वैदिक पंचांग के अनुसार, कार्तिक मास की पूर्णिमा तिथि की शुरुआत 15 नवंबर सुबह 6 बजकर 19 मिनट पर होगी तथा पूर्णिमा तिथि का समापन 16 नवंबर सुबह 2 बजकर 58 मिनट पर होगा। ऐसे में कार्तिक पूर्णिमा 15 नवंबर को मनाई जाएगी।

कार्तिक पूर्णिमा को लेकर दो कथाएं प्रचलित हैं। एक भगवान शिव के बड़े पुत्र कार्तिकेय से जुड़ी हुई है तथा दूसरी कथा देव दीपावली मनाने को लेकर है। जानते हैं ,पहली कथा – एक बार कार्तिकेय और गणेश की प्रथम पूज्य प्रतियोगिता हुई, जिसमें कार्तिकेय के छोटे भाई गणेश विजयी घोषित किए गए। इस बात को लेकर कार्तिकेय नाराज हो गए थे। जब स्वयं भगवान शिव और पार्वती कार्तिकेय को मनाने के लिए गए तो उन्‍होंने क्रोध में श्राप दिया था कि यदि कोई स्‍त्री उनके दर्शन करने आयेगी तो वो सात जन्‍म तक विधवा रहेगी। वहीं यदि किसी पुरुष ने दर्शन करने का प्रयास किया तो उसकी मृत्‍यु हो जाएगी और इसके बाद नरक में जायेगा। लेकिन बाद में किसी तरह भगवान शंकर और मां पार्वती ने उनका क्रोध शांत किया और उनसे किसी एक दिन दर्शन देने के लिए कहा। जब कार्तिकेय का क्रोध शांत हुआ तो उन्होंने कार्तिक मास की पूर्णिमा तिथि को उनके दर्शन करना महा फलदायी बताया।

एक अन्य धार्मिक कथा के अनुसार कार्तिक मास की पूर्णिमा तिथि को भगवान शिव ने तारकासुर नाम के राक्षस का वध किया था। यह भी कहा जाता है कि कार्तिक पूर्णिमा के दिन ही प्रदोष काल में महादेव ने अर्धनारीश्वर रूप में तारकासुर के तीनों पुत्रों का भी वध किया था। जिन्हें त्रिपुरासुर के नाम से जाना जाता था। जिसकी खुशी में देवताओं ने शिवलोक यानि काशी में आकर दीपावली मनाई थी। तभी से ‘देव दीपावली’ मनाने की परंपरा चली आ रही है। माना जाता है कि कार्तिक मास पूर्णिमा तिथि के दिन काशी में गंगा स्नान कर दीप दान करने से पूर्वजों को मुक्ति मिलती है।

यह भी मान्यता है कि कार्तिक पूर्णिमा को ही देवी तुलसी ने पृथ्वी पर जन्म ग्रहण किया था। कहा जाता है कि कार्तिक पूर्णिमा के दिन राधिका जी की शुभ प्रतिमा का दर्शन और वन्दन करने से मनुष्य को जन्म के बंधन से मुक्त होने में सहायता मिलती है। इस दिन बैकुण्ठ के स्वामी श्री हरि को तुलसी पत्र अर्पण किया जाता है । इसके अलावा कार्तिक पूर्णिमा के दिन गुरु नानक देव जी का भी जन्म हुआ था। इसलिए इस दिन गुरू नानक जयंती का पर्व भी मनाया जाता है।

कार्तिक पूर्णिमा पूजा विधि :

कार्तिक पूर्णिमा पर पवित्र नदी में स्नान और दीपदान का विशेष महत्व है। कहा जाता है कि इस दिन सही समय पर नदी में स्नान करने से व्यक्ति पापों से मुक्त हो जाता है। इसके अलावा, इस शुभ दिन पर जरूरतमंदों को दान भी दिया जाता है। कार्तिक पूर्णिमा पर सुबह जल्दी उठें। घर की साफ-सफाई करें और सूर्य देव को अर्घ्य दें। भगवान विष्णु और माता लक्ष्मी की पूजा करें। व्रत  का संकल्प लें। भगवान विष्णु को सुगंध, फूल, फल, पुष्प और वस्त्र अर्पित करें। देसी गाय के घी का दीपक जलाएं, आरती करें और भगवान विष्णु के मंत्रों का जप करें। फल, मिठाई आदि का भोग लगाएं।

