इसवी सन पूर्व तिसऱ्या शतकापासू महाराष्ट्रामध्यो बौद्ध धम्माचे प्रभावी अस्तित्व पाहायला मिळते. त्याचे पुरावे राज्यभरात सर्वत्र विखुरलेले आहेत. भंडारा जिल्ह्यातील पवनी येथील बौद्ध स्तूप आणि नालासोपाऱ्याला असलेला बौद्ध स्तूप व सम्राट अशोकाचा शिलालेख हे त्याचे महत्त्वाचे पुरावे आहेत. याशिवाय संपूर्ण राज्यभरातील बौद्ध इतिहासातही चांगलेच वैविध्य पाहायला मिळते. धम्माची समृद्धी महाराष्ट्राने दीर्घकाळ अनुभवली आणि पाषाणामध्ये अंकितही झाली. राज्यभरातील धम्माचा हा तब्बल २३०० वर्षांचा इतिहास मुंबईमध्ये नव्याने साकारण्यात आलेल्या बौद्ध दालनामध्ये एकाच फेरीत सहज अनुभवता आणि समजूनही घेता येतो. बीएआरसीच्या परिसरात सापडलेली बौद्ध देवता असलेल्या तारेची अनोखी शिल्पकृती ही तर कलेची परमावधीच ठरते!

00:00 If we read the Shilalik of Emperor Ashoka in Brahmi Lipi,
00:04 it does not say "No" in it,
00:06 but it says that you should not fall into the trap of doing such a thing.
00:11 It looks like a Dharma Chakra, a Shiva, a Bodhi tree.
00:15 It represents the Hinayana phase of the beginning of Buddhism.
00:20 It is a kind of a Narabhakti king,
00:22 and how his mind is transformed by the efforts of the Bodhisattva,
00:27 and he improves.
00:29 This is the story of that.
00:30 The journey of the star or the end of the star
00:33 was done in the western coast of the country, in January.
00:37 This star is very important for us
00:41 because it is found at the place of B.A.R.C.
00:44 (Music)
00:59 Namaskar, I am Vinayak Parabh,
01:01 and I have brought you to the second episode of Ghost Mumbai.
01:03 In this second episode, we have explored the ancient Mumbai.
01:06 We have visited the four parts of Ghost Mumbai
01:09 in Virar and Nalasopara area.
01:13 We have understood the ancient history of Nalasopara.
01:19 I had mentioned the Shilalekha of King Ashoka,
01:24 which is dated to the 3rd century B.C.
01:26 Today, we are at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangraha.
01:31 We can see my neighbor,
01:33 who is the Shilalekha of King Ashoka,
01:36 which is dated to the 3rd century B.C.
01:40 The important thing in Shilalekha is still present in the 21st century.
01:46 It is important to understand it.
01:49 (Music)
02:07 What is this?
02:08 The month of Shravan has started.
02:11 The month of Shravan is more of a month of fish.
02:15 But the month of Shravan will start now.
02:18 The month of Shravan is generally started with festivals and festivals.
02:24 We do a lot of religious rituals in this month.
02:27 If we read the Shilalekha of King Ashoka in Brahmi Lipi,
02:32 we can see that King Ashoka has not mentioned any of these religious rituals.
02:39 But he has said that we should not fall into the trap of such rituals.
02:43 So, what should we do?
02:44 He has said that we should follow the path of good conduct.
02:48 This path of good conduct is the path of Arya Ashtangika,
02:52 which is the path that was told to us by Gautam Buddha.
02:54 We can see its reflection in this Shilalekha.
02:59 In this part of the video, we will understand the art and heritage of Maharashtra
03:07 in the Buddhist section of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangram.
03:13 When the Buddhist tradition and history is mentioned in Maharashtra,
03:19 one important reference is mentioned, and that is the Pavani.
03:23 In Maharashtra, the Pavani is a place where the ancient Buddhist stupa was found.
03:30 We are standing near the Vedika stupa of the Pavani.
03:36 The stupa of the Pavani is related to Mumbai.
03:41 There is a very important reference in the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangram.
03:44 We will discuss this in detail in another video.
03:47 The stupa of the Pavani is a very important reference in the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangram.
03:54 We will understand the Buddhist tradition of Maharashtra.
03:59 Dr. Aparna Bhogal is here to give us more information about the stupa.
04:09 This is the stupa of the Pavani in Bhandara district.
04:14 It is a part of the Vedika stupa found in the ancient Buddhist tradition.
04:20 Here we can see a dharma chakra, a stupa, and a Bodhi tree.
04:27 It represents the Hinayana phase of the beginning of Buddhism,
04:33 where the Buddha was worshipped in the form of these symbols.
04:38 The people depicted here are a Dada and his wife.
04:44 There is an inscription on the stupa of the Pavani,
04:49 which says, "Nagasa Pachanikai Kasa".
04:52 This means that the person named Naga was one of the five holy texts in the Buddhist tradition.
05:09 He donated this stupa for the sake of the Vedika stupa.
05:13 There is a village called Boudha Lane in Mumbai and Boudha Parampara.
05:22 There are 110 lanes in Boudha Lane.
05:29 There is a small part of the stupa that we call the Duravasi,
05:37 which is a part of the Jataka.
05:43 Dr. Akarna will tell us more about this.
05:47 This is a part of the Jataka, which is a part of the Mahasutras.
05:51 There is a king named Narabhakshi,
05:55 who tries to change his mind through the efforts of Buddhism.
06:00 He improves his mind.
06:02 This is a small episode of that story.
