Vat Savitri Vrat is on June 5; know the whole story of Vat Savitri Vrat

Vatamule is falling on June 5. This fast is celebrated every year on Jyestha Purnima. Married women observe this fast to get the blessings of Akhand Saubhagyavati. 

On this day, there is special worship of the Vat tree. But according to the belief, the virtue of observing the Vat Purnima fast is obtained only when the story of this fast is heard. 

Vat Savitri Vrat’s myth is as follows

According to the legend, there was a king named Ashwapati. Savitri was born as a daughter in the king’s house. When she was married, the king sent Savitri and her minister to choose her husband. 

Savitri chose Satyavan to suit her mind. Satyavan Maharaj was the son of Dumatsen, whose kingdom had been taken away, who had become blind and lived in the forests with his wife.

At the same time, when Savitri returned after getting married, Narada Ji congratulated Ashwapati. At the same time, Naradamuni said that Satyavan is in shortage. 

He will die soon. On hearing Naradji, King Ashwapati’s face faded. He advised Savitri to choose her husband for someone else. 

Savitri finds out the time of Satyavan’s death from Naradji. Savitri started fasting three days before the day told by Naradji. 

When Satyavan went to the forest to cut wood on the fixed date by Naradji, she also left with Satyavan after taking orders from his mother-in-law. 

Satyavan reached the forest and climbed a tree to cut wood. After jumping on the tree, his head started experiencing severe pain. 

He descended and died. Savitri lays him under the banyan tree and puts his head on her thigh. Seeing this, Yamraj explained the outline of the law of Brahmaji in front of Savitri and took the life of Satyavan. ‘Somewhere, there is a mention that the snake-bitten Satyavan is lying under the tree.’ 

Savitri, along with Satyavan under the Vat tree and followed Yamraj. After coming back, Savitri was ordered by Yamraj to return to him. 

On this, she said, Maharaj, I can’t leave my husband alone. I will come along with him; this is religion, dignity. Pleased with their devotion to Savitri, Yamraj said they ask for anything other than her husband’s life. Savitri asked Yamraj for the light and longevity of the mother-in-law’s eyes. 

Yamraj and Aastu moved forward. Savitri followed Yamraj. When Yamraj asked Savitri to come back after her, Savitri said there is no meaning in a woman’s life without a husband. 

Yamraj was happy with Savitri’s husband’s fasting religion and asked for a blessing again. This time she prayed to bring back his father-in-law’s kingdom.

Yamraj went ahead by saying Vastu. Savitri still followed Yamraj. This time Savitri asked Yamraj to be the boon of becoming the mother of hundred sons. 

When Yamaraj says Aastastu, Savitri said you had given me the boon of hundred sons, but how can I become a mother without a husband? Complete your third boon.

Knowing Savitri’s devotion, knowledge, wisdom, and husband’s religion, Yamraj freed Satyavan’s life from his loop. 

Savitri took Satyavan’s life under the Vat tree where Satyavan’s dead body was kept. 

When Savitri turned around the tree, Satyavan became alive. Pleased, Savitri reached her mother-in-law and got her husband back.
