Many mythological stories related to Bhoom Pradosh Vrat are prevalent. One of them is related to an old lady and Hanuman ji, which shows how the inauspicious effects of Mars can be converted into auspicious with true reverence and devotion. There was an old woman in a city, who had only one son, which people used to call Mangalia. The old woman had deep reverence for Hanuman ji. She used to observe Hanuman ji fast every Tuesday and worshiped in law. On Tuesday, she neither used to smoke her house nor dug the soil. Once Hanuman ji thought of taking the test of devotion to that old lady. He reached the old man’s house, wearing the monk and started calling, “There is an Hanuman devotee who can fulfill my wish?” The old lady came out after hearing the call and said, “I am present in your service, Maharaj, the order.” Sadhu (Hanuman ji) said, “I am hungry, I will eat. He begged the monk to tell another service that he could do. But the monks remained adamant on their point.
Finally, the monk asked the old lady to call his son Mangalia so that he too could eat. The old lady said sadly that now do not give me any more trouble by taking his name, because his son is no longer alive. On a lot of insisting the monk, the old woman gave a voice to his son “Mangalia” with a heavy heart. On hearing this, Mangalia laughed and ran into the house. Seeing her son alive, the old lady was very surprised and fell at the feet of the monk. Then Hanuman ji appeared in his true form and blessed the old lady of his true devotion.
