रंग महल...एक असे मंदिर जिथे अशी मान्यता आहे कि भगवान कृष्णा रात्री निवास साठी येतात

भारत देश हा एक असा देश आहे जिथे आपल्याला वेगवेगळ्या संस्कृती,संस्कार आणि वेगवेगळ्या गोष्टी ऐकायला मिळतात. अशा गोष्टी ऐकूम आपण सगळेच भारावून जातो. 

जगात कोणत्याही देशात अशा गोष्टी बघायला आणि ऐकायला मिळणार नाहीत. 

जेव्हा आपण कृष्ण नगरी मथुरा - वृदांवन मध्ये जातो. तिथे तुम्हाला असे एक मंदिर भेटेल. जिथे असा बोलले जाते कि तिथे अजून कृष्णा भगवान येतात.दररोज पहाटे या मंदिराचा दरवाजा उघडला जातो.रात्री जेव्हा दरवाजा बंद करायची वेळ येते तेव्हा एक विशिष्ट प्रकारची तयारी केली जाते. एक पलंग सजवला जातो जिथे अशी मान्यता आहे के ते आराम करतात.तसेच त्यांच्या साठी खाण्या पिण्याचा गोष्टी ठेवल्या जातात त्यांचा साठी लोणी ठेवले जाते जे त्यांना खूप आवडते,मिठाई वगैरे वगैरे आणि देवाला भोग लावला जातो. 

आता तुम्ही म्हणाल कि यात काय वेगळी गोष्ट आहे हे तर सामान्य आहे. पण सगळ्यात मोठी गोष्ट हि आहे कि जेव्हा पहाटे मंदिराचे पुजारी दरवाजा उघडतात तेव्हा तिकडे पलंग असा असतो जसे कोणी तरी तिथे रात्री झोपले असेल आणि जे काही भोग लावण्यासाठी ठेवलेले प्रसाद असतो तो अर्धा खाऊन ठेवलेला असतो,लोणी थोडा खाल्लेला असतो. 

 

 

निधीवान जिथे आज पण  श्री कृष्णा  रासलीला खेळतात. 

या जागेवर मंदिराचा आजूबाजू एक घनदाट वन सुद्धा आहे. हे एक रहस्यमयी स्थान आहे. तिथे राहणारे लोक सांगतात कि निधीवन मध्ये आज सुद्धा श्री कृष्णा आणि राधा मध्यरात्री नंतर रासलीला खेळतात. वन मध्ये जे तुम्हाला झाडी दिसतात त्या गोपिकांचा स्वरूपात रासलीला खेळायला येतात. 

 

निधीवन मध्ये रात्री कोणालाही थांबायची परवानगी नाही 

या वनामध्ये जिथे श्री कृष्णा रासलीला खेळतात तिथे रात्री थांबण्यास मनाई आहे. त्याचा पाठी मागे एक कारण सांगितले जाते.आतापर्यंत दोघांनी रात्री वनामध्ये लपून बसून श्री कृष्णाचे दर्शन करायचा प्रयत्न केला. दुसऱ्या दिवशी सकाळी ते वेडे झाल्याचे आढळून आले.त्यांतील एकाची समाधी सुद्धा तुम्हाला तिथे पाहायला मिळेल. 

निधीवन तुम्हाला सकाळ पासून सायंकाळ पर्यंत दर्शनासाठी खुले असते. तुम्ही या वेळेत मंदिर मध्ये जाऊन दर्शन आणि प्रसाद घेऊ शकता.तसेच या मंदिराबद्दल बरीच माहिती Youtube  वर भेटू शकेल. आणि या सगळ्या फक्त  गोष्टी नाहीत तर एक आस्था आहे. आणि लोक विचारतात असे कसे वेडे झाले जे तिथे थांबले होते ते. पण मला असे वाटते कि जसे एक Operation  करण्यासाठी Doctor ची पदवी लागते. जसे कोणाची Court मध्ये case लढाईला Lawyer चा अभ्यास करावा लागतो तसेच देवाला पाहण्यासाठी त्याचा अनुभव घेण्यासाठी अंगात देवपण असणे खूप गरजेचे आहे.त्यांचा तो विराट रूप तो अनुभव घेतल्यानंतर जगायची इच्छाच राहत नसेल. मला आले वाटते. आणि बरीच माहिती Internet, Youtube  उपलब्ध आहे.

