Brihaspati Dev Katha

Prachin samay ki baat hai. Ek nagar mein ek bahut hi dhanvaan sahukar apni patni aur parivar ke saath rehta tha. Uske paas dhan, sampatti, sona-chandi, ann aur sabhi prakar ke sukh-sadhan the. Ghar mein kisi bhi vastu ki kami nahin thi. Lekin sahukar ki patni atyant ghamandi aur kanjoos swabhav ki thi. Use daan-punya, pooja-paath aur dharm-karm mein koi ruchi nahin thi. Yadi koi sadhu, sant, Brahman ya gareeb vyakti uske dwar par aata, to vah use khaali haath lauta deti thi.
Sahukar swayam dharmik pravritti ka tha aur Bhagwan ki bhakti karta tha, lekin uski patni hamesha use daan dene aur dharm-karm karne se rokati thi. Samay beetta gaya. Ek din devtaon ke guru, Devguru Brihaspati ne us stri ko sahi marg dikhane ka nishchay kiya. Ve ek vriddh sadhu ka vesh dharan karke uske ghar pahunche.
Sadhu ne darwaze par khade hokar bhiksha maangi. Sahukar ki patni us samay ghar ke kaamon mein lagi hui thi. Usne sadhu ko dekhkar kaha, "Mere paas tumhen dene ke liye kuch nahin hai. Tum kahin aur chale jao."
Sadhu ne muskurate hue kaha, "Mata, tumhare ghar mein itni samriddhi hai, phir bhi tum kahti ho ki tumhare paas kuch nahin hai. Yadi tum sachmuch apne ghar ki sampatti samapt karna chahti ho, to main tumhen ek upay batata hoon."
Stri ne utsukta se poochha, "Kaun-sa upay?"
Sadhu ne kaha, "Har Guruvaar ko sir dhona, ghar mein jhadu-poncha aur lipai karna, nakhun kaatna, kapde dhona, peeli vastuon ka apmaan karna aur kisi bhi zaruratmand ko daan na dena. Aisa karne se tumhare ghar ka saara dhan samapt ho jayega."
Stri ne sadhu ki baat ko satya maan liya aur waisa hi karne lagi. Vah pratyek Guruvaar ko un sabhi kaamon ko karti jo sadhu ne bataye the. Dheere-dheere uske ghar ki samriddhi kam hone lagi. Vyapar mein haani hone lagi, dhan samapt hone laga, ghar ke abhushan bik gaye aur ann ke bhandar bhi khaali hone lage.
Kuch hi varshon mein vah parivar atyant gareeb ho gaya. Jis ghar mein kabhi vaibhav aur khushhaali thi, vahan ab abhav aur dukh ka nivaas ho gaya. Sahukar bhi chintit rehne laga. Parivar ke saamne bhojan tak ka sankat khada ho gaya.
Ek din sahukar ki patni bahut dukhi hokar baithi thi. Usi samay vahi vriddh sadhu punah uske ghar aaye. Is baar stri ne unka aadar kiya aur unke charanon mein girkar boli, "Maharaj, kripa karke batayiye ki mere ghar ki yah durdasha kyon hui? Pehle hamare paas sab kuch tha, lekin ab kuch bhi nahin bacha."
Sadhu ne kaha, "Kya tumhen yaad hai ki maine tumhen kya bataya tha?"
Stri ne uttar diya, "Haan Maharaj, main aapki batayi baaton ka palan karti rahi hoon."
Tab sadhu ne kaha, "Yahi tumhare patan ka kaaran hai. Guruvaar ka din Devguru Brihaspati aur Bhagwan Vishnu ki pooja ka din mana jata hai. Is din shraddha, bhakti, daan aur sadachar ka palan karna chahiye. Tumne iske vipreet karya kiye, isliye tumhare ghar ki samriddhi nasht ho gayi."
Yah sunkar stri ko apni galti ka ehsaas hua. Usne rote hue kshama maangi aur kaha, "Maharaj, ab mujhe kya karna chahiye?"
Tab sadhu roopi Brihaspati Dev ne kaha, "Yadi tum punah sukh aur samriddhi prapt karna chahti ho, to pratyek Guruvaar vrat rakho. Pratah snan karke Bhagwan Vishnu aur Brihaspati Dev ki pooja karo. Peeli vastra dharan karo, peele phool arpit karo, chane ki daal, haldi aur gud ka daan karo. Brahmanon, sadhon aur gareebon ko bhojan karao tatha sadaiv satya aur dharm ke marg par chalo."
Yah kahkar sadhu antardhyan ho gaye. Stri samajh gayi ki ve koi saadharan vyakti nahin, balki swayam Devguru Brihaspati the.
Agle Guruvaar se usne poore shraddha-bhav se vrat rakhna prarambh kar diya. Vah Bhagwan Vishnu aur Brihaspati Dev ki pooja karne lagi. Peeli vastuon ka daan karne lagi aur gareebon ki sahayata karne lagi. Uska hriday bhi badal gaya. Ab vah dayalu aur dharmparayan ban gayi.
Kuch samay baad Brihaspati Dev uski bhakti se prasann hue. Unke aashirvad se sahukar ka vyapar phir se chal pada. Ghar mein dhan-dhaanya ki vriddhi hone lagi. Sukh, shanti aur samriddhi wapas laut aayi. Parivar ke sabhi kasht door ho gaye aur unka jeevan punah anandmay ho gaya.
Is prakar Devguru Brihaspati ki kripa se sahukar aur uski patni ka jeevan badal gaya. Tabhi se yah manyata prachalit hui ki jo vyakti shraddha aur vishwas ke saath Guruvaar ka vrat karta hai, Brihaspati Dev ki katha sunta hai, Bhagwan Vishnu ki pooja karta hai aur daan-punya karta hai, uske jeevan se daridrata, badhayein aur dukh door ho jate hain. Use gyan, yash, sammaan, dhan, sukh aur samriddhi ki prapti hoti hai.
