शिवरात्रि विशेष : शिकारी कथा

एक बार पार्वती जी ने भगवान शिवशंकर से पूछा, 'ऐसा कौन-सा श्रेष्ठ तथा सरल व्रत-पूजन है, जिससे मृत्युलोक के प्राणी आपकी कृपा सहज ही प्राप्त कर लेते हैं?' उत्तर में शिवजी ने पार्वती को 'शिवरात्रि' के व्रत का विधान बताकर यह कथा सुनाई- 'एक बार चित्रभानु नामक एक शिकारी था। पशुओं की हत्या करके वह अपने कुटुम्ब को पालता था। वह एक साहूकार का ऋणी था, लेकिन उसका ऋण समय पर न चुका सका। क्रोधित साहूकार ने शिकारी को शिवमठ में बंदी बना लिया। संयोग से उस दिन शिवरात्रि थी।'

शिकारी ध्यानमग्न होकर शिव-संबंधी धार्मिक बातें सुनता रहा। चतुर्दशी को उसने शिवरात्रि व्रत की कथा भी सुनी। संध्या होते ही साहूकार ने उसे अपने पास बुलाया और ऋण चुकाने के विषय में बात की। शिकारी अगले दिन सारा ऋण लौटा देने का वचन देकर बंधन से छूट गया। अपनी दिनचर्या की भांति वह जंगल में शिकार के लिए निकला। लेकिन दिनभर बंदी गृह में रहने के कारण भूख-प्यास से व्याकुल था। शिकार करने के लिए वह एक तालाब के किनारे बेल-वृक्ष पर पड़ाव बनाने लगा। बेल वृक्ष के नीचे शिवलिंग था जो विल्वपत्रों से ढका हुआ था। शिकारी को उसका पता न चला।

पड़ाव बनाते समय उसने जो टहनियां तोड़ीं, वे संयोग से शिवलिंग पर गिरीं। इस प्रकार दिनभर भूखे-प्यासे शिकारी का व्रत भी हो गया और शिवलिंग पर बेलपत्र भी चढ़ गए। एक पहर रात्रि बीत जाने पर एक गर्भिणी मृगी तालाब पर पानी पीने पहुंची। शिकारी ने धनुष पर तीर चढ़ाकर ज्यों ही प्रत्यंचा खींची, मृगी बोली, 'मैं गर्भिणी हूं। शीघ्र ही प्रसव करूंगी। तुम एक साथ दो जीवों की हत्या करोगे, जो ठीक नहीं है। मैं बच्चे को जन्म देकर शीघ्र ही तुम्हारे समक्ष प्रस्तुत हो जाऊंगी, तब मार लेना।' शिकारी ने प्रत्यंचा ढीली कर दी और मृगी जंगली झाड़ियों में लुप्त हो गई।

कुछ ही देर बाद एक और मृगी उधर से निकली। शिकारी की प्रसन्नता का ठिकाना न रहा। समीप आने पर उसने धनुष पर बाण चढ़ाया। तब उसे देख मृगी ने विनम्रतापूर्वक निवेदन किया, 'हे पारधी! मैं थोड़ी देर पहले ऋतु से निवृत्त हुई हूं। कामातुर विरहिणी हूं। अपने प्रिय की खोज में भटक रही हूं। मैं अपने पति से मिलकर शीघ्र ही तुम्हारे पास आ जाऊंगी।' शिकारी ने उसे भी जाने दिया।

 दो बार शिकार को खोकर उसका माथा ठनका। वह चिंता में पड़ गया। रात्रि का आखिरी पहर बीत रहा था। तभी एक अन्य मृगी अपने बच्चों के साथ उधर से निकली। शिकारी के लिए यह स्वर्णिम अवसर था। उसने धनुष पर तीर चढ़ाने में देर नहीं लगाई। वह तीर छोड़ने ही वाला था कि मृगी बोली, 'हे पारधी!' मैं इन बच्चों को इनके पिता के हवाले करके लौट आऊंगी। इस समय मुझे मत मारो।

