आखिर कब हुआ था श्रीराम का जन्म?

मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम श्रीराम अवतारी पुरुष जरूर थे लेकिन उन्होंने सामान्य बच्चे की तरह माता के गर्भ से जन्म लिया।

पुराणों में इस बात को लेकर काफी मतभेद है कि श्रीराम का जन्म आखिर कब हुआ था। प्रचलित कथा के अनुसार श्रीराम का जन्म चैत्र मास की शुक्ल पक्ष की नवमी को श्री राम का जन्म हुआ था। इस दिन देश भर में राम नवमी मनाई जाती है जो श्रीराम के जन्म की द्योतक मानी जाती है।

सवाल ये उठता है कि श्रीराम के युग के बाद इतनी सभ्यताएं आई और गई कि यह तय करना असंभव प्रतीत होता है कि श्रीराम किस काल, वर्ष और खंड में जन्में। उनके जन्म की तारीख और स्थान पर भी कई बार बहस होती है लेकिन अब तक भी बात को प्रमाणित नहीं किया जा सका है।

आइए अलग अलग काल के पुराणों और प्रचलित मान्यताओं में लिखित श्रीराम के जन्म की तारीख जानते हैं।

क्या कहती है महर्षि वाल्मीकि की रामायण

महर्षि वाल्मीकि कृत रामायण के बाल काण्ड में श्री राम के जन्म का उल्लेख इस तरह किया गया है। जन्म सर्ग 18वें श्लोक 18-8-10 में महर्षि वाल्मीक जी ने उल्लेख किया है कि श्री राम जी का जन्म चैत्र शुक्ल पक्ष की नवमी तिथि को अभिजीत महूर्त में हुआ। अचंभे की बात ये है कि आधुनिक युग में कंप्यूटर द्वारा गणना करने पर यह 21 फरवरी, 5115 ईस्वी पूर्व निकलता है।

तुलसीदास की रामचरित मानस के अनुसार

मानस के बाल काण्ड के 190 वें दोहे के बाद पहली चौपाई में तुलसीदास ने भी इसी तिथि और ग्रहनक्षत्रों का जिक्र किया है। तुलसीदास जी ने रामचरित मानस में राम के पूरे जीवन की हर अवस्था का जिक्र करते हुए कहा है कि सोलहवें वर्ष में वो विश्वमित्र के साथ तपोवन गए और युद्ध की शिक्षा ली।

आई वेदा ने की वाल्मीकि रामायण की पुष्टि

वाल्मीकि रामायण की पुष्टि दिल्ली में स्थित एक संस्था इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ साइंटिफिक रिसर्च ऑन वेदा यानी आई सर्वे ने भी की है। वेदा ने खगौलीय स्थितियों की गणना के आधार पर ये थ्योरी बनाई है कि वाल्मीकि ने तारों की गणना के आधार पर राम जन्म की स्थिति की जानकारी दी है।

वेदा द्वारा कराए गए इस शोध में मुख्य भूमिका अशोक भटनागर, कुलभूषण मिश्र और सरोज बाला ने निभाई है। सरोज बाला आईवेदा की अध्यक्ष भी हैं। इनके अनुसार 10 जनवरी 5114 को भगवान राम का जन्म हुआ था।

वाल्मीकि लिखते हैं कि चैत्र मास के शुक्लपक्ष की नवमी तिथी को पुनर्वसु नक्षत्र और कर्क लग्न में कौशल्यादेवी ने दिव्य लक्षणों से युक्त सर्वलोकवन्दित श्री राम को जन्म दिया। वाल्मीकि कहते हैं कि जिस समय राम का जन्म हुआ उस समय पांच ग्रह अपनी उच्चतम स्थिति में थे।

क्या दोपहर को हुआ राम का जन्म

यूनीक एग्जीबिशन ऑन कल्चरल कॉन्टिन्यूटी फ्रॉम ऋग्वेद टू रोबॉटिक्स नाम की इस एग्जीबिशन में प्रस्तुत रिपोर्ट के अनुसार भगवान राम का जन्म 10 जनवरी, 5114 ईसापूर्व सुबह बारह बजकर पांच मिनट पर हुआ (12:05 ए.एम.) पर हुआ था।

कंप्यूटर ने खोज निकाली नई तिथि

वाल्मीकि रामायण द्वारा बताए गए ग्रह नक्षत्रों का जब प्लेनेटेरियम सॉफ्टवेयर के अनुसार आकलन किया गया तो राम जन्म की तिथि 4 दिसंबर ईसा पूर्व यानी आज से 9349 साल पहले हुआ।

भगवान राम को वानवास क्यों जाना पड़ा?

