Story of Somvar Fast

The Somvar fast has its roots in Indian folklore. There are different myths about the originals of this fast and they vary from one region to another. The most frequently cited myth is given below: A poor Brahmin devotee of Lord Shiva would dedicate each Monday to fasting.

  2. Me n my husband living apart from one year.. is lord Shiva sixteen vrat will fruitful Fr me to rejoin both of us

    1. Yes you can do the Fasting / vrat on Mondays for benefits. It does bring quick result. Also would like to add that your horoscope and planetary period should also be supporting the reunion. If there is separation very strongly indicated in the horoscope than you need to do more than the fast for monday.

  6. Dear Sir, my father was very adamant and left my mother in streets and I’m the only one supporting my
    Mother and taking care. I’m well settled and want my father to rejoin with my mother.. we tried all ways but he was behaving day by day worst and he has all sort of bad habits and really worried if my father would change or not. Also my self and my wife are leaving apart for our job basis and only possible to meet on weekends. Please tell us this somvar vrat will reunite my parents and also reunite my self and my wife and all our family members. Please pass me your phone number and show us the solution

    1. Ask your mother to go and relieve one bird in custody in cages or elsewhere somewhere around the place where she is staying. A parrot pair will be ideal. If necessary she could buy the birds in the cage and set it free. And see what happens!!!

  8. Sir,
    My husband doesn’t co-operate and listens to his mother’s advice only. our marriage is 10 yrs. Old now. I have two small sons hence I’m pulling on to stay with him. He also tried to make them affectionate towards him and make my life lonely. He used to be interested in me but since 3 yrs he’s involved in different physical relations.
    Even I seperate he will keep meeting the kids n bias their minds.