शिकारी हंसा और बोला, सामने आए शिकार को छोड़ दूं, मैं ऐसा मूर्ख नहीं। इससे पहले मैं दो बार अपना शिकार खो चुका हूं। मेरे बच्चे भूख-प्यास से तड़प रहे होंगे। उत्तर में मृगी ने फिर कहा, जैसे तुम्हें अपने बच्चों की ममता सता रही है, ठीक वैसे ही मुझे भी। इसलिए सिर्फ बच्चों के नाम पर मैं थोड़ी देर के लिए जीवनदान मांग रही हूं। हे पारधी! मेरा विश्वास कर, मैं इन्हें इनके पिता के पास छोड़कर तुरंत लौटने की प्रतिज्ञा करती हूं।

मृगी का दीन स्वर सुनकर शिकारी को उस पर दया आ गई। उसने उस मृगी को भी जाने दिया। शिकार के अभाव में बेल-वृक्षपर बैठा शिकारी बेलपत्र तोड़-तोड़कर नीचे फेंकता जा रहा था। पौ फटने को हुई तो एक हृष्ट-पुष्ट मृग उसी रास्ते पर आया। शिकारी ने सोच लिया कि इसका शिकार वह अवश्य करेगा। शिकारी की तनी प्रत्यंचा देखकर मृगविनीत स्वर में बोला, हे पारधी भाई! यदि तुमने मुझसे पूर्व आने वाली तीन मृगियों तथा छोटे-छोटे बच्चों को मार डाला है, तो मुझे भी मारने में विलंब न करो, ताकि मुझे उनके वियोग में एक क्षण भी दुःख न सहना पड़े। मैं उन मृगियों का पति हूं। यदि तुमने उन्हें जीवनदान दिया है तो मुझे भी कुछ क्षण का जीवन देने की कृपा करो। मैं उनसे मिलकर तुम्हारे समक्ष उपस्थित हो जाऊंगा।

मृग की बात सुनते ही शिकारी के सामने पूरी रात का घटनाचक्र घूम गया, उसने सारी कथा मृग को सुना दी। तब मृग ने कहा, 'मेरी तीनों पत्नियां जिस प्रकार प्रतिज्ञाबद्ध होकर गई हैं, मेरी मृत्यु से अपने धर्म का पालन नहीं कर पाएंगी। अतः जैसे तुमने उन्हें विश्वासपात्र मानकर छोड़ा है, वैसे ही मुझे भी जाने दो। मैं उन सबके साथ तुम्हारे सामने शीघ्र ही उपस्थित होता हूं।'

 उपवास, रात्रि-जागरण तथा शिवलिंग पर बेलपत्र चढ़ने से शिकारी का हिंसक हृदय निर्मल हो गया था। उसमें भगवद् शक्ति का वास हो गया था। धनुष तथा बाण उसके हाथ से सहज ही छूट गया। भगवान शिव की अनुकंपा से उसका हिंसक हृदय कारुणिक भावों से भर गया। वह अपने अतीत के कर्मों को याद करके पश्चाताप की ज्वाला में जलने लगा।

थोड़ी ही देर बाद वह मृग सपरिवार शिकारी के समक्ष उपस्थित हो गया, ताकि वह उनका शिकार कर सके, किंतु जंगली पशुओं की ऐसी सत्यता, सात्विकता एवं सामूहिक प्रेमभावना देखकर शिकारी को बड़ी ग्लानि हुई। उसके नेत्रों से आंसुओं की झड़ी लग गई। उस मृग परिवार को न मारकर शिकारी ने अपने कठोर हृदय को जीव हिंसा से हटा सदा के लिए कोमल एवं दयालु बना लिया। देवलोक से समस्त देव समाज भी इस घटना को देख रहे थे। घटना की परिणति होते ही देवी-देवताओं ने पुष्प-वर्षा की।

When you roll your future TV out of sight into a little box, thank LG Display.

Although some concept big-screen TV shown at past CES shows have been bendy, this is the first one that's flexible enough to spin up into tube form. LG's images depict it descending into a little box the size of a sound bar, but the company also talks about making the display portable.