The famous story of Lakshagrah in Mahabharat

 

 

 What is Lakshagraha in Mahabharat?

Lakshagraha was a house which was made on the orders of Duryodhana. In Mahabharata, Lakshagraha plays an important role.The Kauravas had built this cave and plotted to burn Pandavas alive. But the Pandavas saved their lives through the narrow road.Duryodhana was enmity with the pandavas from the beginning and every time he kept plotting to kill them. His uncle Shakuni was giving full support in his work. Once Duryodhana prepared a plan to eliminate Pabdavas along with their families.This plan of Duryodhana was very Dangerous.Duryadhana build Lakshagraha in Vanavrit.Its ruins ara found in Barnawa area of baghpat district. A tunnel built in this palace opens near the Hindon river.

How Duryodhana Convinced his Father ?

Duryodhan also took help of his father to make his plan successful. Duryodhan began to realize that Yudhishthira had become popular among the people of Hastinapur. Impressed by these qualities, Bhishma has even expressed his desire to enthrone his grandfather Yudhishthira. In such situation, Duryodhana had decided that he would not left this happen at any cost. So he said to his father, "Father"! If once Yudhishthira gets the throne, then this Kingdom will belong to the Pandavas forever. The Kauravas will remain their servants. Dhritarashtra, explaining to Duryodhana, said that son Duryodhana! Yudhishthira's children This is why he has authority over this kingdom. Then Bhishma and his subjects also want to make him king." Explaining to Duryodhana, Dhritarashtra said son Duryodhana ! Yudhishthira is the biggest among the sYudhishthira is the biggest among the sons and therefore he has the right to this kingdom. Then Bhishma and the people also want to make him king." Hearing the words of Dhritarashtra, Duryodhana said, "Father! I have arranged it, just tell me somehow to send the Pandavas to Warnawat."

Lakshagrah was built differntly for Pandvas

 

Duryodhana had got a building constructed by a craftsman named Purochan for the Pandavas to live. This whole palace was made of lac, fat, dry grass etc. More such things were used in the construction of this palace, which catch fire quickly. Duryodhana's idea behind this was that when the Pandavas would fall into a deep sleep in this palace, it would be set on fire, so that this palace would burn to ashes immediately and no one would get a chance to escape.

Yudhishthira reached the palace with his family.

 

 Duryodhan had convinced his father with his words. That's why Dhritarashtra ordered Yudhishthira to go to Vanavrit. Following the orders of Dhritarashtra, Yudhishthira entered the palace with his mother and all the brothers and started living with the family.

 

Vidur revealed the whole secret

 

 This plan of Duryodhana failed because of Vidur. When Yudhishthira met him on his way to Vanavrit, he told about all the conspiracies of Duryodhana and asked him to be alert. Vidur told Yudhishthira that Duryodhana had built a palace with inflammable materials which would turn to ashes as soon as it caught fire. That's why you guys make a tunnel from inside the building to reach the forest so that you can use it when there is a crisis.I will secretly send the tunnel builder to you. But till then stay in the palace carefully. Yudhishthira thanked Vidura.

 

 Pandavas escaped like this

  After finding out the plan, the Pandavas started taking measures to protect themselves. The tunnel is ready. Then one day Yadhishthira said to Bhimsen, "Bhim! Now we all should get out of here by burning the wicked Purochan in this Lakshagriha." Bhima took Purochan prisoner the same night and set the palace on fire. Yudhishthira came out safely through the tunnel along with mother Kunti and brothers. But when Duryodhana came to know about the escape of the Pandavas, he got very angry at the failure of his plan and again started preparing for a new plan.
