Vat Savitri Vrat 2022: Legend Associated With This Day
King Ashvapati and his queen were childless, for a long time. After a dedicated penance, to Lord sun, they were blessed with a girl child who was named Savitri. The girl surprisingly was ascetically inclined even during her growing years. Unable to find a match for her, the parents allowed her to look out for a husband. During the groom search, she found the exiled blind king Dyumatsena and his charming son Satyavan in the dense forest. She expressed a desire to marry Satyavan. However, Maharshi Narad intervened and predicted a fatal danger to Satyavan's life after marriage. He foretold that the prince will die within a year of marrying Savitri. Savitri was blinded in love and concern and her humane instincts got the better of her at that moment. Willfully, she moved along with her husband to the forests and started living the life of a mendicant, relinquishing all royal comforts.
Time flew without notice and the couple had spent almost a year of wedded bliss. That fateful day arrived. Savitri began the fast, in the morning and later followed her husband to the forest. Death approached Satyavan and he collapsed to death while chopping the wood. Yama, the god of death, arrived at the scenario to take away Satyavan. Savitri decided to follow Yama till he returned her husband's soul back to her.
After three days and nights, Lord Yama gave in and asked Savitri for any three wishes that he will grant for her. Savitri, clever as she was, asked Yama to restore her husband's lost empire, and the vision to her blinded father-in-law. She did not give up on her sojourn at this point. Yama greatly perplexed decided to grant her another boon. This time, Savitri asked for progeny from Satyavan. Yama, who was at his wit's end, granted her immediately what she requested of him. As a result of her Tapasya, Satyavan rose from the dead and retrieved his lost empire including the lost vision of his blind father. Since this day, this saga of Savitri has inspired millions of Hindu women to follow her.