06:07 As you know, the story of the birth of Lord Buddha is famous.
06:14 Similarly, the story of his previous life is known as the Jataka.
06:20 If you have been to Ajanta, you can see it in his Bhitti films.
06:26 This is a similar example of the Jataka.
06:30 This is a part of the symmetry in Kaneri.
06:34 There are many monuments in this area.
06:39 There are many Buddhist statues buried in Kaneri.
06:45 There are many monuments of the stupa.
06:48 This is a part of that.
06:50 When we go from Kaneri, there are 2-3 big lanes in the south of Kaneri.
06:57 When we go there, we come across a school.
07:03 We can see 64 small stupas of 64 different sizes.
07:08 There is a big stupa in the area of those stupas.
07:12 We can see a small part of that stupa here.
07:17 This is the famous Abha-Ana-Samsodha Ghegra of Durga.
07:23 It is called BARC in English.
07:26 This is the place where the thread was found.
07:29 This thread was known as the power of the Gautama Buddha.
07:34 The sculptures of this thread can be seen in all directions.
07:44 There was a famous sculptor named Dr. Madhukar Kishore Dhaulikar.
07:49 The research done by Dr. Kishore Dhaulikar says that the thread was found in the west coast of Jaipur.
08:02 This thread is very important for us.
08:07 It was found at the place of BARC.
08:10 Let's understand this from Dr. Aparna.
08:15 This thread is found in Mumbai.
08:21 It represents the ancient Indian style.
08:26 In the 9th-10th century, the Pala Rajya dynasty was ruling in Bengal-Bihar.
08:34 The Rajya dynasty has given great support to Buddhism.
08:39 This is a very good statue to represent that.
08:44 We have understood the Buddhist gallery in two parts.
08:50 You have also helped us understand it.
08:54 We have also understood that this gallery is not a work of one or two people.
09:03 There are three people who work in it.
09:05 Who is important in this?
09:08 First of all, our Director General, Mahasanchalak Shri Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
09:16 We have the statues of Buddhism in the gallery.
09:26 We have made a different statue and are making different ornaments for different religions.
09:44 Himanshu Prabhare has also worked hard for this gallery as a curator.
09:49 It is a team work. We have a team of museum staff.
09:57 We have specialists for lighting, designers, curators, and other staff.
10:07 Everyone has worked very hard to make this gallery stand in time.
10:14 We are very grateful to everyone for this.
10:16 We are very grateful to you for coming to the museum and giving us this opportunity.
10:25 The director of this gallery is Asha Vasadpase.
10:33 Let us talk to her.
10:36 I am now 88 years old.
10:39 I was thinking that I should leave something behind.
10:45 This museum has given me a lot of knowledge.
10:48 In the old days, when I came from Uttar Pradesh, this was the only place I could come and study and sit down in the library.
10:58 So I wanted to give something back to it.
11:00 So I had a talk with Mr. Mukherjee and he said, "Well, there is a small space which we can provide."
11:06 I was told that the museum has a very fine collection of Buddhist art.
11:11 So I said, "Well, why not we do it?"
11:13 I said, "I will give the money and I will donate it very happily."
11:19 So I did that and it took about two years.
11:23 I wanted to have the best people to come and do this.
11:27 You know, the best sound man, the best electric person, the best...
11:31 But the museum had the talent.
11:33 So they did it here and it has come out very well.
11:37 And I am very happy.
11:39 I am very happy.
11:44 (Laughs)
11:46 I used to work in East UP.
11:52 It's been a long time. I am talking about 1960.
11:56 So I went to the place where the Department of Archaeology was excavating.
12:03 The Shuddhodan Palace.
12:05 The palace of the father of Mahatma Buddha.
12:09 It was on the Nepal border.
12:11 Lubbani was very close.
12:13 So I went to Lubbani.
12:15 And I saw the excavation there.
12:18 And I didn't understand how lucky I was to come here.
12:27 Then I went to a temple with the female principal of the school.
12:35 It was of Mahamaya.
12:37 And it was of the Mauryan period.
12:40 So it was of red stone.
12:42 And it was a very nice temple.
12:44 And Mahamaya Devi was inside.
12:48 And the villagers had applied a lot of vermillion.
12:52 Like a Goddess.
12:54 They didn't know that she was the mother of Buddha.
12:57 So they called her Devi.
12:59 After that, when I came here to Mumbai.
13:01 Later.
13:03 I used to come here to study in the museum.
13:05 I found out that there is a very nice collection here.
13:09 I had never shown it to anyone.
13:11 Then I saw it.
13:13 And I read about it.
13:15 Then I said that we should make a gallery of it.
13:17 So I decided at that time.
13:19 That when I get old.
13:21 We will do something for it.
13:23 For the younger generation.
13:25 So this is how I came up with it.
13:27 And it worked.
13:29 I am very happy.
13:31 So friends, in the last two parts.
13:35 We stayed in Mumbai.
13:37 And explored the ancient India.
13:39 And especially the history of the Buddha temple.
13:41 We explored it from Mumbai.
13:43 It was very important.
13:45 That Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum.
13:47 Started this Buddhist collection.
13:49 And through this.
13:51 We not only explored the Indian tradition.
13:53 But also the history of the temple.
13:55 And we explored the history of the temple.
13:57 And we explored the history of the temple.
13:59 And if we did not explore the Indian tradition.
14:01 Then in this part of the video.
14:03 We explored the Buddhist tradition of Mumbai.
14:05 In a different way.
14:07 We will explore the ancient Mumbai.
14:09 In a different way.
14:11 For that.
