Mangala Gauri Vrat Katha
In ancient times a merchant named Dharmapala lived in a town
with his wife. There was no dearth of wealth in his house, and his wife was
also very intelligent and virtuous. He had all kinds of happiness in his life,
except for one thing. Dharmapala did not have any child, and to beget a child,
he used to do a lot of fasting, rituals and charity along with his wife. Seeing
his good deeds, God was pleased with him, and in some time, the merchant was
blessed with a child. But his happiness waned when after the birth of the son,
astrologers predicted that the child was short-lived and would die of a
snakebite in the sixteenth year of his life.
Dharmapala got very distressed, but he left all his worries
to God. He got his son married to a beautiful girl. Incidentally, the
girl’s mother used to observe the Mangla Gauri fast, due to which the girl was
blessed with unbroken good fortune. As a result of this fast, Dharmapala’s son
got a long life and lived a happy life.
Mangla Gauri Vrat
ॐ रक्ष-रक्ष जगन्माते देवि मङ्गल चण्डिके ।
हारिके विपदार्राशे हर्षमंगल कारिके ॥
हर्षमंगल दक्षे च हर्षमंगल दायिके ।
शुभेमंगल दक्षे च शुभेमंगल चंडिके ॥
मंगले मंगलार्हे च सर्वमंगल मंगले ।
सता मंगल दे देवि सर्वेषां मंगलालये ॥
पूज्ये मंगलवारे च मंगलाभिष्ट देवते ।
पूज्ये मंगल भूपस्य मनुवंशस्य संततम् ॥
मंगला धिस्ठात देवि मंगलाञ्च मंगले।
संसार मंगलाधारे पारे च सर्वकर्मणाम् ॥
देव्याश्च मंगलंस्तोत्रं यः श्रृणोति समाहितः।
प्रति मंगलवारे च पूज्ये मंगल सुख-प्रदे ॥
तन्मंगलं भवेतस्य न भवेन्तद्-मंगलम् ।
वर्धते पुत्र-पौत्रश्च मंगलञ्च दिने-दिने ॥
मामरक्ष रक्ष-रक्ष ॐ मंगल मंगले ।
॥ इति मंगलागौरी स्तोत्रं सम्पूर्णं ॥
Reciting this stotra gives blessings of Mata Parvati and Lord Shiva. This gives long life to husband.
पौराणिक कथा के
अनुसार, एक नगर में धर्मपाल नाम का एक व्यापारी रहता था। उसकी पत्नी बहुत खूबसूरत थी
और उसके पास धन संपत्ति की भी कोई कमी नहीं थी। लेकिन, संतान न होने के कारण वह
बहुत दुखी रहता था। लेकिन, भगवान की कृपा के बाद उन्हें एक पुत्र की प्राप्ति हुई।
लेकिन, उसकी अल्पायु थी। 16 वर्ष की आयु के बाद सर्प के काटने की उसकी मृत्यु हो जाएगी।
संयोग से 16 वर्ष का पूरा होने से पहले ही उसकी शादी हो गई। जिस कन्या से उसका विवाह हुआ
था। उस कन्या की माता मंगला गौरी व्रत किया करती थी। मां गौरी के व्रत के कारण उस
महिला की कन्या को आशीर्वाद प्राप्त हुआ था कि वह कभी भी विधवा नहीं होगी। मान्यता
है कि अपनी माता के इस आशीर्वाद से उसे अखंड सौभाग्य की प्राप्ति हुई और धर्मपाल
के बेटे को 100 वर्ष की आयु प्राप्त हुई। इसलिए सुहागन महिलाएं अपने पति की
लंबी आयु के लिए मंगला गौरी व्रत करती हैं।
