शिशु , संगीत और माँ
वरिष्ठ कवि नरेश सक्सेना की एक प्रसिद्ध कविता है – शिशु
शिशु लोरी के शब्द नहीं
संगीत समझता है,
बाद में सीखेगा भाषा
अभी वह अर्थ समझता है ।समझता है सबकी भाषा
सभी के अल्ले ले ले ले,
तुम्हारे वेद पुराण कुरान
अभी वह व्यर्थ समझता है ।
अभी वह अर्थ समझता है ।समझने में उसको, तुम हो
कितने असमर्थ, समझता है
बाद में सीखेगा भाषा
उसी से है, जो है आशा ।कविता को ग्रहण करने के दो ही रास्ते हैं, या तो जो कविता में कहा गया है उसे शब्दशः सही मानकर उसके रस में डूब जाए कविता को पढ़ने सुनने वाला| या फिर कविता में जो कहने की कोशिश की गई है उस पर सोच जाए| यह कविता बहुत कुछ सोचने के लिए प्रेरित करती है|
विकासात्मक जीवविज्ञान और न्यूरोसाइंस के घेरे में भी क्या उपरोक्त कविता सही सिद्ध होती है? यह एक वैज्ञानिक तथ्य है कि माँ के गर्भ में रहने के दौरान लगभग 24वें सप्ताह से ही शिशु माँ की आवाज़ सुनना और पहचानना शुरू कर देता है| गर्भ में पानी (Amniotic Fluid) के माध्यम से माँ की आवाज़ की जो फ्रीकवेंसीज़ उस तक पहुँचती हैं, वे उसे किसी दबी हुई सुरीली धुन जैसी प्रतीत होती हैं। शिशु शब्दों के “अर्थ” को नहीं, बल्कि माँ की आवाज़ के “टोन” (स्वर-लहरी) और “पिच” को समझता है, जिसे वैज्ञानिक भाषा में Motherese या Parentese कहा जाता है।
माँ बिना गीत गाए भी अगर सिर्फ बात करे, तो बच्चा शांत हो जाता है। न्यूरोसाइंस के अनुसार:
- माँ की आवाज़ सुनते ही शिशु के मस्तिष्क में तनाव पैदा करने वाला हार्मोन ‘कोर्टिसोल’ (Cortisol) तुरंत कम हो जाता है।
- प्रेम और सुरक्षा की भावना जगाने वाला हार्मोन ‘ऑक्सीटोसिन’ (Oxytocin) तेज़ी से बढ़ता है।
- माँ की आवाज़ और उसकी धड़कन की लय शिशु के दिल की धड़कन और सांसों को नियंत्रित करती है, जिससे उसका पूरा तंत्रिका तंत्र (Nervous System) शांत हो जाता है|
यह भी सर्वविदित है कि जन्म के समय शिशु की आँखों की रोशनी बहुत धुंधली होती है, इसलिए वह दुनिया को समझने के लिए जिन तीन बातों पर निर्भर करता है, वे हैं उसकी माँ की आवाज़, माँ का स्पर्श और माँ की सुगंध। माँ के गर्भ में माँ की नाभि से जुड़ी नालिका के माध्यम से जीवन पाते शिशु को जन्म लेते ही शॉक लगता है क्योंकि अब उसे नायक या मुंह से सांस लेनी होती है यह उसके जीवन का पहला और सबसे बाद झटका है, शरीर विज्ञान के आधार पर भी और भावनात्मक रूप से भी| इसलिए समझदार डॉक्टर बच्चे को माँ के गर्भ नाल से अलग करते ही बच्चे को माँ के ऊपर लिटा देते हैं जिससे माँ और शिशु दोनों के नग्न शरीर एक दूसरे के स्पर्श से स्पंदित हो जाएँ और शिशु को माँ के स्पर्श से सांत्वना मिल जाए कि वह सुरक्षित है| माँ और शिशु का यह निर्वस्त्र आलिंगन शिशु की सुरक्षा के लिए बेहद महत्वपूर्ण होता है|
माँ और शिशु की त्वचा का स्पर्श शिशु के शरीर में एंडोर्फिन जारी करता है, जो प्राकृतिक पेनकिलर और रिलैक्सेंट का काम करता है।
शिशु अपनी माँ के दूध और उसकी त्वचा की गंध (Olfactory Cue) को भी पहचानने लगता है।
ऐसे वैज्ञानिक समझदारी के घेरे में सुरक्षित रूप से यह कहा जा सकता है कि शिशु को “लोरी के संगीत” या “सुर-ताल” से शांति नहीं मिलती, बल्कि उसे अपनी माँ की आवाज़ से मिलने वाले “परिचय और सुरक्षा” से शांति मिलती है।
