pauranik itihas

is prasiddh shivaliang ki sthapana ke sambandh mean itihas is prakar hai- ek dharmatma, sadachari aur shiv ji ka anany vaishy bhakt tha, jisaka nam ‘supriy’ tha. jab vah nauka (nav) par savar hokar samudr ke jalamarg se kahian ja raha tha, us samay ‘darook’ namak ek bhayankar balashali rakshas ne us par akraman kar diya. rakshas darook ne sabhi logoan sahit supriy ka apaharan kar liya aur apani puri mean le jakar use bandi bana liya. chooanki supriy shiv ji ka anany bhakt tha, isalie vah hamesha shiv ji ki aradhana mean tanmay rahata tha. karagar mean bhi usaki aradhana band nahian huee aur usane apane any sathiyoan ko bhi shankar ji ki aradhana ke prati jagarook kar diya. ve sabhi shivabhakt ban gaye. karagar mean shivabhakti ka hi bol-bala ho gaya.

jab isaki soochana rakshas darook ko mili, to vah krodh mean ubal utha. usane dekha ki karagar mean supriy dhyan lagae baitha hai, to use daantate hue bola– ‘are vaishy! too aankhean band karake mere viruddh kaun-sa shadyantr rach raha hai?’ vah zor-zor se chillata hua dhamaka raha tha, isalie us par kuchh bhi prabhav n p da.

ghamandi rakshas darook ne apane anucharoan ko adesh diya ki supriy ko mar dalo. apani hatya ke bhay se bhi supriy dara nahian aur vah bhayahari, sankatamochak bhagavan shiv ko pukarane mean hi laga raha. us samay apane bhakt ki pukar par bhagavan shiv ne use karagar mean hi darshan diya. karagar mean ek ooanche sthan par chamakile sianhasan par sthit bhagavan shiv jyotirliang ke roop mean use dikhaee diye. shankaraji ne us samay supriy vaishy ka apana ek pashupatastr bhi diya aur usake bad ve antardhan (lupt) ho gaye. pashupatastr (astr) prapt karane ke bad supriy ne usak bal se samache rakshasoan ka sanhar kar dala aur ant mean vah svayan shivalok ko prapt hua. bhagavan shiv ke nirdeshanusar hi us shivaliang ka nam ‘nageshvar jyotirliang’ p da. ‘nageshvar jyotirliang’ ke darshan karane ke bad jo manushy usaki utpatti aur mahatmy sambandhi katha ko sunata hai, vah samast papoan se mukt ho jata hai tatha sampoorn bhautik aur adhyatmik sukhoan ko prapt karata hai-

• uparyukt jyotirliang ke atirikt nageshvar nam se do any shivaliangoan ki bhi charcha granthoan mean prapt hoti hai. matantar se in liangoan ko bhi kuchh log ‘nageshvar jyotirliang kahate haian.
• inamean se ek nageshvar jyotirliang nijam haidarabad, andhr pradesh gram mean avasthit haian. manamad se dronachalam tak jane vali relave par parabhani namak prasiddh steshan hai. parabhani se kuchh hi doori par poorna jankshan hai, jahaan se relamarg par ‘chareandi’ namak steshan hai, jahaan se lagabhag 18 kilomitar ki doori ‘audhagram’ hai. steshan se motaramarg dvara ‘audhagram’ pahuancha jata hai.
• isi prakar uttarakhand pradesh ke almo da janapad mean ek ‘yogesh ya ‘jageshvar shivaliang’ avasthit hai, jise nageshvar jyotirliang’ bataya jata hai. yah sthan almo da se lagabhag 25 kilomitar uttar poorv ki or hai, jisaki doori nainital se lagabhag 100 kilomitar hai. yadyapi shiv puran ke anusar samudr ke kinare dvaraka puri ke pas sthit shivaliang hi jyotirliang ke roop mean pramanit hota hai.

aitihasik karan

‘jageshvar shivaliang ko nageshvar jyotirliang kahane ya manane ke kuchh pramukh aitihasik karan is prakar haian-–

