MUSIC AND VM TRAVELLING THROUGH TIME

Beautifully sung and played here, 1st Trumpet solo is by Nat Gonella, a regular with Lew Stone's Band until he left to form Nat Gonella and his Georgians in about 1935.

This man started generations of using that trumpet sample.

Think about it.

This man inspired the Imperial March/Darth Vader's theme and many more hits.

That is truly extraordinary

But there is more to it

Feel it

Vocal by the great Al Bowlly (he passed away 9 years after the release of this song due to a heavy bombing attack on London by the German Reich.)Co-written by Bing Crosby.

My woman,

Is as mean as she can be

My woman,

She makes a fool of me

Never treats me good

Don't know why I should love her

She's lying when she says I love you

I know it but what am I to do

Though she makes me cry, I don't care for I love her

Once I laughed and loved for it all wrong

Then she came along like a new song

Now I sing a blue song

My woman,

Has a heart of stone

Not human, but she might be my own

Till the day I die, I'll be loving my woman

2nd Your Girl by  White Town / Jyoti Prakash Mishra

Just tell me what you've got to say to me

I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth

It comes as no surprise at all you see

So cut the crap and tell me that we're through

Now, I know your heart, I know your mind

You don't even know you're being unkind

So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways

Just use me up and then you walk away

Boy, you can't play me that way

Well, I guess what you say is true

I could never be the right kind of girl for you

I could never be your woman

I could never be your woman

I could never be your woman

I could never be your woman

When I saw my best friend yesterday

She said she never liked you from the start

Well me, I wish that I could claim the same

But you always knew you held my heart

And you're such a charming, handsome man

Now I think I finally understand

Is it in your genes?

I don't know

But I'll soon find out, that's for sure

Why did you play me this way?

Well I guess what you say is true

I could never be the right kind of girl for you

I could never be your woman

I could never be your woman

I could never be your woman

Ho, I could never be your woman

3rd Love Again by Dua Lipa

I never thought that I would find a way out

I never thought I'd hear my heartbeat so loud

I can't believe there's something left in my chest anymore

But goddamn, you got me in love again

I used to think that I was made out of stone

I used to spend so many nights on my own

I never knew I had it in me to dance anymore

But goddamn, you got me in love again

Show me that heaven's right here, baby

Touch me, so I know I'm not crazy

Never have I ever met somebody like you

Used to be afraid of love and what it might do

But goddamn, you got me in love again

So many nights, my tears fell harder than rain

Scared I would take my broken heart to the grave

I'd rather die than have to live in a storm like before

But goddamn, you got me in love again

Show me that heaven's right here, baby

Touch me, so I know I'm not crazy

Never have I ever met somebody like you

Used to be afraid of love, and what it might do

But goddamn, you got me in love again

I can't believe, I can't believe

I finally found someone

I'll sink my teeth in disbelief

'Cause you're the one that I want

I can't believe, I can't believe

I'm not afraid anymore

Goddamn, you got me in love again

I never thought that I would find a way out

I never thought I'd hear my heartbeat so loud

I can't believe there's something left in my chest anymore

Oh, goddamn, you got me in love again

I can't believe, I can't believe

I finally found someone

I'll sink my teeth in disbelief

'Cause you're the one that I want

I can't believe there's something left inside my chest anymore

But goddamn, you got me in love again

वाणीका श्रृंङ्गार ही सच्चा श्रृंङ्गार | भाग - ५

कबहुँ मन बिश्राम न मान्यो।

निसिदिन भ्रमत बिसारि सहज सुख, जहँ तहँ इंद्रिन तान्यो।।

जदपि विषय-सँग सह्मो दुसह दुख, विषम जाल अरूझान्यो।

तदपि  न  तजत  मूढ़   ममताबस, जानतहूँ  नहिं   जान्यो।।

जनम  अनेक  किये  नाना  बिधि  करम-कीच  चित  सान्यो।

होइ   न   बिमल   बिबेक-नीर-बिनु, वेद   पुरान   बखान्यो।।

निज  हित नाथ  पिता  गुरु  हारिसों  हरषि  हदै नहिं आन्यो।

तुलसीदास  कब तृषा  जाय सर  खनतहिं  जनम सिरान्यो।।

केयूराणि न भूषयन्ति पुरुषं हारा न चन्द्रोज्ज्वला न स्न्नानं न विलेपनं न कुसुमं नालङ्कृता मूध्र्र्दजाः।