शिशु में संगीत का कोई “सौंदर्यबोध” नहीं होता। उसके लिए माँ की आवाज “अस्तित्व की सुरक्षा” है|
शिशु के मस्तिष्क में प्रसन्नता और विश्राम का केंद्र तब सक्रिय नहीं होता जब संगीत अच्छा हो, बल्कि तब सक्रिय होता है जब वह माँ के बोले किसी “जाने-पहचाने पैटर्न” को पहचानता है। गर्भ के 9 महीनों के अनुभव के कारण माँ की आवाज़ ही उसका एकमात्र जाना-पहचाना पैटर्न होती है। अजनबी आवाज़ कितनी भी सुरीली हो, वह शिशु के लिए एक “अपरिचित स्टिमुलस”ही है, जो उसे सतर्क तो कर सकती है, लेकिन शांत नहीं कर सकती।
शिशु और संगीत में महत्वपूर्ण “विधा” (लोरी या संगीत) नहीं है, बल्कि “स्रोत” (माँ) है। माँ यदि लोरी की जगह सामान्य बातचीत भी करे, तो भी वह शिशु को किसी भी पराई सुरीली लोरी से ज़्यादा सुकून देगी।
शिशु के लिए सुख का आधार सुर-ताल का विज्ञान नहीं, बल्कि माँ से जुड़ाव का जैविक सच है।
शिशु संगीत नहीं समझता, वह समझता है केवल अपनी माँ की आवाज! शिशु के लिए दुनिया की सबसे अच्छी गायिका की आवाज एक अजनबी आवाज है और ऐसी आवाज सुनने पर शिशु के मस्तिष्क का केवल ऑडिटरी कॉर्टेक्स यानी सुनने वाला हिस्सा सक्रिय होता है। वह उसे केवल एक “ध्वनि” के रूप में प्रोसेस करता है।
जबकि माँ की आवाज़ सुनते ही शिशु के मस्तिष्क के कई हिस्से एक साथ चमक उठते हैं और इसमें भाषा समझने वाले हिस्से के साथ-साथ भावनाओं, आनंद, और चेहरे की पहचान करने वाले हिस्से भी तुरंत सक्रिय हो जाते हैं। माँ की आवाज़ सुनते ही शिशु के न्यूरोलॉजिकल सिस्टम में डोपामाइन और ऑक्सीटोसिन हार्मोन का तेज़ी से स्राव होता है। और यही न्यूरोकेमिकल प्रतिक्रिया है शिशु को सुरक्षा, अत्यधिक आनंद और गहरे लगाव का अहसास कराती है।
शिशु के लिए लता मंगेशकर की गाई लोरी के कोई मायने नहीं हैं, भले उसकी माँ की आवाज कर्कश हो, उसके लिए वही आवाज सुरताल का स्रोत है| अजनबी की आवाज़ कितनी भी सुरीली हो, वह शिशु के मस्तिष्क में जैविक रिवॉर्ड सिस्टम को ट्रिगर नहीं कर पाती।कविता में शिशु से क्या तात्पर्य है यह कवि के अंदर ही स्पष्ट होगा| यहाँ जो व्याख्या है यह गर्भावस्था और जन्म लेने के 1-2 महीने तक के बच्चे के लिए सत्य है|

Spirituality & Religious Studies @spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com@spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com ·Moirai
In ancient Greek religion & mythology, the Moirai (a.k.a. in English as the Fates) were the personification of destiny.
There were 3 sisters named: Clotho, who was the spinner; Lachesis, who was the allotter; & Atropos, who was the inevitable, a symbol for death. Their Roman equals are the Parcae.
The Moirai’s role was to make sure that every being, mortal & divine, lived out their destinies. For mortals, this destiny went their entire lives & is pictured as a thread spun from a spindle. A spindle is the thing that Sleeping Beauty touched to become Sleeping Beauty.
Usually, they were considered to be above even the gods, in their role as enforcers of Fate. Zeus was even scared of them. Even though, in some stories, Zeus is able to command them. But these are rare.
