Days & Dates of Special Significance.

-
For quite some time I have found my daughter pursuing her graduation preparing,on a part time basis,for competitive examinations of different levels.
                One day she, perhaps out of curiosity or some need of revisions,happened to ask me a number of Special Days which form part of general knowledge & general awareness if not general studies. 
                    Upon having found myself deficient,I decided to collect these Special Days and present the same for her in a classified way.
                        In fact, classifying things based on certain properties,attributes or events of same/similar nature has always been my favourite pastime in varying degrees in varying times.

साधन चतुष्टय

जैसा कि नाम से ही स्पष्ट है, उपरोक्त का आशय चार साधनों के समूह से है. ये कौन से साधन हैं जो मनुष्य को बन्धन से मुक्त करते हैं-इसे आचार्य शंकर ने स्वरचित ग्रंथ 'विवेक-चूड़ामणि' मे...

न्याय के रूप में ख्यात कुछ लोकरूढ़ नीतिवाक्य

-
आम बोलचाल में तो नहीं किन्तु विद्वतमंडली में शास्त्रचर्चा के समय अपने तर्क के समर्थन में अथवा किसी विषय विशेष पर अपना आग्रह, समानता, दृष्टांत या निदर्शना हेतु कतिपय लोकरूढ़ नीतिवाक्य की सहायता ली जाती है। ऐसे हीं कुछ लोकरूढ़ नीतिवाक्यों को पाठकों के प्रसंगानुकूल उपयोग के लिए संग्रह करके नीचे रखा गया है। १. अंधचटकन्याय : जब अपात्र व्यक्ति को कुछ कीमती वस्तु अनायास प्राप्त हो जाता है तो हम सहसा हीं कह बैठते हैं - अंधे के हाथ बटेर लग गया। अंधचटकन्याय यही है। २. अंधपरम्परान्याय :- जब लोग बिना विचारे दूसरों का अंधानुकरण करने लगते हैं। ३. अरूंधती दर्शनन्याय - ज्ञात से अज्ञात का पता लगाना। ४. अशोकवनिका न्याय - रावण ने सीता को अशोक वाटिका में रखा था, परन्तु उसने और स्थानों को छोड़ इसी वाटिका में क्यों रक्खा, इसका कोई विशेष कारण नहीं बताया जा सकता। अर्थात सारांश यह कि जब मनुष्य के पास किसी कार्य को सम्पन्न करने के अनेक साधन प्राप्त हों, तो यह उसकी अपनी इच्छा है कि वह चाहे किसी साधन को अपना ले। ऐसी अवस्था में किसी भी साधन को अपनाने का कोई विशेष कारण नहीं दिया जा सकता। ५. अश्मलोष्टन्याय -...

भावग्राही जनार्दनः

-
जीवनपर्यंत हम कुछ न कुछ करते हीं रहते हैं. यह भी सच है कि कुछ किये बिना रह भी नहीं सकते. प्राणयात्रा से लेकर शारीरिक यात्रा भी बिना कर्म किये असम्भव है. कहना अतिशयोक्ति नहीं होगा कि स्वार्थ से लेकर परमार्थ तक हमारी सारी गतिविधियां प्रायः स्वयं को केन्द्र में रखकर ही होती है. किन्तु ईश्वर को हमारे इन कर्मों से कोई मतलब नहीं है.  उनको यदि सरोकार है तो हमारी उन क्रियाओं के पीछे छुपे भाव से. वे ये भी नहीं देखते कि उन्हें भजने वाला मूरख है या विद्वान. वे तो केवल प्रेम देखते हैं, भावना देखते हैं,समर्पण देखते हैं. तभी एक श्लोक है कि व्याकरणज्ञान से रहित कोई मूर्ख शुद्धश्रद्धाभावेन 'विष्णवे नमः' के बदले 'विष्णाय नमः' का भी पाठ करे तो फल की दृष्टि से कोई अंतर नहीं होगा; कारण भगवान् क्रियाग्राही हैं ही नहीं, वे तो भावग्राही ठहरे. मूर्खो वदति विष्णाय धीरो वदति विष्णवे। तयोः फलं तुल्यं हि भावग्राही जनार्दनः।। वे तो इतने भावग्राही हैं कि प्रेमपूर्वक अर्पित पत्र, पुष्प, फल वा जल को खा तक लेते है. इसे देखने का न तो हममें सामर्थ्य है न हीं सारग्राहिणी-सूक्ष्मदर्शिणी बुद्धि. पत्...
