Religious and Mythological Folklores of Garhwal, Kumaon, Uttarakhand – 4 

                                        Bhishma Kukreti
                         Folklores on Lord Shiva in Non-Indian Territories
                There are classic literature and folk literature available about Lord Shiva in all parts of Jambudweep (India, before 1 B.C). For example, there are folktales and folk dances related to Shiva in Cambodia as the kings before Asoka era were Shaivya or Vaishnva. There are temples of Shiva of ancient time in Cambodia. 
            There are various types of temples and symbolic sculptures of Shiva in Thailand. There are folklores related to lord Shiva in Thai literature as ‘Cha Larm tri Pob’.
  St. Andrew and St. John provide the folklores of Burma or Myanmar about Lord Shiva (Indo Burmese Folklore, 1889).
 There are folklores/folktales related to lord Shiva in Javanese and Balinese cultures. Thaipusam festival in Malaysia is definitely related to folklore related to Lord Murugan son of Lord Shiva (Pierced by Murugan’s lance by Elizabeth Fuller, 1997).
 It is said that the Trusul folklore of Romani or European gypsies is related to Trident of lord Shiva.
Taking clue from Persian and Arabic pronunciation (Shiva=Hiva, Sindhu=Hindu, Asura=Ahura), a couple of scholars are of opinion that there are instances of Shiva in Old Iranian folk literature as in Zoroastrian literature.

  शिव गौरी विवाह प्रसंग
 हे शिव भगवानु लै की रथ बणायो
गुरु घिंगालीनाथ बणाया, तिन लोकी तिरसुलनाथ बणाया
तिरलोकी त्रिसूलनाथ गुरु हिमांल में बसा
तवी गुरु का भगवानु लै दियि हाली हतेंडली में तीन तला धरती
तब गुरु जप करनी
हात  में रुद्रांछ कि माला जपी दैनी हाल
तिरसूल बीराज्ये छ बौ आडुली गुरु
पंचचूली बैठ हिमांल हे पंच नाम देवतो
हे बरमा .  बिष्णु , चित्रगुप्त . भगवान हिया रचा
तब नारद रिखी जु थै कयो   होलो महादेव सिवजी को ब्याह
हे प्रजापाल की साटी चेली भया
तब सिव भगवानु लै धरो कलंगी को रूप
तब गया महादेव ज्यू प्रजापाल का घर
सबूं को मन लागौ हौरन कै
गौरी सब ज्येठी चेली को  मन महादेव लागो
तब शिव ज्यू का संग में भगवती गौरी महादेव को ब्या है गयो
महादेव ज्यू लै प्रजापाल कन ढोक नि दी कबेर
प्रजापाल को मन रीस लै भरी गयो

O Lord! What did you create new universe? He created Guru Ghigaali Nath, Trilokpati, Trishulnath. Trilokpati and Trishulnath started living in Himalaya. O guru! Then God he put three based earth on your palm. Then, Guru took long Samadhi. He took Rudraksh on right hand and started Jap and took Trident on left hand. The O Thirty three Crores deities! Panchdevta- Brahma, Vishny, Chitrgupt and shakti asked sage Narad ,” tell us the story of Shiva-marrigae”.
    Prajapti had sixty daughters. There was Swamvar of his daughters. Shiva went there as leprosy man. Other girls of Prajapti choose other deities as their husbands.  The eldest daughter Gauri loved Shiva. Shiva married Gauri.
             Mahdev did not salute Prajapati . Prajapati the father of Gauri became very angry. However, it was not possible for Shiva to salute as he is consumption god too.
     Prajapati thought to insult Shiva. Prajapati organized a Yagya to be run for twelve years and did not invite his eldest son in law Shiva.
                The heavenly chariots of goddesses and deities were making noise in the sky. Gauri asked Mahadev about the movement of chariots in the sky. Lord shiva disclosed that her father organized a twelve year Yagya but did not invite the, Gauri said,” it is not possible. Father should have invited me first and then others.”
Laughingly, Mahadev said,” If you don’t believe me you should go to your mother place.” 
Angrily Gauri went to her father’s place.
Prajapati was busy in sacrifice for Yagya.
Offering respect to her father, Gauri touched her father’s feet. Prajapati asked, “I never invited you. Why did you come here without my invitation?” Her mother also fired her for coming without invitation. The sisters also accused her coming to father’s Yagya without invitation. Gauri was feeling insult and guilty that she did not obey lord Shiva (her husband).  Gauri jumped into hot boiling oil pot and died.
Lord Mahadev saw Gauri in dream. She was repenting her disobeying the advice of Shiva. Lord Shiva came aware from Samadhi and fell sorry. He went to Prajapati place. Shiva started doing Tapa and Japa. Gauri’s soul showed sorry to Mahadev.  Gauri took new birth as daughter of Himalaya and married to Shiva.

            Both were quite old. Motiya was two hundred forty years old and Ganga was one hundred forty years old. One day, Ganga went to Naula (water source). Her women relatives were discussing about the distribution of Property Motiya-Ganga.
           Without speaking with women she returned back home. Ganga Saunyani was very much upset with relative behavior. In night, Ganga Saunyani saw dream. In dream she saw a Jogi (sage) who told her that they worshipped stones and rivers but they did not visit Jhankarsem, The Sage told Ganga Saunyani that when she and her husband would perform Jhankarsem they would get a son.  In dream, the sage to make her sure told that a rotten tree would be green by morning.
      In morning Ganga Saunyani and Motiya Saun saw that the tree was green. By looking at the tree both became young.
       Then both with all worshipping items, started journey towards Jhankar. They took with them the priest for performing animal sacrifice and drum player Dharma Das.
 They both performed ritual at the temple of Jhankarsem. After some time, they got a son.

