Hartalika Teej 2022: Vrat Katha
According to religious texts, the story of this Teej was narrated by Lord Shankar to Mother Parvati to remind her of her previous birth. Lord Shiva told Parvati that she was Sati, the daughter of King Daksha in her previous birth. She was also the beloved wife of Lord Shankar in the incarnation of Sati.
Once Sati’s father Daksha organized a great yagna, but did not invite Lord Shankar out of malice. When Sati came to know about this, she asked Lord Shankar to go to the yagna, but Lord Shankar refused without being called.
Then Sati herself went to attend the Yagya and asked her father Daksha why not invite my husband? On this Daksha insulted Lord Shankar. Sati could not bear the humiliation of her husband Shiva and left her body in the fire of Yagya.
In the next life he was born to the king of Himachal and because of the memory of the previous birth, he did penance in this birth also, so that Lord Shankar could be obtained as a husband. Goddess Parvati had accepted Lord Shiva as her husband in her mind and was always absorbed in Lord Shiva’s penance. Seeing this condition of his daughter, the king of Himachal started worrying. When he discussed this with Naradji, at his behest he decided to get his daughter married to Lord Vishnu. Parvati did not want to marry Lord Vishnu. Knowing about Parvati’s mind, her friends took her to the dense forest. Thus this fast was named Hartalika Vrat because of her abduction by her friends.
Parvati continued to do penance for Shiva till she got Lord Shiva as her husband. Since then this fast with true devotion to Parvati ji.
