                                        By: Bhishma Kukreti

  Tara Datt Gairola was first Garhwali who collected and edited folk songs of Garhwal and Kumaon with Oakley.
 Sadei a folk song is very long poetry published in book form by Tara Datt Gairola. The folk story is about a woman’s unique sacrifice for her brother’s life.
 The following a couple poetry lines are about wish of a married woman to have brothers in her Mayka. However, the story is long.

                 गढ़वाल , कुमाऊं ,  हरिद्वार, की मानवीय संवेदनाओं की  लोक गाथाएँ -2   
                            सदेई : एक असाधरण त्याग गाथा

         (सन्दर्भ:तारा दत्त गैरोला , सदेई, खंड काव्य )

हे ऊँचि डांड्यों तुम नीसि जावा,
घणी  कुळायुं तुम छाँटि होवा।
मैकू लगीं छ खुद मैतुड़ा की,
बाबा जी को देश देखण देवा।।
मैत कि मेरि तुत पौन प्यारी,
सुणौ तू रैबार माँ को मेरी।
गाड गदन्यु व हिलांस कफू,
मैत का तुम मेरा गीत गावा।
बारा ऋतू बौड़लि बार मास,
आली -जाली जनु दाई फेरो।
आई नि आई निरभाग मैक,
क्वी बि नि आई ऋतुमेरि दांक।
बसंत मैना सबका त भाइ,
भेंटण आला बैण्यु को अपणा।
दीदी भुली मीलिक गीत गाली,
गळा लगाली खुद बिसराली।  ….

          When Sadei was very young she was married to far village Thati Kathud. Sadei could not watch her mother’s land as in between there were mountains and dense pine forest. She did not have brother. Therefore, no body used to visit her from her parents. Sadei used to wish that she would have brother who would call her to Mayaka. Sadei had two sons.
   She prayed before her family goddess Jhali-Mali. Sadei promised a gift to goddess after she had brother. Goddess blessed her.
  After some time, she came to know that her mother delivered a male child (her brother). He was named as Sadeu.
 When Saeu became young his brother told him that he has a sister married to far village. One day, Sadeu saw dream that his sister was weeping under a tree and was calling ‘brother! Brother!
Next day, he goes to his sister in law village.
Sadei saw her brother and became happy. Her sons also were pleased seeing their maternal uncle.
  As per promise to goddess, Sadei performed a Yagya (ritual). Now, time came for sacrifice, there was Akashvani (call from sky) that goddess does not want animal sacrifice. Sadei became ready to sacrifice herself instead of animal life. There was Akashvani that goddess does not take female life for sacrifice. Akashvani suggested for her sons sacrifice for goddess.
  Sadei became unconscious for time being. However, after some moments, she became ready to offer her sons life.
  She undressed her sons, her sons asked about their undressing by her, She replied them they would take bath. She offered them bath. Sadei beheaded her sons by sword. She took head inside room and came beheaded bodies of her sons at alter place. Again there was Akashvani that offer means heads and not bodies. Sadei goes to room and found that her sons were alive.

                                        By: Bhishma Kukreti

             To have son is not the desire from parents in Central Himalayan society but the sisters too desire to have her brother. The custom of brothers taking gifts for their sisters in specific months in Garhwal and Kumaon also inspire married women to have brothers. There a brother sister folk love stories in each region of Kumaon and Garhwal. Gordhana folktale of Kumaon is one of the well sung folktales about sister –brother love. 
  The folk song is quite old related to ancient Nag Vasnhi community of Kumaon.
         In this story form folk song, initially there is prayer of various folk deities and goddesses. There are lines for illustrating seasons and nature images of Kumaon in this tale form folk poem. The story starts at later stage.

