Mandir aur Parivaar ke Itihaas ka Kaarye—Ek aur Ek Hi Kaam

Us anubhav ne mujhe aur behtar saraahana karne kee anumati di hai ki kaise, teen saal kee kadi mehnat aur mahan balidaan ke baad, Kirtland, Ohio, me Santon ne antatah 1836 ke vasant me apne sundar mandir ko pura kiya—is yug me pahala. Usi varsh March me, mandir me ek hazaar se adhik log ekatr hue aur iske pravesh dvaaron par samarpan sewa ke liye. Profat Joseph Smith samarpit prarthana karne ke liye uth khade hue, jo unhonne revelaishan dwara praapt kiya tha(dekhiye Doctrine and Covenants 109). Ismen unhonne kai asaadhaaran ashirvaadon ka varnan kiya jo unhen diya jaata hai jo yogye roop se Prabhu ke mandiron me pravesh karte hai. Iske baad kwaaya ne “The Spirit of God” geet gaaya aur sabha ne diya Hosanna Shoutaise“ itne [bal ke saath] aisa lag raha tha … kee immaarat se chat uthaane waali hai” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 307).

Ek saptaah baad Profat ne mandir me Prabhu ke darshan ka varnan kiya, jinhonne kaha:

“Kyunki maine is ghar ko anumati di hai, aur hamaar naam iske saath rahi, aur hum apan logon ke apan ghar me daya dikhaega. …

“Aur is ghar ka maan baahari deshon tak faelega; aur yeh us ashirvaad ka shuruaat hai jon hamaar ladkan pe barsaaya jaai” (Doctrine and Covenants 110:7, 10).

Iske aur anye darshanon ke baad, profat Elijah, jise mrtyu ka swaad chakhe bina swarg me le jaaya gaya tha, Profat Joseph Smith aur Oliver Cowdery ke saamane prakat hua aur kaha:

“Elijah bolis, ab sahi samay aae ge hai, jon Malachi bolis raha—yah gawahi dete hue ki use [profat] [Elijah] ko bheja jaana chahiye, Prabhu ke uh bada aur daraone din se pehle—

“Taaki pitaaon ke dil bachchon ke or mudenge, aur bachchon ke dil pitaaon ke or mudenge, jab tak puri dharti shraapit na ho jaaye—

“Aur isliye, is yug ki chaabiyaan unhe di gayi hai, aur isse woh jaan jaaenge ki Prabhu ka bada aur daraona din nazdeek hai, haan bahut jaldi hone waala”(Doctrine and Covenants 110:14–16).

Prabhu dwara Joseph Smith ko seeling chaabiyon ko punahsthaapit karne ke baad, hamare yug me parde ke dono or uddhaar ka kaarye shuru hua (dekhiye 1 Corinthians 15:22, 29; Doctrine and Covenants 128:8–18).

President Boyd K. Packer ne sikhaaya kee is seegnal ghatna ko duniya ne upekcheet kar diya, lekin yah har us aatma kee niyati ko prabhaavit karega jo kabhi jiwit rahee hai ya jiwit rahegi. Cheezein chupchaap hone lageen. Girjaghar mandir-banaane waala girjaghar ban gaya.

“Duniya ke vibhinn hisson me cheezen dikhaee dene lagee, ek tarah se sahaj maana jaata hai, log aur sangathanein aur sansthaaen vanshaavalee(genealogies) ka pata lagaane me dilchaspi rakhate hain. Yeh sab Kirtland Mandir me Elijah ke prakat hone ke baad se hua hai” (The Holy Temple [1980], 141).

“Ussi din se, 3 April, 1836, bachchon ka dil apane pita kee or mudane laga. Iske baad dharamvidhiyaan asthaayee nahin, balki sthaayee the. Seeling adhikaar hamare saath thee. Koi praadhikaran ise mooly me paar nahin karta hai. Us vah shakti sabhee dharamvidhiyaan ko padaarth aur shaashvat sthaayitv pradaan karti jeevit aur mrt dono ke liye uchit adhikaar ke saath pradarshan kiya” (Preparing to Enter the Holy Temple [2002], 28).

Pyaari bhaaiyo aur bahano, mandiron ka nirmaan aur uchit upyog kisi bhee yug me Ishu Masih ke sachche Girjaghar ka ek chinh raha hai. 1893 me Salt Lake Mandir ke samarpan ke baad, President Wilford Woodruff ne Girjaghar ke sadasyon ko protsaahit kiya ki weh apane purvajon ke abhilekhon ko khojen aur jaha tak sambhav ho mandir me naam laane aur pradarshan karne ke liye apani vanshaavalee darj karen salvation aur exaltation ka ordinensas (dekhiye Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Wilford Woodruff [2004], 174).