• dvadash jyotirliangoan ke path mean ‘nagesh darookavane’ aisa ullekh milata hai. almo da ke samip sthit shivaliang jageshvar ke nam se jana jata hai. aisi sthiti mean ‘yogesh’ kis prakar nagesh ban gaye? is sandarbh mean dhyan dene yogy bat yah hai ki kashmir prant ke paha diyoan tatha vibhinn maidani kshetroan se anek mean paundrak, dravid, kamboj, yavan, shak pallav, rad, kirat, darad, nag aur khas adi pramukh thian. mahabharat ke anusar ye sabhi jatiyaan bahut parakrami tatha sabhyata-sampann thian. jab pandavoan ko in logoan se sangharsh karana p da tab unhean bhi jnan hua ki ye sabhi kshatriy dharm aur usake gunoan se sampann haian.
• itihas ke pannoan ko dekhane se yah bhi jnat hota hai ki kumaooan ki anary jatiyoan ne bhi brahman dharm mean pravesh pane ka prayas kiya, kintu asaphal rahian. vasishth aur vishvamitr ke bich varsho tak chala sangharsh isi ashay ka pratik hai. shri okale sahab ne upani prasiddh pustak ‘pavitr himalay’ mean likha hai ki kashmir aur himalay ke gadhaval kshetr mean nag logoan ki ek jati rahati hai. okale ke anusar sarp ki pooja karane ke karan hi unhean ‘nag’ kaha jata hai.
• raee devidash jo ek prasiddh bauddh lekhak the, unaka mat hai ki purane bauddh kal mean chitroan aur moortiyoan mean manushy tatha saanp ke ju de hue svaroop mean nag pooja ko aankit kiya gaya hai. yah pratha aj bhi gadhaval tatha kumaooan mean prachalit hai.
• etakianshan namak vidvanh ka bhi yahi abhimat hai, jinhoanne ‘himalay distriks’ namak granth likha hai, gadhaval ke adhikaanshat: mandiroan mean aj bhi nagapooja hoti chali a rahi hai.
• jageshvar shivamandir jahaan avasthit hai, usake asapas mean aj bhi verinag, dhaulenag, kaliyanag adi sthan vidyaman haian, jinamean ‘nag’ shabd us nag jati ki yad dilata hai. unake adhar par yah bat tark sangat lagati hai ki in nag-mandiroan ke bich ‘nagesh’ namak koee b da mandir prachinakal se kumaooan mean vidyaman hai. pauranik dharm aur bhoot-pretoan ki pooja ki bhi shivopasana mean ganana ki gee hai.
• adi jagadguru shankarachary ke mat aur siddhant ke prachar se pahale kumaooan ke logoan ko ‘pashupateshvar’ ka nam nahian maloom tha. in devoan ki bali pooja hoti thi ya nahian, yah kahana kathin hai, kintu itihas ke prishthoan se itana to nishchit hai ki kathamandoo, nepal ke ‘pashupatinath, aur kumaooan mean ‘yageshvar’ ke ‘pashupateshvar’ donoan vaidik kal se poojaniy devasthan haian. pavitr himalay ki sampoorn chotiyoan ko tapasvi bhagavan shivamoortiyoan ke roop mean svikar kiya jata hai, kintu kailas parvat ko to adi kal se naisargik shiv mandir bataya gaya hai.
• in sab batoan se spasht hai ki kumaooan mandal mean shivapoojan ka prachalan ati prachin hai.

ek prasiddh akhyayika ke anusar ‘yageshvar mandir’ himalay ke uttar pashchim ki or avasthit hai tatha yahaan saghan devadar ka van hai. is mandir ka nirman tibbatiy aur ary shaili ka mila jula svaroop hai. jageshvar-mandir ke avalokan se pata chalata hai ki isaka nirman kam se kam 2500 varshoan poorv ka hai. isake samip mrityuanjay aur dindeshvar-mandir bhi utane hi purane haian. jageshvar-mandir shiv-shakti ki pratimaean aur daravajoan ke dvarapaloan ki moortiyaan bhi ukt prakar ki atyant prachin haian. jageshvar-mandir mean raja dipachand ki chaandi ki moorti bhi sthapit hai.

skand puran ke anusar

[[chitr:Nageshwar-Mahadev-Gujarat-1.jpg|thumb|nageshvar mahadev, dvaraka, gujarat
Nageshwar Mahadev, Dwarka, Gujarat]] skand puran ke manas khand aur reva khand mean gadhaval tatha kumaooan ke pavitr tirtho ka varnan milata hai. chini yatri hrenasaang ne bauddh dharm ki khoj mean kumaooan ki yatra ki thi.

kumaooan aur kosal rajy

kumaooan kosal rajy ka hi ek bhag tha. kumaooan mean vaidik tatha bauddh dharm samanantar roop se prachalit the. mall rajaoan ne bhi pashupateshvar ya jageshvar ke darshan kiye the tatha jageshvar ko kuchh gaanv upahar mean samarpit kiye the. chand rajaoan ki jageshvar ke prati atoot shrriddha thi. inaka rajy kumaooan ki paha diyoan tatha taraeebhaanvar ke bich tha. devichand, kalyanachand, ratanachand, rudrachandr adi rajaoan ne jageshvar-mandir ko gaanv tatha bahut-sa dhan dan mean diye the.

