Every year during the sacred month of Magh, women in Nepal observe the Swastani Brata, a month-long fast dedicated to Goddess Swastani. This ritual includes reciting the Swastani Katha, a series of divine stories that bring spiritual growth, prosperity, and protection.
The story begins with Goddess Swastani, believed to be an incarnation of Goddess Parvati, who protects her devotees from evil and brings them peace and health. One of the most powerful tales is about a woman whose husband fell severely ill. With faith and devotion, she observed the fast, and Goddess Swastani appeared in a vision, offering guidance. Following the divine advice, her husband recovered, and their lives were blessed with health and happiness.
The Katha teaches important lessons about faith, devotion, and the well-being of family. Women observing the fast pray for their families’ prosperity, following a simple routine of fasting and reciting the Katha with purity and devotion.
At the end of the month, devotees believe they receive the blessings of Goddess Swastani, filling their lives with happiness, health, and protection. This sacred ritual continues to inspire women to overcome life’s challenges and lead prosperous lives under the goddess’s divine care.
