VishnuJi Ki Katha

Sanatan Dharm mein Bhagwan Vishnu ko srishti ka palanhaar aur jagat ka rakshak mana jata hai. Brahma, Vishnu aur Mahesh teenon devon mein Bhagwan Vishnu ka karya sampoorna srishti ka palan-poshan karna hai. Jab bhi prithvi par adharm badhta hai, paap apni seema paar kar deta hai aur dharm sankat mein pad jata hai, tab Bhagwan Vishnu kisi na kisi avataar mein prakat hokar dharm ki raksha karte hain aur apne bhakton ka kalyan karte hain. Shrimad Bhagavad Gita mein Bhagwan Shri Krishna ne kaha hai, "Yada Yada Hi Dharmasya Glanir Bhavati Bharata, Abhyutthanam Adharmasya Tadatmanam Srijamyaham." Arthaat jab-jab dharm ki hani aur adharm ki vriddhi hoti hai, tab-tab main swayam avataar lekar dharm ki sthapana karta hoon.

Srishti ke aarambh mein chaaron aur keval jal hi jal tha. Us samay Bhagwan Vishnu Kshir Sagar mein Anant Sheshnag ki shaiya par Yog Nidra mein virajmaan the. Unki naabhi se ek divya kamal prakat hua, jismein Brahma Ji prakat hue. Bhagwan Vishnu ki aagya se Brahma Ji ne sampoorna srishti ki rachna ki. Iske baad Bhagwan Vishnu ne srishti ke palan ka daayitva sambhala aur Bhagwan Shiv ko srishti ke sanhaar ka karya prapt hua. Is prakar Tridevon ne milkar sansaar ki vyavastha sthapit ki.

Bhagwan Vishnu ka swaroop atyant divya aur manohar hai. Unka varna shyam hai, ve peetambar dharan karte hain aur unki chaar bhujaayein hain. Ek haath mein Panchajanya Shankh, doosre mein Sudarshan Chakra, teesre mein Kaumodaki Gada aur chauthe haath mein Kamal ka pushp virajmaan rehta hai. Unke vakshasthal par Shrivatsa ka chinh aur Kaustubh Mani sushobhit rehti hai. Mata Lakshmi unki ardhangini hain aur unke charanon ki seva karti hain. Bhagwan Vishnu ka vaahan Garud hai. Aisa mana jata hai ki jo bhakt shraddha aur bhakti se Bhagwan Vishnu ka smaran karta hai, uske jeevan ke dukh aur kasht dheere-dheere door hone lagte hain.

Mata Lakshmi ke Bhagwan Vishnu ki ardhangini banne ki katha bhi bahut prasiddh hai. Ek samay Maharishi Durvasa ke shraap ke karan devtaon ka tej aur aishwarya samaapt ho gaya tha. Tab Bhagwan Vishnu ki salah par devtaon aur asuron ne milkar Samudra Manthan kiya. Mandarachal Parvat ko mathani aur Vasuki Naag ko rassi banaya gaya. Samudra Manthan se anek divya ratna prakat hue, jinmein Amrit Kalash, Airavat Haathi, Uchchaihshrava Ghoda, Kaustubh Mani, Parijat Vriksh, Kamdhenu, Chandra Dev, Dhanvantari aur ant mein Mata Lakshmi prakat hui. Mata Lakshmi ne sabhi devtaon aur asuron mein se Bhagwan Vishnu ko apna pati chuna, kyunki ve dharm, satya, daya aur maryada ke prateek the. Tab se Mata Lakshmi sada Bhagwan Vishnu ke saath virajmaan hain.

Bhagwan Vishnu ne samay-samay par anek avataar dharan kiye, jinmein unke Dashavatar sabse adhik prasiddh hain. Unhone Matsya Avataar lekar Vedon ki raksha ki, Kurma Avataar mein Samudra Manthan ke dauran Mandarachal Parvat ko apni peeth par sambhala, Varaha Avataar mein Prithvi ko Hiranyaksha se bachaya, Narasimha Avataar lekar bhakt Prahlad ki raksha ki aur Hiranyakashipu ka vadh kiya. Vamana Avataar mein Raja Bali ka ahankaar door kiya, Parashurama Avataar mein adharmi rajaon ka vinaash kiya, Shri Ram ke roop mein Ravan ka vadh kiya aur Shri Krishna ke roop mein Kans ka vinaash kar Mahabharat ke madhyam se dharm ki sthapana ki. Kal Yug ke ant mein Bhagwan Vishnu Kalki Avataar lekar adharm ka samool naash karenge.

