Gauri Vrata Katha

. Shri Gauri Vrata Katha (sampoorna Vrittaanta). 🌺✨🔱

Praacheena kaala ki baata hai, eka nagara mein eka atyant dharmaatma aura dayaaluBraahmanaApni patni ke saatha rahata tha. Braahmana danpati hara taraha se sukhi the, unake paasa dhan-dhaanya ki koi kami nahin thi, parantu eka hi dukha unhen dina-raata sataata thaa— unaki koi santaana nahin thi.

1. Braahmana Danpati ki Ananya Bhakti

Santaana praapti ki ichchha se ve donon bhagavaana shiva aura maata paarvati ki kathora tapasya karne lage. Unaki nisvaartha bhakti dekhakara maata paarvati prasanna hueen aura unhonne bhagavaana shiva se unhen putra-ratna dene ka aagraha kiya. Bhagavaana shiva ne kahaa— "he devi! Inake bhaagya mein santaana ka sukha nahin hai, parantu aapki ichchha sarvopari hai. Main inhen darshana doonga."

Shiva jee ne braahmana ko svapna mein darshana die aura kahaa— "he braahmana! Tumhaare nagara ke baahara jo jangala hai, vahaan eka puraane bilva vriksha ke neeche meri eka pratima dabi hui hai. Tuma vahaan jaakara usaki pooja karo, tumhaari manokaamana poorn hogi."

2. Jangala mein Tapasya Aura Sarpa Dansha

Braahmana agale hi dina jangala gaya aura usa pratima ko khojakara usaki seva karne laga. Kai dinon taka vaha ghara nahin lauta. Eka dina jaba vaha pooja ke lie phoola chuna raha tha, taba use eka vishaileSaanpa ne dasa liyaa. Braahmana vaheen behosha hokara gira pada.

Udhara, ghara par braahmani atyant vyaakula ho gai. Use laga ki usake pati par koi bhari sankata aaya hai. Usane maata gauri (paarvati) ka smarana kiya aura vana ki ora chala padi.

3. Maata Gauri ka Saakshaat Prakata Honaa

Vana mein apane pati ki aisi dasha dekhakara braahmani vilaapa karne lagi. Usane sachche mana se maata gauri ki pukaara ki. Usaki karuna pukaara sunakara maata paarvati svayan vahaan prakata hueen.

Maataa paarvati ne braahmani se kahaa— "he putri! Dukhi mata ho. Tere pati ne meri aura mahaadeva ki ananya seva ki hai. Toone bhi sadaiva dharma ka paalana kiya hai. Main tere pati ko jeevanadaana deti hoon." maata ne braahmana ke shareera se visha nikaala diya aura vaha jeevita hokara utha baitha.

4. Gauri Vrata ka Upadesha

Maataa paarvati ne prasanna hokara unhen eka vishesha vrata ka upadesha diya. Unhonne kahaa— "jo bhi kanya yaa striAashaadha shukla ekaadashi se lekara paancha dinon takaNamaka ka tyaaga kara mera (gauri ka) poojana karegi, use akhanda saubhaagya aura suyogya santaana ki praapti hogi."

Usa braahmana danpati ne vaha vrata poori shraddha se kiya, jisake phalasvarupa unhen eka atyant tejasvi putra ki praapti hui. Tabhi se yaha 'gauri vrata' loka mein prasiddha ho gaya.
