magahar aur kabir
jab ham rashtriy rajamarg par basti se gorakhapur ki taraph chalate hai to rashtriy rajamarg se dahine jati huee sadaq par utar kar do-dhaee kilomitar aandar sthit hai kabir ka nirvan sthal . magahar ka poora ilaka mehanatakash tabakoan se abad hai aur poori jidangi pakhand aur palayan par adharit dharm ke viparit karm aur antardrishti par adharit dharm par jor dene vale kabir ke sharir chhodane ke lie shayad isase behatar ilaka nahian ho sakata tha . vaise bhi kabir ka marana koee sadharan roop se marana to tha nahian-
ja marane so jag dare, mere man anand, kab marihoan kab bhetihoan, pooran paramanand
kabir ke samay mean kashi vidya aur dharm sadhana ka sabase b da kendr to tha hi, vastr vyavasayiyoan, vastr karmiyoan, julahoan ka bhi sabase b da karm kshetr tha . desh ke charoan or se log vahaan ate rahate the aur unake anurodh par kabir ko bhi door-door tak jana p data tha .
magahar bhi aisi hi jagah thi . par usake lie ek aandh manyata thi ki yah jamin abhishapt hai. kuchh a danbari tatha pakhan di logoan ne prachar kar rakha tha ki vahaan marane se moksh nahian milata hai . ise nark dvar ke nam se jana jata tha, tatha jisake bare mean lokamanyata thi ki vahaan marane vala gadaha hota hai .
sare bharat mean muktidayini ke roop mean mani jane vali kashi ko vahian apane jivan ka adhikaansh bhag bita chuke kabir ne marane se karib tin varsh poorv chhod diya aur aisa karate hue kaha bhi-
loka mati ke bhora re, jo kashi tan tajai kabira, tau ramahi kaun nihora re
unhian dinoan magahar mean bhishan akal p da . oosar kshetr, akalagrast sookhi dharati, pani ka namonishan nahian . sari janata trahi-trahi kar uthi . tab khalilabad ke navab bijali khaan ne kabir ko magahar chal kar dukhiyoan ke kasht nivaran hetu upay karane ko kaha . vriddh tatha kamajor hone ke bavajood kabir vahaan jane ke lie taiyar ho gaye . shishyoan aur bhaktoan ke jor dekar mana karane par bhi vah na mane . mitr vyas ke yah kahane par ki magahar mean moksh nahian milata hai, lekin sthan ya tirth vishesh ke mahatv ki apeksha karm aur acharan par bal dene vale kabir ne kashi se magahar prasthan ko apani poori jiandagi ki sikh ke ek pratik ke roop mean rakha aur spasht kiya -
kya kashi, kya oosar magahar, jo pai ram bas mora . jo kabir kashi mare, ramahian kaun nihora
sabaki prarthanaoan ko darakinar kar unhoanne vahaan ja kar logoan ki sahayata karane aur magahar ke sir par lage kalank ko mitane ka nishchay kar liya . unaka to janm hi hua tha roodhiyoan aur aandh vishvasoan ko to dane ke lie .
magahar pahuanch kar unhoanne ek jagah dhooni ramaee . janashruti hai ki vahaan se chamatkari dhang se ek jalasrot nikal aya, jisane dhire-dhire ek talab ka roop le liya . aj bhi ise gorakh talaiya ke nam se jana jata hai . talab se hat kar unhoanne ashram ki sthapana ki . yahian par jab unhoanne apana sharir chho dane ka samay nikat ane par sant kabir ne apane shishyoan ko isaki poorvasoochana di . shishyoan mean hindoo aur musalaman donoan the . sari jiandagi sampradayik sankirnata aur us sankirnata ke pratik chinhoan se oopar uthakar sahi marg par chalane ka upadesh apane shishyoan ko dene vale kabir ke sharir chhodate hi unake shishy usi sankirnata ke vashibhoot hokar guru ke sharir ke antim sanskar ko lekar amane-samane khade ho ge . hindoo kashi (rivaan) naresh birasianh ke netritv mean shastr sahit kooch kar ge aur udhar musalaman navab bijali khaan pathan ki sena mean golaband ho ge . vivad mean hindoo chahate the ki kabir ka shav jalaya jae aur musalaman use daphanane ke lie katibadhd the . par sare vivad ke ashcharyajanak samadhan mean shav ke sthan par unhean kuchh phool mile . adhe phool baantakar us hisse se hinduoan ne adhe jamin par guru ki samadhi bana di aur musalamanoan ne apane hisse ke baki adhe phooloan se makabara tatha ashram ko samadhi sthal bana diya gaya .
