Akha Teej ki Katha
Akha Teej (fast) ki Katha
It falls on the third day of the bright half of Vaisakh (April - May). Parshu Ram, the sixth incarnation of Vishnu was also born on this day. It is believed that a secret donation on this day can make the person and his family very prosperous in this world and also in the next life. People fast on this day and offer prayers to God on behalf of their ancestors.
The story of the fast is that king Yudhishtra (eldest brother of Pandus) performed Rajsuya Yajna (Yagya) to pronounce that he was a king of the world. He invited many Chiefs and kings and made announcements of his donations. He was told that he was wrong in making the announcement of his donations and advised that secret donations would benefit him more in this life and also in the next world. After that, the king felt ashamed and decided to give secret donations and fast on Akha Teej day to get eternal salvation.
