Class 7 Social Science Chapter 8: How the Land Becomes Sacred (Hinglish Notes)
Ye chapter 5 lines mein
How the Land Becomes Sacred dikhata hai ki Bharat mein jagahein, yaatraayein aur poori zameen bhi pavitra kaise ho sakti hai. Har dharm ke apne teerth hain; char dham, 12 jyotirling aur 51 Shakti peeth jaise teerthon ke jaal poore upmahadweep par phaile hain; teerthyatri aur vyapaari ek hi raaste chalte the; aur pavitra nadiyon, pahaadon aur groves ne prakriti ko bachaaya aur sanskriti ko joda.
Ye chapter kis baare mein hai?
Chapter Bhagavata Purana ki ek pankti se shuru hota hai jo tatvon, nadiyon, samudron, pedon aur sabhi jeevon ko param Ishwar ke shareer ke ang batati hai. Ye chaar sawaal poochhta hai: pavitrata kya hai, zameen pavitra kaise banti hai, pavitra sthal aur teerthyatra ke raaste logon ke jeevan se kaise jude hain, aur is pavitra bhugol ne upmahadweep ki sanskritiyon ko jodne mein kya madad ki.
Pavitra kya hai?
Yahan koi cheez pavitra hai agar uska gehra dhaarmik ya aadhyaatmik arth ho aur wo shraddha ke laayak ho. Ye koi mandir ya sthal ho sakta hai jo man mein gehri bhaavnaayein jagaaye, teerthyatra jaisi khaas yaatra, uska raasta, ya wo zameen bhi jise ye yaatraayein paar karti hain. Isliye pavitrata sirf dharm se nahi, bhugol aur kai paramparaaon se bhi judi hai.
Har dharm ke pavitra sthal
Bharat mein lagbhag har dharm ke pavitra sthal hain. Bahar shuru hue dharmon ke sthal bhi yahan hain, jahan doosre dharmon ke log bhi jaate hain, jaise Ajmer ki Dargah Sharif aur Tamil Nadu ka Velankanni Church. Buddhist log Buddha se jude sthalon ko poojte hain, jaise Sanchi ka Great Stupa aur Bodh Gaya ka Mahabodhi, jahan har saal 40 lakh se zyaada log aate hain. Sikh kam se kam ek baar takhton tak jaana chahte hain, jaise Amritsar ka Akal Takht. Mount Abu, Girnar aur Shatrunjaya jaise Jain teerth Tirthankaron se jude hain, aur Kerala ke Sabarimala jaise pahaadi mandir kabhi sirf kathin chadhaai se hi pahunche jaate the. Padho India ka pavitra bhugol.
Teerthyatra aur pavitra bhugol
Teerth shabd ke hisaab se nadi paar karne ki jagah hai, aur pratik roop mein ooche aadhyaatmik jeevan mein paar jaane ki jagah. Kam se kam 3,000 saal se, train aur bus se bahut pehle, Bharatiya aisi jagahon tak upmahadweep paar karte rahe hain. Char dham zameen ke chaar konon par rakhe gaye, Badrinath, Rameswaram, Puri aur Dwarka, aur 12 jyotirling aur 51 Shakti peeth poore naqshe par phaile hain, kuch aaj ke Bangladesh aur Pakistan mein bhi. Shakti peeth ki kahaani mein jahan Sati ke shareer ke hisse gire, wahan teerth bane, isliye poori zameen divya maa ka shareer maani jaati hai. Aise jaalon se kati zameen khud pavitra ban jaati hai.
Yaatri aur vyapaari
Log kai kaaranon se yaatra karte the: teerthyatri teerthon tak, vyapaari vyapaar ke liye, vichaarak bahas aur apne vichaar phailaane ke liye, aur vidyaarthi mashhoor shikshakon se seekhne. Unke raaste aksar milte the, aur saaman, kahaaniyon aur bahason ke len den se naye vichaar bane aur purane badle, jisne upmahadweep ki sanskriti ko jodne mein badi bhoomika nibhaayi. Teerthyatriyon ko saaman chahiye tha jo vyapaari de sakte the, isliye teerthyatra ke raaste aur Uttarapatha aur Dakshinapatha jaise vyapaar ke raaste ek doosre par chadhte the. Padho teerthyatra aur vyapaar.
Pavitra paryavaran
Zyaadatar teerth nadiyon ya jheelon ke kinaare, jungalon mein ya pahaadon par hain, isliye poora nazaara khud ek pavitra jagah, punyakshetra, maana jaata hai, aur isne prakriti ko bachaane mein madad ki. Vedic kaal se nadiyon ki pooja hoti aayi hai, aur Kumbh Mela Haridwar, Prayagraj, Nashik aur Ujjain mein karodon logon ko kheenchta hai. Pahaadon ko divya tak pahunchne ka darwaaza maana jaata hai. Peepal chaar dharmon mein pavitra hai, aur samudaayon ne sacred groves bachaaye, jo jaanwaron ko sharan dete aur paani bachaate hain. Odisha ki Niyam Dongar pahaadi, Sikkim ki pavitra jheelein aur gufaayein, aur Nilgiris ki Toda chotiyaan dikhaati hain ki prakriti ki pooja kitni vyaapak hai. Padho sacred groves kya hain.
Pavitra ki raksha
Pavitra bhugol Bharat ke bahar bhi hai, praacheen Greece se New Zealand ke Maori tak, jinke poorvaj pahaad ko kanoon ne ek vyakti ke adhikaar diye hain. Phir bhi Bharat mein Yamuna, Mahanadi aur Kaveri jaisi kai pavitra nadiyan pradooshit hain aur sacred groves sikud rahe hain. Prakriti ko pavitra maanne waala nazariya aaj sustainability ki chinta mein madad kar sakta hai, aur Samvidhaan humein apni virasat bachaane ka kartavya yaad dilaata hai.
Aage badhne se pehle
Bharat ke sabhi dharmon ke pavitra sthal zameen par phaile hain; Hindu teerthyatra ke jaal poore upmahadweep ko dhakte hain aur vyakti ke vikaas ke saath vyapaar aur sanskritik ekta mein bhi kaam aate hain; kai paramparaayein khud zameen ko pavitra maanti hain; aur in jagahon ki raksha hamara saajha kartavya hai. Har sawaal ke jawaab Chapter 8 ke NCERT solutions mein hain.
