His wife used to observe fasts on Tuesdays to placate the Lord. She used to take her food on Mondays only after offering Prasad to Lord Hanuman. Once she observed some special fast for the whole day. So she could not offer Prasad to Hanuman. She was very sorry for it and felt guilty. She decided to observe a fast till the coming Tuesday.

She said to herself that she would take her meals only after offering Prasad to Hanuman. She became weak and fragile and even fainted due to the long fast. Hanuman took pity on her and appeared before her in the guise of a child. Hanuman said I bless you with a beautiful son. He will always serve you, day and night. He then disappeared after blessing the lady.

Fortunately, the lady got a beautiful son. She named him Mangal. The Brahman returned home after some months. He saw a handsome child playing in his courtyard. He became suspicious and said to his wife, Whose child Is this? Have you indulged in adultery? The woman said politely, My dear husband, I am a chaste lady. I used to observe Tuesday fast in your absence to please Lord Hanuman. He has blessed me with this child. Please believe me.

The Brahman kept mum but deep in his heart, doubts began to curl up every moment. The lady was helpless. One day the Brahman was going to take his bath at some nearby well. The lady told him, Please take Mangal along with you. He is quite grown-up. He will fetch water for your bath. He will also rub your back.

The Brahman agreed and took the boy along with him. He thought it would be a good occasion to push him into the well and to get rid of a sinful child for good. As the boy was to fetch water, the Brahman pushed the boy into the well and returned home. To her great surprise, the woman noticed that the Brahman did not have wet dhoti on his shoulders. She said, Have you taken your bath? The Brahman said, Yes.

The lady said, Please give me your wet dhoti to enable me to spread it on the string. The Brahman was nonplussed. He had a guilty conscience. He murmured some words and tried to leave the house. The wife said, Where is my Mangal? Where is my Mangal? O! Mangal, appear before my eyes if I am a cheste lady and you are my true son.

To the great surprise of both the wife and the husband, Mangal appeared at the door. He embraced his mother and touched his father’s feet. That might Lord Hanuman appeared before the Brahman in his dreams and said, O! poor creature, I blessed you with a son, and you suspect your wife of adultery. You must feel sorry for it.

The Brahman realized his mistake. His wife regularly observed fasts on Tuesdays. Thereafter they led a happy life. It is said that whosoever reads or listens to this story and keeps regular fasts Lord Hanuman protects him from air evils and bestows all happiness.

Mangalvar Vrat Katha in Hindi

ऋषिनगर में केशवदत्त ब्राह्मण अपनी पत्नी अंजलि के साथ रहता था। केशवदत्त के घर में धन-संपत्ति की कोई कमी नहीं थी। नगर में सभी केशवदत्त का सम्मान करते थे, लेकिन केशवदत्त संतान नहीं होने से बहुत चिंतित रहता था। दोनों पति-पत्नी प्रति मंगलवार को मंदिर में जाकर हनुमानजी की पूजा करते थे। विधिवत मंगलवार का व्रत करते हुए कई वर्ष बीत गए। ब्राह्मण बहुत निराश हो गया, लेकिन उसने व्रत करना नहीं छोड़ा। कुछ दिनों के बाद केशवदत्त हनुमानजी की पूजा करने के लिए जंगल में चला गया। उसकी पत्नी अंजलि घर में रहकर मंगलवार का व्रत करने लगी।

दोनों पति-पत्नी पुत्र-प्राप्ति के लिए मंगलवार का विधिवत व्रत करने लगे। कुछ दिनों बाद अंजलि ने अगले मंगलवार को व्रत किया लेकिन किसी कारणवश उस दिन अंजलि हनुमानजी को भोग नहीं लगा सकी और उस दिन वह सूर्यास्त के बाद भूखी ही सो गई। अगले मंगलवार को हनुमानजी को भोग लगाए बिना उसने भोजन नहीं करने का प्रण कर लिया। छः दिन तक अंजलि भूखी-प्यासी रही। सातवें दिन मंगलवार को अंजलि ने हनुमानजी की पूजा की, लेकिन तभी भूख-प्यास के कारण अंजलि बेहोश हो गई। हनुमानजी ने उसे स्वप्न में दर्शन देते हुए कहा- ‘उठो पुत्री! मैं तुम्हारी पूजा-पाठ से बहुत प्रसन्न हूँ। तुम्हें सुंदर और सुयोग्य पुत्र होने का वर देता हूँ।’

