Hartalika Teej 2025 Vrat Katha In Hindi
पार्वती एक सुंदर और युवा लड़की थीं, जो हिमालय राजा की बेटी थीं। उन्होंने भगवान शिव को अपना पति बनाने की इच्छा रखी और उनकी तपस्या करने लगीं। लेकिन उनके पिता ने पार्वती के लिए भगवान विष्णु का विवाह प्रस्ताव स्वीकार कर लिया था, बिना उनकी इच्छा जाने। जब पार्वती को अपने विवाह के बारे में पता चला, तो उन्होंने अपनी सहेली से चर्चा की और जंगल में चली गईं। उनकी सहेली ने उन्हें भगवान शिव की तपस्या करने की सलाह दी, ताकि उनकी इच्छा पूरी हो सके।
लंबे समय तक व्रत और पूजा करने के बाद, पार्वती ने भगवान शिव को अपनी भक्ति से प्रसन्न किया और उन्होंने उन्हें अपनी पत्नी के रूप में स्वीकार किया। इसके बाद, पार्वती घर लौटीं और अपने माता-पिता को भगवान शिव के साथ विवाह की इच्छा बताई। देवताओं और देवियों ने उनके विवाह को संपन्न किया। हर्तालिका तीज व्रत की कहानी भक्ति, विश्वास, और निष्ठा के महत्व को दर्शाती है। यह व्रत महिलाओं को अपने लक्ष्यों के प्रति दृढ़ रहने और सच्ची मित्रता के महत्व को भी उजागर करता है। पार्वती और हर्तालिका की कथा महिलाओं को प्रेरित करती है कि वे अपने उद्देश्यों की प्राप्ति के लिए प्रयासरत रहें और ईश्वरीय कृपा प्राप्त करें।
