Vindhyavasini Mata Katha

Vindhyavasini Mata ki katha ke anusaar ve Aadishakti Maa Durga ka atyant divya aur shaktishali swaroop maani jati hain. Unka pavitra dham Uttar Pradesh ke Mirzapur jile mein sthit Vindhyachal parvat par hai, isliye unhen Vindhyavasini Devi kaha jata hai, arthaat “Vindhya parvat par nivas karne wali Devi.” Puranon mein varnan milta hai ki jab Prithvi par rakshason aur adharm ka atyachar badh gaya tha, tab devtaon ne Maa Aadishakti se prarthana ki ki ve Prithvi par prakat hokar dharm ki raksha karen. Usi samay Bhagwan Vishnu ne Shri Krishna ke roop mein janm lene ka sankalp liya aur Yogmaya ko aadesh diya ki ve unki leela mein sahayata karen.

Jab Bhagwan Shri Krishna ka janm Mathura ki karagar mein hua, tab Vasudev Ji unhen Gokul mein Nand Baba aur Yashoda Mata ke ghar chhod aaye aur wahan janmi kanya ko lekar wapas karagar laut aaye. Jab Kans ko yah pata chala ki Devaki ki santan janm le chuki hai, to vah us kanya ko maarne ke liye karagar pahunch gaya. Usne jaise hi us kanya ko patthar par patakne ka prayas kiya, vah kanya uske haath se chhootkar aakash mein prakat ho gayi aur divya roop dharan kar boli— “He moorkh Kans, tujhe maarne wala janm le chuka hai aur surakshit sthan par pahunch chuka hai.” Itna kahkar vah Devi Vindhya parvat par jaakar virajmaan ho gayin aur Vindhyavasini Devi ke naam se prasiddh huin.

Ek anya katha ke anusaar Maa Vindhyavasini ne Vindhyachal parvat par nivas karte hue anek daityon aur rakshason ka sanhar kiya. Unhone bhakton ki raksha ki aur Prithvi par dharm ki sthapna ki. Maa ko shakti, sahas, karuna aur raksha ki Devi mana jata hai. Aisa vishwas hai ki jo bhakt sacche man aur shraddha se Mata ki pooja karta hai, uski sabhi manokamnayen poorn hoti hain aur uske jeevan ke dukh door ho jate hain.

Vindhyachal dham ko Bharat ke pramukh Shaktipithon mein se ek mana jata hai. Navratri ke samay yahan lakhon shraddhalu Mata ke darshan ke liye aate hain aur vishesh pooja-archana karte hain. Mata Vindhyavasini ki katha hamen yah sandesh deti hai ki jab bhi adharm badhta hai, tab Devi kisi na kisi roop mein prakat hokar apne bhakton ki raksha aur dharm ki sthapna karti hain.
