Birth of Hanuman: Anjaneya Story
Hanuman Ka Janm - Anjani Aur Kesari Ke Putra
Hanuman ji ka janm ek atyant adbhut aur divya ghatna hai jo puranon mein vistrit roop se varnit hai. Hanuman ji ke janm ki kahani keval ek balak ke janm ki kahani nahi, balki bhakti, tapasya, devtaon ke aashirwad aur bhagwan Shiva ke krodh se le kar kripa tak ki ek anokhi yatra hai. Hanuman ji Maa Anjani aur Raja Kesari ke putra hain, isliye unhe Anjaneya aur Kesarisuta bhi kaha jata hai. Unka sambandh Pawan Dev se bhi hai, isliye ve Pawanputra ya Vayuputra ke naam se jaane jaate hain. Unke janm ki kahani janm se bhi pahle shuru ho jaati hai, bhagwan Shiva ke samay se.
Shiva Ka Krodh Aur Vardaan
Kahani ye hai ki ek baar bhagwan Shiva ne ghor samadhi lagaayi. Unki samadhi mein kai varsh beet gaye. Is dauraan devtaon mein asur santapt the aur Ram avatar ka samay a raha tha. Devi Parvati ne Shiva ji ko samadhi se jagane ka nishchay kiya. Unhone Mohini roop dharan kiya aur Shiva ji ke samne nritya kiya. Shiva ji ki aankhen khuli aur unke krodh ka andar se phatkar anchal mein aa gaya. Is krodh se devta dar gaye aur unhomne Shiva ji se prarthana ki ki ve apna krodh kisi vishesh uddeshya ke liye rakkhe. Shiva ji ne vardaan diya ki unka ye krodh ek shaktishaali balak ke roop mein janm lega jo bhagwan Ram ke seva mein aayega. Is prakriya mein Pawan Dev (Vayu Dev) ka bhi mahatvapurna yogdaan tha. Brahma ji ne aadesh diya ki ye shakti Maa Anjani ke garbh mein aaye, jo apne pati Kesari ke saath tapasya mein lage hue the.
Maa Anjani Ki Tapasya
Maa Anjani ek atyant sundari aur sadhvi mahila thin. Unka vivah Vanar raj Kesari se hua tha. Kesari ek veer aur dharmik yoddha the. Lekin Anjani aur Kesari ko santan nahi thi. Is dukh ne Anjani ko Surya dev aur Rudra ki kathor tapasya karne ke liye prerit kiya. Unhone kai varshon tak ghor tapasya ki - garmi mein panchagni sadhna, sardi mein khule aakash mein tapasya, aur nirjal upvas rakhe. Unki tapasya se khush hokar Pawan Dev ne unhe darshan diya aur vardaan diya ki unhe aisa putra prapt hoga jo unke (Pawan Dev) aur Shiva ke ansh se hoga. Ye balak aseem shakti, gyan aur bhakti se sampann hoga. Kuch kathanon ke anusar, jab Pawan Dev ne Anjani ke hriday mein pravesh kiya to unki kookh mein Hanuman ka beej sthit hua. Lekin atyadhik prachalit katha ye hai ki Anjani ki tapasya se khush hokar Pawan Dev ne unhe prasadi ke roop mein Hanuman diya. Is prakar Maa Anjani ke garbh mein Hanuman ji ka janm hua. Unki tapasya ka parinaam itna mahan tha ki saare brahmand mein khalbal mach gaya.
Janm Aur Bal Leela
Hanuman ji ka janm Chaitra mas ki purnima ko hua tha. Is din ko aaj bhi Hanuman Jayanti ke roop mein manaya jaata hai. Unke janm ke saath hi anek chamatkaar hue - samudra mein lehrein uthne lagi, swarg se phool barse, devtaon ne dundhubhi bajaye, aur sab van-van khush se jhoom gaye. Unki shakti balakpan se hi prakat hone lagi. Jab Hanuman matke mein the, to unhone apni maa ke hriday mein Prabhu Ram ke prati bhakti ki prernaa dekhi. Jab ve bade hue to unki bal leelaon ne sabka mann jeet liya. Ek baar unhone Suraj ko ek pakka hua phal samajh liya aur usse khane ke liye aakash mein uthna shuru kar diye. Indra ne ye dekha aur apne vajra se prahar kiya. Hanuman ji ke guru-bhagwaan (Deva Guru Brihaspati) ne unki raksha ki. Asal mein ye sab devtaon ka ek prayojan tha ki Hanuman ki shakti ko parakhna aur unhe aagami kal ke liye taiyar karna. Is ghatna ke baad vaayu dev naraz ho gaye - unhone saansa roka aur prithvi par sabhi praniyon ki jaan mein sankat aa gaya. Tab sab devta dar gaye aur Indra ne Hanuman ko vardaan diya - vajra unhe kabhi chot na pahuncha sake, aag unhe jala na sake, paani mein doob na sake, aur shatru se ve kabhi na hare. Pawan Dev tabhi prasann hue. Brahma ji ne unhe vardaan diya ki ve kabhi kisi se na hare. Vishnu ji ne unhe amartya aur chiranjivi hone ka vardaan diya.