san 1740 mean alimuhammad khaan ne apane roohela sainikoan ke sath kumaooan par akraman kiya tha. usake sainikoan ne bhari tabahi machaee aur almo da tak ke mandiroan ko bhrasht kar unaki moortiyoan ko to d dala. un dushtoan ne jageshvar-mandir par bhi dhava bola tha, kintu eeshvar ichchha se ve asaphal rahe. saghan devadar ke jangal se lakhoan barr nikalakar un sainikoan par toot p de aur ve sabhi bhag kh de hue. unamean se kuchh kumaooan nivasiyoan dvara mar diye gaye, to kuchh sardi se mar gaye.

bauddhoan ke samay mean

bauddhoan ke samay mean bhagavan 'badari vishal' ki pratima ki tarah jageshvar ki dev-pratimaean bhi soory kund mean kuchh dinoan tak p di rahian. apane digvijay-yatra ke dauran adi jagadguru shankarachary ne pun: moortiyoan ko sthapit kiya aur jageshvar-mandir ki pooja ka dayittv dakshin bharatiy kumarasvami ko sauanp diya.

is prakar prachin itihas ka avalokan karane se jnat hota hai ki, jageshvar-mandir atyant prachin kal ka hai aur nag jatiyoan ke dvara is shivaliang ki pooja hone ke karan ise ‘yagesh’ ya ‘nagesh’ kaha jane laga. isi ke karan ise ‘nageshvar jyotirliang’ manane ke paryapt adhar mil jata hai.

shivapuran ki katha

nageshvar jyotirliang ke sambandh mean shri shiv puran ki katha is prakar hai–

‘darooka’ nam ki ek prasiddh rakshasi thi, jo parvati ji se varadan prapt kar ahankar mean choor rahati thi. usaka pati ‘darooka’ mahanh balashali rakshas tha. usane bahut se rakshasoan ko apane sath lekar samaj mean atank phailaya hua tha. vah yajn adi shubh karmoan ko nasht karata hua sant-mahatmaoan ka sanhar karata tha. vah prasiddh dharmanashak rakshas tha. pashchim samudr ke kinare sabhi prakar ki sampadaoan se bharapoor solah yojan vistar par usaka ek van tha, jisamean vah nivas karata tha.

darooka jahaan bhi jati thi, vrikshoan tatha vividh upakaranoan se susajjit vah vanabhoomi apane vilas ke lie sath-sath le jati thi. mahadevi parvati ne us van ki dekhabhal ka dayittv darooka ko hi sauanpa tha, jo unake varadan ke prabhav se usake hi pas rahata tha. usase pi dit am janata ne maharshi aurv ke pas jakar apana kasht sunaya. sharanagatoan ki raksha ka dharm palan karate hue maharshi aurv ne rakshasoan ko shap de diya. unhoanne kaha ki ‘jo rakshas is prithvi par praniyoan ki hiansa aur yajnoan ka vinash karega, usi samay vah apane pranoan se hath dho baithega. maharshi aurv dvara diye gaye shap ki soochana jab devataoan ko maloom huee, tab unhoanne durachari rakshasoan par chadhaee kar di. rakshasoan par bhari sankat a p da. yadi ve yuddh mean devataoan ko marate haian, to shap ke karan svayan mar jaeange aur yadi unhean nahian marate haian, to parajit hokar svayan bhookhoan mar jaeange. us samay darooka ne rakshasoan ko sahara diya aur bhavani ke varadan ka prayog karate hue vah sampoorn van ko lekar samudr mean ja basi. is prakar rakshasoan ne dharati ko chho d diya aur nirbhayatapoorvak samudr mean nivas karate hue vahaan bhi praniyoan ko satane lage.

ek bar us samudr mean manushyoan se bhari bahut-sari naukaean ja rahi thian, jinhean un rakshasoan ne pak d liya. sabhi logoan ko be diyoan se baandhakar unhean karagar mean band kar diya gaya. rakshas un yatriyoan ko bar-bar dhamakane lage. ek ‘supriy’ namak vaishy us yatri dal ka aguva (neta) tha, jo b da hi sadachari tha. vah lalat par bhasm, gale mean rudraksh ki mala dalakar bhagavan shiv ki bhakti karata tha. supriy bina shiv ji ki pooja kiye kabhi bhi bhojan nahian karata tha. usane apane bahut se sathiyoan ko bhi shiv ji ka bhajan-poojan sikhala diya tha. usake sabhi sathi ‘nam: shivay’ ka jap karate the tatha shiv ji ka dhyan bhi karate the. supriy param bhakt tha, isalie use shiv ji ka darshan bhi prapt hota tha.

