करतोयाघाट शक्तिपीठ
karatoyaghat shaktipith 51 shaktipithoan mean se ek hai. yah hinduoan ki astha ka bhi kendr hai. hindoo dharm ke puranoan ke anusar jahaan-jahaan sati ke aang ke tuk de, dharan kie vastr ya abhooshan gire, vahaan-vahaan shaktipith astitv mean aye. ye atyant pavan tirth kahalaye. ye tirth poore bharatiy upamahadvip par phaile hue haian. devi puran mean 51 shaktipithoan ka varnan hai. karatoyaghat shaktipith bhi unhian mean se ek hai.
bangal ati prachin kal se hi shakti upasana ka vrihatkeandr raha hai. ullekhaniy hai ki baangladesh ke chattal shaktipith ke shiv mandir ko terahavean-jyotirliang ki manyata hai. shakti sangam tantr mean baangladesh kshetr ko sarv siddhi pradayak kaha gaya hai.[1]vahaan ke 4 shakti pithoan- 'karatoyaghat', 'vibhasapith', 'sugandhapith' tatha 'chattal pith' mean karatoya pith ko ati vishisht kaha gaya hai. yah shakti pith baangladesh evan kamaroop ke sangam sthal par karatoya nadi ke tat par 100 yojan vistrit shakti-trikon ke aantargat ata hai tatha ise siddh kshetr bhi kaha gaya hai.[2]
manyata hai ki sadanira karatoya nadi ka udgam shiv-shiva ke panigrahan ke samay mahashiv ke hath mean dale ge jal se hi hua. isilie isaki mahatta shiv nirmaly[3] sadrishy hai tatha ise laanghana bhi nishiddh mana gaya hai.[4] vayu puran mean karatoya nadi ka udgam rrikshaparvat kaha gaya hai tatha isake jal ko mani sadrishy ujjval bataya gaya hai. 'tantrachoo damani' mean ise 'brahmaroopa karodbhava' kaha gaya hai.
yahaan sati ke 'vamatalp' ka nipat hua tha. yahaan devi 'aparna' roop mean tatha shiv 'vaman bhairav' roop mean vas karate haian-
karatoya tate talpan vame vaman bhairavah.
aparna devata tatr brahmaroopa karodbhava॥[5]
yahaan pahale bhairav (shiv) ka tadanantar devi aparna ka darshan kiya jata hai. jo manushy yahaan nadi mean snan ke bad tin rat tak upavas karata hai, use ashvamedh yajn phal ki prapti hoti hai, aisa mahabharat ke vanaparv mean ullekh hai.[6] yah sthan lal manirahat-santahat relave lain par boang da janapad mean boang da steshan se dakshin-pashchim mean 32 kilomitar door bhavanipur gram mean hai. lal rang ke baluha patthar ke bane is mandir mean chittakarshak terakota ka prayog hua hai.