   There has been classification of Garhwali folk songs including Ravain folk songs.
       
 Classification of Garhwali Traditional Songs: A Debate 

                                            Garhwali folk songs are so varied and are in such numbers that there had been debates and discussions for classifying Garhwali folk songs 
             
                     Taxonomy by Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna (1954):
             Analysis of Garhwali folk songs started by Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna:  Dhunyal (1954) is first work of analyzing and classifying the Garhwali Folk Song . Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna classified Garhwali Folk Songs on the following types:
1- Mangal (auspicious folk songs)
2-Kula char (Introducing and description of family tree related folk song)
3-Panwada (praising achievers folk song)
4-Khuded (sad folk song)
5-Jagar (Awakening songs sung in Ghadela folk song)
6-Tantra Mantra
7-Hori (Humrous and sung at Holi time folk song)
8-Chakhulya (Personification of animals folk song)
9-Naya Geet (New folk song)
  The main flow on this classification is that it is not analyzed on scientific basis but on conventional basis .
Classification by Dr Govind Chatak  (1956)
                  Dr Chatak is credited for doing depth research, study in collection and analyzing Garhwali folk songs. Dr Chatak classified Garhwali songs on the basis of local names as he accepted in introduction of his classic book ‘Garhwali Lok Geet’ and he classified the Garhwali folk songs on the following divisions:
1-Puja Geet (prayer and worshiping of deities/goddesses)
2-Mangal (Auspicious)
3-Prem, Roop, Ras (Love folk songs)
4-Chhopati folk song
5-Laman folk song
6-Vasanti (Spring folk song)
7-Bajuband folk song
8-Dampatya Jeewn ( Family life folk song)
9-Khuded folk song
10-Chhuda folk song
11-Samajik Geet folk songs
12-Vividh Geet or varied folk song
                       Classification by Dr Mohan Babulakar
           Dr Babular (1967) classified Garhwal Folk Song as below in his famous boo ‘Garhwali Lok Sahitya ka Vivechanatmak Adhyayan’ :
1-Sanskaron ke geet
2-Devi Devta stuti , Tyoharon ke Geet
3-Khuded geet
4-Ritu (season) and Virah (pain of separation)
5-samuhik Gey geet (group or community songs)
6-Tantra Mantra Geet
7-Laghu geet (short songs)
8-Jatiyon ke geet (songs created and sung by specific class)
                    Classification by Dr Hari Datt Bhatt ‘Shalilesh
                  In his book ‘Garhwali Bhasa aur uska Sahitya’ ,  (1964)D Bhatt bifurcated the folk songs of Garhwal into following categories:
1-Mangal: k-Awhahan Geet. Kh-Puja geet, G-Vivah Geet, H-Loriyan (very rare),
2-Jhumailo: (sad and Love folk songs): K-Jhumailo folk songs, Kh-Chhopati folk songs, G-Laman folk songs
3-Thadya ya Vasanti geet 1- Vasnti 2-Hori folk songs
4-Bajuband  (Rhymical dialogues) folk songs
5-Chaufala ( Achieving right objectives, ambitions, economical benefits and final solutions)
6-Khded geet Sad folk songs
7-Kulachar folk songs
8-Chaumasa (Songs of rainy season)
9-Baramasa (folk songs for every season)
10-par Updeshatmak (Inspirational folk songs)
11- Samayik (Folk Songs of contemporary subject or happenings by Badis)
12-Rashtriya geet (Patriotic folk songs)

                     Classification by Dr Shiva Nand Nautiyal
         Dr shiva nand Nautiyal had been also collecting Garhwali folk songs and his edited books are 
A-Garhwal ke Lok Geet (1964)
B-6-Garhwal ke Khuded Geet (1965)
C--Chham Ghugharu Bajala (1964)
D-Garhwali Baramasa
 Dr Shiva Nand Nautiyal never thought of analyzing Garhwali Folk Songs as his above contemporary scholars were classifying songs. Only, in 1979, dr Shiva Nand classifed Garhwali folk Songs in Garhwali Manas (1979, page 52) and surprising ly his classification is more scientific, more subtle, more clear than his contemporary researchers. He divided following folk songs and dances together as follows:

1-Mangal Geet: K-Awhahan Puja geet, Kh-Puja Geet, G-Vivah geet
2-Jagar : Narsingh, , Nagarja, Devi, Hantya, Pandav, Bhairon etc
3-Panwade (Chivalry folk songs ): Historical and non -historical
4-Tantra Mantra folk songs
5-Thadya folk songs
6-Chaufula folk songs
7-Khuded folk songs
8-Baramasa folk songs
9-Kulachar folk songs
10-Pasara folk songs
11-Vasanti folk songs
12-Hori folk songs
13-Bajuband folk songs
14-Laman folk songs
15-Chhopati folk songs
16-Lori geet folk songs
17-Patkhai men Chhuda folk songs
18-Naunyali folk songs
19-Chaumasa folk songs
20-Duda folk songs
21-Samayik or contemporary folk songs
By the above analysis we may state that Dr Shiva Nand Nautiyal’s classification is appreciable in terms of terminology and subtle .
