Three Teej festivals are celebrated in a year, according to the Hindu calendar. One of them is Hartalika Teej which is observed on the Tritiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month. This year, it will be celebrated on Friday, September 6, 2024. It is said that observing a fast on this day helps you attract sweetness in your married life and eliminate stress and pain.
Hartalika Teej 2024 Vrat Katha
Astrologer Radhakant Vats shared the fasting story with us, scroll down to get your hands on the ‘Hartalika Teej Vrat Katha.’
Astrologer Vats said, “According to the legend, once when Daksh Prajapati had organised a great Yagya, Maa Sati reached there uninvited. After this, Sati had to listen to many abusive words from her father for her husband, Lord Shiva and she couldn’t tolerate that her husband was being insulted by her father.”
Following a heated argument, Maa Sati immolated herself in the sacrificial fire then and there. She reincarnated as Maa Parvati, the daughter of the King of Himachal in her next birth. She then performed severe penance to make Lord Shiva her husband as she had already accepted him to be her husband in her heart. She always remained engrossed in the meditation of Lord Shiva. Seeing her dedication and devotion, Lord Vishnu advised Narad to tell Maa Parvati a way to get Lord Shiva.
Goddess Parvati then went to the dense forest on the Hasta Nakshatra of Bhadrapada Shukla Tritiya Tithi. She created a Shivling made of clay there and stayed awake all night praying to Bholenath. Lord Shiva, impressed with her devotion, appeared in front of her and told her to do a strict penance and blessed her to gain the fruits of her desire if she kept this fast and did Tapasya.
After Maa Parvati completed the fast and her penance, she gained Lord Shiva as her husband. Since then, the tradition of celebrating Hartalika Teej on this day and observing a fast began.