इस दिन अपने कुलदेवता तथा इष्टदेवता सहित, स्थानदेवता, वास्तु देवता, ग्रामदेवता और गांव के अन्य मुख्य उपदेवता, महापुरुष, वेतोबा इत्यादि निम्न स्तरीय देवताओं की पूजा कर उनकी रुचि का प्रसाद पहुंचाने का कर्तव्य भी पूर्ण किया जाता है। देवदीपावली पर पकवानों का महानैवेद्य (भोग) अर्पित किया जाता है।

आपकी विनम्र

कु. कृतिका खत्री,
सनातन संस्था

Framed by a single surround, the black mesh style BMW kidney grille is linked to sleek Adaptive LED headlights with blue accents. The headlights are complimented by the M Lights Shadowline line which adds a sporty black tint making for an imposing front fascia. The car’s hood, long wheelbase, short overhangs and elegantly flowing roofline accentuate its sporting profile when viewed from the side. Exterior mirror caps with their unique M Design in high-gloss black add an eye-catching sporty look. Horizontal lines and the slim, stylishly darkened light units housing L-shaped LED taillights give the rear a wide, athletic stance. Complementing the M aerodynamics package, the car features a body-coloured M rear spoiler on the boot lid.

Clear reduced design, eye-catching graphics, modern bright colours, futuristic textures and the interplay of reflections create an immersive visual appearance. Sport seats with Leather Varnasca upholstery in Black with M Highlights provide excellent lateral support and have a great range of adjustment. The sporty ambience of the interior is also underlined by the newly designed steering wheel with a red centre marker at the 12 o’clock position.  This, along with shift paddles, delivers a race car like seating experience.

इस कार्यक्रम ने कलाकारों को उनके कुछ बेहतरीन और एक-दूसरे के सहयोग से तैयार गीतों को दर्शकों के सामने पेश करने का बेजोड़ मंच प्रदान किया, जिसमें भारतीय और कोरियाई संगीत के घटकों के शानदार तालमेल ने वहाँ मौजूद सभी दर्शकों का मन मोह लियायह अनुभव वाकई बेहद शानदार था, जिसने कलाकारों को अपना प्रदर्शन दिखाने और करियर में संभावित विकास की राह पर आगे बढ़ने का अवसर दिया, जिनकी संगीत रचनाओं ने श्रोताओं के रूप में उपस्थित इस इंडस्ट्री के दिग्गजों के दिल में अपनी अमिट छाप छोड़ी।

जामरुंग में स्थित विजयभूमि यूनिवर्सिटी के ट्रू स्कूल ऑफ़ म्यूज़िक में 6 से 12 नवंबर, 2024 के दौरान भारत और दक्षिण कोरिया के 19 म्यूज़िक क्रिएटर्स ने साथ मिलकर दोनों संस्कृतियों के मेल से संगीत रचनाएँ तैयार कीं। गीत लेखन, कम्पोजीशन तथा प्रोडक्शन जैसे विषयों पर गहन जानकारी देने वाले सत्रों के माध्यम से, उन्होंने भारतीय और कोरियाई प्रभावों की जुगलबंदी के साथ दिलों में नई उमंग जगाने वाला और दुनिया भर के लोगों को आकर्षित करने वाला संगीत तैयार किया। मशहूर म्यूज़िक क्रिएटर्स, बंटी बैंस और मयूर पुरी उन्होंने संगीत शिविर में क्रिएटिव डायरेक्टर की भूमिका निभाई और उन्हीं के मार्गदर्शन में भाग लेने वाले कलाकारों ने अपनी अलग- लग सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि और बेहद खास म्यूज़िकल स्टाइल से प्रेरणा लेकर ऐसा संगीत तैयार किया, जिसमें दोनों संस्कृतियों के बीच इस अभूतपूर्व आदान-प्रदान की ऊर्जा की झलक दिखाई देती है।

इस पहल के बारे में अपनी राय जाहिर करते हुए, जाने-माने गीतकार, पटकथा लेखक, फिल्म-र्देशक तथा IPRS के बोर्ड सदस्य, श्री मयूर पुरी ने कहा, “कोलैब ने भारत और कोरिया के युवा क्रिएटर्स को सही मायने में एक-दूसरे के सहयोग के लिए मंच उपलब्ध कराया है, जिससे उन्हें अपनी भावनाओं को खुलकर जाहिर करने और सचमुच कुछ ऑरिजिनल क्रिएट करने का मौका मिला है। यह पहल व्यावसायिक बाधाओं को दूर करती है, जिससे कलाकारों को अपने खास स्टाइल और अपनी संस्कृति के मूल घटकों को सहज तरीके से साथ मिलाने में मदद मिलती है। यह देखकर हमें भी प्रेरणा मिलती है कि, किस तरह सहयोग की भावना ने भारतीय और कोरियाई संगीत की शानदार विरासत को एकजुट कर दिया है। हम भविष्य में दोनों संस्कृतियों के बीच और अधिक साझेदारियों के लिए इस मंच का विस्तार करने को लेकर बेहद उत्साहित हैं।”

