Purohiti ki Chaabiyaan ke Upahaar mein Aanand Manaen

Purohiti ki chaabiyaan yah niyantrit karti hain ki kaise Parmeshwar ke purohiti ka upayog Prabhu ke uddeshyon ko poora karane aur un sabhi ko aashirvaad dene ke liye kiya ja sakata hai jo punahsthaapit susamaachaar ko svikaar karate hain.

Mere pyaare bhaiyon aur bahanon, aaj President Dallin H. Oaks aur mere liye ek aitihaasik din hai. Yah 40 saal pahale, 7 April 1984 ko tha, jab ham Barah Devduton ke Korum mein shaamil hue the. Ham tab se pratyek aam sammelan mein khush huwe hai, jismen yah sammelan bhi shaamil hai. Hamen ek baar phir Aatma ke pavitr aashirvaad ka prabhaau mila hai. Mujhe aasha hai ki aap aane vaale mahinon mein is sammelan ke sandeshon ka baar-baar adhyayan karenge.

Jab mera janm hua, Girjaghar mein cheh mandir kaaryarat the- St mein ek ek. George, Logan, Manti, aur Salt Lake City, Utah; saath hi ismen Cardston, Alberta, Canada; aur Laie, Hawaii bhi the. Pahele ke do mandiron ne Kirtland, Ohio aur Nauvoo, IIIinois mein thode samay ke liye kaam kiya tha. Jaise hi Girjaghar ke log pashchim ki or badhe, Santon ko un do mandiron ko pichhe chhodane ke liye majaboor hona pada.

Nauvoo Mandir ek aagajanee ki aag se nasht ho gaya tha. Iska punarnirmaan kiya gaya aur phir President Gordon B. Hinckley dwara dedicate kiya gaya. Kirtland Mandir ko Girjaghar ke dushmanon dwara apavitr kar diya gaya tha. Baad mein Kirtland Mandir ko Kamyunitee oph Christ dwara adhigrahit kar liya gaya, jinhone use kai warsh tak apnaya hai.

Pichale mahine hamne ghoshna ki thee ki Ishu Masih ke Antim dinon ke Santon ka ne Nauvoo mein kai mahatvapurn aitihaasik sthalon ke saath-saath Kirtland Mandir ko bhi khareed liya hai. Ham Kamyunitee oph Christ ke netaon ke saath hui sauhaardapoorn aur paarasparik roop se laabhaprad charcha ki bahut saraahana karate hain jisake karan yah samajhauta hua.

Kirtland Mandir.

Woh Kirtland Mandir.

Ishu Masih ke susamaachaar ki Punahsthaapana mein Kirtland Mandir ka asaamaany mahatv hai. Wahan hone waali kai ghatanaon ki millennia se bhavishyavaani ki gai thee aur Prabhu ke punahsthaapit Girjaghar ke liye apane antim mishan ko poora karne ke liye yah aavashyak tha.

Inamen se sabse mahatvapurn ghatna Easter Raviwaar, 3 April, 1836 ko ghatee . Us din, Joseph Smith aur Oliver Cowdery ne kai reemarkablemulaakaaton ka anubhav kiya. Sabse pahale, Prabhu Ishu Masih prakat hue. Profat ne darj kiya ki Rakshak ki “aankhe aag ki lapto jaise thi; uske sir ke baal safed the barf jaise; uske chehre ka tej suraj ki chamak se zyaada tha; aur uski aawaaz dher paani ke bahaao ki tarah tha.”

Is mulaakaat ke dauraan, Prabhu ne Apani pahachaan ki pushti ki. Usne kaha, “Main wahi pehla aur aakhri hoon, Wahi hoon jo jiwit hai, Wahi hoon jisse maara gaya tha; Main Pita ke saath tumhara wakeel hoon. ”

Ishu Masih ne tab ghoshna ki ki unhonne mandir ko Apne ghar ke roop mein swikaar kar liya hai aur yah aashcharyajanak vaada kiya: “Main is ghar mein apane logon par daya karake svayan ko prakat karunga.”

Yah mahatvapurn vaada aaj har ek samarpit mandir par laagoo hota hai. Main aapko is baat par vichaar karne ke liye aamantrit karta hoon ki Prabhu ka waada aapke liye vyaktigat roop se kya maayane rakhata hai.

Rakshak ke jaane ke baad, Moses prakat hue. Moses ne Joseph Smith ko Israel ko ikattha karane aur das janajaati(tribes) ki vaapasee ki chaabiyaan pradaan ki.

Jab yah darshan bandh hua, to “Elias prakat hua, aur usne Joseph ko Abraham” ke susamaachaar ka vyavastha saumpa.

Tab Elijah woh profat prakat hua. Unki upasthiti ne Malachi ke vaade ko pura kiya ki Dusre Aagaman se pahale, Prabhu Elijah ko bhejega “pitaaon ke hirday bachcho ki or, aur bachcho ke dil pitaaon ke or modene ke liye.” Elijah ne Joseph Smith ko seeling shakti ki chaabiyaan pradaan ki.