वाण्येका समलक्ङरोति पुरुषं या संस्कृता धार्यते क्षीयन्ते खलु भूषणानि सततं वाग्भूषणं भूषणम्।।

प्रायः मनुष्य समाजमें आदर, मान-सम्मान चाहता है। सम्मान पाने के लिए वह शारीर का शृङ्गार आदि भी करता है। अनेक आभूषण, सुन्दर वेशभूषा धारण करता है, किंतु यदि वाणी में कड़ुवाहट है, तीखापन है तो कोई भी शृङ्गार मानुष को आदर तथा स्नेह नहीं दिला सकता। वाणी की कटुता उससे तिरस्कार और उपेक्षा का पात्र बना देती है।

बातचीत में मधुरता न हो, बोलने के तौर-तरीके में कटुता हो तो अनेक प्रकार के आभूषणों से सुसज्जित मनुष्य को किसीसे भी आदरपूर्ण-व्यहवार की आशा नहीं करनी चाहिये। मीठा बोलनेसे  ही बदले में मीठा व्यहवार मिलता है।

सुन्दर बाजूबंद, चाँदनी-सा चमकीला मोतियों का हार, सुवासित जलका स्न्नान, चन्दनका लेप, पुष्पहार, केशों का सुन्दर अवगुण्ठन आदि सभी शृङ्गार-प्रसाधन मनुष्य के  शरीर की ऐसी शोभा के कारण अवश्य बन सकते हैं, जिन्हें देखकर इन गहनों को धारण करनेवाला शायद अपनेको ऊँचा मानने लगे, अहम्मनय हो जाये, किंतु ऐसे अहंकार का हेतु वह शृङ्गार उसे समाजमें शोभास्पद स्थान नही दिला सकता। अतः इन मूल्यवान् रत्नोंको सच्चा आभूषण नही कह सकते। इन आभूषणोंकी चमक-दमक नश्वर है, इनका कोई मूल्य नहीं।

मनुष्यका सच्चा आभूषण तो मधुर वाणी ही है। यदि व्यक्ति सुनृतावाक्सम्पन्न है तो उसे अन्य किसी भी आभूषण की आवश्यकता नहीं है। हितकर, मधुर, सत्य एवं प्रिय वाणी ही उसे सब प्रकार से भूषित कर देती है। अतः प्रत्येक मनुष्यके लिये उचित है कि वह वाणी में मिठास लाने का प्रयत्न करे।

UNSUNG LEGACY OF MAHARAJA PRITHVI PATI SHAH OF GARHWAL KINGDOM - IMMORTAL RAJPUTS

Unsung legacy of a hero and inspiring Journey of Swasti Shri 1008 Badrish Charya Prayana Garh-Rajya Mahi Mahendra Dharam, Vaibhav Dharam Rakshah Shiromani Shri 108 Maharaja Prithvi Pat Shah Sahib Bahadur, Maharaja of Garhwal. b. at Srinagar, 1624, son of Swasti Shri 1008 Badrish Charya Prayana Garh-Rajya Mahi Mahendra Dharam, Vaibhav Dharam Rakshah Shiromani Shri 108 Maharaja Mahipat Shah "Garva Bhanjan", Maharaja of Garhwal, by his wife, Maharani Karnavati, http://lifeispreciousnotrace.blogspot.com/2020/08/garhwal-rani-karnawati-parmar-immortal.html?m=1 

Succeeded on the death of his father, July 1631. Reigned under the regency of his mother, until he came of age and assumed full ruling powers, ca. 1642. He invited the Jesuit padres in 1648, allotting them some land to cultivate orchards.

