Dev Diwali Varanasi 2025

 

देव दिवाली भगवान शिव की नगरी काशी में मनाई जाती है। यह उत्सव हर साल दिवाली के 15 दिनों के बाद कार्तिक पूर्णिमा के दिन मनाया जाता है। इस साल 15 नवंबर को देव दिवाली मनाई जाएगी। धार्मिक मान्यता है कि इस दिन सभी देवता काशी में खुशियां मनाने आते हैं। इसलिए पूरी काशी को रौशनी से सजाया जाता है। बनारस के घाटों को दीपों से जगमगाया जाता है। सवाल ये है कि आखिर काशी में ही देव दिवाली क्यों मनाई जाती है। इसके पीछ की वजह क्या है।

पौराणिक मान्यता के अनुसार कार्तिक पूर्णिमा के कुछ दिन पहले देवउठनी एकादशी पर भगवान विष्णु 4 महीने की निद्रा से जागते हैं। जिसकी खुशी में सभी देवता स्वर्ग से उतरकर बनारस के घाटों पर दीपों का उत्सव मनाते हैं।
ऐसी एक अन्य मान्यता है कि दीपावली पर माता लक्ष्मी अपने प्रभु भगवान विष्णु से पहले जाग जाती हैं, इसलिए दीपावली के 15वें दिन कार्तिक पूर्णिमा के दिन देवताओं की दीपावली मनाई जाती है।

दूसरी मान्यता के अनुसार तीनों लोकों में त्रिपुरासुर राक्षस का आंतक था। तब भगवान शिव ने कार्तिक पूर्णिमा के दिन काशी में पहुंच कर त्रिपुरासुर राक्षस का वध कर सभी को उसके अत्याचारों से मुक्ति दिलाई थी। इससे प्रसन्न होकर सभी देवताओं ने स्वर्ग लोक में दीप जलाकर दीपोत्सव मनाया था।
देव दिवाली का आयोजन सबसे पहले बनारस के पंचगंगा घाट पर 1915 में हजारों की संख्या में दिये जलाकर की गई थी। तभी के बनारस में भव्य तरीके से घाटों पर दीये सजाए जाते हैं।

बनारस का यह उत्सव करीब तीन दशक पहले कुछ उत्साही लोगों के प्रयासों से शुरू हुआ। नारायण गुरु नाम के एक सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता ने युवाओं की टोली बनाकर कुछ घाटों से इसकी शुरूआत की थी, इसके बाद धीरे-धीरे इस पर्व की लोकप्रियता बढने लगी।

देव दीपावली का महत्व (Dev Deepawali Ka Mahatva)

कार्तिक मास की पूर्णिमा तिथि पर देव दीपावली का त्योहार मनाया जाता है। दिवाली के दिन जिस प्रकार से पृथ्वीं लोक पर मनुष्य दिवाली मनाते हैं। उसी तरह से देवता भी दीप जलाकर दीपावली का पर्व मनाते हैं। दिवाली के 15 दिन बाद देव दीपावली का पर्व मनाया जाता है। माना जाता है कि इस दिन सभी देव गंगा नदी के घाट पर आकर दीप प्रज्वलित करते हैं। पुराणों के अनुसार इसी दिन भगवान शिव ने त्रिपरासुर नामक राक्षस का वध किया था।

त्रिपुरासुर ने ब्रह्मा जी की घोर तपस्या की थी और उनसे वरदान प्राप्त करके तीनों लोकों पर अपना आधिपत्य स्थापित करना चाहता था। इस समस्या के समाधान के सभी देवता भगवान शिव के पास गए। जिसके बाद भगवान शिव ने देवताओं की विनती को स्वीकार करते हुए त्रिपुरासुर का वध कर दिया।देव दीपावली कार्तिक मास की पूर्णिमा तिथि को पड़ती है। कार्तिक मास वैसे भी त्योहारों और व्रत के लिए जाना जाता है।इसी कारण इस महीने में पूजा पाठ, जप, तप, साधना आदि करना बहुत शुभ माना जाता है।

