00:0000:00
Maa Kamakhya Devi Bharat ke 51 Shaktipithon mein se ek pramukh Shaktipith hain. Unka prasiddh mandir Assam ke Nilachal Parvat par, Guwahati nagar mein sthit hai. Maa Kamakhya ko shakti, srijan, maatritva aur stri-shakti ka prateek mana jata hai. Unki katha Devi Sati aur Bhagwan Shiv se judi hui hai.
Prachin kaal mein Prajapati Daksh ki putri Sati Bhagwan Shiv ki ardhangini thin. Yadyapi Sati ne apni ichchha se Shivji ko pati roop mein sweekar kiya tha, lekin unke pita Daksh Bhagwan Shiv ko pasand nahin karte the. Ek baar Prajapati Daksh ne ek vishal yagya ka aayojan kiya. Unhone sabhi devtaon, rishiyon aur rajaon ko aamantrit kiya, lekin jaanboojhkar Bhagwan Shiv aur Mata Sati ko nimantran nahin bheja.
Jab Mata Sati ko yagya ke baare mein pata chala, to unhone Bhagwan Shiv se vahan jaane ki ichchha vyakt ki. Shivji ne bina nimantran jaane se mana kiya, lekin Sati apne pita ke ghar jaane ke liye aagrah karti rahin. Antatah ve akeli hi yagya sthal par pahunch gain.
Yagya mein pahunchkar Sati ne dekha ki unke pati Bhagwan Shiv ka koi samman nahin kiya gaya hai. Prajapati Daksh ne Shivji ke baare mein apmaanjanak baatein kahin. Apne pati ka apmaan sahan na kar paane ke kaaran Mata Sati atyant dukhi aur krodhit ho gain. Unhone kaha ki jis sharir ko maine Daksh ki putri ke roop mein paaya hai, vah ab mere liye vyarth hai. Iske baad unhone yagya agni mein koodkar apne praan tyag diye.
Jab Bhagwan Shiv ko yah samachar mila, to ve atyant krodhit ho uthe. Unhone apni jataon se Veerbhadra aur Bhadrakali ko utpann kiya. Veerbhadra ne yagya ko nasht kar diya aur Daksh ka sir kaat diya. Baad mein devtaon ke anurodh par Bhagwan Shiv ne Daksh ko jeevandan diya.
Mata Sati ke viyog mein Bhagwan Shiv atyant vyakul ho gaye. Unhone Sati ke parthiv sharir ko uthakar poore brahmand mein taandav karna shuru kar diya. Unke krodh aur shok se samast srishti sankat mein pad gai. Tab Bhagwan Vishnu ne apne Sudarshan Chakra se Mata Sati ke sharir ke anek tukde kar diye taaki Shivji ka shok samapt ho sake.
Jahan-jahan Mata Sati ke ang gire, vahan Shaktipithon ki sthapna hui. Manyata hai ki Assam ke Nilachal Parvat par Mata Sati ka yonibhag (garbhashakti ka prateek ang) gira tha. Isi sthan par Maa Kamakhya Shaktipith ki sthapna hui. Isliye yah mandir shakti, srijan aur maatritva ka sarvochch prateek mana jata hai.
"Kamakhya" naam ka arth hai vah Devi jo kamna (ichchha) ko poorn karti hain. Aisi manyata hai ki jo bhakt sacche man se Maa Kamakhya ki pooja karta hai, uski manokamnaen poorn hoti hain. Maa Kamakhya tantra sadhana ki adhishthatri Devi bhi mani jati hain aur yah sthan tantrik sadhana ke pramukh kendron mein se ek hai.
Mandir mein Devi ki koi murti nahin hai. Yahan prakritik shila mein sthit ek pavitra garbhagrih hai, jahan ek jalasrot nirantar pravahit hota rehta hai. Isi pavitra sthan ki pooja Maa Kamakhya ke roop mein ki jati hai.
Har varsh Ashadh maah mein Ambubachi Mela aayojit hota hai. Manyata hai ki is avadhi mein Maa Kamakhya rajaswala hoti hain. Teen dinon tak mandir ke kapat band rehte hain aur chauthe din vishesh pooja ke baad bhakton ke liye darshan khole jate hain. Is mele mein desh-videsh se lakhon shraddhalu aur sadhak aate hain.
Maa Kamakhya ki kripa se bhakton ko sukh, samriddhi, santan, shakti aur adhyatmik unnati prapt hoti hai. Ve apne bhakton ki manokamnaen poorn karti hain aur unhen jeevan ke kashton se mukti pradan karti hain.
