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 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।