रामयण की सबसे बड़ी घटना है भगवन श्री राम का देवी सीता और लक्ष्मण के साथ वनवास गमन। रामायण की कथा के अनुसार कैकेयी की ज‌िद्द की वजह से भगवान राम को वन जाना पड़ा था। लेक‌िन यह मात्र एक दृश्य घटना है। श्रीराम के वन गमन के पीछे कई दूसरे कारण भी थे ज‌िन्हें वही व्यक्त‌ि समझ सकता है ज‌िन्होंने रामायण को पढ़ा और समझा हो।

कैकेयी ने हमेशा राम को अपने पुत्र भरत के समान ही प्रेम क‌िया। कभी भी कैकेयी ने राम के साथ कोई भेद भाव नहीं क‌िया। यही वजह थी क‌ि जब राम के वन जाने की वजह का पता भरत को चला तो वह हैरान हुए थे क‌ि माता कैकेयी ऐसा कैसे कर सकती है। और सच भी यही था क‌ि कैकेय ने यह जान बुझकर नहीं क‌िया था। इनसे यह काम देवताओं ने करवाया था। यह बात राम च‌र‌ित मानस के इस दोहे से स्पष्ट होता है-  ब‌िपत‌ि हमारी ब‌िलोक‌ि बड़‌ि मातु कर‌िअ सोइ आजु। रामु जाह‌िं बन राजु तज‌ि होइ सकल सुरकाजु।।

भगवान राम का जन्म रावण वध करने के उद्देश्य से हुआ था। अगर राम राजा बन जाते तो देवी सीता का हरण और इसके बाद रावण वध का उद्देश्य अधूरा रह जाता। इसल‌िए देवताओं के अनुरोध पर देवी सरस्वती कैकेयी की दासी मंथरा की मत‌ि फेर देती हैं। मंथरा आकर कैकेयी का कान भरना शुरु कर देती है क‌ि राम अगर राजा बन गए तो कौशल्या का प्रभाव बढ़ जाएगा। इसल‌िए भरत को राजा बनवाने के ल‌िए तुम्हें हठ करना चाह‌िए।

मंथरा की जुबान से देवी सरस्वती बोल रही थी। इसल‌िए मंथरा की बातें कैकेयी की मत‌ि को फेरने के ल‌िए काफी था। कैकेयी ने खुद को कोप भवन में बंद कर ल‌िया। राजा दशरथ जब कैकेयी को मनाने पहुंचे तो कैकेयी ने भरत को राजा और राम को चौदह वर्ष का वनवास का वचन मांग ल‌िया। इस तरह भगवान राम को वनवास जाना पड़ा।

इसके अलावा जो कारण है उसका संबंध एक शाप से है। नारद मुन‌ि के मन में एक सुंदर कन्या को देखकर व‌िवाह की इच्छा जगी। नारद मुन‌ि नारायण के पास पहुंचे और हर‌ि जैसी छव‌ि मांगी। हर‌ि का मतलब व‌िष्‍णु भी होता है वानर भी। भगवान ने नारद को वानर मुख दे द‌िया इस कारण से नारद मुन‌ि का व‌िवाह नहीं हो पाया। क्रोध‌ित होकर नारद मुन‌ि ने भगवान व‌िष्‍णु को शाप दे द‌िया क‌ि आपको देवी लक्ष्मी का व‌ियोग सहना पड़ेगा और वानर की सहायता से ही आपका पुनः म‌िलन होगा। इस शाप के कारण राम सीता का व‌ियोग होना था इसल‌िए भी राम को वनवास जाना पड़ा।

पांचवां और सबसे बड़ा कारण स्वयं भगवान श्री राम हैं। तुलसी दास जी ने रामचर‌ित मानस में ल‌‌िखा है 'होइहि सोइ जो राम रचि राखा।' यानी भगवान राम की इच्छा के ब‌िना कुछ भी नहीं होता । भगवान राम स्वयं ही अपनी लीला को पूरा करने के ल‌िए वन जाना चाहते थे क्योंक‌ि वन में उन्हें हनुमान से म‌िलना था। सबरी का उद्धार करना था। धरती पर धर्म और मर्यादा की सीख देनी थी। इसल‌िए जन्म से पहले ही राम यह तय कर चुके थे क‌ि उन्हें वन जाना है और पृथ्वी से पाप का भार कम करना है।

Hail Mahadeva Shiva, the Lord of Rama!

