Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Jai Sree Krsna, Has anybody heard of evrat jivrat / diwaso which is today? I know it is a fast that married women do in the first year of their marriage . They must fast the whole day and then stay awake the whole night and the whole day the following day and sleep at next night. Can anybody please tell me more about this fast? And why it is done? Thank you. Radheradhe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I know that this is done for your husband's long life and well being. The story comes from the legend of a new bride whose husband died on the wedding day and she sought the help of 4 Devis- Evrat Ma, Jivrat Ma, Jaya Ma and Dasha Ma to enliven him. In return she had to promise her children which the Matajis took but this caused her mother in law to brand her a witch. Eventually she had a daughter and all was revealed with her sons returned to her. I have done this for 5 years but was meant to celebrate it last year. However i was given wrong advice and am now told that I can't celebrate till I do 7 years. This is fine except that my husband is trying to divorce me and I may be divorced by next year! Has anyone got any suggestions? I was planning to carry on and celebrate next year regardless as I still love my husband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