is vishay ki soochana jab rakshas darooka ko mili, to vah karagar mean akar supriy sahit sabhi ko dhamakane laga aur marane ke lie dau d p da. marane ke lie aye rakshasoan ko dekhakar bhayabhit supriy ne katarasvar se bhagavan shiv ko pukara, unaka chintan kiya aur vah unake nam-mantr ka jap karane laga. usane kaha- deveshvar shiv! hamari raksha karean, hamean in dusht rakshasoan se bachaie. dev! ap hi hamare sarvasv haian, ap hi mere jivan aur pran haian. is prakar supriy vaishy ki prarthana ko sunakar bhagavan shiv ek 'vivar' arthath bil se prakat ho gaye. unake sath hi char daravajoan ka ek sundar mandir prakat hua.

us mandir ke madhyabhag mean (garbhagrih) mean ek divy jyotirliang prakashit ho raha tha tatha shiv parivar ke sabhi sadasy bhi usake sath vidyaman the. vaishy supriy ne shiv parivar sahit us jyotirliang ka darshan aur poojan kiya–

supriy ke poojan se prasann bhagavan shiv ne svayan pashupatastr lekar pramukh rakshasoan ko, unake anucharoan ko tatha unake sare sansadhanoan (astr-shastr) ko nasht kar diya. lila karane ke lie svayan sharir dharan karane vale bhagavan shiv ne apane bhakt supriy adi ki raksha karane ke bad us van ko bhi yah var diya ki ‘aj se is van mean brahman, kshatriy, vaishy tatha shoodr, in charoan varnoan ke dharmoan ka palan kiya jaega. is van mean shiv dharm ke pracharak shreshth rrishi-muni nivas kareange aur yahaan tamasik dusht rakshasoan ke lie koee sthan n hoga.’

rakshasoan par aye isi bhari sankat ko dekhakar rakshasi darooka ne dainyabhav (dinata ke sath) se devi parvati ki stuti, vinati adi ki. usaki prarthana se prasann mata parvati ne poochha– ‘batao, maian tera kaun-sa priy kary karooan?’! darooka ne kaha– ‘maan! ap mere kul (vansh) ki raksha karean.’ parvati ne usake kul ki raksha ka ashvasan dete hue bhagavan shiv se kaha– ‘nath! apaki kahi huee bat is yug ke ant mean saty hogi, tab tak yah tamasik srishti bhi chalati rahe, aisa mera vichar hai.’ mata parvati shiv se agrah karati hueean bolian ki ‘maian bhi apake ashray mean rahane vali hooan, apaki hi hooan, isalie mere dvara diye gaye vachan ko bhi ap saty (pramanit) karean. yah rakshasi darooka rakshasiyoan mean balishth, meri hi shakti tatha devi hai. isalie yah rakshasoan ke rajy ka shasan karegi. ye rakshasoan ki patniyaan apane rakshasaputroan ko paida karegi, jo mil-julakar is van mean nivas kareange-aisa mera vichar hai.’

mata parvati ke ukt prakar ke agrah ko sunakar bhagavan shiv ne unase kaha– ‘priy! tum meri bhi bat suno. maian bhaktoan ka palan tatha unaki suraksha ke lie prasannatapoorvak is van mean nivas karooanga. jo manushy varnashram-dharm ka palan karate hue shraddha-bhaktipoorvak mera darshan karega, vah chakravarti raja banega. kali yug ke ant mean tatha sat yug ke prarambh mean mahasen ka putr virasen rajaoan ka maharaj hoga. vah mera param bhakt tatha b da parakrami hoga. jab vah is van mean akar mera darshan karega. usake bad vah chakravarti samrat ho jaega.’ tatpashchath b di-b di lilaean karane vale shiv-dampatti ne apas mean hasy-vilas ki batean ki aur vahian par sthit ho gaye. is prakar shivabhaktoan ke priy jyotirliang svaroop bhagavan shiv ‘nageshvar’ kahalaye aur shiva (parvati) devi bhi ‘nageshvari’ ke nam se vikhyat hueean. is prakar shiv jyotirliang ke roop mean prakat hue haian, jo tinoan logoan ki kamanaoan ko poorn karane vale haian. jo koee is nageshvar mahadev ke avirbhav ki katha ko shraddha-premapoorvak sunata hai, usake samast patak nasht ho jate haian aur vah apane sampoorn abhisht phaloan ko prapt kar leta hai–
