Sita Mata Katha

Ramayana, Mata Sita ka prakatya bahut hi divya aur chamatkari mana jata hai. Prachin samay mein Raja Janaka, jo Mithila ke raja the, ek yagya ke liye bhoomi taiyar karte samay swayam khet mein hal chala rahe the. Usi dauran unka hal dharti mein dabe ek divya kalash se takraya. Jab us kalash ko nikala gaya aur khola gaya, tab usmein ek tejomayi aur alaukik kanya prakat hui. Wahi divya balika aage chal kar Mata Sita ke naam se prasiddh hui. Kaha jata hai ki Mata Sita koi sadharan kanya nahi thi, balki swayam Adi Shakti aur Devi Lakshmi ka avatar thi. Maharshi Yajnavalkya ne apni divya shaktiyon se unke tej aur aatma ki divyata ko Raja Janak aur Rani Sunayana ke hriday mein sthapit kiya. Iske baad Rani Sunayana ne us divya kanya ko apni putri ke roop mein sweekar kiya aur bade prem aur mamta se unka palan-poshan kiya. Mata Urmila unki chhoti behen thi, jinka vivah baad mein Lakshmana ke saath hua. Raja Janak ki putri hone ke karan Mata Sita ko Janaki, Janakatmaja aur Janaksuta bhi kaha jata hai. Mithila ki rajkumari hone ke karan ve Maithili naam se bhi prasiddh hui. Dharti se prakat hone ke karan unhe Bhumiputri, Bhusuta aur Dharti Putri bhi kaha jata hai. Dharmik manyataon ke anusaar Mata Sita ka prakatya Vaishakh Shukla Navami ke pavitra din Mithila mein hua tha. Isi karan is din ko aaj bhi bade shraddha aur bhakti ke saath Sita Navami ke roop mein manaya jata hai. Mata Sita tyag, pavitrata, dhairya, karuna aur pativrata dharm ki sarvottam prateek mani jati hain. Jab Sita vivah yogya hui, tab Raja Janaka ne ek bhavya swayamvar ka ayojan kiya. Swayamvar ki shart yeh thi ki jo bhi veer Bhagwan Shiva ke vishal dhanush Pinak par pratyancha chadha dega, wahi Mata Sita se vivah karega. Is swayamvar mein anek raja aur mahan yoddha aaye. Sabne us divya dhanush ko uthakar pratyancha chadhane ka prayas kiya, lekin koi bhi us dhanush ko hila tak nahi saka. Tab Rama guru ki aagya se aage bade. Bhagwan Shri Ram ne bahut hi saralta aur sahajta se us dhanush ko uthaya. Jaise hi ve us par pratyancha chadhane lage, dhanush zor ki dhvani ke saath do tukdon mein toot gaya. Yeh adbhut drishya dekhkar sabhi log chakit reh gaye. Iske baad Mata Sita ne Shri Ram ko varmala pehnayi aur dono ka divya vivah bade hi dhoom-dham aur vaidik vidhi se sampann hua। Jab Rama ke rajyabhishek ki taiyari chal rahi thi, tab Manthara aur Kaikeyi ke karan Shri Ram ko 14 varsh ka vanvas mila. Mata Sita ek adarsh patni ke roop mein apne pati ke saath van ko chali gayin. Vanvas ke dauran Ravana ne chal aur kapat se Mata Sita ka haran kar liya aur unhe apni nagari Lanka le gaya. Lanka mein Ravan ne Mata Sita ko Ashok Vatika mein rakha aur unpar vivah ka dabav dala, lekin Mata Sita ne hamesha Shri Ram ke prati apni atoot nishtha aur pavitrata banaye rakhi। Iske baad Bhagwan Rama ne vanar sena ki sahayata se Lanka par akraman kiya. Hanuman, Sugriva aur anya veeron ki madad se bhayankar yudh hua, jismein ant mein Ravan ka vadh hua aur Mata Sita ko mukti mili। Ayodhya lautne ke baad, samaj ke sandeh ko door karne ke liye Mata Sita ko Agni Pariksha deni padi. Mata Sita is pariksha mein poori tarah pavitra siddh huiं। Iske baad bhi kuch Ayodhyavasiyon ne unpar prashn uthaye, jiske karan Mata Sita ko van mein Maharshi Valmiki ke ashram mein rehna pada। Wahin unhone apne do putron Lava aur Kusha ko janm diya aur Palan-poshan kiya. Apne jeevan ke antim charan mein, jab Shri Ram ne sabha mein unse phir se apni pavitrata siddh karne ko kaha, tab Mata Sita ne apni mata Dharti ka aahvaan kiya। Turant Dharti Mata prakat huiं aur Mata Sita ko apne saath sneh aur samman ke saath dharti mein sama liya। Is prakar Mata Sita punah dharti mein vilin ho gayin aur apna divya lok prapt kiya।