Bhakt Prahlad ki katha Bhagwan Vishnu ki anant kripa ka sabse bada pramaan mani jati hai. Hiranyakashipu naam ka asur raja swayam ko Bhagwan manta tha aur sabse apni pooja karwana chahta tha. Lekin uska putra Prahlad keval Bhagwan Vishnu ka naam japta tha. Is baat se krodhit hokar Hiranyakashipu ne Prahlad ko kai baar maarne ka prayas kiya. Kabhi use zahar diya gaya, kabhi haathiyon se kuchalvaya gaya, kabhi unche parvat se giraaya gaya aur kabhi agni mein baithaya gaya. Lekin har baar Bhagwan Vishnu ne apne bhakt ki raksha ki. Ant mein jab Hiranyakashipu ne ek stambh par prahar karke poocha ki tera Bhagwan kahan hai, tab Bhagwan Vishnu Narasimha roop mein us stambh se prakat hue aur sandhya samay, mahal ki dehleez par apne nakhon se Hiranyakashipu ka vadh karke Prahlad ki raksha ki.

Gajendra Moksha ki katha bhi Bhagwan Vishnu ki daya aur karuna ka adbhut udaharan hai. Gajendra naam ka ek haathi apne parivaar ke saath ek sarovar mein snaan karne gaya. Tabhi ek magarmachh ne uska pair pakad liya. Bahut varshon tak sangharsh karne ke baad jab Gajendra poori tarah thak gaya, tab usne Bhagwan Vishnu ko poore mann se pukara aur kamal ka phool arpit karte hue unki sharan maangi. Bhakt ki pukaar sunte hi Bhagwan Vishnu Garud par savaar hokar turant wahan pahunche aur apne Sudarshan Chakra se magarmachh ka vadh karke Gajendra ko mukti pradaan ki. Is katha se yah sandesh milta hai ki jo bhakt sache mann se Bhagwan ko yaad karta hai, Bhagwan uski raksha avashya karte hain.

Raja Bali ki katha bhi Bhagwan Vishnu ki divya leelaon mein bahut mahatvapurn hai. Raja Bali bahut bade daani aur parakrami the, lekin dheere-dheere unmein ahankaar aa gaya tha. Tab Bhagwan Vishnu ne Vamana naam ke baal brahman ka roop dharan kiya aur Raja Bali ke yagya mein pahunchkar keval teen pag bhoomi daan mein maangi. Raja Bali ne bina soche-samjhe daan de diya. Tab Bhagwan Vishnu ne apna viraat swaroop dharan kar liya. Ek pag mein prithvi, doosre pag mein swarg naap liya. Jab teesre pag ke liye koi sthan nahin bacha, tab Raja Bali ne apna sir Bhagwan ke charanon mein rakh diya. Raja Bali ki bhakti aur samarpan se prasann hokar Bhagwan Vishnu ne unhe Patal Lok ka raja banaya aur sada unki raksha karne ka vardaan diya.

Bhagwan Vishnu ki pooja vishesh roop se Ekadashi, Dev Uthani Ekadashi, Vaikuntha Ekadashi aur Guruvar ke din ki jati hai. Bhakt shraddha aur bhakti se "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya" mantra ka jap karte hain, Vishnu Sahasranam ka paath karte hain aur Tulsi Dal arpit kar Bhagwan ki aaradhana karte hain. Aisa mana jata hai ki jo vyakti sache mann se Bhagwan Vishnu aur Mata Lakshmi ki pooja karta hai, uske jeevan mein sukh, shanti, samriddhi aur dharm ka vaas hota hai aur uske sabhi kasht dheere-dheere samaapt ho jaate hain.

Bhagwan Vishnu ki sampoorna katha humein yah shiksha deti hai ki Bhagwan sadaiv satya aur dharm ka saath dete hain. Jo vyakti shraddha, vishwas, daya, seva aur bhakti ke maarg par chalta hai, Bhagwan Vishnu us par apni kripa sada banaye rakhte hain. Ahankaar ka ant nishchit hai, lekin sachchi bhakti aur nishkaam karm ka phal sadaiv mangalmay hota hai. Isi sandesh ke saath Bhagwan Vishnu ki divya leelaayein aaj bhi karodon bhakton ko dharm aur satya ke maarg par chalne ki prerna deti hain.
