વાળીનાાથ નો ઇતિહાસ

 👉વાળીનાાથ નો ઇતિહાસ 👈


પાંચ મિનીટ કાઢી ને વાંચી લેજો


અતિ પ્રાચીન દ્વાપર યુગ નુ ભગવાન શ્રી કૃષ્ણ દ્વારા સ્થાપિત વાળીનાથ મંદિર નો અનોખો ભવ્ય ઈતિહાસ છે..

દર્ભ ના જંગલ (હાલ નો વાળીનાથ અને કુવારીકા પવિત્ર રુપેણ‌ નદી નો વિસ્તાર) માં ભગવાન શ્રી કૃષ્ણ સંઘ સાથે રોકાયા અને ગોવાળો સાથે રાસલીલા કરી હતી...

આ રાસલીલા માં કોઈ બહારી પુરુષ નો પ્રવેશ નિષેધ હતો..

ભગવાન શ્રી શીવજી ને આ રાસલીલા માં ભાગ લેવા ની ઈચ્છા થઈ માટે તેઓ ગોપી ના સ્વરુપ માં આવી રાસલીલા માં ભાગ લીધો ...આ દરમિયાન શ્રી કૃષ્ણ એ ઓળખી ગયા અને શિવજી ને કહ્યું આપ તો દેવો ના દેવ મહાદેવ છો અને અમારા સૌના આરાધ્ય દેવ છો તમારી હાજરી તો અમારા સૌ નું સૌભાગ્ય છે એટલે તમારા માટે કોઈ પ્રવેશ નિષેધ નથી આપ શ્રી અમને તમારા સાચા રુપ માં દર્શન આપો .. શિવજી ગોપી માંથી સત્ય શીવજી રુપ માં આવે છે પણ વાળી રહી જાય છે માટે તેઓ વાળીનાથ કહેવાયા..અને માટે તેમની શીવલીંગ નહીં પણ વાળી ધારણ કરેલ મુર્તી પુજાય છે જે શ્રી કૃષ્ણ દ્વારા સ્થાપિત કરાઈ હતી જ્યાં શિવજી સાક્ષાત પ્રસન્ન થયા હતા....

કદાચ આ વિશ્વ નુ એક જ પ્રાચીન શિવ મંદિર હશે કે જ્યાં શિવલિંગ નહીં પણ શિવ ની મુર્તી પુજાય છે...

સમય ની અનેક સદિઓ વીતી ગઈ અને શ્રી કૃષ્ણ દ્વારા સ્થાપિત વાળીનાથ મહાદેવ ના મંદિર ઉપર ત્રણ ત્રણ નદીઓ ના થર જામી ગયા પણ જ્યાં સત્ય શક્તિ અને દિવ્યતા છે એ જાગ્રત થયા વગર રહેતી નથી...

આજ થી નવ સદિ પહેલા રુપેણ નદી કાંઠે તરભોવન મોયડાવ નામનો રબારી ગોપાલક ગાયો ચરાવતો હતો તેના સ્વપ્ન માં દિવ્ય શક્તિ એ ચેતના પુરી સમગ્ર મંદિર અને તેના સ્થાન ની જાણ કરી અને એ પણ કહ્યું કે‌ ત્યાં વ્રુક્ષ નીચે બેઠેલા સંત પુરુષ ને આ જાણ કર...એ સંત પુરુષ એટલે આપણી વાળીનાથ ગાદી ના પ્રથમ ગાદીપતિ મહંત શ્રી વીરમગીરી બાપુ ....!!! તરભોવન રબારી એ મહંત ને જાણ કરી અને ખોદકામ કરાવ્યું તો ત્યાં સાક્ષાત પ્રાચીન મંદિર ના નિશાન અને મુર્તી નીકળી .. તરભોવન મોયડાવ રબારી એ વીરમગીરી બાપુ ને ગુરુ તેમજ મંદિર ને ગુરુગાદી તરીકે સ્થાપિત કરી મહંત ની સેવા ચાલુ કરી તેમજ ત્યાં ગામ બાંધી વસવાટ કર્યો એ ગામ એટલે તરભ જે તરભોવન રબારી એ 900 વર્ષ પહેલાં વસાવ્યું.... રબારી ઓ ની ગુરુગાદી તરીકે સ્થાપિત પવિત્ર વાળીનાથ ગાદિ ના ગાદિપતિ મહંતો ગીરનાર ની યાત્રા એ જતા એ દરમિયાન સૌરાષ્ટ્ર ના કાઠિ ઓ માં મહેમાનગતિ માણતા આને ત્યાં 

ધર્મઉપદેશ આપતા આથી વરસો પુર્વે સૌરાષ્ટ્ર નો કાઠી સમાજ પણ વાળિનાથ મંદિર ઉપર રબારી સમાજ જેટલી જ આસ્થા ધરાવતો હતો...એક કાઠિ એ ગાદિપતિ ને ઈન્દ્ર ને પણ ઈર્ષા આવે એવી "રેમી ઘોડી" ભેટ ધરી હતી જે ઘોડી નો વંશ પણ આજે હયાત છે...તો એક મકવાણા સાખ ના રબારી એ ગાદીપતિ ને આંધળી ગાય "લાડચી" ભેટ આપી હતી જેનો વંશવેલો પણ આજે હયાત છે....

