Hariyali Teej 2025 Vrat Katha (हरियाली तीज व्रत कथा)
पुराणों के अनुसार, देवी सती ने पूर्वजन्म में अपने पिता दक्ष प्रजापति के यज्ञ में स्वयं को अग्नि में भस्म कर दिया था, क्योंकि उनके पिता ने भगवान शिव का अपमान किया था। अगले जन्म में सती ने हिमवान राजा के घर पार्वती के रूप में जन्म लिया।
पार्वती जी ने भगवान शिव को पुनः पति रूप में प्राप्त करने के लिए कठोर तपस्या की। उन्होंने कई वर्षों तक कठिन व्रत और तप करके शिव जी को प्रसन्न किया। कहते हैं कि पार्वती जी ने 107 जन्मों तक शिव जी को पति रूप में पाने की कामना से तपस्या की, और 108वें जन्म में उनका यह व्रत सफल हुआ।
हरियाली तीज के दिन माता पार्वती ने घोर व्रत रखा था और शिव जी से विवाह की मनोकामना की थी। अंततः भगवान शिव उनकी भक्ति से प्रसन्न हुए और उन्हें पत्नी रूप में स्वीकार किया।
इस दिन को भगवान शिव और माता पार्वती के पुनर्मिलन का शुभ दिन माना जाता है। इसलिए विवाहित स्त्रियां इस दिन व्रत रखती हैं और पति की लंबी उम्र और सुखी वैवाहिक जीवन की कामना करती हैं।
व्रत का महत्व:
यह व्रत सुहाग की रक्षा के लिए किया जाता है।
विवाहित महिलाएं शृंगार करती हैं, हरे वस्त्र पहनती हैं और झूला झूलती हैं।
इस दिन महिलाएं गीत गाती हैं, देवी पार्वती की पूजा करती हैं और व्रत कथा सुनती हैं।
Hariyali Teej 2025 Vrat Katha in English
According to the Puranas, in her previous birth, Devi Sati immolated herself in the sacrificial fire at the yajna organized by her father, King Daksha Prajapati, because he had insulted Lord Shiva. In her next birth, Sati was reborn as Parvati, the daughter of King Himavan.
To reunite with Lord Shiva as her husband, Goddess Parvati undertook severe penance. She observed austere fasts and performed intense tapasya (spiritual discipline) for many years to please Lord Shiva. It is said that Parvati observed this penance for 107 lifetimes with the desire to have Shiva as her husband, and finally, in her 108th birth, her wish was fulfilled.
On the day of Hariyali Teej, Goddess Parvati observed a strict fast and prayed to be united with Lord Shiva in marriage. Pleased by her unwavering devotion, Lord Shiva accepted her as his consort.
This day is considered highly auspicious, as it marks the divine reunion of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Hence, married women observe this fast and worship the divine couple, praying for the long life of their husbands and a blissful married life.