Lord Shiva and Lord Rama

Lord Rama invoked Lord Shiva before he embarked on his journey to rescue Mata Sita and defeat Ravana, the king of asuras.Please with Lord Rama's devotion, Lord Shiva appeared to the Lord Rama and granted him his blessings in his battle against the king of asuras. 

This became possible because despite the truth that Ravana was a learned Brhamin and a great devotee of Shiva, he had deviated from the path of dharma by taking Sita away to Lanka, his kingdom. This tells us that devotion to God is not enough. Dharma demands that we also live an ethical life. Ravana forgot this and had to pay with his life.

After his wish was granted, Lord Rama, being ever compassionate, asked Lord Shiva to remain at the spot forever so that others could also benefit from his blessings. Lord Shiva agreed and turned himself into a linga. The spot is today known to us a Ramaeshwaram, which is one of the 12 powerful Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva.

May Lord Shiva, the natha of Lord Rama, or Rameshwaram, bless us with peace, strength and liberation from the cycle of life and death.

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

Maharaj Janak and his horrible dream - Shri Radhe Maa

Maharaj Janaka

Maharaj Janak was weeping. 

His kingdom snatched, his wife taken away, his enemies in hot pursuit, the king unable to control hunger pangs stretched his hands to pick the dried roti on the dusty road. A dog appeared from nowhere and picked up the roti and ran. 

Suddenly King Janak was awake and found his queen by his side and discovered that all was well. Was I dreaming then? Am I dreaming now? Are both dreams? What is reality? What is dream? 

King Janaka invited wise men from all corners of the earth to explain the difference between dream and reality. He was afraid that he would wake up from this life of a king and discover that this too had been a dream.

"That you were defeated and homless was a dream. That you are a king is the reality," said one. 

"Both states are real while you are experiencing them," said another wise man. 

"That dream was real. That you are a king is an illusion," said a third wise man.

Then spoke Ashtawakra, the one whose body was deformed in eight places. 

"O king neither are real because how can that which is true be subject to change be true?"

"What is truth then?" asked Janaka.

The witness, the sakshi, who was persent in both the states. The Self that watches all. That alone is real O Janaka. Everything except the Self is subject to change and is therefore unreal o king.

Did you know ? - Lord Rama in Cambodia

Reamker, the celebrated Cambodian work of literature, is an epic poem that has the Valmiki Ramayana as its basis. Reamker means the Glory of Rama. 

While nearly all the characters and the storyline of this Cambodian classic mirror that of the Ramayana, there are significant differences too. The Cambodian Ramayana has a strong Buddhist element in it and there is a very popular love story in the Cambodian Ramayana involving Hanuman and a Golden Mermain who goes by the name Sovanna Maccha. 

The story of Lord Ram finds pride of place in several carvings in famous Buddhist temples scattered across Cambodia and Lord Rama is considered to be the storehouse of virtues by the people of this Buddhist land.

Lord Rama prayashit sthali in Pakistan

It is believed that Lord Rama meditated at the Hinglaj Mata Shakti Peeth in present day Balochistan, Pakistan, to atone for his sin of Brahmhatya - the killing of Ravana, a Brahmin and a worshipper of Lord Shiva and Goddess Durga.

Hinglaj Mata Mandir is one of the great Shakti Peethas recognised by our shastras dedicated to Devi Maa. Hinglaaj Mata is revered by people of all faiths in Pakistan and the annual event is described as Nani Ka Haj by the local Muslims.

May Mata Hinglaj, the refuge of Lord Ram, shower us with her mercy.

Thailand is still ruled by Rama

Thailand is ruled by King Bhumibol Adulyadej, whose official name is Rama XI. The name 'Rama' indeed refers to Lord Rama, the king of Ayodhya, the husband of Sita. While the royal family of Thailand is Buddhist, the Ramayana is held in great reverance by all Thai people and Maryadapurshottam Lord Rama is lauded as the ideal King.

The Thai Ramayan is called Ramakien. It is the national epic of Thailand.  

Such is the reverence that the Thai royal family have for the Ramayana that in 1989, Sanskrit scholar Satyavrat Shastri was asked to translate the Ramakien into a Sanskrit poem, which went on to win over 10 national and international awards.

Read more on Thai Ramayan Ramakien on this page tomorrow.
