Vrat Kathaa-Introduction

The Week Days' stories have special significance in Indian religious life in as much as they propose a weekly engagement for the common folk and especially for the women folk. Each day of the week brings a special message. These stories have given solace to millions of people from time immemorial. It would be worthwhile to explain as to how a particular day of the week was allotted to particular star or planet. According to Indian astronomers, the position of the planets, in order of their placement in the sky, is Shani, Brihaspati, Mangal, Soorya, Shukra, Budh and Chandramaa. They rotate in their own orbits or paths.


The weekly fast is as follows:

MONDAY dedicated to SHIV
TUESDAY dedicated to GANAPATI
WEDNESDAY dedicated to KRISHN
THURSDAY dedicated to GURU
FRIDAY dedicated to LAKSHMEE
SATURDAY dedicated to HANUMAAN
SUNDAY dedicated to SOORYA

The Vrat Kathaa for all these weekdays have been given here
For other Vrat Kathaa see Vrat Kathaa section under "Vrat Festivals"