यह कहकर हनुमानजी अंतर्धान हो गए। तत्काल अंजलि ने उठकर हनुमानजी को भोग लगाया और स्वयं भोजन किया। हनुमानजी की अनुकम्पा से अंजलि ने एक सुंदर शिशु को जन्म दिया। मंगलवार को जन्म लेने के कारण उस बच्चे का नाम मंगलप्रसाद रखा गया। कुछ दिनों बाद अंजलि का पति केशवदत्त भी घर लौट आया। उसने मंगल को देखा तो अंजलि से पूछा- ‘यह सुंदर बच्चा किसका है?’ अंजलि ने खुश होते हुए हनुमानजी के दर्शन देने और पुत्र प्राप्त होने का वरदान देने की सारी कथा सुना दी। लेकिन केशवदत्त को उसकी बातों पर विश्वास नहीं हुआ। उसके मन में पता नहीं कैसे यह कलुषित विचार आ गया कि अंजलि ने उसके साथ विश्वासघात किया है। अपने पापों को छिपाने के लिए अंजलि झूठ बोल रही है। केशवदत्त ने उस बच्चे को मार डालने की योजना बनाई। एक दिन केशवदत स्नान के लिए कुएँ पर गया। मंगल भी उसके साथ था।

केशवदत्त ने मौका देखकर मंगल को कुएँ में फेंक दिया और घर आकर बहाना बना दिया कि मंगल तो कुएँ पर मेरे पास पहुँचा ही नहीं। केशवदत्त के इतने कहने के ठीक बाद मंगल दौड़ता हुआ घर लौट आया। केशवदत्त मंगल को देखकर बुरी तरह हैरान हो उठा। उसी रात हनुमानजी ने केशवदत्त को स्वप्न में दर्शन देते हुए कहा- ‘तुम दोनों के मंगलवार के व्रत करने से प्रसन्न होकर, पुत्रजन्म का वर मैंने दिया था। फिर तुम अपनी पत्नी को कुलटा क्यों समझते हो!’ उसी समय केशवदत्त ने अंजलि को जगाकर उससे क्षमा माँगते हुए स्वप्न में हनुमानजी के दर्शन देने की सारी कहानी सुनाई। केशवदत्त ने अपने बेटे को हृदय से लगाकर बहुत प्यार किया। उस दिन के बाद सभी आनंदपूर्वक रहने लगे। मंगलवार का विधिवत व्रत करने से केशवदत्त और उनके सभी कष्ट दूर हो गए। इस तरह जो स्त्री-पुरुष विधिवत मंगलवार का व्रत करके व्रतकथा सुनते हैं, हनुमानजी उनके सभी कष्ट दूर करके घर में धन-संपत्ति का भंडार भर देते हैं। शरीर के सभी रक्त विकार के रोग भी नष्ट हो जाते हैं।

The legend that depicts the influence of the worship of MANGAL goes as follows, and is narrated whenever a worship or offering is made to the deity:

An old woman used to observe fast on every Tuesday and chanted Mangal Mantras to appease the Lord Mangal. Her son was named Mangaliya. Lord Mangal desired to test the piety of this old woman. He arrived at her home in the disguise of a Brahmin. He asked her “I am hungry and I shall prepare my own food but you must plaster the ground with cow-dung.” The woman then explained to him that since it was a Tuesday; she does not plaster cow-dung on that day. Instead she offered to sprinkle water so the Brahmin could prepare his food. The Brahmin insisted on only cooking on a cow-dung plastered surface. The woman refused and said that she could do anything else except cow-dung plaster. The Brahmin said, “Let your son lie upside down, I shall cook on his back.”

After some thought, the woman agreed to this bound by her Dharma and called her son. The disguised Brahmin lit the furnace on his back and cooked his food. After cooking, the Brahmin asked the woman to call her son so that he could take the auspicious food. The woman, in grief, told him to not make such cruel jokes and since after cooking on his back, he would not have survived. The Brahmin explained and insisted that she call the son. When the woman called, the son came running. The Brahmin said, “Old woman, your fast is successful. With kindness, your mind is also full of devotion and faith. May you be ever happy.” The deity (Mangal) in disguise disappeared. This story explains the benefits of Mangal worship and chanting.

The story behind Mangalvar vrat

used to pray to Lord Hanuman to seek his blessings for a healthy child. Once, Nanda went to the dense jungle to pray to Hanuman ji to bless him with a child; on the other side, his wife used to pray to hanuman ji daily. She used to keep fast on Tuesdays and offer food to Lord Hanuman before having any.