The word Moirai (also spelt Moirae or Moerae) comes from Ancient Greek. This means “lots, destinies, apportioners.” It also means a portion, or lot of the whole.
In Dante’s Divine Comedy, the Fates are mentioned in both Inferno & Purgatorio by their Greek names. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the Weird Sisters (or 3 Witches) are prophetesses, who are deeply rooted in both the real & supernatural worlds.
The Moirai are:
- Clotho, the spinner. She spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle. Her Roman equal was Nona (“the 9th”), who was originally called upon in the 9th month of pregnancy.
- Lachesis, the allotter or drawer of lots. She measured the thread of life allotted to each person with her measuring rod. Her Roman equal was Decima (“the 10th”).
- Atropos, “inexorable,” or inevitable,” literally “unturning.” She was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of each person’s death. When their time has come, she would cut their life-thread with her shears. Think about the end of Disney’s Hercules, when our main man, Herc, went to save Meg from Hades’ domain. Herc’s life-thread turned gold when he saved. Her Roman equal was Morta (“the dead one”).
In the Republic of Plato, the 3 Moirai sing together with the music of the Seirenes. Lachesis sings the things that were, Clotho the things that are, & Atropos the things that are to be. Pindar, in his Hymn to the Fates, holds them in high honor. He calls them to send their sisters, the Hours (Eunomia, “lawfulness”; Dike, “right”; & Eirene, “peace”), to stop the internal civil strife.
In the Theogony, Hesiod describes the Moirai as daughters of the primeval goddess Nyx (“night”), & the sisters of the Keres (“the black fates”), Thanatos (“death”), & Nemesis (“retribution”). Later in the poem, Hesiod instead calls them daughters of Zeus & the Titaness Themis (“the Institutor”), who was the embodiment of divine order & law. This places them as sisters of the Hours.
In the cosmogony of Alcman (7th century BC), first came Thetis (“disposer, creation”) & then simultaneously Poros (“path”) & Tekmor (“end post, ordinance”). Poros is related to the end of all things.
Later, in the Orphic cosmogony, first came Thesis, whose ineffable nature is unexpected. Ananke (“necessity”) is the primeval goddess of inevitability who is entwined with the time-god Chronos, at the very beginning of time. They represented the cosmic forces of Fate & Time. They were sometimes called to control the fates of the gods. The 3 Moirai are daughters of Ananke.
In the Theogony of Hesiod, the 3 Moirai are personified as the daughters of Nyx & are acting the gods. Later they were daughters of Zeus & Themis, who was the embodiment of divine order & law. In Pluto’s Republic, the 3 Fates are daughters of Ananke (necessity).
The Moirai were supposed to appear 3 nights after a kid’s birth to determine the course of its life. At Sparta, the Temple to the Moirai stood near the communal hearth of the polis. Polis means “city” in Ancient Greek.
As the goddesses of birth who even prophesied the fate of the newly born, Elieithyia, the ancient Minoan goddess of childbirth & divine midwifery, was their companion.
The Erinyes, a group of chthonic goddesses of vengeance, served as tools of the Moirai. Chthonic means concerning, belonging to, or inhabiting the underworld. They inflicted punishment for evil deeds, particularly upon those who sought to avoid their rightful destiny. The Morai were confused with the Erinyes, as well as the death-goddesses, the Keres.
In earlier times, they were pictured as only a few, or perhaps only 1, individual goddess Homer’s Illiad speaks generally of the Moira, who spins the thread of life for men at their birth. She’s Moria Krataia, “powerful Moira,” or there are several Moirai.
In the Odyssey, there’s a reference to the Klothes, or spinners. At Delphi, only the Fates of Birth & Death were revered. In Athens, Aphrodite was called Aphrodite Urania, the “eldest of the Fates.”
In the older myths, they’re daughters of primeval beings like Nyx (“night”) in Theogony, or Ananke in Orphic cosmogony.
The Moirai could be placated as goddesses. Brides in Athens offered them locks of hair, & women swore by them. They may have originated as a birth goddesses & only later their reputation as the agents of destiny. The Moirai were also credited to be the inventors of 7 Greek letters – A, B, H, I, T, & Y.
The Fates had at least 3 known temples: Ancient Corinth, Sparta, & Thebes. The temple in Sparta was situated next to the grave/tomb of Orestes.