Prabhu ke nirdeshan mein teen swargiye duton dwara prthvee par lautai gai in chaabiyon ke mahatv ko kam nahin maana ja sakata hai. Purohiti ki chaabiyaan raashtrapati pad ke adhikaar aur shakti ka gathan karti hain. Purohiti ki chaabiyaan niyantrit karti hain ki kaise Parmeshwar ke purohiti ka upayog Prabhu ke uddeshyon ko pura karane aur Ishu Masih ke unasthaapit susamaachaar ko swikaar karane aale sabhi ko aashirvaad dene ke liye istamaal kiya ja sakata hai.

Yah dhyaan rakhana zaroori hai ki Girjaghar ke sangathan se pahale, swargiye duton ne Profat Joseph ko Aaronic aur Melchizedek Purohiti pradaan ki thee aur unhen donon purohiti ki chaabiyaan di thee. In chaabiyon ne Joseph Smith ko 1830 mein Girjaghar ko vyavasthit karane ka adhikaar diya.

Phir 1836 mein Kirtland Mandir mein, in teen atirikt purohiti ki chaabiyon ko pradaan karna - arthaat, Israel ki sabha ki chaabiyaan, Abraham ke susamaachaar ki chaabiyaan, aur seeling shakti ki chaabiyaan—aavashyak thee. In chaabiyon ne Joseph smith ko—aur Prabhu ke Girjaghar ke sabhi sacseeding President ko—parde ke donon taraf Israel ko ikattha karane, Abraham ke aashirvaad se sabhi vachanon ke bachchon ko aashirvaad dene, purohiti adhyaadeshon aur anubandhon par ek anusamarthan muhar lagaane aur pariwaar hamesha ke liye seal ho jae ke liye adhikrt kiya. In purohiti ki chaabiyon ki shakti anant aur lubhaavanee hai.

Vichaar karen ki yadi purohiti ki chaabiyaan prthvee par punah sthaapit nahin ki gai hoti to aapka jeevan kaise alag hota. Purohiti ki chaabiyon ke bina, aap Parmeshwar ki shakti se sampann nahin ho sakate hai. Purohiti ki chaabiyon ke bina, Girjaghar kewal ek mahatvapurn shikshan aur humanitarian sangathan ke roop mein kaam kar sakata hai, isse zaada nahin. Purohiti ki chaabiyon ke bina, ham me se kisi ke paas aavashyak adhyaadeshon aur anubandhon tak pahunch nahin hoti jo hamen anant kaal tak hamare priyajanon se baandhate hain aur ant tak hamen Parmeshwar ke saath rahane ki anumati dete hain.

Purohiti ki chaabiyaan Ishu Masih ke Antim-dinon ke Santon ka ko prthvee par kisi bhi anye sangathan se alag karti hain. Kai anye sangathan yaha mrtyu dar mein aapke jeevan ko behatar bana sakte hain aur banate bhi hain. Lekin koi anye sangathan mrtyu ke baad aapke jeevan ko prabhaavit nahin kar sakte hai aur na hi karenge..

Purohiti ki chaabiyaan hamen Abraham se vaada kiye gae sabhi aashirvaadon ko pratyek vaachan-paalan karane waale purush aur mahila tak pahunchaane ka adhikaar deti hain. Mandir ke kaarye in axquisitt aashirvaadon ko Parmeshwar ke sabhi bachchon ke liye upalabdh karata hai, bhale hi weh kaha ya kab rahate the ya ab rahate hain. Aaie ham khushi manaye ki purohiti ki chaabiyaan ek baar phir prthvee par hain!

Main aapko nimantrit karta hoon ki aap in teen kathanon par dhyaanpurvak vichaar kare:

  1. Israel ko batorna is baat ka saboot hai ki Parmeshwar har jagah Apane sabhi bachchon se pyaar karte hai.

  2. Abraham ka susamaachaar is baat ka aur saboot hai ki Parmeshwar har jagah Apane sabhibachchon se pyaar karte hai. Woh sabhi ko apane paas aane ke liye aamantrit karte hai—“kaale aur gore, bandhe ue aur aazaad, aadmi aur aurat; parameshvar ke liye sabhi ek samaan hain.”

  3. Seal karane ki shakti is baat ka asamaanil pramaan hai ki Parmeshwar har jagah Apane sabhi bachchon se kitna pyaar karte hai aur chahate hai ki unmen se pratyek Uske paas ghar lautane ka vikalp chune.

Profat Joseph Smith ke dwaara punarsthaapit ki gai purohiti ki chaabiyaan har ek anubandh-paalan karane waale aadmi aur aurat ke liye incredible vyaktigatadhyaatmik priviledges ka aanand lena sambhav banaati hain. Yaha fir, Kirtland Mandir. ke pavitr itihaas se ham bahut kuch sikh sakate hain.