लाड़ली चेलिया भालाघर छेदन रितु।
मै बेचीं खायूं ये चौ गंगा पार रितु।

  The folk song starts by worshipping various folk village deities.
        Then there is a season description in this traditional poem.
       At the arrival of spring, lord Shiva asks,” Where does Raimasi flower bloom?” There is blossom in flowers in spring season. There are bees roaming around flower bunches. Nyoli and Kafu (Cuckoo) sing in valleys and hills. Ghughtee sing in our courtyard.
    At this time, Goridhana becomes sad. She speaks to Kafu,” O Kafu! Visit my mother’s village. Tell my father to send gifts of Bhentula month for me. “
                   Goridhana thinks that the bothers of her Jethani and Devrani (wives of husband’s brothers) had come here and brought gifts for their sisters. Nobody is there to bring gifts of Bhentuli month for Goridhana .Her elder brother is in army. Her younger brother is very young.
               One day, Basaldev the twelve year old younger brother of Gordhana went to grazing land at Yamuna bank for grazing animals.  His mates made fun of him as he did not have sister and did not allow him his cows mixing with their cows.
           Weeping, Basaldev reached to his mother and asked about his sister. His mother informed him that his elder sister Goridhana is married to Kalinag very far away from here.
  Basaldev told his mother that in coming Chait month he would go to his sister with lot of gifts.
     In Chait month, Basaldev took gifts in a basket, hung the basket on his back and started his journey to meet his sister. 
    After crossing various hills and rivers, Basaldev reached at the border of in law village of his sister. He sat on a platform under large Fig tree (pipal).
                    The sister in law of Goridhana informed that her brother is there under fig tree. Goridhana ran to see her brother. She hugged her brother.
  When Goridhana was hugging her brother the Kalinag snake came there. Kalinag suspected that his wife has relationship with other man. Kalinag cobra bites Basaldev. Poison started effecting   Basaldev. Basaldev crushed Kalinag. Both died there.
  Goridhana took both dead bodies in her each hand and died there only.

                  Many social and cultural historians state that Gajesingh the character of this folk song (Thadya Geet) was the son of great warrior Madho Singh Bhandari. However, there is mismatch between the two that Gajesingh Bhandari the commander of Garhwali kingdom was killed in a conspiracy. This character is killed by women.

O Gajesingh! You are handsome young man.
 O Gajesingh! Your ears have rings; your hands are full of metal rings.
O Gajesingh! Don’t go to Ranihat.

O Gajesingh! You would be killed by wicked women of Ranihat.
O Gajesingh! Don’t go to Ranihat.

My dear Mother! Nobody is immortal and I shall go Ranihat.
My dear Mother! Promise by me as Rajput means I have to go Ranihat.

            Motiya Saun and his wife Ganga Saunyani lived in Son ki Dungri. They were childless. They worshipped every stone and took bath into all rivers and rivulets. However, they could not father child.
            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.

और तांबा को घड़ो भरि बरनै
अपना घर सौना की डूंगार खी वापिस ऊंछिना।
तब बाट मनि उनरो हियो भरि भरि ऊंछ।
और रूनी रूनी घर पूजी वटे
मोतिया सौन थे सब बात पुछीन।
और दिन भरी . विलाप में काटी बटे
रात खिन एक कमरा में दुसरा में पडिगयान।
दुया रात भरि , सोच में पडि भुकरी रुंनाम

            Motiya Saun and his wife Ganga Saunyani lived in Son ki Dungri. They were childless. They worshipped every stone and took bath into all rivers and rivulets. However, they could not father child.
            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.

कुमाऊं, गढ़वाल ,हरिद्वार  की लोक गाथाएँ  -61       

               गढ़वाल , कुमाऊं ,  हरिद्वार, की मानवीय संवेदना आधारित  लोक गाथाएँ -8

        (सन्दर्भ : भजन सिंह 'सिंह' ' सिंहनाद )
          (इंटरनेट प्रस्तुति एवं व्याखा : भीष्म कुकरेती )

                वीर, पत्निव्रता  वधू -देवकी
(गाथा का आरम्भिक पद्य )

पैलि गढ़ देस त्वेकू नमस्कार छ।
तेरी हम पर दया-दृष्टि अपार छ।।
तेरी छाया मा हमकू बड़ी मौज छ।
वीर-पुत्र की तेरी फ़ौज खड़ी छ।।
पैलि उन्नीस सौ पन्द्र का लाम मा।
जर्मनी -फ़्रांस का घोर संग्राम मा।।
सात सागर तरी देश का काकू।
जाति का अर ब्वे बाबु का नाम कु।।
राठ मा गोठ गौं कु अमर सिंह छयो।
फ्रांस की लड़ाई मा भर्ती ह्वैकि गयो।।
ब्यो करी घर मू, लाम पर दौड़ी गे।
भार्या वे कि छे देवकी नाम की।।
वा सती छै बड़ी भक्त ही राम की।
सास  ससुरा की सेवा मा रांदी छई।
कैक मुख पर नजर नि लगांदी छई।।
स्वामी का नाम को व्रत लेंदी छई।
भूखा प्यासों तई भीख देंदी छई।
जब कभी स्वामी की याद आंदी छई।
रात दिन रुंदी बितांदी छई।।
   
