मंगलवार के दिन ब्रह्म मुहूर्त में उठ कर स्नान आदि करके हनुमान जी के सामने घी का दीपक जला कर व्रत का संकल्प करें। भगवान हनुमान का व्रत करने से भक्त या उपासक को कोई भी नकारात्मक शक्ति से भय नहीं रहता। जिन भक्तों को शनि देव की साढ़े साती हो वो भी इस व्रत को करते हैं।
॥ॐ हनुमते नमः॥
A Brahmin couple used to be very sad because of childlessness. The Brahmin went to the forest to worship and started wishing Hanuman ji for a son. At home, his wife also used to fast on Tuesdays to get a son. On Tuesday, at the end of the fast, she used to offer food to Hanuman ji. Once on the day of the fast, the Brahmin could neither prepare food nor offer food. Then she vowed that after offering Bhog on the next Mars only, she would take food. After six days of hunger and thirst, she fainted on Tuesday.
Hanuman ji was pleased to see his devotion and dedication. He appeared to him and said that he was pleased with him and would give him the boon of a child, who would serve him. After this Hanuman ji disappeared after giving him a child. The Brahmin became very pleased with this and named the boy Mangal. After some time when the Brahmin came home, seeing the boy, he asked who he was. The wife told the whole story. Knowing his wife's words were deceitful, the Brahmin thought that his wife was an adulterous wife. One day, seeing the opportunity, the Brahmin pushed the boy into the well, and the Brahmin panicked when his wife asked him at home. Mangal came smiling from behind. The Brahmin was astonished. At night Hanuman ji told him all the stories in a dream, so the Brahmin was very happy. Then the couple started living a life of bliss by keeping a fast on Mars.