Joseph Smith ki Kirtland Mandir ke prati samarpit praathana is baare mein ek tyootoriyal hai ki kaise mandir aapko aur mujhe in antim dinon mein jeevan ki chunautiyon ka saamana karane ke liye aadhyaatmik roop se sashakt banaata hai. Main aapko us praathana ka adhyayan karane ke liye protsaahit karta hoon, jo Doctrine and Covenants section 109mein darj hai. Woh samarpit praathana, jo revelaishan se praapt ki gai thee, sikhaati hai ki mandir hai “prarthna ka ghar, upwaas ka ghar, vishwaas ka ghar, siikhne ka ghar, mahima ka ghar, anushaasan ka ghar, Ishwar ka ghar.”

Visheshataon ki yah soochi kisi mandir ke vivaran se kahi adhik hai. Yah ek waada hai ki un logon ka kya hoga jo Prabhu ke ghar mein sewa aur aaraadhana karate hain. Weh praathana ke uttar, vyaktigat revelaishan, adhik vishwaas, shakti, aaraam, graitar gyaan aur graitar shakti praapt karane ki umeed kar sakate hain.

Mandir mein samay bitaane se aapko divye sochne aur yah dekhane mein madad milegi ki aap vaastav mein kaun hain, aap kaun ban sakate hain, aur aap hamesha kis tarah ka jeevan pa sakate hain. Regular mandir pooja se aap apne aap ko dekhane ka tarika aur aap Parmeshwar ki shaandaar yojna mein kaise phit hote hain, isme sudhaar aaega. Main yeh vaada karta hoon.

Hamse yah bhi waada kiya gaya hai ki mandir mein ham “Pavitr Aatma kee paripurnata praapt kar sakate hain.” Kalpana kijiye ki shaashvat satya ke pratyek imaanadaar khoj ke liye aakaash khula hone ke sandarbh mein us waade ka kya matalab hai.

Hamen nirdesh diya gaya hai ki mandir mein pooja karane waale sabhi logon ke paas Parmeshwar ki shakti hogi aur angels ke paas “un par adhikaar hoga.” Yah jaanne se aapka aatmavishwaas kitna badh jaata hai ki, Parmeshwar ki shakti se sampann ek mahila ya purush ke roop mein, aapko jeevan ka saamana akele nahin karana padega? Yah jaanakari se aapko kitna saahas milta hai ki angels sachamuch aapkee madad karenge?

Ant mein, hamse waada kiya gaya hai ki “dushtata ka koi sanyojan” un logon par haavee nahin hoga jo Prabhu ke ghar mein pooja karate hain.

Mandir mein sambhav hue aadhyaatmik vishesh aadhikaaron ko samajhana har ek ke liye mahatvapurn hai aaj.

Mere pyaare bhaiyon aur bahanon, yah mera waada hai. Aapki paristhitiyaan anumati ke anusaar niyamit roop se mandir mein pooja karane se behtar adhik koi cheez aapko lohe ko majabooti se pakadane mein madad nahin karegi. Jab aap duniya ke andhakaar ki dhundh ka saamana karenge to usse zaada koi bhi cheez aapki adhiksuraksha nahin kar paegi. Kuch bhi Prabhu Ishiu Masih aur Unke praeshchit ke baare mein aapki gavahi ko majaboot nahin karega ya aapko Parmeshwar ki shaandaar yojna ko aur adhik samajhane mein madad nahin karega usse zaada. Dard ke samay mein koi bhi cheez aapkee aatma ko usse zaada shaant nahin kar paegi. Koi bhi cheez swarg ko usse adhik nahin kholegi. Kuch nahin!

Mandir ham sab ke liye Parmeshwar dwaara rakhe gae sabse bade aashirvaad ka pravesh dwaar hai, kyunki mandir prthvee par ek maatra sthaan hai jaha ham Abraham se waada kiye gae sabhi aashirvaad praapt kar sakte hain. Yahi karan hai ki ham Girjaghar ke sadasyon ke liye mandir ke aashirvaad ko aur adhik pahunch yogya banaane ke liye, Prabhu ke nirdeshan mein, apanee shakti ke bheetar sab kuch kar rahe hain. Thus, 15 sthaanon mein se pratyek mein mandir banaane ki apni yojna ki ghoshna karne ke liye aabhaari hain:

  • Uturoa, French Polynesia

  • Chihuahua, Mexico

  • Florianópolis, Brazil

  • Rosario, Argentina

  • Edinburgh, Scotland

  • Brisbane, Australia south area

  • Victoria, British Columbia

  • Yuma, Arizona

  • Houston, Texas south area

  • Des Moines, Iowa

  • Cincinnati, Ohio

  • Honolulu, Hawaii

  • West Jordan, Utah

  • Lehi, Utah

  • Maracaibo, Venezuela

Mere pyaare bhaiyon aur bahanon,Main gawahi deta hoon ki yah hai Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dino ke Santo ka. Wah sabse upar hai. Hum Uske sewak hai.

Aaie ham purohiti ki chaabiyaan ki punahsthaapit ka aanand len, jo aapke aur mere liye har us aadhyaatmik aashirvaad ka aanand lena sambhav banaatee hai jise ham praapt karane ke ichchuk aur yogye hain. Mai yah gawahi Ishu Masih ke pavitra naam se deta hoon, amen.