           There was fierce war going on between France and German. Amar Singh of Goth village of Rath region of Garhwal enrolled in British army. After marriage he went to France for fighting for British in the war (1915). His wife Devki was with her in laws.
                  No news came of Amar Singh for many months. Devki used to remember her husband.
         After some time, news came that her husband is killed in the war.  Devki was now widow. She started passing her time as virtuous and religious widow.

 It was evening time. The villagers had come back to houses after works. Some women were busy cooking food, some were milking the cows.
                  In that time, a Heeng/asafetida seller Kabuliwala came in the village. He was fearful. Nobody gave him shelter. Devki offered him food too.
                 Devki’s house was far away from main village. Kind hearted Devki provided him a ground floor room for spending a night.
  Devki slept on first floor.
        At midnight, Devki heard that Kabuliwala was knocking doors and Kabuliwala was threatening that if she does not open door, he would kill her. Kabuliwala broke the door. Kabuliwala was with a knife. Kabuliwala wanted to rape her.
    It was ‘do and die situation’ for Devki. She took her sickle and beheaded Kabuliwala.

                 नंदू बालो

जाना , जाना , नंदू बालो , घर चली जालो,
कर इजू सांचि ज्युनार ए,
हम ले जाणो इजू मेरि चौगंगा पार,
कर इजू सांचि ज्युनार ए,
को त्वे बाला रे बाटो देखालो,
को त्वे बाला रे जमुन तरालो ए।
आँखा जोंला बाटो देखालो,
जंघा जोंला जमुन तरालो ए।
उति को उठो बालो मेरि बारूड़ि का घर,
बुणि दे बारूड़ि सोंच कुरड़ि ए।
उति को उठो बालो मेरा लोहार का घर,
गाड़ि दे लोहार कन्यारी कड़याल ए ,
 उति को उठो बालो मेरि नागनी का घर,
टिपि दे नागनी मासी को फूल ए,
कि तु बाला रे जुआ  हार ए,
ना मैं नागनी मासी दुख्यायो,
ना मै नागनी जुआ हार ए।
मासी का फूल की पूजा नि हुंनी,
ली जा बाला रे पड्याँ का फूल ए।
ली जा बाला रे झाडिया पडिया,
ली जा बाला रे पड़याँ की पाती ए।
म्यारा मामा कंस राजा का ज्यूंति पूजा,
वाँ रे चैनी मासी का फूल ए।
                Son of Nandu (Nandu Balo or Krishna) says to his mother that she should cook tasty most food. He has to go to pluck flowers far away from here. Nandu Balo says that he has to go for flowers for Jyoti Puja at his maternal uncle Kansha’s house.
       Nandu Balo (Krishna) goes to basket maker for making basket. He goes to ironsmith for making arms.
  His mother says,” How would you go for flowers so far? Who will show you the road to flower forest? Who will cross you Yamuna River?”
   Krishna replies,” My eyes will show me road. My legs will cross me Yamuna River.”
   Passing all hurdles, Nandu Balo (Krishna) reaches to Naglok. He requests the Nagin for awakening Nag as there is Jyoti Parv at Kansha’s house. He needed fresh Masi flowers.
Nagin asks,” Have you been beaten by your step mother?”
Nandu Balo replies in negative.
Nagin asks,” have you lost in gambling?”
Nandu Balo replies in negative.
Nagin asks,” Have you lost the path?”
Krishna replies in negative and persuaded that he would take Masi flowers for Jyoti Parva at maternal uncle’s house.
Nagin says that he can take Payinya flowers or flowers those are fallen on the garden.
Krishna replies that Payinya flowers are not used in Jyoti Puja neither the flowers fallen on ground.
Krishna told that he would put his foot on Nag head and would pluck fresh Masi flowers.
Then Nandu Balo (Krishna) put his foot on Nag head and plucked fresh Masi flowers for Jyoti Puja.
 The folk songs also prove for respect for Krishna in the region.