The 2019 ICC World Cup is now less than 100 days away and on Friday (March 1), the Indian cricket team’s latest jersey for the event was unveiled.

Like the previous jersey, this one too is made up of recycled material. While the previous shirt was made from recycled plastic, polyester is the item that has been recycled to make this year’s edition.

"Similar to millions of Indians across the country, this team embodies a fearless spirit that we truly believe in and that’s what the world sees every time we step into the field," said Kohli at the launch.

"Over the years, our cricket has evolved – the way we approach games and embrace situations are different but what stands out is the confidence in our individual skills and our commitment to succeed as a team. This new team kit is a testament to our style of play, it is inspired by us and the new India," he added.

The World Cup starts on May 30 but the Indian team will only be in action from June 6, when they open their campaign against South Africa at Southampton.

“I can feel the change. It (new jersey) is so light on the body. It is breathable. I feel there is no restriction at all. It is very stretchable, more than the last jersey. I can’t wait to step on the field with this one.”

Beyond that also we had bilateral seriesand playing cricket in a way we have reached number one ranking in each andevery format. These are all motivational factor and whenever you look at themyou get motivated to give that extra 10-15 percent.”

Competitive Exam Preparation Tips and Tricks:

The following mentioned are few preparation tips for how to study for competitive exams. competitive exam preparation tips

1. Have a shorter study period:

Don’t keep your study period too long if you really want to excel in an exam.

It is really better to break your study sessions than going into a marathon. The thing with marathons is that they can help you cover a lot of stuff at one go but the downside is that it could really make you feel tired and frustrated.

And that is something you should avoid if you are aiming to ace a competitive exam. Study for two hours straight. Take a 15 to 20 minutes break and then get back again. Taking breaks is really important.

2. Sync the timetable of your school with the home study schedule:

Whenever you see your teacher covering a topic in class, make sure to cover it as soon as possible so that you can revise the topic from beforehand.

Also make sure to prepare the notes for revision. Whenever there is some test in your class, you should be prepared and that you can only do that if you memorize the questions, brush up diagrams and learn them as well.

3. Plan your study time:

Before you sit to study, make sure you have planned things accordingly. You should have a good idea of what you want to study and what you don’t when you are preparing for an exam.

Plan things ahead, know what you are going to cover on which day and how you will be revising before your exam.  It can really help you do well in an exam. People who plan from before are able to do much better than people who don’t.

4. Take small breaks:

Next you must really remember to take a few small breaks. Taking breaks is very important. If you study too much at one go, you may not remember a thing during exams. If you are studying all morning, take some hours off during the evening and play a game or something.

The whole point here is to study hard but not so hard that you can’t cope with it. Make things simpler for yourself by doing the right stuff!

5. Drink some coffee:

If you want to do well in an exam, you must remember to take care of the small things. For example, drinking enough tea/coffee.

Now we don’t mean you have to drink 4 cups of coffee a day. Make sure you drink one cup when you are trying to study and finish something important and you feel dizzy or tired instead.

When it comes to tea, there are several options instead such as herbal and green tea that can actually refresh your mind and help you do much better during exams.

6. Keep yourself far away from distractions:

This is one of the important tips for competitive exam or if you are getting ready for an exam. Remember that you should be far away from any sort of potential distraction when you are studying or getting ready for an exam.

If the place you are studying has a lot of noise, then you should go somewhere there is peace. Don’t allow yourself to be distracted by these petty things. They could really take up a whole lot of time.

7. Study during the early hours of the day:

Another thing you can do is study during the early hours of the day especially if the topics are difficult. The best time to study is in the morning itself.

So make sure you have got enough sleep at night so that you can get up early and cover whats important.

Sleeping is also very important, if you are trying to get ready for a competitive exam. To be honest, it will help you remember a lot of stuff in the long run.

8. Don’t study at odd times:

When we say that you should not study at odd times, we mean you shouldn’t be studying when you are sleepy. If you do that, it would actually become a huge waste of time.

