RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA-----------------------At the Chaturmasya Vrat Sthal, India's great sage Saint Shri Lakshmi Prapanna Jiyar Swami Ji Maharaj said that dance and singing have special importance in Katha, religious events, marriage, wedding, celebration. In the Shreemad Bhagwat Mahapuran, in the God's Leela Katha, special importance of dance and singing has been mentioned in the beginning, middle and end of the Katha.

But a limit of dance and singing is also prescribed in the scriptures. Today, during the Shreemad Bhagwat Katha, dance is being done every 5 minutes. At some places in the Katha, you may have seen that women also dance during the Katha. But dance also has a limit. There should not be such dance or singing, which creates fickleness in the society. By doing dance and singing every 5 minutes during the Katha, the story of God gets hidden. Whereas when the story of God is told, the story itself has special importance there. Because the welfare of human life is possible by discussing the form and Leela of God. Dancing and singing: The importance of singing Bhajans has been given on the occasion of the marriage, birth and other festivals of the Lord.

But today, there is less storytelling and more dancing and singing. Swami Ji said that there should be no objection to dancing and singing. But it should be in a limited manner. Dancing is happening on the occasion of marriage or other festivals. Where the women of the house dance. Whereas, for dancing and singing, separate people are called for band party and singing etc. That is why, while dancing and singing, we should also follow the decorum of our society and culture.Under the Shrimad Bhagwat Katha, a 1000-year-long ritual was organized in the Naimisharanya area, where the story was organized in the presence of 88000 saints and great men. Where the event was presided over by Sage Sonak. Soot Ji was sitting on the Vyas Peetha. Soot Ji was asked by Sage Sonak that what is the easy medium to attain God, how can God be attained. Further, Sut ji explained in detail the context of Shrimad Bhagwat composed by Vyas ji.

Vyas ji was born to sage Parashar and Satyavati. Vyas ji was born to describe the divine play of God.

The story which was earlier in the form of Shruti, which was to be said and heard, was written down by Vyas ji in the form of writing. Vyas ji first composed the Vedas. One lakh verses were written in the Vedas. Vyas ji divided the Vedas into four parts and composed them separately. Which include Samveda, Atharvaveda, Yajurveda, and Rigveda.

After that Upanishads were composed. Vyas ji further composed Mahabharata, in which the verses of Vedas Upanishads were written in easy language. In this way, many history, Puranas, Vedas were composed by Vyas ji. Women did not have rights over the Vedas. Because there are some rules for reading the sentences of Vedas. That is why women did not have the right over Vedas. Women were not given the right over Vedas because they were in impure state. Similarly, the right of Yagyopaveet Sanskar was also not given to women by the sages. Because women attain impurity after some time. Due to which the dignity of Yagyopaveet Sanskar is not maintained.

That is why the sages gave women the right to do Puja Paath etc. even without Yagyopaveet Sanskar. But in the Vedas composed by Vyas ji, 95 percent of the people did not have the right to read them. 50 percent of women were separated. Those whose food habits, lifestyle, conduct, behavior are not decent, they are also not entitled to Vedas. In this way 95 percent of the people were not entitled to Vedas. Only 5% of the people became entitled to Vedas. That is why Vyas ji composed many religious texts later. Even after composing 17 Puranas including Vishnu Purana, Vyas ji did not get peace. Because Vyas ji composed many different history Puranas etc., but he had written some such words in them, due to which people started misinterpreting them. Due to which the conduct of people in the society could not remain right.

That is why Vyas ji started getting troubled in his mind. Then later Narad ji guided Vyas ji. In which Narad ji said that Vyas ji, all the history, Puranas, texts composed by you have created confusion among the people in the society. That is why you should compose such a text which can bring welfare to the people of the society. The last 18th Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran was composed by Vyas ji. Due to which the welfare of human beings is possible. The essence of all the Puranas is Bhagwat Mahapuran. By listening to which all human beings can get the refuge of Lord Shriman Narayan.
