बहुत समय पहले Mathura nagri ka ek shaktishaali aur atyachaari raja tha – Kans.
Kans apni behen Devaki ko bahut pyar karta tha. Lekin unki shaadi ke samay ek akashvaani hui –
👉 “Hey Kans! Teri behen Devaki ka jo aathvaan putra hoga, wahi tera vinash karega.”
Ye sunkar Kans ka pyar turant gusse mein badal gaya. Usne Devaki aur unke pati Vasudev ko jail mein daal diya.
🏰 Life in the Prison
Har baar jab Devaki ko santaan hoti, Vasudev apna vachan nibhate hue us bachhe ko Kans ke hawale kar dete. Kans bina daya kiye un sabhi bachchon ko maar deta.
Six babies tak aisa hi chalta raha.
Saatve garbh mein ek miracle hua – Yogmaya ne wo garbh Rohini ke garbh mein transfer kar diya. Aur wahi baccha baad mein Balram ji ke roop mein janme.
🌙 The Divine Birth
Phir aayi bhadrpad ki Krishna paksh ki Ashtami ki raat.
Tez barish, bijli ki chamak, andhera chhaya hua tha. Jail ke darwazon par pehre the.
Tabhi Devaki ke garbh se ek divine roop prakat hua – Bhagwan Vishnu chaar bhujaon ke saath.
Unhone kaha –
👉 “Maa, pita! Main tumhara aathvaan putra hoon. Ab tum mujhe Gokul mein Nand aur Yashoda ke paas le jao. Vahaan mera palan-poshan hoga.”
Ye kehkar unhone apna roop ek cute baby Krishna ka bana liya.
🧺 Vasudev’s Journey
Vasudev ne Krishna ko ek tokri mein rakha aur jail se nikal pade. Sabhi darwaze khud-ba-khud khul gaye, soldiers gheri neend mein so gaye.
Raat andheri thi, barish tez ho rahi thi. Jab Vasudev Yamuna nadi tak pahunche, to paani tufan ki tarah beh raha tha. Lekin jaise hi unhone Krishna ko kandhe par uthakar nadi mein kadam rakha, Yamuna maa ne raasta de diya.
Upar se Sheshnaag ne apne phaile hue fannon se Krishna ko bachaya. Wo drishya itna divya tha ki dekhne wale mohit ho jaate.
🏡 Arrival in Gokul
Finally Vasudev Gokul pahunche. Us raat Yashoda maa ne ek baby girl ko janm diya tha. Vasudev ne quietly Krishna ko wahaan rakh diya aur us ladki ko tokri mein lekar wapas jail laut aaye.
Subah Kans ne dekha ek ladki janmi hai. Usne usse maarna chaha, lekin wo kanya akash mein udd gayi aur apna Devi ka roop dikhakar boli –
👉 “Kans! Tera vinaash karne wala janm le chuka hai. Wo Gokul mein hai!”
Kans sun kar ghabra gaya.
🎶 Joy in Gokul
Dusri taraf, Gokul mein subah hui to sabne dekha ki Nand Baba ke ghar ek charming baby boy janma hai.
Sab ne khushi manayi, dhol-nagade baje, logon ne ladoo baate.
Baby Krishna ki aankhein moti jaise chamakti thi, unke curly baal aur pyaari muskaan sabke dil chura lete. Dheere-dheere unhone apni naughty leelaen shuru ki – makhan churana, bansuri bajana, gopiyon ko chhedna.
Puri Gokul mein unki hansi gunjti thi.
🌸 Why We Celebrate Janmashtami
Tab se har saal Janmashtami celebrate hoti hai.
Mandiron mein jhule sajte hain, jisme chhote Krishna ko baithakar bhakton dwara jhulaya jaata hai.
Matki phod competition hota hai, jo unki bachpan ki makhan-chor leela ki yaad dilata hai.
Bhakton ki bhakti se raat bhar bhajan-kirtan chalta hai. Midnight ke 12 baje Krishna janm ki aarti hoti hai aur sabhi unke divine aagman ko celebrate karte hain.
✨ The Message of Janmashtami
This story of Krishna’s birth teaches us:
Evil may look powerful for some time, but truth and dharma always win.
भगवान का जन्म धरती पर अधर्म के नाश और धर्म की स्थापना के लिए होता है।
Kanha ki kahani hume pyar, bhakti aur ummeed dene wali hai.
Aaj bhi jab hum Janmashtami celebrate karte hain, to sirf ek festival nahi balki ek reminder hota hai ki har andhera ek din khatam hoga aur prakash zaroor aayega.
