परिचय
भगवान राम का राज्याभिषेक अयोध्या के लोगों के लिए अत्यंत हर्ष का विषय था। वर्षों तक अपने धर्म, कर्तव्य और वीरता से राज्य की सेवा करने के बाद, राजा दशरथ ने राम को युवराज घोषित करने का निर्णय लिया। इस घोषणा से पूरे अयोध्या में खुशी की लहर दौड़ गई।
राजा दशरथ का निर्णय
अब वृद्ध हो चुके राजा दशरथ चाहते थे कि उनके जीवनकाल में ही राम सिंहासन पर आसीन हों। उन्होंने अपने मंत्रियों, ऋषियों और परिवार के सदस्यों से परामर्श किया। सभी ने एकमत होकर कहा कि राम इस पद के लिए सबसे योग्य हैं। इसके बाद राजा दशरथ ने राम के राज्याभिषेक की घोषणा कर दी।
भव्य समारोह की तैयारियाँ
पूरी अयोध्या नगरी खुशी से झूम उठी। घरों और गलियों को फूलों और दीपों से सजाया गया। महल में भव्य सजावट की गई और शुभ मुहूर्त में वैदिक अनुष्ठान किए गए।
कैकेयी का हस्तक्षेप
जब पूरी अयोध्या आनंदित थी, तभी कैकेयी की दासी मंथरा ने उसे राम के राज्याभिषेक से होने वाले संभावित नुकसान के बारे में भड़काया। कैकेयी ने राजा दशरथ को उनके दो वचनों की याद दिलाई और दो वरदान मांगे – पहला, कि भरत को राजा बनाया जाए, और दूसरा, कि राम को 14 वर्षों के लिए वनवास भेजा जाए। यह अप्रत्याशित घटना रामायण के पूरे घटनाक्रम को बदलने वाली थी।
इस घटना का महत्व
-
धर्म की परीक्षा – राम ने वनवास को धैर्यपूर्वक स्वीकार करके धर्म के प्रति अपनी निष्ठा को सिद्ध किया।
-
राजनीतिक षड्यंत्र – यह घटना दर्शाती है कि कैसे ईर्ष्या और भ्रम राजनीति को प्रभावित कर सकते हैं।
-
रामायण का मोड़ – राज्याभिषेक की योजना ही राम के वनवास का कारण बनी और आगे की घटनाओं को जन्म दिया।
जहाँ अयोध्या में राज्याभिषेक की खुशी थी, वहीं कुछ ही समय में यह उल्लास शोक में बदल गया, जब राम ने वन गमन की तैयारी शुरू कर दी।
