Rama Ekaadashi Vrata Katha

. Shri Rama Ekaadashi Vrata Katha (sampoorna Vrittaanta). 🪔✨🕉️

Dharmaraaja yudhishthira ne poochhaa— "he janaardana! Aba aapa kripa karake kaartika maasa ke krishna paksha ki ekaadashi ke baare mein bataaen. Is ekaadashi ka kya naama hai aura isake karne se kisa phala ki praapti hoti hai?"

Bhagavaana shri krishna bole— "he yudhishthira! Kaartika krishna ekaadashi ko'rama ekaadashi'Kahate hain. Yaha bade-bade paapon ko nashta karne vaali hai. Isaki katha eka atyant prataapi raaja muchukunda se judi hai. Dhyaanapoorvaka suno."

1. Raaja Muchukunda ka Niyama Aura Chandrabhaaga ka Vivaaha

Praacheena kaala meinMuchukundaNaama ke eka mahaana raaja the. Ve indra aura varuna ke mitra the aura saakshaat vishnu bhakta the. Unake raajya mein yaha niyama tha ki ekaadashi ke dina raajya ka koi bhi manushya, pashu yaa pakshi anna grahana nahin karega. Sabhi ko anivaarya roopa se vrata rakhana padata tha.

Unakee eka kanya thi, jisaka naamaChandrabhaagaaTha. Chandrabhaaga ka vivaaha raaja chandrasena ke putraShobhanaKe saatha hua. Shobhana svabhaava se atyant durbala tha aura bhookha sahana nahin kara sakta tha.

2. Shobhana ka Dharmasankata

Eka baara shobhana apni sasuraala (raaja muchukunda ke yahan) aaya hua tha. Usi samay 'rama ekaadashi' ki tithi aai. Chandrabhaaga atyant chintita ho gai. Usane apane pati se kahaa— "svaami! Mere pita ke raajya mein ekaadashi ke dina bhojana karana to doora, koi jala bhi grahana nahin karta. Yahan taka ki haathi, ghode aura baila bhi usa dina ghaasa nahin khaate. Yadi aapa yahan bhojana karenge, to aapki bahuta badanaami hogi."

Shobhana ne kahaa— "priye! Main bahuta kamajora hoon aura bhookha sahana nahin kara sakta, parantu tumhaare pita ki aajnya ka paalana karne ke lie main yaha vrata avashya karoonga. Jo bhaagya mein hoga, vahi hoga."

3. Shobhana ki Mrityu Aura Divya Phala

Ekaadashee ka dina aaya. Shobhana ne vrata rakha, lekina jaise-jaise dina beetata gaya, bhookha aura pyaasa se usaki haalata bigadane lagi. Soorya asta hua aura raatri jaagarana ka samay aaya, lekina shobhana ke lie vaha raata pahaada jaisi ho gai. Agali subaha (dvaadashi) ka soorya nikalane se pahale hi bhookha aura pyaasa ke kaarana shobhana ke praana nikala gae.

Raajaa muchukunda ne shobhana ka antima sanskaara kiya. Chandrabhaaga atyant dukhi hui, lekina usane apane pita ke ghara rahakara hi ekaadashi ke vrata jaari rakhe aura pati ke naama par daana-punya karne lagi.

4. Mandaraachala Parvata par Divya Nagara

Udhara, ekaadashi ke vrata ke prabhaava se shobhana ko mrityu ke baada mandaraachala parvata ke shikhara par eka atyant bhavya aura divya 'deva-nagara' praapta hua. Vahaan sone ke mahala, heere-javaaharaata aura apsaraaon ka vaibhava tha. Shobhana vahaan ka raaja bana, lekina vaha nagara'asthira'(shaky/temporary) tha, kyonki shobhana ne vaha vrata bina shraddha ke, kevala loka-laaja ke kaarana vivasha hokara kiya tha.

5. Somasharma Braahmana Aura Shobhana ki Bhenta

Eka dina muchukunda ke raajya ka 'somasharma' naamaka braahmana teertha yaatra karate hue mandaraachala parvata par pahuncha. Usane vahaan shobhana ko divya sinhaasana par baithe dekha. Shobhana ne braahmana ko pahachaana liya aura usase apni patni chandrabhaaga ka kushala-kshema poochha.

Shobhana ne braahmana se kahaa— "he vipravara! Ekaadashi ke prabhaava se mujhe yaha vaibhava to mila hai, parantu yaha 'asthira' hai. Kripa karake koi aisa upaaya bataaen jisase yaha nagara sthira aura chirasthaai ho jaaye."

6. Chandrabhaaga ki Punya Shakti Aura Nagara ki Sthirataa

Braahmana ne vaapasa lautakara chandrabhaaga ko poori baata bataai. Chandrabhaaga prasanna hokara bolee— "he braahmana! Aapa mujhe turanta vahaan le chalie. Mainne apane bachapana se lekara aaja taka ki sabhi ekaadashiyon ka vrata poorn shraddha se kiya hai. Main apane punyon ke prabhaava se usa nagara ko sthira kara doongi."

Braahmana chandrabhaaga ko lekara mandaraachala parvata par vaamadeva rishi ke aashrama pahuncha. Rishi ne mantron ke uchchaarana se chandrabhaaga ko divya shakti pradaana ki. Jaba chandrabhaaga apane pati shobhana ke paasa pahunchi, to usane apane jeevanabhara ke ekaadashi vraton ka punya use samarpita kara diya.

Chandrabhaagaa ke punyon ke sparsha maatra se vaha divya nagara sthira ho gaya aura pralaya kaala taka ke lie atala ho gaya. Shobhana aura chandrabhaaga divya roopa dhaarana kara vahaan sukhapoorvaka rahane lage.