Surya Dev Se Shiksha
Hanuman ji ki balyavastha ke baad unki vidya shikshan ki baari aayi. Unke pita Kesari ne unhe shiksha ke liye bhejna chaha. Hanuman ji ne socha ki sabse gyani kaun hai? Unhone jaana ki Surya Dev sab kuch jaante hain aur ve aadha jagmagate hain. Isliye unhone Surya Dev ko apna guru banane ka nishchay kiya. Hanuman ji Surya ki or muh kar ke ulate aakash mein udne lage. Surya Dev unki lagan dekhe kar prasann hue. Lekin Surya Dev ne kaha - "Main din mein sada gati mein hoon, main kaise tumhe shiksha de sakta hoon?" Hanuman ji ne kaha - "Aap sada gati mein hain to main bhi aapke saath chalunga." Surya Dev ne Hanuman ji ki buddhi aur dedi shikshan liya - Ved, Vedang, Upanishad, mantra vidya, nyaya aur shastra. Hanuman ji ne saare gyan atma-satik kar liya. Surya Dev ne Hanuman ji ko shiksha aur deeksha donon di. Hanuman ji ne Surya Dev ka dakshina wekte hue kuch nahi manga, sirf itna kaha - "Main chahta hoon ki main Ram bhakti mein aviral rahoon." Surya Dev ne vardaan diya - "Tum Ram ke sabse bade bhakt rahoge, tumhari bhakti amar rahegi." Surya Dev se shiksha lekar Hanuman ji veed aur gyaani ho gaye, lekin ve hamesha vinamra rahe. Is ghatna se ye shiksha milti hai ki sachcha gyan vinamrata sikhata hai aur jo gyaani vinamra hota hai, wohi sachcha gyaani hai.
Ram Se Milan
Hanuman ji ki zindagi ka sabse mahatvapurna mod tab aaya jab ve Rishyamook parvat par Ram aur Lakshman se mile. Ye milan Hanuman ji ke bachpan ki nishchit kalpanaon, tapasya aur vidya shikshan ke baad hua. Sugriv ne Hanuman ji se kaha ki ve ye pata lagayein ki ye do vyakti (Ram aur Lakshman) kaun hain. Hanuman ji ne sadhu ka roop dharan kiya, Ram aur Lakshman ke paas gaye, unke parichay liya. Ram ji ne bataya ki ve Ayodhya ke raja Dashrath ke putra hain aur unki patni Sita ko Ravan ne har liya hai. Yeh sunte hi Hanuman ji ka dil pighal gaya. Unhone Ram ji ko apne mann ka raja bana liya. Hanuman ji ne Ram aur Lakshman ko Sugriv ke paas bheja, aur Sugriv se mitrata karwayi. Hanuman ji ka Ram se milan bhakti ka charam hai. Kaha jata hai ki jis kshan Hanuman ji ne Ram ko dekha, unke andar ek alag rooh jag gayi. Ram ji ki or dekhte hi Hanuman ji ko apni poorv-rashiyan yaad aa gayin aur unhen apne Shiva ansh ka gyan ho gaya. Unhone samajh liya ki ye wahi Prabhu hain jinki seva karne ke liye unka janm hua hai. Tab se Hanuman ji ka jeevan Ram ji ke naam aur bhakti mein sama gaya. Is milan ke baad jo Ramayana ki kahani aage badhti hai, usmein Hanuman ji ka yogdaan itna mahan hai ke unke bina Ramayana ki poori kahani adhoori hoti. Hanuman ji ne siddh kar diya ki sachchi bhakti mein shakti, gyan, bal, aur sahas - sab kuch samaya hota hai. Unka jeevan bhakton ke liye ek prerna hai ki agar aap sachche mann se prabhu ko samarpit hain to aap kuch bhi kar sakte hain. Jai Bajrang Bali!
