फाल्गुन संकष्टी चतुर्थी के दिन सुबह जल्दी उठकर स्नान करें और भगवान गणेश को फूल और चावल चढ़ाकर व्रत का संकल्प लें। हिंदू वर्ष के अंतिम महीने में इस शुभ दिन को मनाने से सच्चे मन से की गई पूजा से विशेष आशीर्वाद और फल की प्राप्ति होती है।
Worshiping Lord Ganesha during the fasting of Sankashti Chaturthi fulfills all the wishes. The Chaturthi that comes after the full moon is called Sankashti Chaturthi. The month of Falgun is the last month of the Hindu year. Ganesh Chaturthi or Sankashti Chaturthi fast is worshiped on the Chaturthi Tithi of Krishna Paksha of this month. Apart from Sarvartha Siddhi, there is also an auspicious yoga called Amrit Siddhi on this day. In such a situation, worshiping Lord Ganesha and fasting will be very beneficial.
It is a matter of golden age. Then there was the kingdom of a Dharmamatma king. That king was a great godmother. There was a very religious Brahmin in his kingdom, his name was Vishnu Sharma.
Vishnu Sharma had 7 sons. They all lived separately. When Vishnu Sharma's growth stage came, he told all the daughters-in-law – all of you should fast on Ganesh Chaturthi. "Vishnu Sharma himself also used to observe this fast." Now when he became old, he wanted to entrust this responsibility to the daughters-in-law.
When he asked the daughters-in-law for this fast, the daughters-in-law insulted him by disobeying him, shrinking his nose and eyebrows. In the end, the younger daughter-in-law accepted the advice of her father-in-law. He fasted with his father-in-law by arranging the items of worship and did not eat food. The father-in-law was given food. When midnight passed, Vishnu Sharma developed vomiting and diarrhea. The younger daughter-in-law washed and wiped the body of the father-in-law after cleaning the clothes spoiled by excreta and urine. Stayed awake the whole night without eating or drinking anything.
Ganesh ji showered his blessings on both of them. The father-in-law's health got better and the younger daughter-in-law's house was completed with money and food. Then other daughters-in-law were also inspired by this incident and they also fasted on Ganesha.
By fasting for twelve months Shukla IV, giving donations and dakshina, the supreme compassionate Ganesha, fulfilling all the wishes, destroys the loop of birth and death and finally gives a place in his divine world.