देव दीपावली की कथा (Dev Deepawali Story)

पौराणिक कथा के अनुसार त्रिपुर नामक राक्षस ने एक एक लाख वर्ष तक तीर्थराज प्रयाग में कठोर तप किया था। उसकी तपस्या से तीनों लोकों हिलने लगे थे। त्रिपुर की तपस्या देखकर सभी देवता गण भयभीत हो गए और उन्होंने त्रिपुर की तपस्या भंग करने का निश्चय किया। इसके लिए उन्होंने अप्सराओं को त्रिपुर के पास उसकी तपस्या भंग करने के लिए भेजा लेकिन वह अप्सराएं त्रिपुर की तपस्या भंग नही कर सकी।

अंत में ब्रह्मा जी को त्रिपुर की तपस्या के आगे विवश होकर उसे वर देने के लिए आना ही पड़ा। ब्रह्मा जी ने त्रिपुर के पास आकर उसे वर मांगने के लिए कहा।त्रिपुर ने ब्रह्मा जी किसी मनुष्य या देवता के हाथों न मारे जाने का वरदान मांगा। इसके बाद त्रिपुर ने स्वर्गलोक पर आक्रमण कर दिया। सभी देवताओं ने एक योजना बनाकर त्रिपुर को भगवान शिव के साथ युद्ध करने में व्यस्त कर दिया। जिसके बाद भगवान शिव और त्रिपुर के बीच में भयंकर युद्ध हुआ।

भगवान शिव ने ब्रह्माजी और विष्णुजी की सहायता प्राप्त करके त्रिपुर का अंत कर दिया। इसी कारण से देवता अपनी खुशी को जाहिर करने के लिए दीपावली का त्योहार मनाते हैं जिसे देव दीपावली के नाम से जाना जाता है।

Dev Deepawali in Varanasi: A Celestial Manifestation in the City of Light

Dev Deepawali or Dev Deepawali in Varanasi is celebrated on Kartik Poornima, the full moon of the Hindu month of Kartik, fifteen days after Diwali. Dev Deepawali is not standalone, in itself. It is celebrated on the last day of Ganga Mahotsav, which begins on Prabodhini Ekadashi (11th day of the Lunar month of Kartik) and ends in Dev Deepawali which will fall on November 29 this year. It is interesting to note that Dev Deepawali in Varanasi also coincides with Guru Nanak Jayanti and Jain Light Festival.

Dev Deepawali Date 2020

Not to be confused with Deepawali (or Diwali), Dev Deepawali or Dev Diwali in Varanasi is a festival celebrated every year on the occasion of Kartik Poornima. This happens to be 15 days after Diwali. This year, Dev Deepawali in Varanasi will be on November 29, 2020 (Sunday).

For most travellers and spiritual seekers alike, Varanasi is a dream destination. People from all over the world come and stay in this city for days, seeking spiritual peace, meditating on the banks of the Holy River Ganga and paying several visits to the temples in what is popularly known as the city of temples. Dev Deepawali in Varanasi or Dev Diwali is that time of the year when Varanasi truly seems like an abode of the Gods, not just of temples. Often known as the City of Light, Dev Deepawali is probably a manifestation of this very epithet.

 

Dev Deepawali in Varanasi Celebrations

The traditional plan of events for Dev Deepawali in Varanasi is quite elaborate and is followed religiously every year. The ceremony starts with the offering of prayers (Ganesh Vandana) and flowers to Lord Ganesh. This is followed by the offering of lit earthen lamps or diyas, known as deepdaan, by 21 Brahmins and 41 young girls with the chanting of Vedic mantras in the background. A lot of devotees take a dip in the river Ganges on this auspicious day, known as Kartik Snan. This ritual is believed to rid a person of his/her sins. Many households also organize Akhand Ramayan (chanting of the holy scripture, Ramayana) followed by Bhoj where food is offered to people.