The interaction of Garhwal king Prithvi Pati Shah with the Mughals occurred continuously throughout his rule but one major altercation occured after Shah Jahan was taken ill in 1657. Shah Jahan declared Dara Shikoh as his heir but other sons, namely Shah Suja, Murad and Aurangzeb, who all wanted to sit on the throne of Delhi, did not like it. Aurangzeb put his father and brother Murad in prison and declared himself the emperor of India. He sent a battalion to Lahore to capture Dara Shikoh. Aurangzeb wanted all claimants to the throne to be eliminated, He ordered Mirza Raja Jai Singh Kachwaha to bring Sulaiman Shikoh, Son of Prince Dara Shikoh.

But Raja Jai Singh went against Aurangzeb's orders and told Sulaiman Shikoh to take refuge in "Garhwal". Suleman Shikoh, son of Dara Shikoh, who was in Allahabad, came to know about Aurangzeb’s intentions and on the advice of King Jai Singh, who was his local guardian, marched towards Srinagar in Parui Garhwal. Though King Jai Singh deceived him on the way, Suleman still made it to Srinagar. Aurangzeb on learning about Suleman’s whereabouts threatened the Garhwal king to hand over him or he would capture Pataldun or Bhabhar.

The history of Garhwali Rajputs is always under- discussed, they were the ONLY INDEPENDENT HOUSE when the rest were conquered, Rulers of Garhwal were Parmar/Pal Clan of Rajputs. Perhaps the only Unconquered Rajput clan of North India. Kingdom of Garhwal was never under Mughals, thus making it sovereign hence the rule of the Emperor was halted on the borders of Garhwal. After that Unchallenged Rule of Parmar Rajputs began. 

Perhaps this might be the reason why Raja Jai Singh recommended Garhwal, not any other kingdom. When Sulaiman Shikoh took refuge, the king was Prithivipat Shah, he assured Sulaiman Shikoh of his safety and was ready to take even face the brutal "Shahi" army of Aurangzeb. He granted refuge to Prince Sulaiman Shikoh in 1659 and refused to give him up, until his son did so 

Aurangzeb provided all assistance of army and cannons to Raja Rajswaroop of Jammu and ordered him to attack Garhwal from the North and he also conspired with Chand King of Kumaon to attack Garhwal from the south.

One reason why he chose the Rajputs of Jammu and Kumaon over the Rajputs of Bundelkhand, Purvanchal, Punjab, Gujrat, and Rajasthan can be that Garhwalis unlike them were Pahadi Rajputs, people of the plains would fail miserably against them. So choosing Pahadi Rajputs against other Pahadi Rajputs was a good plan. But despite all of this he failed.

Accounts vary, but apparently, Jai Singh convinced a minister to poison Sulaiman. However, the plot was discovered and the minister was executed.

Later frustrated Aurangzeb, forced Raja Jai Singh to write a letter to Prithivipati Shah a "Farman".

In that Farman Raja Jai Singh advised Prithivipati Shah to hand over Sulaiman to Aurangzeb, otherwise, he would face the wrath of the emperor. In response to this "Threatful" letter which was then written on the order of the most dangerous man of the Indian Subcontinent,

The King of Garhwal "Laughed" and said, "let him (Aurangzeb) know that he who could cut off noses could equally cut off heads." Later Jai Singh sent his son and the heir Kunwar Ram Singh to convince the King of Garhwal, Kunwar Ram Singh was welcomed by the king with great warmth.

But when Kunwar Ram Singh asked about Sulaiman, MahaRaja Prthivipati Shah Replied "Son, I will protect my refugee until my dying breath". But Unfortunately, Where Gates of Garhwal were too strong, but those within it were disloyal.

