shri ram jay ram jay jay ram - ek tarak mantra gopal raju jivan ki naiya ko santulan men rakhne ke lie sarvashreshth upay ye sat shabdon vala tarak mantra hai - 'shri ram, jay ram, jay jay ram.' sadharan se dikhne vale is mantra men jo shakti chipi hui hai, vah charcha ka nahin, anubhav ka vishay hai. sab prakar ke vidhi-vidhan se mukt hona iski sabse bari visheshta hai. ise koi bhi, kahin bhi, kabhi bhi kar sakta hai. fal barabar milta hai. hamara jivan saubhagya aur durbhagya ki anubhutiyon se bhara hua hai. kabhi hamen saubhagya ka anubhav hota hai aur kabhi durbhagya ka. saubhagya hamen nidgichat rup se achcha lagta hai parantu durbhagya se dukhi hona kisi ko achcha nahin lagta. sab saubhagya ki hi apeksha rakhte hain. durbhagya dur karne ke lie vyakti yathadgakti purusharth karta hai. karm karne ke dhang pratyek vyakti ke alg-alag ho sakte hain.
kuch log prabhu ka sahara lete hain - uski puja-archana kar uski kripa pane ke lie prayatnadgail rahte hain. kuch log madak dravyon ka prayog karne lagte hain.
kuch log apne-apne kriya-kalapon se mukti pa jate hain aur anya duahkhamay jivan vyatit karte hue mansik santras ke dgiakar ho jate hain. yadi dekha jae to yah sab multah is bat par adhik nirbhar karta hai ki ham use anubhav karte hain athva nahin. durbhagya ki matra aur durbhagya hone ki samyavdhi is bat par nirbhar karti hai ki dahukh ka anubhav ham kitni gahnta se athva gahrai se karte hain. durbhagya ek vyakti ke lie pahar ke saman hota hai. parantu kisi anya ke lie vahi ek sadharan si bat bhi ho sakti hai. dahukh athva durbhagya vastav men saubhagya ke kam ho jane ka nam hai.
isi prakar duahkh ka kam ho jana sukh athva saubhagya ka pratik hai. donon ka jivan men anubhav avadgayak rup se hota rahta hai. yah nav ke do chappuon ke saman hai. yadi ek ka bhi santulan bigra to samjhie ki jivan ki nav dagmga jaegi. hamara sabse bara durbhagya aj yahi hai ki ham ram nam ka sahara nahin le rahe hain. hamne jitna bhi adhik ram nam ko khoya hai, hamare jivan men utni hi vishmta barhi hai, utna hi adhik santras hamen mila hai. ek sarthak nam ke rup men hamare rishi-muniyon ne ram nam ko pahchana hai. unhonne is pujyaniya nam ki parakh ki aur namon ke age lagane ka chalan praranbh kiya. pratyek hindu parivar men dekha ja sakta hai ki bachche ke janm men ram ke nam ka sohar hota hai. vaivahik adi suavsron par ram ke git gaye jate hain. yaho tak ki jiv ke antim samay men bhi ram ke nam ka ghosh kiya jata hai.
ram sab men hain. ram men hi dgiav aur dgiav men hi ram vidyaman hain. ram nam ko dgiav ka mahamantra mana gaya hai. ram sarvamay v sarvamukt hain. ram sabki chetna ka sajiv nam hain. kukhyat daku ratnakar ram nam ke vadgaibhut hokar prabhavit hua. anttah maharshi valmiki nam se vikhyat hua. ram nam ki chaitanya dhara se samay ki pratyek avadgayakatae svayan hi puri ho jati hain. yah nam sarvasamarth hai. jo chetan ko jar karai, jarai karai chaitanya. as samarth raghunaykhin, bhajat jiv te dhanya॥ pratyek ram bhakt ke lie ram uske hriday men vas kar sukh saubhagya aur santvana dene vale hain. tulsidas ji ne ramchritmanas men likh diya hai ki prabhu ke jitne bhi nam prachlit hain, un sab men sarvadhik shri fal dene vala nam ram ka hi hai. isse ek badhi ak, pashu-pakshi adi tak tar jate hain.
