Kamakhya Devi Ki Katha

Maa Kamakhya Devi Bharat ke 51 Shaktipeethon me se ek pramukh Shaktipeeth hain. Unka prasiddh mandir Assam ke Guwahati shahar me Nilachal Parvat par sthit hai. Maa Kamakhya ko Shakti, Srijan, Matritva aur Stree Shakti ka prateek mana jata hai. Pauranik katha ke anusaar, Mata Sati Bhagwan Shiv ki patni thi. Ek baar unke pita Prajapati Daksha ne ek vishal yagya ka ayojan kiya, lekin Bhagwan Shiv aur Mata Sati ko nimantran nahi diya. Jab Mata Sati yagya sthal par pahunchi, to unhone dekha ki Bhagwan Shiv ka apmaan kiya ja raha hai. Apne pati ka apmaan sah na paane ke karan Mata Sati ne yagya agni me apne praan tyag diye. Yeh samachar sun kar Bhagwan Shiv atyant dukhi aur krodhit ho gaye. Unhone Mata Sati ke sharir ko uthakar poore brahmand me tandav karna shuru kar diya. Tab Bhagwan Vishnu ne Sudarshan Chakra se Mata Sati ke sharir ke anek tukde kar diye. Jahan-jahan Mata Sati ke ang gire, wahan Shaktipeethon ki sthapna hui. Mana jata hai ki Assam ke Nilachal Parvat par Mata Sati ka yoni bhaag gira tha. Isi pavitra sthal par Maa Kamakhya Shaktipeeth sthapit hua. Isliye yah mandir Shakti, Srijan aur Matritva ka sarvottam prateek mana jata hai. "Kamakhya" ka arth hai vah Devi jo bhakton ki manokamna poori karti hain. Sacha bhav aur shraddha se Maa ki pooja karne wale bhakton ki ichchhaen poori hoti hain. Is mandir ki vishesh baat yeh hai ki yahan Maa ki koi murti nahi hai. Garbhgriha me sthit prakritik shila aur nirantar behne wali pavitra jal dhara ki pooja Maa Kamakhya ke roop me ki jati hai. Har varsh Ashadh maas me prasiddh Ambubachi Mela ka ayojan hota hai. Is dauran lakhon shraddhalu aur sadhak Maa ke darshan ke liye aate hain. Maa Kamakhya apne bhakton ko sukh, samriddhi, santan sukh, shakti aur adhyatmik unnati pradan karti hain. Maa ki kripa se jeevan ke kasht door hote hain aur manokamnaen poori hoti hain.