Now, Prince Medini Shah of Garhwal began plotting against Sulaiman; perhaps Jai Singh got to him or he desired to end Garhwal’s tribulations. In late 1660, Jai Singh sent his son Ram Singh to Garhwal, bearing the Emperor’s dire threats. These new developments, and the emerging alliance of Ram Singh and Medini Shah, forced Sulaiman to attempt escaping to Ladakh. However, he was captured by Medini Shah’s men and handed over to the Mughals. while Maharaja Prithvi Shah was fighting against the Kumaonis. The enraged king now recouped power and Anguished King Prithivipatishah BANISHED his only son out of Garhwal, Kunwar Medini Shah — he soon died a refugee in Mughal land and the Kingdom of Garhwal was passed to Swasti Shri 1008 Badrish Charya Prayana Garh-Rajya Mahi Mahendra Dharam, Vaibhav Dharam Rakshah Shiromani Shri 108 Maharaja Fateh Shah Sahib Bahadur, Maharaja of Garhwal. b. at Srinagar, 1632, son of Shri Shri Shri Shri Shri Tikka Medni Shah Sahib Bahadur.

 

But Garhwal never bowed to Turk Luteras, and "Garud Dhwaj" never flew under Mughal Sigil And this "Veer Gaatha" will never be recited by the Left because Garhwal was never under Turk Lutere Mughals nor by the Right because the Garhwal was never under the so-called Great Maratha Empire.

But what sort of "Kshatriya Dharam" which Prithvi PatiShah was following? He fought Hindus to protect a Muslim. This was never his fight, yet he fought like his own. This is something which .....

RAJ KAREGA RAJPUT

.

With an eagle sweep and a tiger's spring

Here was a palace of dwelling king

Now to its turrets creeping plants clinge

The INS Rajput R-class was commissioned in 1949 and was the first destroyer class of the Indian Naval Forces transferred from the Royal Navy after WW2 in 1948.

The 3 old British R-class destroyers HMIS Rajput(ex HMS Rotherham), Rana (ex Redoubt) & Ranjit (ex Raider) were bought in 1948 and commissioned in 1949 as the 11 Destroyer Sqn. Their acquisition, refits/upgrades cost the Royal Indian Navy some £1.045mil .

INS Rajput (D209), WW2 era R-class escort destroyer during fleet exercises

It is also First Indian Naval Ship to be affiliated with Indian Army regiment the Rajput Regiment. INS Rajput is credited with sinking Pakistani submarine Ghazi during the 1971 war. He is the one spooked PNS Ghazi while she laying her mines..

PNS Ghazi, the best submarine enemy had at that time tried to destroy Indian Navy Aircraft Carrier INS Vikrant, but instead Indian Navy Destroyer INS Rajput dispatched the sub to hell.

"With the motto 'Raj Karega Rajput' firmly etched in their minds and indomitable spirit, the gallant crew of INS Rajput have remained ever vigilant and always 'on call' to protect the maritime interest and sovereignty of the nation,"

(The starboard propeller of the PNS Ghazi.)

Afaik, in post WW II, Indian Navy became the first Navy in the world to kill a sub successfully.

 In the finale, PNS Ghazi keeps hunting for Indian Navy Aircraft Carrier INS Vikrant, from Karachi to Chennai and now Vishakhpatnam. Pns Ghazi was already resupplied and refuelled, moved out of Trincomalee harbour on the evening of 23 November 1971. She was off Chennai from 25-27 November and then headed for Vishakhpatnam. She approached Vishakhpatnam harbour at 2200 hours on the night of 29 November and entered the navigation channel at 2345 hours on the night of 1 December. But the option for the Ghazi to enter a Vishakhpatnam harbour, and to target and destroy the Vikrant with her torpedoes at the outset of the war. This appeared to be the best option. The only problem was how long could the Ghazi remain undiscovered in a harbour where a lot of activity took place every day. Also, the depth of the navigational channel did not allow her to go closer than 2.1 nautical miles from the south breakwater of the harbour. She could not go further into the harbour because the minimum submergible depth for a submarine was 15 metres and the margin was too small for a big submarine like the Ghazi.