bhadrachalam ke bhakt ramdas, maharashtra ke samarth guru ramdas, kanhagarh ke sant ramdas, ramkrishn parmhans, gandhi ji adi hanuman ji ki hi parampara par chale. sab sant jan shri ram ko sadaiv apne hriday men rakhakar usi ki prerna se mahan aur saubhagyashali bane. dakshin bharat ke sant tyagraj ne varshon ram nam ka jap kiya. anttah unhen ram ka sakshatkar hua. sara jivan krishn ke prem men lin mira bai ne anttah yahi gaya - 'payo ji mainne ram ratan dhan payo', unhonne krishn ratan dhan kyon nahin kaha? shri ram ka varnan yahan islie kiya ja raha hai kyonki anya devi-devtaon ki tulna men vah sabko sarlta se prapt ho jate hain. yah nam sabse saral, surakshit tatha nidgichat rup se lakshya ki prapti karvane vala hai. mantra jap ke lie ayu, sthan, paristhiti, kal, jat-pat adi kisi bhi bahri adambar ka bandhan nahin hai. kisi kshan, kisi bhi sthan par ise jap sakte hain.
prayah jigyasu pradgan karte hain ki kya mahilaen jab poch din apvitra hon, tab mantra jap n karen? ram nam jap men aisa koi bandhan nahin hai. vaise bhi yah manyata hai ki striyo puja se vanchit kyon rahen. prabhu ke lie sab saman hain. jab man sahaj rup men lage, tab hi mantra jap kar len. tarak mantra 'shri' se praranbh hota hai. 'shri' ko sita athva shakti ka pratik mana gaya hai. ram shabd 'ra' arthat rakar aur 'ma' makar se mil kar bana hai. 'ra' agni svarup hai. yah hamare dushkarmon ka dah karta hai. 'ma' jal tatva ka dyotak hai. jal atma ki jivatma par vijay ka karak hai. is prakar pure tarak mantra - 'shri ram, jay ram, jay jay ram' ka sar niklta hai - shakti se parmatma par vijay. 'kka' bij mantra ko hindu dharm men parmatma ka pratik mana gaya hai. islie mantra se purva 'kka' shri ram, jay ram, jay jay ram' rup men japa jata hai. yog shastra men dekha jae to 'ra' varn ko saur urja ka karak mana gaya hai.
yah hamari rirh-rajju ke dayin or sthit pingla nari men sthit hai. yahan se yah sharir men paurush urja ka sanchar karta hai. 'ma' varn ko chandra urja karak arthat stri ling mana gaya hai. yah rirh-rajju ke banyin or sthit ira nari men pravahit hota hai. isilie kaha gaya hai ki shvas aur nidgavas men nirantar rakar 'ra' aur makar 'ma' ka uchcharan karte rahne se donon nariyon men pravahit urja men samanjasya bana rahta hai. adhyatm men yah mana gaya hai ki jab vyakti 'ra' shabd ka uchcharan karta hai to iske sath-sath uske antrik pap bahar fenk diye jate hain. isse antahkaran nishpap ho jata hai. abhyas men bhi 'ra' ko is prakar uchcharit karna chahie jisse pure ka pura svas bahar nikal jae. is samay apko 'tandene' se riktata anubhav hone lagegi. is sthiti men pet bilkul pichak jata hai.
ek bar punah spasht kar len ki 'ra' ka keval uchcharan matra hi nahin karna hai, ise lanba khichna hai. ra....hn.... hn....hn. ab 'ma' ka uchcharan karen. 'ma' shabd bolte hi donon honth svatah ek tale ki manind band ho jate hain aur is prakar bahya vikar yadi punah antahkaran men pravedga karen to band honth unhen rok dete hain. ram nam athva mantra ratte rahne se man-mastishk ko pavitrata prapt hoti hai aur vyakti apne pavitra man men parabrahma-paramedgavar ke astitva ka anubhav karne lagta hai. ye kitni saral vidhi hai. shanti pane ka yah kitna saral upakram hai. fir bhi n jane kyon vyakti idhr-udhar bhatkta firta hai? vyakti ke sharir men 72,000 nari mani gayi hain. inmen se 108 nariyon ka astitva hriday men mana gaya hai. islie mantra jap sankhya 108 mani gayi hai. arthat ek mala. 108 jap sankhya ke anek mahatva hain.
yaho keval itna samjhna hai ki sankhya se jap karna mahatvapurn hai. suar, tal tatha nad aur pranayam se jap ko aur bhi adhik shaktidgaali banaya jata hai. mantra jap men tin padon ki pradhanta hai. pahle ata hai maukhik jap. jaise hi hamara man mantra ke sar ko samjhne lagta hai ham jap ki dvitiya sthiti arthat upandgau men pahuech jate hain. is sthiti men mantra ki fusfusahat bhi nahin suni ja sakti. tritiya sthiti men mantra jap keval mansik rah jata hai. yaho mantrochchar keval mansik rup se chalta hai. ismen drishti bhi khuli rahti hai aur mansik sanlagnata ke sath-sath vyakti apne dainik karmon men bhi lin rahta hai. yah avastha mantra ke ek karor jap kar lene matra se a jati hai. yahin se shambhavi mudra siddh ho jati hai aur sadhak ki parmhans ki avastha pahunch jati hai. ek lakh tarak mantra jap lene se vyakti men anokhi anubhuti hone lagti hai.
