Story of Ahoi Ashtami (Ahoi Ashtami Katha)
According to the legend, in ancient times there was a moneylender. He had seven sons and one daughter. All the daughters were married. Once, a few days before Diwali, a moneylender’s daughter had come to her parents’ home. At that time, her sisters-in-law started going to the forest to collect soil for plastering the house, so she also went with them. Syahu (Sahi) lived with his seven sons at the place where the moneylender’s daughter was harvesting soil.
During this time, Syahu’s son inadvertently got injured by the scabbard of the moneylender’s daughter and he died. After this, angry Syahu talked about tying the womb of the moneylender’s daughter. Due to this fear, the moneylender’s daughter started crying and requested her sisters-in-law to get her womb tied, but everyone refused. However, her younger sister-in-law agreed with her sister-in-law. After this, the younger sister-in-law’s child would die seven days after birth. This was happening due to the curse of Syahu.
In this way his seven children died. At last he asked Pandit ji for its solution, then he told him to serve Surhi cow. Then he served Surhi cow wholeheartedly. One day, pleased with the service of her younger daughter-in-law, Surhi cow took her to Syahu. After this the younger daughter-in-law served Syahu. Syahu was pleased with his service and blessed him with seven sons and a daughter-in-law, since then, on the Ashtami of Kartik Krishna Paksha, a picture of Syahu is worshiped. It is also called Ahoi Aate
Ahoi Mata is considered to be the form of Goddess Parvati, who protects the children, hence on the day of Ahoi Ashtami, women fast and worship Ahoi Mata for the longevity, happiness and prosperity of their children.