Indian Navy Aircraft Carrier Ins Vikrant.

So its Commander decided to let the Ghazi stay where she was and to destroy the Vikrant from her present position. The timing of the attack, the method to be used and the location from where she would destroy the Vikrant were finalised in their wardroom. The radar officer confirmed that the large blip on the radar was the Vikrant; the torpedo and gunnery officer confirmed that all drills had been rehearsed. But the medical officer declared that obnoxious fumes had polluted the air in the submarine to dangerous levels, posing a threat not only to the health if the crew but also to the submarine. The hydrogen content was far above accepted levels due to the batteries being old and decrepit. He recommended that the Ghazi should be surfaced to take in fresh air. his Commander knew the importance of surfacing and how much it was necessary to avoid the imminent danger of the Ghazi self-destructing. On 3 December, the advisories to mercantile shipping and civil sir traffic, issued two days earlier had made it clear that Pakistan was on the verge of going to war and that evening, at 5:45 p.m., the Pakistan Air Force would attack Indian Airfields. The earliest that the Ghazi could surface was after dark, when hopefully there would be no fishermen around. He decided to wait until dark. But at around 1700 hours, he was informed by the executive and medical officer that the air within the submarine in the engine room had got really bad and had crossed danger level, and that one if its sailors had been knocked unconscious. 

In fading light there would be fewer chances of the Ghazi being spotted. In the meanwhile, tensions within the crew of the Ghazi were on the rise. The air was getting fetid. Many were coughing, and their eyes were getting affected. At around 1800 hours, Captain gave orders for the Ghazi to surface to periscope level and decided to survey the area around before contemplating any further action. The Ghazi was brought up from the deep to 27 feet below the surface of the sea for an assessment of the scene. Zafar had planned to charge the batteries and bring in fresh air 9 meters below the surface, with a snorkel pipe raised to suck in air to run the diesel engines, charge the batteries and rejuvenate the air inside the boat. Orders were given by the Officer of the Watch for water to be pumped out of the ballast tanks. As the water got pumped out, the board would become lighter and would gradually make its way to the surface. The tanks on both sides of the Ghazi-  port and starboard had to empty simultaneously so that the Ghazi could surface on an even keel. The Ghazi was 15 fathoms beneath the Sea, and the Officer of the Watch was giving the countdown as the Ghazi gradually moved to the surface. But Officer of the Watch stopped when the periscope broke through the surface of the sea 9 meters below the surface, at 1.5 fathoms. It's Captain was looking through the eyepiece of the periscope- he noticed a large Indian naval patrol vessel heading in their direction.

He immediately gave orders for the Ghazi to dive. She managed to get below just in the nick of time, so close that the patrol vessel passed over the Ghazi. They had no other option than wait. The medical officer, came once again to say that the situation was very bad and that it was imperative that the boat surface as early as possible but caprain informed him of the danger of being discovered and destroyed, and said that the earliest it would be safe to surface would be around midnight and so it was decided that the Ghazi would surface around the midnight of 3- 4 December 1971, charge the batteries, have the air pumped out of the submarine and fresh air inducted, and having carried out its maintenance task, go down once again at 0400 hours on 4 December to position itself to destroy the Vikrant.

Unbeknown to gahzi Captain, at 1745 hours on 3 December 1971, the Pakistan Air Force attacked Indian airfields in Ambala, Uttarlai, Jodhpur, Pathankot, Srinagar and Avantipur and so India and Pakistan were already at war! Ghazi was already late. Vice Admiral Muzzaffar Hassan, the Pakistani Naval Chief, was pacing up and down in his office in Karachi, waiting for news from Ghazi that he had destroyed the Vikrant, but there was no communication from the Ghazi. The moment for the Ghazi had arrived and there was no news from the Ghazi. 

