अद्भुत पौराणिक कथा : शिव और सती का प्रेम

दक्ष प्रजापति की सभी पुत्रियां गुणवती थीं। फिर भी दक्ष के मन में संतोष नहीं था। वे चाहते थे उनके घर में एक ऐसी पुत्री का जन्म हो, जो सर्व शक्ति-संपन्न हो एवं सर्वविजयिनी हो। अत: दक्ष एक ऐसी ही पुत्री के लिए तप करने लगे। तप करते-करते अधिक दिन बीत गए, तो भगवती आद्या ने प्रकट होकर कहा, 'मैं तुम्हारे तप से प्रसन्न हूं। तुम किस कारण तप कर रहे हो? दक्ष ने तप करने का कारण बताया तो मां बोली मैं स्वयं पुत्री रूप में तुम्हारे यहां जन्म धारण करूंगी। मेरा नाम होगा सती।


मैं सती के रूप में जन्म लेकर अपनी लीलाओं का विस्तार करूंगी। फलतः भगवती आद्या ने सती रूप में दक्ष के यहां जन्म लिया। सती दक्ष की सभी पुत्रियों में सबसे अलौकिक थीं। सती ने बाल्यावस्था में ही कई ऐसे अलौकिक आश्चर्य चकित करने वाले कार्य कर दिखाए थे, जिन्हें देखकर स्वयं दक्ष को भी विस्मयता होती रहती थी। जब सती विवाह योग्य हो गई, तो दक्ष को उनके लिए वर की चिंता होने लगी। उन्होंने ब्रह्मा जी से इस विषय में परामर्श किया।

ब्रह्मा जी ने कहा, सती आद्या की अवतार हैं। आद्या आदि शक्ति और शिव आदि पुरुष हैं। अतः सती के विवाह के लिए शिव ही योग्य और उचित वर हैं। दक्ष ने ब्रह्मा जी की बात मानकर सती का विवाह भगवान शिव के साथ कर दिया। सती कैलाश में जाकर भगवान शिव के साथ रहने लगीं। भगवान शिव के दक्ष के दामाद थे, किंतु किसी वजह से दक्ष के ह्रदय में भगवान शिव के प्रति बैर और विरोध भाव पैदा हो गया।

When Lord Krishna ate banana pulp - a moving lesson in bhakti

Lord Krishna


 
Vidhura's wife was so moved to learn that Lord Krishna was at her door that she forgot that she was wearing nothing and rushed to serve the Lord. She has been bathing. The Lord took the cloth covering his upper body and covered Vidhura's wife with it.

She was so taken by the Lord that she peeled the bananas and threw the pulp away. Lord Krishna smiled and merrily ate the peel.

Vidhura returned home to see this strange sight. He was upset with his wife and scolded her. He then offered some bananas to the lord - the pulp this time and the Lord said, "The pulp is not sweet as the peels served by your wife."
 
Such, dear friends, is the sweet Lord.

Jai Yogeshwar Shri Krishna!

Shri Radhe Maa - Mata Shabari & the secret of bhakti

 
Lord Ram and Shabari


When Lord Rama ate the berries that had been tasted by Shabari, Lakshman was incensed at her impudence. How dare she offer the Lord food that had been tasted by another. Lakshman even when he was angry was upset because his love for the Lord was pure. Because it was pure Lord Rama accepted that anger as he would a gift.
And he knew the sentiment behind Shabari's offering of berries that had been tasted by her and accepted that too. 

This tells us that the Lord is served both with a sense of devotion that will not accept anything but the best for the Lord and also by berries that are not pure in the worldly sense. What he accepts is the bhava with which we offer what we do to him. 

May Shri Ragunandana, the Lord and master of Mata Shabari, bless us with a longing for his lotus feet, which destroy all sins
