कोलकाता का पुर्तगाली चर्च: मेरी स्मृतियों और इतिहास के झरोखे से
लेखक: डॉ. सुशील कुमार पांडेय (Senior Assistant Teacher (History) of our Vidyalaya.
1 जुलाई 1992 वह ऐतिहासिक दिन था, जब मैंने कोलकाता के बड़ाबाजार स्थित श्री जैन श्वेतांबर तेरापंथी विद्यालय में शिक्षक के रूप में अपना पदभार ग्रहण किया। यह विद्यालय न केवल ज्ञान का केंद्र है, बल्कि अपने आप में इतिहास को समेटे हुए है। इसकी स्थापना 1916 ईस्वी में हुई थी—वही दौर जब दुनिया प्रथम विश्व युद्ध की विभीषिका झेल रही थी। विद्यालय के भवन में कभी 'पाठक ब्रदर्स' की प्रसिद्ध मिठाई दुकान हुआ करती थी, जो आज स्वरूप बदल चुकी है, किंतु स्कूल की प्राचीनता और गौरव आज भी अडिग है।
जिज्ञासा का केंद्र: पुर्तगाली चर्च
इतिहास का विद्यार्थी होने के नाते, जब मैं पहली बार विद्यालय गया, तो पास ही स्थित पुर्तगाली चर्च (Most Holy Rosary Cathedral) ने मेरा ध्यान खींचा। वह मेरे लिए मात्र एक धार्मिक स्थल नहीं, बल्कि एक 'ऐतिहासिक प्रतीक' बन गया। धीरे-धीरे यह चर्च मेरी पहचान का हिस्सा बन गया; जो भी मुझसे मिलने आता, मैं उसे यही कहता— "पुर्तगाली चर्च के पास ही मेरा स्कूल है।"
मुर्गीहाटा और चर्च का उद्भव
पुर्तगाली चर्च का इतिहास उतार-चढ़ाव भरा रहा है। जब पुर्तगाली भारत आए, तो उनमें से कई ने स्थानीय महिलाओं से विवाह किया। उनकी संतानों को 'किंटल' कहा जाता था। काम की तलाश में जब ये लोग कलकत्ता आए, तो ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनी ने उन्हें हुगली नदी के किनारे बसने की अनुमति दी। इनका मुख्य व्यवसाय मुर्गी पालन और विक्रय था, जिसके कारण यह क्षेत्र आज भी 'मुर्गीहाटा' के नाम से प्रसिद्ध है।
जॉब चार्नाक ने ऑगस्टीनियन संप्रदाय के कैथोलिकों को प्रार्थना स्थल के लिए दस बीघा जमीन दी थी। हालांकि, 1693 में उन्हें वहां से बेदखल कर दिया गया, किंतु कुछ समय बाद भिक्षु पुनः लौटे और एक ईंटों के गिरजाघर की नींव रखी। 1720 में इस स्थान का विस्तार हुआ।
चमत्कार और ऐतिहासिक संघर्ष
1756 में जब बंगाल के नवाब सिराजुद्दौला ने कोलकाता पर आक्रमण किया, तो शहर में मची लूटपाट के बीच पुर्तगाली चर्च का सुरक्षित बच जाना किसी चमत्कार से कम नहीं था। हालांकि, जब अंग्रेजों का 'सेंट ऐनी चर्च' नष्ट हुआ, तो उन्होंने इस चर्च पर अधिकार कर लिया। यह विवाद वर्षों चला, अंततः 1796 में लंदन स्थित 'कोर्ट ऑफ डायरेक्टर्स' के हस्तक्षेप के बाद इसे पुनः पुर्तगालियों को सौंप दिया गया।
वर्तमान भव्य स्वरूप प्रसिद्ध पुर्तगाली व्यापारी बारेटो बंधुओं के आर्थिक सहयोग का परिणाम है। जेम्स ड्राइवर द्वारा डिजाइन किया गया यह नया चर्च 27 नवंबर 1799 को जनता के लिए खोला गया। उस समय इसके निर्माण में लगभग 90,000 रुपये की लागत आई थी।
वास्तुकला और आध्यात्मिक सौंदर्य
कैथोलिक शैली में निर्मित इस चर्च की पहचान इसकी दो भव्य मीनारें हैं, जिनके शीर्ष पर मुकुट के आकार के गुंबद सुशोभित हैं। चर्च के भीतर का गलियारा और रंगीन कांच की खिड़कियां इसकी सुंदरता में चार चांद लगाती हैं।
इस चर्च का मुख्य आध्यात्मिक आकर्षण '14 क्रॉस स्टेशन' (क्रूस के 14 पड़ाव) हैं। यह ईसा मसीह के अंतिम कष्टों और बलिदान की यात्रा का चित्रण करते हैं:
1.यीशु को मृत्युदंड मिलना।
2.क्रूस को स्वीकार करना।
3.पहली बार गिरना।
4.माता मरियम से मिलना।
5.साइरेन के साइमन द्वारा मदद।
6.वेरोनिका द्वारा चेहरा पोंछना।
7.दूसरी बार गिरना।
8.यरूशलेम की महिलाओं से संवाद।
9.तीसरी बार गिरना।
10.वस्त्र उतारे जाना।
11.क्रूस पर कीलों से जड़ा जाना।
12.मृत्यु।
13.क्रूस से उतारा जाना।
14.कब्र में रखा जाना।
ये 14 पड़ाव सुंदर नक्काशीदार आकृतियों के रूप में पॉलिश किए हुए लकड़ी के फ्रेम में जड़े हैं, जो दीवारों पर इतिहास और आस्था की गवाही देते हैं।
निष्कर्ष
बर्मन रोड और कैनिंग स्ट्रीट के व्यस्ततम चौराहे पर स्थित होने के बावजूद, चर्च के भीतर कदम रखते ही एक अलौकिक शांति का अनुभव होता है। शोर-शराबे से भरे बड़ाबाजार के बीच यह स्थल आज भी अपनी प्राचीनता और गरिमा को संजोए खड़ा है, ठीक उसी तरह जैसे मेरा विद्यालय अपनी विरासत को आगे बढ़ा रहा है।
