Hinglaj Mata Katha

Bahut prachin samay ki baat hai. Mata Sati ne apne pita Daksh ke yagya me Bhagwan Shiv ka apmaan sahna uchit nahi samjha aur yog agni me apne praan tyag diye. Jab Bhagwan Shiv ko yeh samachar mila, to ve bahut krodhit aur dukhi ho gaye. Ve Mata Sati ke sharir ko kandhe par uthakar poore brahmand me tandav karne lage. Shiv ji ke is roop se poori srishti sankat me pad gayi. Tab Bhagwan Vishnu ne apne Sudarshan Chakra se Mata Sati ke sharir ke tukde kar diye, jisse Bhagwan Shiv shaant ho sake. Jahan-jahan Mata Sati ke ang gire, wahan shaktipith bane. Mana jata hai ki Pakistan ke Baluchistan kshetra me Hingol nadi ke paas Mata Sati ka sir gira tha. Isi pavitra sthal ko aaj Hinglaj Shaktipith ke naam se jana jata hai. Hinglaj Mata ko Adishakti aur Maa Durga ka roop mana jata hai. Yeh mandir bahut prachin aur chamatkari maana jata hai. Purane samay me bhakton ko Mata ke darshan ke liye kathin registani aur pahadi raaston se guzarna padta tha. Sadhu-sant aur bhakt kai dinon tak tapasya aur kathin yatra karke Mata ke darshan karne pahunchte the. Ek katha ke anusaar Bhagwan Parshuram ne bhi apne paapon se mukti paane ke liye Hinglaj Mata ki kathor tapasya ki thi. Mata ki kripa se unhe shanti aur moksh prapt hua. Aisa kaha jata hai ki jo bhi bhakt sacche man se Hinglaj Mata ka smaran karta hai, uski sabhi pareshaniyan aur sankat door ho jate hain. Mata apne bhakton ko shakti, sahas aur safalta pradan karti hain. Hinglaj Mata ka mandir ek prakritik gufa ke roop me sthit hai. Wahan Mata ki murti nahi balki pavitra pindi ki pooja ki jati hai. Bhakt narial, chunari aur prasad chadha kar Mata ka ashirwad prapt karte hain. Navratri ke samay yahan vishesh pooja aur mela lagta hai, jahan door-door se shraddhalu Mata ke darshan ke liye aate hain. Mana jata hai ki Hinglaj Mata apne bhakton ki har sankat se raksha karti hain. Jo bhi bhakt shraddha aur vishwas ke saath Mata ki pooja karta hai, uske jeevan ke dukh door hote hain aur use sukh-samriddhi prapt hoti hai. Hinglaj Mata shakti, bhakti aur sahas ka pratik mani jati hain.
