Jagannath Ji Ki Katha

Jagannath ji ki katha ke anusar Bhagwan Jagannath ko Bhagwan Shri Krishna ka hi divya roop mana jata hai. Unka prasiddh mandir Odisha ke Puri dham me sthit hai jo Hindu dharm ke char dham me se ek mana jata hai. Prachin samay me Raja Indradyumna Bhagwan Vishnu ke bahut bade bhakt the. Ek din unhe Neel Madhav naam ke Bhagwan ke divya roop ke baare me pata chala jo ek gupt van me pooje jate the. Raja ne unki khoj ke liye kai log bheje. Bahut khoj ke baad Vidyapati naam ke Brahmin ko Neel Madhav ke darshan hue. Unhone wapas aakar Raja ko sab bataya. Raja Indradyumna turant us sthan par gaye lekin tab tak Bhagwan Neel Madhav antardhyan ho chuke the. Raja bahut dukhi hue aur unhone kathor tapasya shuru kar di. Bhagwan Vishnu ne swapn me darshan dekar kaha ki samundar tat par jo divya lakdi mile usse unki murti banayi jaye. Kuch samay baad samundar kinare ek divya lakdi mili jise mandir me laya gaya. Tab Bhagwan Vishwakarma ek vriddh shilpkar ke roop me aaye aur bole ki wo murti banayenge lekin jab tak kaam pura na ho koi bhi darwaza nahi kholega. Raja maan gaye. Kai din tak darwaza band raha lekin jab andar se koi awaaz nahi aayi to rani chintit ho gayi aur darwaza khulwa diya. Jaise hi darwaza khula Vishwakarma ji antardhyan ho gaye aur Jagannath ji, Balabhadra ji aur Subhadra ji ki murtian adhuri avastha me dikhi. Tab aakashvani hui ki Bhagwan isi roop me pooje jana chahte hain. Iske baad Puri dham me bhavya mandir bana aur Bhagwan Jagannath waha virajman hue. Har saal Rath Yatra nikali jati hai jisme Jagannath ji, Balabhadra ji aur Subhadra ji bade rathon me nagar bhraman karte hain. Lakho bhakt rath khinchkar Bhagwan ka ashirwad prapt karte hain. Jagannath ji ki katha hume bhakti, shraddha aur Bhagwan ki leela par vishwas rakhne ki seekh deti hai।