Shortly before midnight, there was a tremendous explosion in the waters of Vishakhpatnam harbour. The explosion shattered the windowpanes of the houses that faced the harbour. However, it was not the Vikrant that had been blown up. Something else had happened. On the afternoon of 4 December, some fishermen brought objects from the sea that happened to be the debris of the Ghazi, which had surfaced from the bottom of the sea. Putting two and two together, the Commander of the naval station of Vishakhpatnam came to the conclusion that the Ghazi had come into the harbour of Vishakhpatnam and had self-destructed and the biggest twist in the story is that the Vikrant was never in Vishakhpatnam. She was in fact somewhere else. 

INS Rajput, an obsolete destroyer about to be decommissioned, was performing the role of a decoy ship, simulating signal traffic for rations, fuel for the aircraft aboard the Vikrant and fuel for the Vikrant itself, conveying to ‘all who were listening’ that the Vikrant was in Vishakhpatnam harbour, whereas she was in a secure harbour in the Andaman and Nicobar islands! These messages were in low-grade cipher, allowing the Pakistanis to break the code and be deceived as to the actual situation.

The engineers on the Vikrant, meanwhile, managed to do a great job in getting the recalcitrant boiler into reasonable shape, allowing the Vikrant to work up a reasonable speed that allowed its aircraft yo take off from its deck to support operations against the ports of Khulna and Chittagong and so, the Vikrant redeemed itself in carrying out its legitimate role in giving air cover for naval and ground operations in the eastern theatre.

Today, the Ghazi lies at 17 degrees, 41 minutes, 05.7 seconds north; and 83 degrees, 21 minutes, 04.7 seconds east; and is 2.1 nautical miles from the South Breakwater at a depth of 20.4 metres. Indian naval divers, who went down to the wreck that day after the sinking confirmed that it was in fact the Ghazi that lay at the bottom of the sea. They reported that the submarine had been ripped apart from the conning tower to the snub, indicating that she had self-destructed due to an internal explosion. The cause was not known, but indications were that this had happened due primarily to the detonation of combustible gas, as there had been similar instances with submarines of other navies worldwide around that time. If, as it had been reported, the Ghazi had been blown up on its own mines that it was laying, then the bottom of the submarine would have been ripped apart, which, according to the divers, was not the case. With hindsight, it can be presumed that at around the midnight of 3 December, as the Ghazi attempted to surface, a spark from one of the batteries ignited the volatile gas within the submarine, and the Ghazi blew up in an explosion the plan of the Commander-in-Chief, Pakistan Navy, and Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Muzzaffar Hassan, had backfired.

The bridge windshield of PNS Ghazi recovered by the Indian Navy after she went down along with her complement of officers and men.

The Americans offered to recover the Ghazi on grounds that it was an American submarine given to Pakistan on lease and that they therefore had the right to recover it. India refused permission stating that the Ghazi had entered the Indian territorial waters illegally and was destroyed after Pakistan had attacked India.

Admiral N Krishnan showing a clock recovered from PNS Ghazi to Hon President of India Shri VV Giri.

The Ghazi’s presence during the war in Vishakhapatnam harbour, India said, was an act of war, which made her a ‘war trophy’ and therefore the property of the Indian Government. So, the permission to recover her could not be given. The Pakistan Navy offered to recover the Ghazi on the basis that it was her vessel. This request was turned down for the same reasons that were given to the Americans.

Nation is Proud of the INS RAJPUT and the affiliated regiment to which it belong....he may become old and outdated yet can't be ignored as the punch remains as powerful as it was....Never mind the age....Shall continue to serve the motherland as hithertofore....