સમયાંતરે શ્રીકૃષ્ણ દ્વારા સ્થાપિત વાળીનાથ મંદિર માં ફેરફાર થતો રહ્યો ... ખોદકામ કર્યા બાદ પણ દરેક ગાદીપતિ મહંત શ્રી એ પોતાના સમય દરમિયાન યથાશક્તિ મુજબ મંદિર માં જીણોદવાર અને નવો આકાર‌ આપ્યો...

આજે પણ ૪૦ કરોડ ના ખર્ચે પુર્વ ગાદીપતિ બળદેવબાપુ  એ ભવ્ય નવીન વાળીનાથ મંદિર ના નિર્માણ ને આરંભ કરાવ્યું હતું જે હવે વર્તમાન ગાદિપતિ શ્રી જયરામ બાપુ પુર્ણ કરાવશે....

ભલે વાળીનાથ રબારી સમાજ ની ગુરુગાદી તરીકે સ્થાપિત હોય પણ પ્રાચીન કાળ થી મંદિર દરેક સમાજ માટે શ્રદ્ધા નું કેન્દ્ર છે અને સામાજિક સમરસતા નુ ઉત્તમ ઉદાહરણ છે.. દરેક ગાદીપતિ પણ દરેક સમાજ માં પોતાના સત્કર્મ ની સુવાસ ફેલાવતા આવ્યા છે....આ પરીસર માં અનેક સંત સતિઓ એ જીવંત સમાધિ લીધી છે ..માત્ર સનાતન ધર્મ જ નહીં પણ મુસ્લિમ પણ પુર્વ માં વાળીનાથ માં અપાર શ્રદ્ધા રાખતા મંદિર માં ૧૨ વર્ષ ની મુસ્લિમ બાઈ નાથીબાઈ એ જીવંત સમાધિ લીધી હતી જે તેનો પુરાવો છે.

સદિઓ પુર્વે લખાયેલા કાનહડદે પ્રબંધ નામના પદ્મનાથ ના પ્રાચીન ગ્રંથ  મા રુપેણ કાંઠા ના દર્ભ ના જંગલ ના વાળીનાથ મહાદેવ ના મંદિર નો ઉલ્લેખ છે...

આજે સર્વજ્ઞાતિ નુ આસ્થા કેન્દ્ર એવા વાળીનાથ મહાદેવ ના  મંદિર ની પ્રાચીનતા અને ધાર્મિક મહત્વ દરૈક શાસકો અને આઝાદી પછી પણ દરેક મુખ્યમંત્રી જાળવતા આવ્યા છે..

ઉતર ગુજરાત માં એકમાત્ર વર્ષો થી ચાલતું કોઈ મોટું અન્નક્ષેત્ર હોય તો તે વાળીનાથ છે..આ ઉપરાંત વાળીનાથ ભારતવર્ષ ના ૧૩ પવિત્ર દશનામી અખાડા માં સ્થાન પામેલું છે આ તેર અખાડા કુંભ ના મેળા માં શાહી સ્નાન કરે છે..અને તેમનુ શાહી સન્માન થાય છે...

ચાલો જાણીએ પવિત્ર વાળીનાથ ગાદી ના દરેક ગાદીપતિ ને જેમને રબારી સમાજ ભગવાન ના દરજ્જે માને છે અને દરેક ગાદિપતિ પણ રબારી સમાજ ના ઉત્થાન અને વિકાસ માટે ખુબ જ ભગીરથ કાર્ય કરતા આવ્યા છે ...

Complex Women

Women Are Such Complex Creatures:

If you kiss her, you are not a gentleman,
If you don't you are not a man.

If you praise her, she thinks you are lying,
If you don't, you are good for nothing.

If you agree to all her likes, you are a wimp,
If you don't you are not understanding.

If you visit her often, you are boring,
If you don't she accuses you of double crossing.

If you are well dressed, she says you are a playboy,
If you don't, she says you are a dull guy.

If you are a minute late, she complains it's hard to wait,
If she is late, she says it is a girls way.

If you kiss her once in a while, she professes you are cold,
If you kiss her often, she yells you are taking advantage.

If you talk, she wants you to listen,
If you listen, she wants you to talk.

