📖 Solah Somvar Vrat Ki Katha (The Story)
Ek baar bhagwan Shiv aur Mata Parvati dharti par ghoomte hue Amravati nagari me aaye. Wahan ek behad sundar Shiv mandir tha, jahan dono ruk gaye. Ek din Mata Parvati ne Shiv ji se kaha, “Prabhu, aaiye aaj chausar (game) khelte hain.” Khel shuru hone ke samay hi mandir ka pujari wahan aaya. Mata Parvati ne pujari se pucha, “Pujari ji, batayein is khel me kiski jeet hogi?”
Pujari Shiv ji ka bada bhakt tha, isliye usne bina soche keh diya, “Mahadev hi jeetenge.” Lekin jab khel khatam hua toh Mata Parvati jeet gayin. Gusse me aakar Parvati ji ne pujari ko jhooth bolne ke jurm me “Kushthi” (leprosy) hone ka shaap de diya. Pujari ka sharir kharab ho gaya.
Kuch samay baad mandir me dev-lok se apsarayein aayin. Pujari ki halat dekhkar unhone pucha ki kya hua? Pujari ne poori baat batayi. Apsarayon ne kaha, “Aap nirash mat hoiye. Aap sabhi dukhon se mukti ke liye 16 Somvar ka vrat kijiye.” Pujari ne pucha, “Iski vidhi kya hai?”
Apsarayon ne batayi, “Somvar ko snan karke, saaf kapde pehnein. Aadha ser gehu ke aate ka prasad (churma) banayein aur use teen hisson me baantein. Sham ke samay Shiv ji ki puja karke prasad chadhayein. Is tarah 16 Somvar tak vrat karein aur 17th Somvar ko vrat ka udyapan karein.”
Pujari ne bilkul waisa hi kiya. Vrat ke prabhav se wo jald hi bilkul theek aur sundar ho gaya. Jab Shiv-Parvati dobara mandir aaye toh unhone pujari ko theek dekhkar hairani se pucha. Pujari ne vrat ki mahima batayi. Mata Parvati ne bhi apne ruthe bete Kartikeya ko manane ke liye ye vrat kiya aur unka rishta theek ho gaya. Is vrat ki mahima se har bigda kaam ban jata hai.