SHRI RUKMINI KUND - IMMORTAL RAJPUTS

बिलासपुर जिला मुख्यालय से करीब २८-२९ किमी दूर औहर क्षेत्र पड़ता है। वहीं उसी क्षेत्र में एक स्थान है रूकमणी कुंड जो कि आसपास के इलाकों ही नहीं बल्कि पड़ोसी जिलों के लोगों के लिए भी आस्था का केंद्र है। यह स्थान एक जलाशय के रूप में है जो कि पथरीली पहाड़ियों के बीच है।

हजारों साल पहले की बात है कि इस इलाके में बहुत बड़ा सूखा पड़ा । फसलें सूख गईं । पानी के स्त्रोत सूख गए ।लोगों में हाहाकार मच गया । इलाके के लोगों ने गांव के बड़े राजपूत जमीदार से मिलकर गुहार लगाई थी .....चलो कहीं दूसरी जगह चल पड़ते हैं । जहां पीने को पानी मिले । यहां तो पशु भी पानी के बिना हाहाकार कर रहे हैं ।जमीदार ने कहा.... ठीक है । जैसे आप कहेंगे वैसे करेंगे। फिर वह खामोश रहा । अपने बुजुर्गों की भूमि छोड़ने का उसका मन नहीं कर रहा था । ऊधर गांव के लोग लगातार उसे गांव छोड़ने का दबाव डाल रहे थे ।

एक रात उसे सपना आया कि यदि वह अपने बड़े बेटे की बलि देगा तो सूखा खत्म हो जाएगा । आसमान से बादल बरसने लगेंगे । सब तरफ हरियाली छा जाएगी । पानी के स्रोतों में पानी आ जाएगा । यह सपना देख कर जमीदार पसीने पसीने हो गया । उसका सपना टूट गया । वह उठ कर बैठ गया । उसने अपने सपने की बात लोगों से सांझा की ।

उसके बेटे ने कहा कि यदि मेरे बलि देने से गांव में सूखे का प्रकोप समाप्त होता है, तो उसे खुशी होगी । तभी उसकी बहू जो अपने मायके तरेड़ गांव गई हुई थी ,वह अपने ससुराल वापस आ गई । उसे पता चल गया था कि सूखे के कारण लोग गांव छोड़कर कहीं दूसरी जगह जाना चाहते हैं । अपने घर पहुंच कर उसने अपने आंगन में लोगों को इकट्ठे हुए देखा । अपने ससुर को चिंतित भी देखा । उसे भी पिछली रात वैसा ही सपना आया था । जैसे उसके ससुर को आया था । उसने ससुर के मन की बात को भांप लिया । उसका नाम रुकमणी था । रुकमणी ने ससुर से कहा कि आप क्यों चिंता करते हैं ? मैं भी आपके बेटे की तरह हूं । बड़ी हूं । मैं अपना बलि देने के लिए तैयार हूं । मेरी बली दीजिए । मुझे खुशी खुशी होगी यदि मेरी बलि से गांव में सूखे का प्रकोप समाप्त हो जाए ।

आखिर उसकी बात मानी गई । रुकमणी को नई नवेली दुल्हन की तरह सजाया गया और उसे बलि के लिए ले जाया जाने लगा । सतलुज नदी के किनारे ऊपर रपैड़ गांव में बलि देने के लिए उसे डोली में बिठाकर ले जाने की तैयारी हुई ।

जब उसे बलि के लिए ले जाया जाने लगा तो अपशकुन होने लगे । दिन में सियार रोने लगे तो कौओं की बोली करकस हो गई । कुत्ते रोने लगे । जानवर रोने लगे ।

तब रुक्मिणी ने कहा ......अरे जंगली जानवरों तुम ऐसी बोली मत बोलो । मैं तो अपनी बलि देने जा रही हूं ताकि सूखे का प्रकोप समाप्त हो जाए । आखिर उसे बलि वाले स्थान पर ले जाया गया । राज मिस्त्रियों ने एक दीवार में उसे चिनना शुरू कर दिया ।

