Kanya Puja is performed on the Ashtami and Navami tithi of Navratri. Ashtami of Navratri is known as Durga Ashtami and Maha Ashtami. This date has been dedicated to Mother Mahagauri. Mother Mahagauri is considered a symbol of religion and power.
On the day of Maha Ashtami, Goddess Mahagauri is worshiped with rituals. It is believed that by worshiping Mother Goddess properly on this day, one gets her blessings. Along with the worship of Mata Mahagauri, reciting the Vrat Katha is also considered very important, because the puja is not complete without reciting the Vrat Katha on the day of Maha Ashtami. In such a situation, let us know about the fast story of Mata Mahagauri.
Story of Mother Mahagauri (Mother Mahagauri’s fast story)
According to the mythological story related to Mata Mahagauri, Goddess Parvati performed severe penance so that she could get Lord Shiva as her husband. Mother sacrificed even food and water to get Lord Shiva as her husband. Due to harsh penance done by Mother, the fair complexion of Mother Parvati also started turning black with time, but Mother continued her harsh penance for thousands of years. At last Lord Bholenath was pleased with mother’s penance and appeared before her.
Pleased with the penance of his mother, Lord Shiva accepted her as his wife. Also, Lord Shiva bathed the mother with the holy water of Ganga present in his hair. After bathing with Ganga water, Mother’s form became radiant and white. This radiant and vigorous form of Mother Parvati is called Mother Mahagauri. By reciting this story on the Ashtami date of Navratri, Mother Mahagauri becomes happy and fulfills all the wishes of her devotees.
