Apara Ekaadashi Vrata Katha

. Shri Apara Ekaadashi Vrata Katha. 🌸🕉️

Katha praarambha:

Dharmaraaja yudhishthira ne bhagavaana shreekrishna se poochhaa— he janaardana! Jyeshtha maasa ke krishna paksha ki ekaadashi ka kya naama hai aura usaka kya maahaatmya hai? Kripa karake vistaarapoorvaka kahen.

Bhagavaana shreekrishna bole— he raajan! Jyeshtha maasa ke krishna paksha ki ekaadashi ka naama 'apara' hai. Yaha ekaadashi apaara punya dene vaali aura samasta paapon ka naasha karne vaali hai. Isaki katha sunane maatra se manushya ko brahma-hatyaa, paraninda aura jhootha bolane jaise jaghanya paapon se mukti mila jati hai. Aba tuma isaki pauraanika katha dhyaanapoorvaka suno.

Praacheena kaala mein maheedhvaja naamaka eka dharmaatma raaja raajya karta tha. Usaka chhota bhaai vajradhvaja atyant kroora, adharmi aura anyaayi tha. Vaha apane bade bhaai maheedhvaja se bahuta dvesha rakhata tha. Eka dina avasara paakara vajradhvaja ne apane bade bhaai ki hatya kara dee aura usake shava ko eka jangali peepala ke neeche gaada diya.

Akaala mrityu hone ke kaarana maheedhvaja ki aatma preta banakara usi peepala ke peda par rahane lagi. Preta yoni mein hone ke kaarana vaha aatma maarga se gujarane vaale logon ko pareshaana karne lagi. Eka dina 'dhaumya' naamaka rishi udhara se gujara rahe the. Unhonne apni yoga-shakti se usa preta ko dekha aura usake ateeta ko jaan liya.

Muni ko usa par daya aa gai. Unhonne usa preta ko peepala ke peda se neeche utaara aura use paraloka vidya ka upadesha diya. Rishi ne socha ki is raaja ke uddhaara ke lie svayan mujhe hi prayaasa karana hoga. Taba dhaumya rishi ne svayan jyeshtha maasa ke krishna paksha ki 'apara ekaadashi' ka vidhi-vidhaana se vrata kiya aura usa vrata ka poora punya usa preta (maheedhvaja) ko daana kara diya.

Ekaadashee ke punya phala ke prabhaava se raaja maheedhvaja preta yoni ke kashton se mukta ho gaya aura divya deha dhaarana kara liya. Usane haatha jodakara dhaumya rishi ko pranaama kiya aura pushpaka vimaana mein baithakara svarga loka ko chala gaya. Is prakaara apara ekaadashi ke vrata ke prabhaava se eka preta ka bhi kalyaana ho gaya.
