Martand Bhairav Shadhratrausav

Khanderay Navaratra (Champashashti)

 

(Margashish Shudhha 1 To 6 i.e. 10^th Dec. to 15^th Dec. 2007)

The 6^th Day of Marathi month ‘Margashish’ (Margashish Shudhha 6) is called as Champashashti. In Maharashtra state this day is celebrated as the festival in the name of Khandoba. The story behind this is as follows –

Story:- Long time ago there were two devils namely Mani & Malla. They were tormenting/ torturing the good, virtuous, righteous people. So Lord Shankar took incarnation of Martand Bhairav and battled with them on the mountains of Manichal. During this battle devil mani surrendered to Martand bhairav and devil Malla was died. As the devil malla was defeated by Lord, this incarnation of Lord is called as Mallhari [Malla + Aari = Mallhari. Aari means enemy or the one who defeated to somebody]. This battle was happened in Margashish Pratipada to Shashti for Six days. So these days are celebrated as Dev-Dipavali as well as “Khandoba Navaratra”During these days Nanda Deep is lightened 24 hrs.. Flowers of Marigold (Zendhuchi fule) are very much liked to Khanderay. Khanderay is the family deity (Kul-Daivat) of most of the families in Maharashtra . Zezuri, Nimgao, Pali, Naldurga are some of the pilgrimage places of Khanderay. In some of the families this Navararta is worshipped as Kuldharma-Kulaachar. On this auspicious occasion of Kulaachar following vidhi is done.

Poojan Vidhi:- In this Navaratra “Ghatstapana” as like Devi Navaratra is done. The only thing is that “Taak of Shree Khanderay” is kept on Ghat. The poornapatra is kept on Ghat. Some Akshada or betel leaves are kept on the poornapatra and “Taak of Khanderay”is put upon that. Other deities should be kept in Devghar only and not on Ghat because Ghati basavane means to give rest. As ‘Malhari Maharaj’ lead the battle so he take rest on these days and not other deities take rest. Daily do Panchopchar poojan of Khanderay by keeping some distance. Do not touch the deity. Recite mantra “Shree Mallhari Martanday Namaha|”. Khanderay likes Bhandara i.e. Halad (Turmeric) so offer Bhandara daily. On last day (On Champashashti) after doing Panchopchar poojan Tali Pooja is done. Tali is filled as per instructions given in “Malhari Mahatmya” book. Ashtadal is made of rice (tandulacha Ashtadal Karava) in Poornapatra. Bhandara is kept on that. In the centre of the Ashtadal Betel nut, coin, leaves of betel and coconut are kept. Poojan of Tali is done. All men & children of the family should keep hands upon the Poornapatra and lift it thrice and touch it to foreheads of all saying “Yelkot Yelkot jay mallhar Sadanandacha Yelkot Mhalasakant Kade pathar Ki Jay!”. Some Bhandara is offered to Lord and put the Poornapatra down. Do this process thrice. At some places following Jay-Jaykar is done as -

Sadanandacha Yelkot, Yelkot Mallhar Yelkot| Har Har Mahadev| Chintaman Moraya| Bhairobacha Chandoba| Agagadbamb Nagara| Sonyachi Jejuri| Motyacha Tura| Nila Ghoda| Pathi Toda| Kamar Kargotaa| Bembee Heera| Galyat Kanthee| Mohan Maala| Doevar Shela| Aangaavar Shaal| Sada Heelala| Jejuri jai| Shikar Kheli| Mhalasa Sundari| Aarati Kari| Devaa Ovali| Nanapari| Devachya Shrungaara Kot Laago Sheekharaa| Khanderaayachaa Khandaka| Bhandaraacha Bhadaka| Bol Sadanandaacha Yelkot||

सदानन्दाचा येळ्कोट येळ्कोट मल्ल्हार येळ्कोट| हर हर महादेव| चिन्तामन मोरया| भैरोबाचा चांदोबा| अगडबंब नगारा| सोन्याचि जेजुरि| मोत्यचा तुरा| निला घोडा|पाथी तोडा|कमर करगोटा| बेंबी हिरा| गळ्यात कंठी| मोहन माळा| डोईवर शेला| अंगावर शाल| सदा हिलाल| जेजुरि जाई| शिकार खेळी| म्हाळसा सुंदरी| आरती करी| देवा ओवाळी| नानापरी| देवाच्या श्रृंगारा कोट लागो शिखरा| खंडेरायाचा खंडका| भंडाराचा भडका| बोल सदानंदाचा येळ्कोट| 

{"Yelkot" is word which is being in use since this Incarnation. Actually Khandoba is the family deity of 6 crore devotees. The meaning of Yelkot is God of Six Crore devotees (Yel means Six and kot means crore)}.

After that the coconut is brocken and Prasad is offered to firstly Lord and then to all the family members. For Naivedya – Bajarichi Bhakari (Roti of Bajra), Paticha Kanda (Chive), Navya Vangyache Bharit (Bharit of New Brinjal), Nava Lasoon (New Garlic). Pooran-Poli is also offred to lord. Aarati is done. The Aarati of Mhallhari is given in Mhallhari Mahatmya Book. The head of the family preferably men should keep fast for 5 days and on last day fast should be break. Paarayan of Mhallhari Mahatnmya should be done in 5, 7, 11 nos. in these days. This deity is very much simple & he gives us all blessings. He is incarnation of Bhola Samb Shankar. He is very quickly propitiate upon his devotees. There is one real story given in our Mhallhari Mahatmya by Shree Gurumauli. The story is - When King Aurangajeb destroyed temles of Hindus, nobody reacted or opposed to him anywhere. But at Jejuri there were Five hundred righteous, virtous fellows who are great devotees of Khandoba. They decided to fight the battle with 1.25 Lac soldiers of Aurangjeb. Seeing their righteous motto Lord Kandoba made a trick. Near about Lacs "Bhunge" (like bees - I don't know what to say to Bhunga in English!) were came to defeat Aurangajeb. Knowing the reality Aurangajeb offered one diamond of worth Rs. 1.25 Lacs at the feet of Lord Khanderay. People call that diamond as "Savva Lakhacha Bhunga".

I will send the Aarati of Khanderay tommorow.

Nishikant.