One fine Tuesday, she could not prepare food and feed Lord Hanuman due to another fast. She became sorrowful, slept on an empty stomach, and decided not to eat before offering food to Lord Hanuman until the following Tuesday. She went on fasting for the next six days without water and food.

She fainted early the next Tuesday due to hunger and starvation. Hanuman ji was impressed with her faith and belief and appeared before her. He blessed her with a little boy, Sunanda, named ‘Mangal.’ When her husband returned from the forest, he questioned her about the child, to which she replied with her side of the story.

The Brahim considering it hard to believe, was suspicious and refused to believe the same. One day, when Nanda was leaving for a bath, his wife asked him to take Mangal along, he agreed, but seeking a chance, he pushed the little child to a well

When Sunanda asked him about the child on his return, Mangal returned even before Nanda could respond. While Nanda couldn’t understand what had happened, he slept. Hanuman ji appeared in his dreams and clarified that his wife was right, and he blessed them with a little version of Lord Hanuman and how doubting his wife is a wrongful act of Nanda.After this, the Brahmin got happy, accepted his wife and their son, and the family lived happily. Sunanda continued her Tuesday fasts, and Hanuman ji continued his blessings on them.

The old woman was existing with her little daughter in lawand she used to get four chappatis on Tuesday from her daughter in law. The old woman used to offer two chappatis to Lord Hanuman and consume the other two.

One day the little daughter in law figured out that the old woman was putting forth chappatis to Hanuman and not consuming it completely and squandering them. Next Tuesday she just gave two chapattis. The old woman offered one to Lord Hanuman and consumed the other one.

At the point when the little daughter in law came to think about this she was extremely irate and on next Tuesday she just provided for one chappati. The old woman parts the chappati into two and gave a part to Lord Hanuman and consumed the other part.

The daughter in law suspected that there is no reason for bolstering the old woman as she was squandering sustenance at her family’s cost. So on next Tuesday she didn’t give any sustenance to the old woman.

The old woman went to Hanuman Temple with nothing in her hands and began petitioning Hanuman. The Young person showed up there and asked her for what valid reason is not breaking the fast and imparting her nourishment to Hanuman. The old woman told what happened that today she doesn’t have anything to impart to Hanuman.

The young person welcomed the old women to his home and made a guarantee to her that he will give her day by day milk, chappati, sugar and margarine and she can impart it to Lord Hanuman.

The old woman was extremely content and the young person requested that her stay with him. The daughter in law never fretted over her as she considered the old woman to be a trouble.

The things started to change at the daughter in law home. There were illnesses, mischances and different adversities at her home and they got to be to a great degree poor that they couldn’t manage the cost of even a solitary supper.

The daughter in law soon understood that this was because of her denying sustenance to the old woman. She then chose to bring back the old woman. She went to the young person’s home and asked the old woman to excuse her for her errors.

The old woman absolved her and told the young person that the time it now, time for her to clear out. She needed the young person to accompany her. The young person said that at whatever point she needs to see him she can go to the Hanuman Temple.

That night the old woman had a fantasy in which she saw that the young person was as a general rule Lord Hanuman. Tears trickled from the old woman’s eyes. She couldn’t request more ? It was Hanuman that was securing her and sustaining her.

The Old women portrayed this to her family member and relatives from then the daughter in law began the Mangalvar vrat and the family was honored with flourishing.

Mangalvar Vrat Katha

Once upon a time, a Brahmin couple lived in a small village. The couple was having a hard time in terms of having children, so the wife started observing the Mangalvar Vrat (Tuesday Fast) to please the Sankatmochan, Lord Hanuman. One fine day, the husband had to go to a nearby city for a few months for some work. The wife stayed at home and worshipped Lord Hanuman with utmost dedication and devotion. Finally, moved by her devotion, Lord Hanuman blessed the lady with a little boy after she fasted for 21 Tuesdays. The husband returned home after a few months and was shocked to see the little child playing in his wife’s lap.

He started questioning his wife’s fidelity. He suspected his wife of adultery and tried to kill the child too. The lady tried to convince him that it was their son who had come into life as a blessing of Lord Hanuman but all in vain. Therefore, Lord Hanuman himself decided to help the worried wife. So, he came into the dreams of the husband and told him the entire story. The Brahmin realized his mistake, felt guilty about it and apologized to his wife the next morning for his insensitive behaviour. He accepted both his wife and son with full love and respect. Since then, Hindus have a belief that observing the Mangalvar Vrat helps the devotees to receive their desired blessings from Lord Hanuman.
