Humare desh ka itihaas kitna gehra hai, iska andaaza kai baar ek chote se patthar se lag jaata hai. Aisa hi ek anmol patthar hai Halmidi Shasan (Halmidi Inscription), jo humein seedhe 1500 saal peeche le jaata hai. Karnataka ke Hassan jile mein Halmidi naam ke ek gaon mein 1936 mein Dr. M.H. Krishna ne isse khoja tha. Yeh koi mamuli shilalekh nahi, balki Kannada bhasha ka sabse purana likhit pramaan maana jaata hai, jiska samay 450 se 500 CE ke beech ka hai.
Patthar Par Likhi Ek Veer Gatha
Yeh shilalekh ek 4.5 feet lambe sandstone ke patthar par likha gaya hai. Iski 16 panktiyon mein ek poori kahani chupi hai. Iski shuruaat Bhagwan Vishnu ko samarpit ek Sanskrit shlok se hoti hai, jo uss samay ki adhyatmik aastha ko darshata hai.
Iske baad, lekh mein Kadamba aur Kekaya Pallava vansh ke beech hue yuddh ka zikr hai. Ismein Vija Arasa naam ke ek yoddha ki bahaduri ko salaam kiya gaya hai. Unki veerta ke inaam mein unhein Halmidi aur Mulivalli gaon tohfe mein diye gaye a. Yeh sirf ek prashansa patra nahi, balki uss daur ke samajik aur prashasanik jeevan ka ek aaina hai. Isse pata chalta hai ki uss samay bhasha, shaasan aur dharma kaise ek doosre se jude hue the.
Kannada Bhasha Ki Pehli Likhawat
Halmidi Shasan ka sabse bada mahatva iski bhasha mein hai. Yeh woh pehla bada saboot hai jab Kannada sirf bolne ki bhasha se nikal kar, shaasan aur prashasan ki bhasha bani. Isne Kannada ke liye ek likhit parampara ki neev rakhi, jis par aage chalkar itna vishaal sahitya khada hua. Iski lipi Brahmi se milti-julti hai aur isse ‘Purvada Halegannada’ ya pre-old Kannada kaha jaata hai. Yeh shilalekh Kannada bolne walon ke liye ek garv ka prateek hai, jo unki bhasha ki prachin jado ko saabit karta hai.
Apni Jado Se Judne Ka Ehsaas
Jab hum Halmidi Shasan jaisi dharohar ke baare mein padhte hain, toh mann mein apni sanskriti aur paramparao ke prati ek gehra sammaan jaagta hai. Uss shilalekh ki shuruaat mein Bhagwan Vishnu ka aahvaan humein yaad dilata hai ki shraddha aur adhyatmikta humari virasat ka hamesha se ek abhinn ang rahe hain.
Aaj ki bhaag-daud bhari zindagi mein, inhi paramparao ko jeevant rakhna thoda mushkil ho sakta hai. Par chinta mat kijiye! Poojn.in aapke saath hai. Hum aap tak bilkul authentic aur shuddh pooja samagri pahunchate hain, taaki aap apni pooja aur anushthan poori vishwas aur shanti se kar sakein. Humare sanskritik roop se mahatvapurna items aapko apni jado se judne mein madad karte hain.
Itihaas Ke Ansuljhe Panne
Itna kuch batane ke baad bhi, is shilalekh se judi kuch baatein abhi bhi itihaaskaro ke beech charcha ka vishay hain. Ek sawal yeh hai ki ismein zikr kiye gaye Raja Kakustha, Kadamba vansh ke the ya Bhatari parivar se. Aisi baatein iske adhyayan ko aur bhi dilchasp bana deti hain. Kuch vidwan maante hain ki unhe Tamatakallu jaise sthano par Halmidi se bhi purane lekh mile hain, parantu Halmidi Shasan ko abhi bhi sabse pramanik aur mahatvapurna maana jaata hai.
Aksar Pooche Jaane Wale Sawal
Aapke mann mein bhi is shilalekh ko lekar kuch sawal honge. Jaise ki, yeh ab kahan hai? Toh aapko bata dein ki iski ek aakarshak replica toh Halmidi gaon mein sthapit ki gayi hai, lekin asli shilalekh Mysore ke Puratatva Vibhag (Office of the Director of Archaeology and Museums) mein surakshit rakha gaya hai. Vidwano ne iski likhawat ko poori tarah se padh aur samajh liya hai, jisse hum itihaas ke is sunahre panne ko aaj padh paa rahe hain.
Toh agli baar jab aap Karnataka ke itihaas ke baare mein sochein, toh Halmidi Shasan ko zaroor yaad kijiyega. Yeh sirf ek patthar nahi, balki humari bhasha, sanskriti aur pehchan ka pehla dastavej hai.
