Significance of Falgun Vinayki Chaturthi
The vrat katha of Falgun Vinayki Chaturthi is based on the story of Vishnu Sharma and his daughters-in-law. The youngest daughter-in-law worshipped Lord Ganesha with complete devotion and served her father-in-law sincerely. Pleased with her devotion, Lord Ganesha filled her home with wealth and prosperity. This story teaches that sincere faith and patience in worship fulfill all wishes.
In Satyug, there lived a virtuous old Brahmin named Vishnu Sharma who had seven sons.
Vishnu Sharma used to eat at his sons' homes, but his daughters-in-law insulted him. One day, while observing Ganesh Chaturthi fast, he asked his daughters-in-law for worship materials, but all of them refused.
Finally, he asked the youngest daughter-in-law, who not only provided the puja materials but also worshipped Lord Ganesha with full devotion and served her father-in-law sincerely.
At midnight, her father-in-law fell ill, but the youngest daughter-in-law stayed awake the entire night without eating or drinking and continued serving him.
By Lord Ganesha’s grace, Vishnu Sharma recovered, and the youngest daughter-in-law’s home was filled with wealth and abundance. When the other daughters-in-law saw this, they realized their mistake and resolved to observe the fast as well.
Worshipping Lord Ganesha in the month of Falgun brings happiness, prosperity, freedom from diseases, and financial stability.
This fast removes life’s obstacles and grants wisdom and intelligence.
