बुद्धि के देव श्री गणेश जी ने किया था 'कावेरी अम्मा' का नामकरण


बुद्धि के देवता श्री गणेश जी से जुड़ी हर कथा, प्रेरक सीख देती है। ऐसी ही कथा है श्री गणेश और कावेरी नदी की।

हम जानते हैं गंगा नदी को भारत की पवित्र नदियों में सर्वप्रथम स्थान प्राप्त है। हमारी वैदिक परंपरा और शास्त्रों में गंगाजल को अमृत की तरह माना गया है।

इसी तरह कावेरी भी भारत की पवित्र नदियों में एक है। यह 'दक्षिण की गंगा' नदी भी कहलाती है। आलम यह है कि दक्षिण भारत में कावेरी नदी को 'कावेरी अम्मा' के नाम से भी पुकारते हैं। कावेरी नदी का 'कावेरी अम्मा' नाम भगवान गणेश ने रखा था।

हिंदू पौराणिक ग्रंथों के अनुसार धरती पर कावेरी नदी की उत्पत्ति गणेश जी के कारण हुई। कहते हैं एक बार ऋषि अगस्त्य ब्रह्माजी के पास दक्षिण भारत में जल की समस्या को लेकर पहुंचे।

ब्रह्माजी ऋषि की बात सुनकर बोले, 'अगस्त्य आपको इस समस्या के निराकरण के लिए भगवान शिव के पास जाना चाहिए।'

ऋषि अगस्त्य को उम्मीद थी कि भगवान शिव उनकी इस समस्या को सुनकर जरूर मदद करेंगे। ब्रह्माजी ने ऋषि अगस्त्य को जाते समय एक कमंडल (तांबे, पीतल, कांसे का पात्र) दिया, और कहा यह कमंडल आप भगवान शिव को दे देना। देवाधिदेव कैलाश पर्वत पर रहते हैं।

अगस्त्य भगवान शिव की आराधना करते हुए उनके धाम की ओर चल निकले। वह कैलाश पर पहुंचे तो देवाधिदेव ने उनसे पूछा, 'हे ऋषिवर आप क्या चाहते हैं। तब ऋषि अगस्त्य ने अपनी समस्या को सुनाया। तब भगवान शिव ने ऋषि को अपनी जटा में से गंगा जल की कुछ बूंद दीं। और वह कमंडल भी ऋषि को दिया जिसमें उन्होंने गंगाजल की बूंद रख लीं।'

ऋषि हैरान थे कि इतना कम जल कैसे लोगों की प्यास और सूखे से बचा पाएगा। तब शिव ने कहा, 'यदि आप मुझ पर विश्वास रखते हैं तो यह संभव है कि आपकी इस समस्या का निराकरण जल्द हो जाएगा। उन्होंने ऋषि से कहा गंगा जल की इन तीन बूंद को आप सूखी भूमि में विसर्जित कर देना। आपकी समस्याएं दूर हो जाएंगी।'

तब ऋषि अगस्त्य ने दक्षिण भारत की यात्रा पर लौट गए। ऋषि असमंजस में थे। वह तय नहीं कर पा रहे थे कि गंगाजल की कमंडल में रखी बूंदें कहां विसर्जित करें। तभी उन्हें वहां एक युवा बालक मिला।

ऋषि अगस्त्य लंबी यात्रा से बहुत थक चुके थे। इसलिए उस कमंडल में रखीं गंगाजल की बूंदों की सुरक्षा के लिए उन्होने उस राहगीर बालक से प्रार्थना की। दरअसल वह राहगीर बालक और कोई नहीं भगवान गणेश थे।

उन्होंने कहा, 'में आपकी मदद के लिए ही आया हूं। वैसे यह बिल्कुल सही जगह है। जहां आप अपने कमंडल से जल प्रवाहित कर सकते हैं। तभी गणेश जी ने अपनी माया से एक पक्षी बनाया। पक्षी आया और उसने जमीन पर ही रखे कमंडल को गिरा दिया। ऐसे में जल बहुत तेजी से प्रवाहित होने लगा। और धीरे-धीरे विशाल नदी का रूप धारण कर लिया।

तब राहगीर बालक अपने मूल रूप यानी गणेश जी के रूप में अवतरित हुए और उन्होंने ऋषि अगस्त्य से कहा कि आज से इस नदी का नाम कावेरी नदी होगा। यह दक्षिण की गंगा भी कहलाएगी।

African Hindus celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi with devotion

 

Several Ghanian Africans embraced the Hindu religion under the guidance of Swami Ghananada Saraswati of Ghana in the 1980s. Swami ji, an African himself, did not find answers given by Christian preachers who were engaged in spreading Christianity among his people.

His search brought him to Rishikesh where he studied the Hindu shastras and decided to become a Sanyasi in the lineage of Swami Shivananda of the Divine Life SOciety. 

Several Ghanian Hindus are second generation Hindus and were born into the faith! 

Let us join our Hindu brothers in Africa in wishing Lord Ganesha a warm farewell! Lord, come early next year! Ganpati  Bappa Morya!

Veer Hammir Dev Chauhan, Sultan Allauddin Khilji and Lord Ganesha's leela

Ganpati


In the year 1299, Maharana Hammir Dev Chauhan, the Agnivanshi Rajput king had to confine himself to the Ranthambore fort when he faught a battle with Sultan Alauddin Khilji. The Maharana was a devotee of Lord Ganesha who prayed for his assistance. As a sign the Lord manifested in his aggressive Trinetra form on a wall of Ranthambore and Hammir's army defeated that of Allauddin Khilji.

The temple and the diety exist and bear testimony to Maharana Hammir's bravery and his devotion to Lord Ganesha. Every Ganesh Chaturthi - today - devotees gather at the temple to honor the lord and sing bhajans, chant mantras and offer food and flowers to the Lord who is present at the site in his three-eyed form.

May Tri-netra Ganesh, dear to Maharana Hammir Dev Chauhan, shower his grace on all his devotees on this special occasion.

Mahima of Ganesha Chaturthi


All Hindu Devatas represent facilitating cosmic forces that are present on other planes and available to assist seekers in their spiritual journeys. Their manifestations become stronger at places where their idols are installed and regular worship is offered. The murtis, yantras and mantras of the Devata take nourishment from the food, incense, oil and bhava offered to them and reflect them to the devotees when aarti is performed. 

Ganesh Chaturthi is the day on which Lord Ganesha manifests at his strongest on this plane. He makes himself available to those who face obstacles in fulfilling the four purushartas - Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha - and removes them. 

So, make it a point to offer worship to the Lord, offer him food, deepa and pure bhava on this auspicious day and the apple of Maa Gauri's eye will surely bless you. 

Om Gam Ganapataye Namah! Ganpati  Bappa Morya!

Marathi Gondhal for Maa Amba in Mauritius





The bulk of Indian immigration to Mauritius started in 1834, when slavery was abolished by the British colonial government to compensate the shortage of labour resulting from the refusal of the African slaves to work in the fields.Marathas from various districts were also recruited and most of these families after they were freed from their compulsary work term purchased land in Mauritius and settled there.

Mauritian Marathas have held the memories of Maharashtra, of Shivaji Maharaj and of Hindu gods and goddesses close to their heart. There are several temples run by the Marathas of Mauritius. They continue to hold Gondhals to honour Mata Amba to this day. 

Gudi Padwa, Maharashtra Day, Shivaji Jayanti and the Ganesh Chaturthi are national public holidays in Mauritius.
