Do Baar Mila

Unki Baibal adhyayan se, Mosese Natuilagilagi ne nirdhaarit kiya ki Masihh ka sachcha Girjaghar Ono-e-Lau me sthaapit nahin kiya gaya tha, dakshinpoorvi Fiji me dveepon ka chota samooh jaha woh rehta tha. Girjaghar sevaon me bhaag lene ke bajaay, Mosese pratidin apne parivaar ko ikattha karta tha aur unhen Baibal se shiksha deta tha. “Is tarah ham andhere me rahe,”unke bete Joeli Kalougata ne bataya hua, jab tak ki ek aane waale chachere bhai ne chaaye se inkaar kiya, yah samajhaate hue ki unhen “Morman Girjaghar me bapatisma diya gaya tha.” Chachere bhai ne Mosese ko dikshanari me Mormon dekhne ke liye kaha. Jab Mosese ne “Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dinon ke Santon ka ko padha,” woh janta tha ki yahi woh Girjaghar hai jiski use talaash thee.

Apne chachere bhai ke sujhaav par, Mosese ne mishan president se sampark kiya, jisne Mormon Dharamshaastr aur anye saahity kee ek prati bheji. Unke dveep par koi nahin tha jo parivaar ko bapatisma de sake,unhonne us ordinens ko praapt karne ke liye Suva kee yaatra karne ke liye do saal kee taeyaari kee. 10 Disambar, 1973, Mosese; unki patni, Alisi Galuvakadua; aur unke teen bachche,Joeli, Panipasa Lomani, aur Alisi Baleibau, Uluilakebapar ravaana hue.

Chaar ghanto ke baad, ek chakravaat ne jahaaj ko palat diya. Sagar me doob gaya, Joeli ko ek anye yaatree ne dayaapurvak naariyal ka ek thaila diya. Joeli kee maa ne use dhoondh liya aur use baig se latakne ke liye kaha, kyonki isse uski jaan bach jaegee. Uske gaal choomane ke baad, woh apane bhai-bahanon kee talaash ke liye tair gai. Usne use phir kabhi nahin dekha. Ghanton tak woh laharon se ladata raha. Raat ho gai aur phir bhi woh bag se chipka raha. Use bachae jaane se pehle do aur din aur ek raat beet gai, bord par 120 me se kewal 35 jiwit bache logon me se ek. Joeli ko Suva ke aspataal me le jaaya gaya, jaha unhen pata chala ki unke parivaar ke sadasye mar chuke hain.

Joeli apni badi bahan ke ghar Viti Levu me rahane chala gaya. Uske parivaar ko Girjaghar me koi dilachaspee nahin thee. Joeli ko yaad aaya, “main apane parivaar ko khone se joojh raha tha aur soch raha tha ki mujhe akela kyon chhod diya gaya. Lekin main apane dil me un sachchaiyon ko liye hue tha jo mere maata-pita ne mujhe sikhaayi thee.” Usne aur kaha, “mujhe Ishu Masih aur Unki sachchi Girjaghar ke baare me apane pita kee gawahi hamesha yaad rahi.”

Durghatana ke do saal baad, mishan president ne Joeli kee khoj kee, lekin woh aur uska uttaraadhikaaree use khojne me asamarth the. 1985 me, Joeli shaadishuda thee aur Vanua Levu me rah rahi thee, jab ek varishth mishanari jode ne pucha ki kya woh Joeli Kalougata ko jaanta hai. “Ant me unhonne mujhe dhoondh liya tha!” Joeli ko yaad aaya. “Woh ek sundar samay tha.”

Woh aur uski patni, Elenoa, do dinon me chah mishanari paath praapt kiye, bapatisma hua, aur Nabua me ek choti see shaakha ka kendrak ban gaya. 1998 me, unhen Nuku’alofa Tonga Mandir me seel kar diya gaya tha aur us parivaar ke liye jo woh samudr me kho gaya tha mandir kee vidhiyon ko pura kiya tha. Suva Fiji Mandir ke nirmaan ke baad, Joeli aur Elenoa ko unke bachchon par seel kar diya gaya Joeli bolta hai, main ab apne parivaar ko dekhta hoon—mera anaant parivaar—aur mujhe yaad rakhne aur mere jiwan me susamaachaar ko waapas laane ke liye Prabhu ka dhanyevaad karta hoon .”
