हिरण्यकशिपु

hiranyakashipu daityoan ka mahabalashali raja tha. usane kathor tapasya ke bal par brahma se yah var prapt kiya tha ki- "koee bhi manushy, stri, devata, pashu-pakshi, jalachar ityadi, n hi din mean aur n hi ratri mean, n ghar ke bahar aur n ghar ke bhitar, kisi bhi prakar ke astr-shastr se use mar nahian payega." yah varadan prapt kar hiranyakashipu apani amarata ke unmad mean sab par anekoan prakar se atyachar karane laga. is prakar vah paanch karo d, ikasath lakh, sath hazar varsh tak sabako trast karata raha. sabhi devata bhagavan vishnu ki sharan mean gaye. tab bhagavan vishnu ne adha sharir manushy ke jaisa tatha adha sianh ke saman banakar 'narasianh vigrah' dharan kiya tatha hiranyakashipu se yuddh praranbh kiya. kee hazar daityoan ko marakar bhagavan vishnu ne hiranyakashipu ko sayan kal ke samay (jab n din tha, n hi ratri) rajamahal ki dehali par (jo n hi bhavan ke bhitar thi, n hi bahar) apane nakhoonoan se (jo ki astr-shastr bhi nahian the) jangha par rakhakar mar dala.

parichay

kashyap rrishi ki anek patniyoan mean se ek thi diti. diti ke do putr the- 'hiranyakashipu' aur 'hiranyaksh'. jab prithvi ka uddhar karane ke lie bhagavan vishnu ne varah avatar grahan kiya, tab hiranyakashipu ke bhaee hiranyaksh ka vadh unake dvara hua. bhaee ki mrityu se hiranyakashipu kupit hokar bhagavan ka vidveshi ho gaya. vah vishnu ko priy lagane vali sabhi shaktiyoan devata, rrishi, pitar, brahman, gau, ved tatha dharm se bhi dvesh karata aur unhean utpidit karata.

brahma se varadan prapti

asuraraj hiranyakashipu ne trilokoan ko apane vash mean karane v kabhi bhi mrityu ka gras n banane ke lie brahma ki tapasya ki. hiranyakashipu ki ghor tapasya se prasann hokar brahmaji prakat hue. brahma ne usase poochha ki vah kya var chahata hai. hiranyakashipu ne kaha ki- "meri mrityu n akash mean ho n bhoomi par, n kamare ke bhitar ho n hi kamare ke bahar ho, meri mrityu n din mean ho n rat mean, meri mrityu n stri ke hathoan ho n purush ke, mrityu n devoan ke hath ho, n asuroan ke; n manushy ke dvara ho n pashuoan ke; shastroan se bhi meri mrityu n ho." brahmaji tathastu kahakar use var pradan karake aantardhan ho ge.

patni ka haran

hiranyakashipu jab brahma ko prasann karane ke lie tap kar raha tha, us aantaral mean ek ghatana ghatit huee. hiranyakashipu ko tapasya lin janakar usake abhav mean devoan ne asuroan par akraman kiya aur unhean parast kar diya. devaraj indr hiranyakashipu ki garbhini patni 'kayadh' ko bandhi banakar le ge. bich raste hi unaki mulakat devrrishi narad se huee, jinake upadeshanusar indr hiranyakashipu ki patni kayadh ko maharshi ke ashram mean chhod kar svayan devalok chale gaye. garbhavati kayadh ko narad ne bhagavat tattv se avagat karaya. mata ke garbh mean shishu ne bhi in sabhi upadeshoan ka shravan kiya.

svayan ki pooja ka adesh

tapasya poorn hone par hiranyakashipu jab lautakar aya to usane devoan ko parajit kiya. vah narad ke ashram mean vas karati apani patni ko punah rajamahal le aya. var ke bal se ahankar mean aandhe hiranyakashipu ne trilokoan par akraman kar diya aur usane un par vijay bhi pa li. usane devoan ko apana das banaya. hiranyakashipu rrishi-muniyoan v bhagavad bhaktoan ko tang karane laga, yag yajnoan ko nasht-bhrasht karane laga. usane adesh diya ki usake rajy mean kisi bhi devata ki pooja nahian hogi. usane kaha ki hiranyay namah ke atirikt any kisi bhi mantr ka uchcharan nahian kiya jayega. poore rajy mean svayan usi ki pooja ki jae, any kisi ki nahian.

yathasamay unaki patni ne ek putr ko janm diya. bachche ka nam prahlad rakha gaya. chooanki use narad maharshi ke upadeshoan ka smaran tha prahlad vishnu bhakt ban gaya. upanayan ke bad pita ne prahlad ko gurukul bheja. kuchh samay bad pita ko yah janane ki utsukata huee ki unake bete ne gurukul mean kya sikha hai. unhoanne prahlad ko rajamahal bulavaya. prahlad se pita ne poochha, “tum ne gurukul mean kya sikha?” prahlad ne uttar diya, “shravanamh, kirtanamh, smaranamh, padasevanamh, archanamh, vandanamh, dasyamh, sakhyamh, atmanivedanamh – in navavidh bhaktimargoan se bhagavan ki upasana ki ja sakati hai.” apane putr ke hi mukh se apane param shatru vishnu ki pooja ki jani chahie, aradhana ki jani chahie, sunakar hiranyakashipu atikruddh ho gaye. krodh ke aveg mean unhoanne sipaeeyoan ko ajna di ki ve prahlad ko mar dalean. bahuvidh prayasoan ke bad bhi sipaee prahlad ko mar n sake. nirash hue hiranyakashipu ne apane putr ke man se eeshvar bhakti ko mita dene ke vichar se use punah gurukul bheja. parantu vahaan prahlad ke upadeshean se prabhavit ho kar any asur balak bhi bhagavadh bhakt banane lage. atyant kupit hokar hiranyakashipu bole, “maian trilokoan ka nath hooan. mere siva koee any eeshvar hai to vah kahaan hai?” “eeshvar sarvavyapi haian. ve sarvatr virajaman haian,” prahlad ne uttar diya. “to kya ve is stanbh mean bhi haian?” hiranyakashipu garaj uthe. “haan, is stanbh mean bhi bhagavan ka vas hai,” prahlad bola. putr ke uttar ko sun hiranyakashipu ne mutti banakar jor se stanbh par prahar kiya. stanbh mean darar pad gayi. usake bhitar se ardh sih, ardh manav roop mean narasihamoorti ka ugraroop prakat hua. sandhya samay tha. bhagavan ne rajadarabar ki dehali par baithakar hiranyakashipu ko apane god mean utha liya, aur nakhoonoan se usake sine ko chir kar usaka vadh kiya. nishkalank bhakt prahlad ke mukh se nikale vachan saty siddh hue. ise vigraharadhana ka aranbh kaha ja sakata hai. ek sadharan shilastanbh mean eeshvar ki upasthiti par vishvas! jab vah vishvas dridh hua to vah anubhav mean parinat hua. hamean is katha ke sar ko grahan karana chahie. sarvashaktiman eeshvar koee bhi roop dharan kar sakate haian. ve sagun ya nirgun bhav apana sakate haian. khare pani se namak nikala ja sakata hai aur namak punah pani mean lin ho sakata hai.