Ek saal baad (1894), usee President Woodruff ne Utah Genealogical Society ke nirmaan ka nireekshan kiya. Ek sao saal baad, 1994 me Elder Russell M. Nelson jab Quorum kee Barah Devdut kee ek sadasye ne kaha, “Us itihaasik varsh kee ghatanaon ne paarivaarik itihaas anusandhaan aur mandir sewa ko sthaapit kiya ek kaam Girjaghar me” (“The Spirit of Elijah,” Ensign, Nov. 1994, 85).

Pyaare bhaaiyo aur bahano, Prabhu Apne Girjaghar ke sadasyon ke roop me hamen apane parivaar ke itihaas ko sanrakshit karne ke liye protsaahit karta hai, apane purvajon se sikhne ke liye, aur unke liye mandiron me susamaachaar kee vidhiyon ko praapt karne ke liye aavashyak vyavastha karna taaki unhen anubandh ke maarg par aage badhane me madad mil sake, jo unhen ek anant parivaar ke saath aasheeshit karega. Yah hamare Swarg ke Pita kee yojna ka mukhy phokas hai: is jiwan aur anant kaal ke liye parivaar ko ekajut karna.

Aap me se jo is kaam ko karne me saksham mehsoos nahin karte hai, aapko pata hona chahiye ki aap akele nahin hain. Ham sabhi un upakaranon kee or mud sakate hain jinhen Girjaghar ne taeyaar kiya hai aur jo parivaar khoj kendron me pae jaate hai, jise ham FamilySearch kendr ke roop me jaante the. In FamilySearch centers ko is tarah dizain kiya gaya hai ki lagbhag har koi bhee, thodee see madad ke saath, apne purvajon kee jaankaari paa sakta hai aur use Prabhu ke ghar le jaane ke liye sahi tarah taeyaar kar sakta hai. Kripya apne ward ya shaakha me paarivaarik itihaas salaahkaaron se sampark karein, jo har kadam par aapko maargdarshaenge.

Jaisa ki ham profats ke maargadarshan ka paalan karate hain aur sikhate hai ki apane parivaar ke itihaas ko kaise karna hai aur aur apane purvajon ke liye mandir kee vidhiyaan karna,ham is had tak mahan aanand ka anubhav karenge ki ham ise karna band nahin karna chahenge. Aatma hamare hrdayon ko bhar degee, ise karne ke liye hamari kshamataon ko jaagat karegi, aur hamara maargadarshan karen jab ham apane purvajon ke naamon kee khoj karte hai. Lekin hame yaad rakhna chahiye kee parivaar itihaas khali naam, taareekh, aur jagah khoje se aur zyaada hai. Yah parivaaron ko ek kar raha hai aur us aanand ko mehsoos kar raha hai jo unhen susamaachaar kee vidhiyon ko pradaan karne se aata hai .

Mujhe hamare priye profat, President Russell M Nelson kee prerit shiksha bahut pasand hai, jinhonne kaha hai:“ Mandir hamare vishwaas aur aadhyaatmik drdhata ko mazboot karne ka kendr hai kyunki Uddhaarkarta aur Uska dharamsiddhaant mandir ka sabse avashyak bhaag hai. Mandir me jo kuch bhi sikhaaya jaata hai, nirdesh aur Aatma ke maadhyam se, Ishu Masih ke baare me hamari samajh ko badhaata hai. Unke aavashyak dharamsiddhaant hamen pavitr purohiti vachano ke maadhyam se unse baandhate hain. Phir, jab hum apni vaachano ka paalan karte hain, to Woh hamein Apni changaee, mazboot karne waali shakti pradaan karta hai” (“The Temple and Your Spiritual Foundation,” Liahona, Nov. 2021, 93–94).

Nischit rup se, mandir ka kaarye aur parivaar ka itihaas Girjghar me ek hee kaarye hai.

Main is sachchaai ka gawahi deta hoon. Main jaanta hoon ki yah hamare Rakshak aur Prabhu Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar hai, jinhein ham is Eastar ke samay yaad karte hain aur unkee pooja karte hai. Main jaanta hoon ki Woh hamase prem karta hai, aur jab ham apane vachano ka paalan karte hai aur us par apna bharosa rakhte hai, to Woh hamen apani changaee aur saamarthy pradaan karta hai. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