IN SHORT...
So simple, yet so complex,
So weak, yet so powerful,
So confusing, yet so desirable,
So damming, yet so wonderful... WOMEN

What is 'Governance System

What is 'Governance System’?

As a daily habit Pintu was reading newspaper.

Suddenly he asked his father, “Dad! What does it mean by 'Governance System?"

“It’s like...” father said while thinking, “See! I earn and bring money to home, mean's I am a 'Money Holder'. Your mother decides where and how to spend that money and that means she is 'Government'. That maid in our home is doing all the household works, so she will be 'Labour Class'.

You are a 'Common man' or 'Public'. Your kid brother is 'Future' or the 'Next Generation', understand?”

That day Pintu slept with all those thoughts. In the middle of the night he woke-up because his kid brother was crying. He wetted the matrices so he was crying. Pintu went to woke-up his mother. She was in deep sleep so Pintu went to the Maiden's room to wake her up. But there his father was sleeping with the maid. So he came back with frustration.

Next morning father asked Pintu, “Hey Pintu Darling! You understood the
'Governance System'? ".

Pintu replied, “Yeah Dad, I understood! When money Holder is exploiting Labour Class, our Government is sleeping. Future of our nation is crying for not getting their basic needs fulfilled and in all this Common Man is suffering!"

Jai Maharastra -- Controversy

This is a wonderful mail circulating in favour of RAJ Thackerey have a look and tell these foolish minds to stop dividing INDIA
We all should support Raj Thackeray and take his initiative ahead by doing more...
1. We should teach our kids that if he is second in class, don't study harder.. just beat up the student coming first and throw him out of the school.
2. Parliament should have only Delhiites as it is located in Delhi.
3. Prime-minister, president and all other leaders should only be from Delhi.
4. No Hindi movie should be made in Bombay. Only Marathi.
5. At every state border, buses, trains, flights should be stopped and staff changed to local men
6. All Maharashtrians working abroad or in other states should be sent back as they are SNATCHING employment from Locals
7. Lord Shiv, Ganesha and Parvati should not be worshiped in our state as they belong to north (Himalayas)
8. Visits to Taj Mahal should be restricted to people from UP only
9. Relief for farmers in Maharashtra should not come from centre because that is the money collected as Tax from whole of India, so why should it be given to someone in Maharashtra?
10. Let's support kashmiri Militants because they are right to killing and injuring innocent people for benifit of there state and community......
11. Let's throw all MNCs out of Maharashtra, why should they earn from us? We will open our own Maharashtra Microsoft, MH Pepsi and MH Marutis of the world .

14. We should not allow any industry to be setup in Maharashtra because all machinery comes from outside.
15. We should STOP using local trains... Trains are not manufactured by Marathi manoos and Railway Minister is a Bihari.
16. Ensure that all our children are born, grow, live and die without ever stepping out of Maharashtra, then they will become true Marathi's…
This mail should somehow reach Raj Thackrey so forward it to as many ppl as possible.
This mail needs to be read by all INDIANS.
So please help in this cause.Keep Forwarding.

Why is it necessary for ordinary Muslims to speak up?

Eid Mubarak!


Why is it necessary for ordinary Muslims to speak up?


Every Muslim is as much a citizen of India as anyone else and definitely does not have to defend either the Muslim community in India or Islam.


Nevertheless, it is important to make people of other communities realize that Muslims too are angry a) about terrorists spoiling the image of Islam, and b) as well as maybe somehow conveying that there is some Muslim sympathy (not support) for their attacks.


So when an ordinary Muslim citizen does not speak up:


1. It increases the perception gap and emotional distance between them and other communities


2. It does not strengthen the Government's resolve to take suitable action against terrorist networks, both internally and internationally


3. It does not convey clearly and unequivocally to Muslims in other countries that Muslims in India are proud of being Indians, of living in India and of India itself, as one of the most secular countries in the world, not withstanding lots of problems, including inter-community problems.


There is clearly a lack of leadership today in India, and I feel that it is the ordinary Muslim who can spur the creation of a new leadership for the country by uniting the country even more strongly, by expressing this view and by showing that we are all one and the same Indian.


Furthermore, I would be interested in also hearing what the ordinary Pakistani has to say.


I am absolutely not interested in hearing the opinions of religious or political or high-profile social leaders, because their opinions are already available. I am also not interested in any quote from the Quran, because it is very clear in my mind that the Quran cannot advocate or support such activity.


For any issue where a group carries out a (negative) action, either by claiming they have done it on behalf of their religion, or it appears that they have done it on behalf of their religion (including Hindus, Christians, etc.), I think it is extremely important for ordinary citizens of that religion to speak out strongly about their own true opinions.

*** History Mystery ***

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln’s secretary was named Kennedy.

Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.

Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.

Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

**Lincoln** was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'

Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.

Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot; he was in Monroe, Maryland

A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe. **
