Mohini Ekaadashi Vrata Katha

. Shri Mohini Ekaadashi Vrata Katha.

Mohinee ekaadashi hindoo dharma mein atyant mahatvapoorna ekaadashi mani jati hai, jo vaishaakha maasa ke shukla paksha ki ekaadashi tithi ko aati hai. Yaha vrata sabhi paapon ka naasha karne vaala aura moksha dilaane vaala maana jaata hai.

Katha praarambha:

Eka baara dharmaraaja yudhishthira ne bhagavaana shreekrishna se poochhaa— "he janaardana! Vaishaakha maasa ke shukla paksha ki ekaadashi ka kya naama hai? Isaki vidhi kya hai aura isake karne se kya phala milata hai? Kripa karake vistaarapoorvaka bataane ki kripa karen."

Bhagavaana shreekrishna ne uttara diya— "he kunteeputra yudhishthira! Yaha eka atyant punyadaayi aura sabhi paapon ka naasha karne vaali ekaadashi hai, jise 'mohini ekaadashi' kaha jaata hai. Is katha ko svayan rishi vashishtha ne bhagavaana raama ko sunaai thi, jaba ve seeta maata ko khone ke baada dukhi hokara vana-vana bhataka rahe the. Aba main tumhen vahi katha sunaata hoon."

Pauraanika katha:

Praacheena kaala mein bhadraavati naamaka eka atyant sundara aura samriddha shahara tha, jo raaja dhritimaana ke shaasanakaala mein phalataa-phoolataa tha. Is shahara mein dhanapaala naamaka eka atyant dhani aura guni vaishya (vyaapaari) rahata tha. Vaha bhagavaana vishnu ka parama bhakta tha aura bahuta hi dharmaparaayana tha. Vaha nirantara daana-punya karta tha aura doosaron ki madada karta tha.

Dhanapaala ke paancha bete the. Chaara bade bete to apane pita ki taraha hi guni aura dharmaparaayana the, lekina sabase chhota beta, jisaka naama dhrishtabuddhi tha, bahuta hi dushta aura adharmi tha. Vaha poori taraha se galata aadaton mein dooba hua tha. Veshyaagamana, sharaaba peena, maansa khaana aura jua khelana usake nitya ke kaama the. Usane apane pita ki mehanata se kamaai gai bahuta saari daulata ina bure kaamon mein barbaada kara dee.

Dhanapaala ne dhrishtabuddhi ko bahuta samajhaaya, lekina usa par koi asara nahin hua. Antatah, niraasha hokara dhanapaala ne dhrishtabuddhi ko apane ghara se nikaala diya. Usake rishtedaaron aura samaaja ne bhi use tyaaga diya.

Akelaa aura daridra, dhrishtabuddhi vana-vana bhatakane laga. Bhookha aura pyaasa se vyaakula, use apane kie par bahuta pashchaataapa hua. Use apni galatiyon ka ehasaasa hua aura vaha dukhi hokara rone laga. Bhatakate-bhatakate vaha rishi kaundinya ke aashrama mein pahuncha. Vaha rishi ke charanon mein gira pada aura apane paapa kaboola kie.

Usane rishi kaundinya se poochhaa— "he rishivara! Mainne bahuta saare paapa kie hain. Kya koi aisa maarga hai jisase mere paapa nashta ho saken aura mujhe uddhaara mila sake?"

Rishi kaundinya ko dhrishtabuddhi par daya aa gai. Unhonne use vaishaakha maasa ke shukla paksha ki 'mohini ekaadashi' ka vrata karne ki salaaha dee. Unhonne bataaya ki yaha vrata sabhi paapon ko nashta kara deta hai aura uddhaara dilaata hai. Unhonne bataaya ki bhagavaana vishnu ne amrita baantane ke lie isi dina mohini roopa dhaarana kiya tha, isalie is ekaadashi ko 'mohini ekaadashi' kaha jaata hai.

Rishi ke bataae anusaara, dhrishtabuddhi ne atyant shraddha aura bhakti ke saatha mohini ekaadashi ka vrata kiya. Usane jaagarana kiya aura bhagavaana vishnu ki pooja ki. Usane niraahaara rahakara bhagavaana ka smarana kiya.

Vrata ka parinaama:
