aj janate haian.