KOMCA के बोर्ड के सदस्य, किम किबेओम ने कहा, “यह शिविर कोरियाई कलाकारों के लिए एक बदलाव लेकर आया है। इससे उन्हें अपनी सामान्य रचनात्मक आदतों से अलग होने और भारतीय कलाकारों के साथ सहयोग से प्रेरित होने का अवसर मिला। भारत में म्यूज़िक के अलग-अलग स्टाइल और यहाँ की संस्कृतियों का अनुभव करने के बाद उनकी कला का दायरा काफी बढ़ गया है। इसके अलावा, दोनों देशों के कलाकारों और प्रोड्यूसर्स के बीच सहयोग से सांस्कृतिक आदान- दान संभव हुआ, जो पहले संभव नहीं था। यकीनन इस अनुभव से KOMCA के कलाकारों को व्यक्तिगत रूप से विकसित होने में मदद मिलेगी, साथ ही कोरियाई संगीत जगत में बिल्कुल नई और अभिनव रचनाओं को तैयार करने में भी इसकी अहम भूमिका होगी।”

चर्चा को आगे बढ़ते हुए मशहूर गीतकार, संगीतकार, प्रोड्यूसर एवं बंटी बैंस प्रोडक्शंस के सीईओ, बंटी बैंस ने कहा, “सॉन्ग कैंप के क्रिएटिव डायरेक्टर और क्यूरेटर के रूप में कोलैब का हिस्सा बनना वाकई बेहद फायदेमंद अनुभव रहा है। कलाकारों ने अपना बेमिसाल हुनर दिखाने के अलावा एक- सरे के सांस्कृतिक प्रभावों को भी अपनाया है, और ऐसा म्यूज़िक तैयार किया है जिसमें भारतीय और कोरियाई विरासतों का खूबसूरत मेल दिखाई देता है। सीमाओं के बंधन से परे कुछ नया तैयार करने की स्वच्छंदता की वजह से बेमिसाल रचनाएँ तैयार हुई हैं, जो परंपरा को बिल्कुल नए जमाने के शब्दों व सुरों के साथ जोड़ती हैं। तैयार किए गए गीत सही मायने में अलग-अलग तरह की प्रतिभाओं और उनके बेजोड़ तालमेल को दर्शाते हैं, जो कोलैब को परिभाषित करने के साथ-साथ गुणवत्ता और क्रिएटिविटी के मामले में उम्मीद से बढ़कर हैं।”

IPRS के सीईओ, श्री राकेश निगम ने अपने विचार व्यक्त करते हुए कहा, “मैं मानता हूँ कि असली और प्रभावशाली म्यूज़िक ऐसे माहौल में तैयार होता है, जहाँ कलाकारों को खुलकर प्रयोग करने की आजादी हो और उन पर हिट म्यूज़िक बनाने का कोई दबाव नहीं हो। इस सहज और सहयोगपूर्ण भावना के साथ, कलाकारों ने ऐसे गीत तैयार किए हैं जो सचमुच प्रेरणादायक और आशाओं से भरे हैं।”

उन्होंने आगे कहा, “मैं इस पहल का शुक्रगुजार हूँ, जिसके बारे में विचार करने पर मुझे उम्मीदों से भरा भविष्य दिखाई देता है। सच कहूँ तो यह अनुभव मेरी उम्मीद से बढ़कर है, और मैं आने वाले समय में इस सफ़र को जारी रखने, उभरते कलाकारों को और ज़्यादा अवसर प्रदान करने और पूरी दुनिया में म्यूज़िक के क्षेत्र में योगदान देने वाले संबंधों को बढ़ावा देने के लिए पूरी तरह तैयार हूँ।”

मुंबई में कोलैब के श्रवण सत्र के साथ न केवल बेमिसाल सहयोग पर आधारित इस कार्यक्रम का समापन हुआ, बल्कि भारत और दक्षिण कोरिया के बीच कला के क्षेत्र में एक नई साझेदारी की भी शुरुआत हुई। IPRS और KOMCA ने इस तरह की पहलों के ज़रिये दोनों संस्कृतियों के बीच सार्थक आदान-प्रदान को बढ़ावा देना जारी रखा है, जबकि कोलैब ने उभरते कलाकारों को पहचान दिलाने और ऐसे संबंध बनाने की राह आसान कर दी है, जो दुनिया के मंच पर उनके संगीत को ऊँचा स्थान दिला सके।
