Saptahik Vrat Katha

Dainik Vrat Katha refers to the daily religious stories (kathas) recited while observing various Hindu fasts (vrats) throughout the week. Each day of the week is dedicated to a particular deity and has its own significance, rituals, and story. These kathas are recited during the puja to please the respective deity and seek blessings. The purpose of these vrat kathas is to instill devotion, discipline, and positive values in the life of the devotee. They narrate mythological events, miracles, and moral lessons associated with the deity of the day. Along with fasting and prayer, listening to or reading the vrat katha is considered essential for the vrat’s fulfillment. Here is a brief association of each day with its deity: Monday (Somvar) – Lord Shiva Tuesday (Mangalvar) – Lord Hanuman or Durga Wednesday (Budhvar) – Lord Vishnu or Budh Dev Thursday (Guruvar) – Lord Brihaspati or Sai Baba Friday (Shukravar) – Goddess Lakshmi or Santoshi Mata Saturday (Shanivar) – Lord Shani or Hanuman Sunday (Ravivar) – Lord Surya (Sun God) Each vrat has specific rules regarding food, prayers, and rituals. The stories highlight the power of faith and the benefits of observing the fast with sincerity. Reciting these stories is believed to remove obstacles, bring prosperity, and fulfill wishes. Dainik Vrat Kathas are a part of daily spiritual practice for many devotees, promoting a routine of devotion, gratitude, and inner discipline.
