Gandhi Sevagram Ashram Wardha : वर्ध्याच्या ऐतिहासिक बापूकुटीच्या बचावासाठी झांज्या!

Bapu kuti : वर्ध्याच्या सेवाग्राम इथल्या जागतिक कीर्तीच्या महात्मा गांधी यांच्या बापूकुटी आश्रमातील कुटींना पावसापासून बचावासाठी झांज्या आणि ताटव्यांचे कवच लावण्याचे काम जोरात आहे.


राष्ट्रपिता महात्मा गांधी यांनी 1936 साली वर्ध्याच्या सेवाग्राम इथं वास्तव्यास आल्यानंतर इथल्या आश्रमातून स्वातंत्र्य चळवळीला दिशा दिली. त्यामुळं हा आश्रम महत्वाचा ठेवा आहे. आश्रम परिसरात आदिनीवास, बा कुटी, बापूकुटी, बापू दफतर, आखरी निवास निवास दिमाखात उभ्या असून अनेकांसाठी प्रेरणा आणि ऊर्जा देणाऱ्या ठरल्या आहे.




पण इथल्या कुटी ग्रामीण घरांसारखी असल्याने पावसाळ्यात त्यांची सुरक्षा आणि देखभालीची विशेष काळजी घ्यावी लागते. पावसाळ्यापूर्वी शिंदोल्याच्या पानोळ्यापासून झांज्या आणि बोऱ्याचे ताटवे तयार केले जातात. शिवाय या झांज्या व ताटव्यांचे पावसाला सुरुवात होण्यापूर्वी आश्रम प्रतिष्ठाण परिसरातील महत्त्वाच्या चारही कुट्यासह इतरही कुट्यानंकरीता कवच बनविले जाते.



ही परंपरा महात्मा गांधीजींच्या काळापासून आजही कायम आहे. शुक्रवारपासून जिल्ह्यात पावसाला सुरुवात झाली असून कुटीना ताटव्या आणि झांज्यांचे कवच युद्धपातळीवर लावले जात आहे.

जिल्ह्याच्या ग्रामीण भागातून शिंदोल्याच्या झाडाच्या पानोळ्या विकत आणाव्या लागतात. यासाठी आश्रम प्रतिष्ठानला 5 हजार पानोळ्या करीता 5 रुपये प्रमाणे पैसे मोजावे लागते.



झांज्या बनविण्यासाठी बांबूच्या कामच, शिंदोल्याच्या झाडाचे चिरे, पानोळ्या, भिंतीला अडकविण्यासाठी लाकडाच्या तयार करण्यात आलेल्या खुंट्याचा वापर केला जातो.



सेवाग्राम आश्रमातील आखरी निवास हा उंच असल्याने व व्हरांडा असल्याने फक्त या कुटीला झांज्या आणि ताटवे लावले जात नाही. त्यामुळे ही कुटी याला अपवाद ठरली आहे.अशी माहिती कारागिर शंकर वाणी आणि रामभाऊ काळे यांनी दिली आहे.



जिल्ह्याच्या ग्रामीण भागातून 5 हजाराहून अधिक पानोळ्या 5 रुपये प्रमाणे घेतल्या जातेय विकत चार कामगार दरवर्षी 30 ते 35 झांज्यांचे आच्छादन बनविण्याचे करताहेत काम, आश्रम अनेकांसाठी ठरतेय प्रेरणादायी

  False Social Media Propaganda against Gandhi : A Factual Analysis    Siby K. Joseph     A false propaganda against Gandhi is gaining momentum through social media in connection with the allowance for the upkeep of Gandhi as a State Prisoner in 1930 by the British Government. Usually this type of propaganda coincides with Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday or martyrdom.  I received   a WhatsApp message a couple of days back from a person associated with a Gandhian organization for quite a long time.  I noticed that this message was forwarded many times.  It is as follows: “Finally, that letter was found in national records. In 1930, MK Gandhi was getting ₹100 per month from the British for personal expenses. At that time, the market price of 10 grams of gold was ₹18.
