Hari Shayana Vrata Katha

. Shri Hari Shayani (devashayani) Ekaadashi Vrata Katha. 🌊😴

Katha praarambha:

Dharmaraaja yudhishthira ne bhagavaana shreekrishna se poochhaa— "he keshava! Aashaadha maasa ke shukla paksha ki ekaadashi ka kya naama hai? Isaki vidhi kya hai aura isamen kisa devata ka poojana hota hai? Kripaya vistaarapoorvaka kahen."

Bhagavaana shreekrishna bole— "he yudhishthira! Is ekaadashi ka naama 'shayani' yaa 'devashayani' hai. Yaha atyant punyamayi aura samasta paapon ka naasha karne vaali hai. Jo manushya is vrata ko karta hai, use moksha ki praapti hoti hai. Aba main tumhen vaha pauraanika katha sunaata hoon jise svayan brahma jee ne devarshi naarada ko sunaaya tha."

Praacheena kaala mein 'maandhaata' naamaka eka atyant chakravarti, satyavaadi aura prataapi raaja raajya karta tha. Usake raajya mein praja bahuta sukhi thi aura kabhi akaala nahin padata tha. Parantu eka samay raaja ke raajya mein lagaataara teena varshon taka varsha nahin hui, jisase bhayankara akaala pada gaya. Chaaron ora traahi-traahi macha gai. Anna ke abhaava mein yajnya-havana aadi dhaarmika kaarya bhi ruka gae.

Prajaa ki vyaakulata dekhakara raaja maandhaata bahuta dukhi hue. Ve sochane lage ki unase aisa kauna saa aparaadha hua hai jisaka danda unaki praja ko mila raha hai. Raaja apni sena ke saatha vana ki ora chala die taaki kisi rishi se iska upaaya poochha saken. Vana mein bhatakate hue ve brahma jee ke putra 'angira' rishi ke aashrama pahunche.

Raajaa ne rishi ko pranaama kiya aura haatha jodakara raajya ki vipatti sunaai. Angira rishi ne kahaa— "he raajan! Yaha satyayuga hai aura isamen dharma apane chaaron charanon par sthita hai. Is yuga mein kevala braahmanon ko hi tapa karne ka adhikaara hai, parantu tumhaare raajya mein eka shoodra tapasya kara raha hai. Usi ke dosha se raajya mein varsha nahin ho rahi hai. Yadi tuma usaka vadha kara doge, to yaha samasya doora ho jaaegi."

Raajaa maandhaata atyant dayaalu the. Unhonne kahaa— "he rishivara! Main usa niraparaadha tapasvi ka vadha nahin kara sakta. Kripa karake mujhe koi anya dhaarmika upaaya bataaen."

Taba angira rishi ne kahaa— "he raajan! Yadi tuma aisa chaahate ho, to tuma aashaadha maasa ke shukla paksha ki 'shayani' naamaka ekaadashi ka vidhi-vidhaana se vrata karo. Is vrata ke prabhaava se tumhaare raajya mein avashya hi varsha hogi."

Raajaa vaapasa apane nagara laute aura unhonne apni praja va parivaara ke saatha shraddhaapoorvaka 'hari shayani ekaadashi' ka vrata kiya. Vrata ke prabhaava se aakaasha mein kaale baadala chha gae aura moosalaadhaara varsha hui. Raajya mein anna-dhan ki prachurata ho gai aura praja phir se sukhi ho gai.
