📖 Introduction – Char Dham ka Ek Anokha Rahasya
Jagannath Temple, jo Odisha ke Puri mein sthit hai, Hindu dharm ke Char Dham mein se ek hai. Har saal lakhon bhakt Rath Yatra ke liye yahaan aate hain, lekin is prachin mandir mein ek aisa secret hai jo sabko surprise karta hai – the third step, yaani Yamashila.
🧿 Jagannath Temple Third Step Mystery – Kya Hai Iska Raaz?
Jagannath Mandir ke andar pravesh karne ke liye devotees ko 22 steps chadhne padte hain. Har ek step ko pavitra mana jata hai, lekin inmein se 3rd step ka alag hi importance hai.
Is step ko kaha jata hai Yamashila – “Yama ka pathar”.
🔱 Mythology – Yamraj Aur Jagannath Ka Vartalaap
Ek prachin katha ke anusaar, Yamraj, jo mrityu ke devta hain, ek baar Lord Jagannath ke paas aaye. Unhone complain kiya ki unke paas koi aatma nahi aa rahi, kyunki sirf Jagannath ka darshan logon ko moksha de raha tha.
Tab Lord Jagannath ne kaha:
“Jo mujhe dekhne ke baad is 3rd step par pair rakhega, wo paapon se mukta ho jaayega, par tujhe milega.”
Tab se Yamraj is step par vaas karte hain, aur isse Yamashila kaha gaya.
⚠️ Devotees Ka Reaction – Step Par Pair Rakhna Mana Hai
Bhakt is step ko chhoote toh hain, lekin directly us par pair nahi rakhte. Log ya toh step ko haath laga ke side se cross karte hain, ya directly us par pair nahi rakhte – especially darshan ke baad.
Ye ek lok parampara ban chuki hai jo har saal lakhon bhakton ke beech chali aati hai.