yaho se vyakti ke lie durbhagya nam ki kisi bhi vastu ka astitva hi nahin rah jata. yadi aisa vyakti mantra jap ke bad kisi bimar vyakti ki bhrikuti men sumeru chua de, to use adgaatit labh hone lagega. parantu is prakar ke prayog ke bad mala ko ganga jal se shuddh karke fir prayog karna chahie. yahan mala ke bare men bhi yah spashtikaran jaruri hai kyonki agyantavadga kuch log iska uchit prayog nahin kar pate. mantra jap mala men 108 manke hote hain. mala karyanusar tulsi, vaijayanti, rudraksh, kamal gatte, sfatik, putrajiva, akik, ratnadi kisi ki bhi ho sakti hai. alg-alag karya siddhiyon ke anusar hi in malaon ka chayan hota hai. tarak mantra ke lie sarvashreshth mala tulsi ki mani jati hai. mala ke 108 manke hamare hriday men sthit 108 nariyon ke pratik svarup hain. mala ka 109 vo manka sumeru kahlata hai.
vyakti ko ek bar men 108 jap pure karne chahie. iske bad sumeru se mala palatakar punah jap arambh karna chahie. kisi bhi sthiti men mala ka sumeru langhna nahin chahie. mala ko anguthe aur anamika se dabakar rakhna chahie aur madhyama uegli se ek mantra japakar ek dana hatheli ke andar khinch lena chahie. tarjani uegli se mala ka chuna varjit mana gaya hai. mala ke dane kabhi-kabhi 54 bhi hote hain. aise men mala ferakar sumeru se punah lautakar ek bar fir ek mala arthat 54 jap pure kar lena chahie. jinhen adhik lagan hai ve 1008 nam jap ek baithak men karen. mansik rup se pavitra hone ke bad kisi bhi saral mudra men baithen jisse ki vaksh, gardan aur sir ek sidhi rekha men rahe. mantra jap pure karne ke bad ant men mala ka sumeru mathe se chuakar mala ko kisi pavitra sthan men rakh dena chahie. mantra jap men kar-mala ka prayog bhi kiya jata hai.
jinke pas koi mala nahin hai vah kar-mala se vidhi purvak jap karen. kar-mala se mantra jap karne se bhi mala ke barabar jap ka fal milta hai. isse shreshth jap yah mana gaya hai ki shvas-nidgavas men nirantar ram nam niklta rahe. jaho tak sambhav ho har ghari, har kshan ram ka nam antarman men rata jata rahe jisse ki rom-rom men ram nam sama jae. thik aise hi jaise ki ''maruti ke rom rom men basa ram nam hai.'' jap ke atirikt ram mantra ko likhakar bhi atmadgauddhi ki ja sakti hai. ek lakh mantra ek nidgichat avdhi men likhakar yadi pure kar lie jaen to antarman ujjaval banta hai. vyakti yadi char karor mantra matra ram nam likhakar athva japakar purnakar len to uske gyan-chakshu khul jate hain. vah nidgichat hi bhavsagar ko par kar jata hai. parantu yah karya saral nahin hai kyonki man bahut chanchal hai ek jagah sthir hi nahin hota.
yadi pratyek sos men ram nam liya jaye to 4 karor ki sankhya lagabhag 5 varsh men puri ki ja sakti hai. yah tabhi sanbhav hai jab pratyek sos men anya koi vichar n lae. svayan anuman karen ki yah kitna kathin hai. isilie punyafal ek-do janmon men nahin mil pata. iske lie janma-janmantar ka samay chahie. jitni kam ayu se nam ka jap prarambh kar diya jae utna hi achcha hai kyonki ek avastha ke bad abhyas ki kami ke karan sharir bhi karya karne se anakani karne lagta hai. nam jap ka lekha-jokha rakhne ke lie anek sthanon men niahsvarth bhav se ram nam ke baink bhi chal rahe hain. kuch log to ram nam likhne ki lekhan pustika niahdgaulk vitrit kar rahe hain. ap bhi aj se mantra jap ka sahara lekar durbhagya ko dur bhagaen aur ramamay ho jaen - shri ram, jay ram, jay jay ram .