For example, people usually feel tired and exhausted an hour or two after having lunch. Some people can’t study after a few hours post dinner. If that is one of you, then make sure you have a proper study schedule later.

If there is a lot to cover, then you can simply prepare the notes from beforehand, get a nap or recharge yourself or something with a refreshing drink and then come back to study. It will definitely work.

9. Read the text thoroughly:

Next what you should do is read the text properly and thoroughly. If needed, read every chapter thrice.

Make sure you have seen the headings, the introductory part properly, the sub heading etc. It will surely give you a good idea of what will be coming for your exam.

10. Remember the keywords:

Second, what you should do is remember the keywords. For that, you can highlight them and whenever you are studying, keep them in mind.

The keywords are very important and shall be needed when you are getting ready for an exam.

11. Save enough time for revision:

When you are getting ready for an exam, don’t forget to revise. It can really help you remember a lot of important stuff during exams.

Make sure to revise at least 2-3 times before you sit for an exam. All of this matters a lot. So keep that in mind.

12. Use colour for the books:

Contrary to the popular idea, books that are neat always don’t mean that you are an excellent student. It could look as if the books are unused.

You should colour the ideas in red, the dates can be kept in blue with the other facts in colours such as green or yellow.

With these colours, you will actually be able to revise much better. When you colour your books, you are able to remember things much faster. This is actually a very good strategy and one that can help you in the long run.

13. Get a proper diet:

Exam time is usually very important. So make sure you have a proper diet prepared from beforehand so that you can be ready for the exam in the best way possible.

A lot of you don’t pay attention to the diet thinking it is not something to worry about during exams. But if we are very honest with you, then it matters a lot.

Diet can really make or break things so you have to be very careful about that. By proper diet, we mean eating enough protein, fats and little bit of carbs. Drink enough water and don’t forget to add vegetables in each meal.

14. Get enough exercise:

Next, you should remember to give your body enough exercise. For those of you who do not know, exercising is really important and can actually take you a very long way. It is essential when you are getting ready for an exam.

A month before the paper, you should make sure to get at least 45 minutes of exercise 4-5  times a week. It will keep your body stress free and help you get ready for exams fast and easy. Those of who have tried this have been amazed at the benefits and we promise, so will you.

15. Don’t be very social:

Also remember to be as less social as you can. Don’t attend too many parties, have too many drinks with your friends or do things that you shouldn’t be doing. Spend that time on studying.

Remember every minute counts when you are getting ready for an exam because you really don’t know what you might get.

By that we don’t mean you should completely lock yourself up. But what we mean instead is ,be a little selfish and focus on yourself. Exams are important after all and you need to be more into your books.

16. Don’t study one tough subject after the other:

One of the worst things you could do while preparing for an exam is studying one tough subject after the other. If you have been doing this for a while, then we can promise you will forget a lot of stuff during the exam.

Do yourself a favour and don’t study one tough subject with no gaps in between. If you are studying English, Physics and Mathematics, then make sure to start off with Math then move on to English and finally study Physics.

17. Switch off your phone:

Another important thing you must do is switch off your phone when you are studying. Also keep yourself far away from social media around this time.

Studying is important and so avoid checking any mails, seeing whats happening on Facebook or Twitter when you are studying. All of them can really waste your time and stop you from studying and since you are expected to study a lot during competitive exams, please ensure you are not into social media until your exams are over.

18. Study hard:

After giving you all these important points, we would like to remind you to study hard. Yes! Keep all of these points in mind and make sure you are studying enough.

Don’t distract yourself and pay complete attention to the study material. Working hard is extremely important if you are really planning on doing well in a particular exam.

So make sure you are spending at least 6 to 7 hours on studying. And when you do, study solid! Don’t waste a minute of your time.

19. Don’t get stressed out:

Finally, we would suggest you not to stress so much when it comes to getting ready for an exam. We realize how crucial it is for you to ace an exam. But if you want to do well, don’t worry so much about it.

Just study hard and do your best and we promise good results will show. And most importantly, make sure to keep yourself healthy and fit during such times.