तब रुक्मणी ने कहा .... उसके पांव नंगे रखना ताकि इन पांव में उसकी सखियां मेहंदी लगा सके । जब राजमिस्त्री दीवारें उसके छाती तक लेकर आ गए तो उसने कहा था की छात्ती नंगी रखना ताकि उसका बेटा दूध पी सके । और जब चिनाई उसके सिर तक पहुंच गई । राजमिस्त्री दीवार चिनते हुए ऊपर पहुंचे तो उसने कहा ..... कि उसके बालों को नंगे रखना ताकि उसके बालों को उसकी सहेलियां संवार सके ।

इस तरह उसने लोगों की भलाई के लिए , समाज के कल्याण के लिए , अपनी बलि दे दी ।

कहते हैं उस समय उसकी छाती से दूध की धार बह गई जो बाद में पानी में परिवर्तित हो गई । देखते-देखते सारा सूखा खत्म हो गया । सब तरफ हरियाली छाने लगी ।पानी के स्त्रोत भर उठे । रुकमणी रपैड़ गांव की थी जो कि सतलुज नदी के समीप था । तरेड़ गांव के लोग इस रुक्मणी कुंड का पानी नहीं पीते थे । वो कहते थे कि यह पानी हमारी बेटी के बलिदान के कारण निकला है । इसे हम नहीं पिएंगे ।

आज भी हर वर्ष वैशाखी के त्यौहार के उपलक्ष में रुक्मणी कुंड में बड़ा भारी मेला लगता है । दूर-दूर से लोग यहां स्नान करने आते हैं । यहां समीप की बगड़ घास को महिलाएं गूंथती हैं, जैसे सिरगुंदी कर रही हों । सिर के बाल गूंथ रही हों । यह सब रुकमणी की याद में किया जाता है । रुकमणी की याद में गीत गाए जाते हैं । रुकमणी दि सुद् सुपने आई ,बडि़यां-बलियां मंगदी पाइयो बडि़यां-बलियां मंगदी......।

रुक्मणी कुंड में पानी एक गुफा से निकलता है । यह पानी दर्जनों गांव की प्यास बुझाता है औहर गांव में सिंचाई के काम आता है । गुफा से लगातार निकलने वाला पानी रुक्मणी के बलिदान की कहानी बयान करता रहता है ।

It is story of Auhar region which was in trouble because of dearth of water despite their repeated efforts to dig a well. Once the Rajput Ruler of Barsandh had a dream that in case his son or daughter in law is offered as a sacrifice, water could come out. Legend is there that a newly married young lady named Rukmani of Taredh Village married to Rundh Family, Rajput ruler of Barsandh village, was buried alive by the side of the spot which was selected for digging a Baoli (Tank). The daughter-in-law, Rukmani offered herself in preference to her husband. She sacrificed her life and the present Rukmani Kund is a result of her courageous act. It is said that she was buried alive at the place where we have this Kund today.

According to Omacanda Hāṇḍā in Buddhist Art & Antiquities of Himachal Pradesh, Up to 8th Century A.D., such stories of Woman sacrifices were common instances in which women were sacrificed to Nāga Devta for the sake of water. Similar stories can be taken into consideration like Rupi Rani of Gushal Village in Lahul Valley, Rani Nayana of Raja Sahil Varman of Chamba, Bichi of Sirmaur and Kandi Rani of Kishtwar in Jammu who were sacrificed to Nāga Devta for the sake of water. Human Sacrifices to Nāga Devta has been one of the most conspicuous features of Austric Tribes.

Grass (baggad) hanging from the walls of the Kund is considered her hair. And it is there because of the magical power of the reservoir water. People tie ribbons, bangles to the grass to offer tribute to Rukmani. It is also believed that the waters of this reservoir can cure skin ailments. Shri Rukmani belonged to Auhar (erstwhile Tared Village) and even today people from Rukmani's village don't drink or bathe in the Kund's waters. Such is the pride they take in their daughter's sacrifice.
