The fast of Lalita Saptami falls exactly one day before Shri Radha Ashtami, so its importance increases even more. This fast is considered extremely fruitful for newly married couples. It is believed that the couple who worship Goddess Lalita on this day, their married life is full of happiness, prosperity and love.
Law of Lalita Saptami
A person observing the fast should get up early in the morning and take a bath and wear clean clothes. Clean the place of worship and install the idol or picture of Radha-Krishna and Goddess Lalita there. Before starting the puja, take a pledge to take a fast with water in your hand. Offer red clothes, flowers, makeup materials and sweets to Goddess Lalita. It is considered auspicious to use the Tulsi Dal in worship. It is fruitful to chant the mantra ‘Hr Lalitayai Namah’. Apart from this, you can also chant the name of Radha-Krishna. At the end of the puja, perform the aarti of Goddess Lalita, Radha and Krishna. Keep fast throughout the day and after worship in the evening, you can do fruits.
What is its relationship with Radha Ashtami?
The birth anniversary of Radha Rani is celebrated as Radha Ashtami, just one day after Lalita Saptami, i.e. on the Ashtami date of Bhadrapada month. We prepare for Radha Ashtami in a way by worshiping Lalita, the beloved Sakhi of Radha-Krishna on Lalita Saptami. Both these festivals are deeply connected to each other and it is considered very auspicious to follow them together. This fast is not only a symbol of religious faith, but it also gives an opportunity to strengthen mutual love and faith. This fast to the newly married couples helps in increasing dedication and affection for each other, so that their marital life always remains happy.
