fast ahoi story
In ancient times, a moneylender’s wife lived in a village. He had seven children. Once, a few days before Diwali, the moneylender’s wife went to collect soil from the forest to decorate her house. While digging the ground, a baby porcupine was accidentally killed by his shovel. The pawnbroker’s wife was very sorry for this incident. But she came home.
After that incident, gradually his seven children died one by one. The moneylender and his wife were very sad. One day the pawnbroker’s wife asked a priest the reason for his pain. The Pandit told him that since the day Syah’s son died, his children have been dying. The Pandit suggested him to observe the Ahoi Mata fast on the Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha in the month of Kartik and repent with a sincere heart.
The moneylender’s wife kept a fast and worshiped Ahoi Mata on the advice of the Pandit. Mother Ahoi was pleased with his devotion and adoration and gave life to all her children. Since then, it is believed that women who observe the Ahoi Mata fast on this day and worship it devoutly, their children are blessed with long life and prosperity.
