Vighnraj Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat Katha
According to the Puranas, Usha, the daughter of Banasura, saw Anirudh in her dream one night. The grief of getting away from Anirudh started to persecute him so much that his mind became restless for peace. He requested his friend Chitralekha to make pictures of all the people living in Tribhuvan. When Chitralekha identified Anirudh, Usha ordered her to find her immediately, otherwise she will give up her life.
Chitralekha, who was proficient in the demonic Maya, reached Dwarkapuri and kidnapped Anirudh at night and brought him to the city of Banasura. This incident drowned Pradyumna, Anirudh’s father, drowned in deep mourning and faced incurable disease. Rukmini ji also started praying to Krishnaji.
Sri Krishna ji took guidance from Lomash Rishi to know the solution to this situation. Rishi told that Anirudh was kidnapped by Usha’s friend Chitralekha and he has been kept safe in the palace of Banasura. Lomash Rishi advised Shri Krishna to fast on the Chaturthi of Krishna Paksha of Ashwin month.
Shri Krishna observed the fast and defeated Banasura with its influence. The glory of fasting was considered to be a special contribution in cutting the thousands of arms of Banasura. It is said that this fast of Sankashti Chaturthi destroys all calamity and difficulties. Therefore, by reciting Ganesha worship and fast story on this Chaturthi, the obstacles in life are removed and happiness and peace arrives.
