Dnyansuryache Aakash: Sant Nivruttinath [Marathi]

By: Manjushri Gokhale

समाजाने वाळीत टाकलेल्या एका ज्ञानसंपन्न कुटुंबातील मोठा मुलगा, आईवडिलांनी देहांत प्रायश्चित्त घेतल्यावर ज्ञानदेवादी भावंडांचा सांभाळ करून त्यांच्या पाठीशी खंबीरपणे उभा राहणारा मोठा भाऊ आणि गुरू, गहिनीनाथांकडून नाथसंप्रदायाची दीक्षा घेणारा हठयोगी आणि भागवत संप्रदायाची ध्वजा पुन्हा एकदा सर्वसामान्यांपर्यंत नेण्यासाठी सर्व जातिजमातीतील संतांना एकत्र करण्याचा विचार करणाऱ्या ज्ञानदेवांना सक्रिय पाठिंबा देणारे गुरुवर्य.. अशा अनेक अर्थांनी निवृत्तिनाथांकडे पाहण्याचा प्रयत्न या कादंबरीत केला आहे. मात्र, लेखिकेला सर्वाधिक स्पर्शून गेले ते जीवनकार्य पूर्ण होताच एकामागून एक समाधी घेणाऱ्या धाकट्या भावंडांना निरोप द्यावा लागलेल्या निवृत्तीचे एकाकीपण. या अलौकिक व्यक्तिमत्त्वाकडे मानवी जाणिवेतून पाहणारी, मनाला भिडणारी कादंबरी. The novel presents Nivruttinath from many perspectives: as the eldest son of a learned family ostracized by society; as the devoted elder brother and guide who stood firmly behind his younger siblings-Dnyandev, Sopan, and Muktabai-after their parents accepted death as an act of atonement; as a Hatha Yogi initiated into the Nath tradition by Gahininath; and as the revered guru who actively supported Dnyandev's vision of bringing together saints from all castes and communities to carry the message of the Bhakti tradition to ordinary people once again. Above all, however, what touched the author most deeply was the profound loneliness of Nivruttinath, who had to bid farewell, one after another, to his younger siblings as they embraced samadhi after completing their life's mission. This is a deeply moving novel that portrays this extraordinary spiritual figure through a profoundly human lens, revealing the emotional depth behind his remarkable life.
