Today is the Chaturthi date of Krishna Paksha of Jyeshtha month. Today is Ekadanta Sankashti Chaturthi fast. On this day, by worshiping Lord Ganesha and reciting Ekadant Sankashti Chaturthi’s fasting story, the sorrow, suffering, sin, and trouble are removed. It is believed by the people that with the blessings of Lord Ganesha, the wishes are fulfilled.

Worshiping the moon during the night is mandatory during the Sankashti Chaturthi fast. Without this Sankashti Chaturthi, the fast is not completed. However, watching the moon in Vinayaka Chaturthi fast is also prohibited as there is a fear of false stigma about it.

Sankashti Chaturthi is a day celebrated every year on May 19. This day is dedicated to Lord Ganesha. Sankashta Chaturthi is observed on the Chaturthi of Vadya Paksha of every Marathi month. The tradition of worshiping Lord Ganesha by fasting all day long has been going on since time immemorial. Sankashta Chaturthi is fasted to gain eternal devotion to Ganesha. Sankashta Chaturthi can be fasted by anyone.

Today, on Thursday, Lord Vishnu and Dev Guru Brihaspati are worshipped. It is believed that worshiping both of them creates a possibility of auspicious work happening in the house. If there is any delay in marriage, then those people observe fast on this day and worship Lord Vishnu. Also, the banana plant is worshipped because it is believed to be the abode of Shri Hari Vishnu. While worshipping, the fasters offer gram dal, jaggery, or gram flour laddoos or halwa.

Vikat Sankashti Chaturthi is one of the most important festivals in Sanatan Dharma. It falls in the month of Vaishkha, on the fourth day of Krishna Paksha. The day will be observed on April 19, 2022.

Devotees perform prayers to Lord Ganesh and fast on the Vikata Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat. This fast is considered to be one of the most special occasion in Hinduism since it is believed that all hurdles will be removed of a person on this day. Sankashti is a Sanskrit word that means “to save from trouble.” On this day, Lord Shiva is also said to have acknowledged his son superior to all other gods.

Sankashti is a Sanskrit word that signifies “deliverance.” Devotees pray to Lord Ganesha for a joyful and trouble-free existence since he is known as Dukhharta (remover of sorrows) and Vighnaharta (remover of difficulties). The Moon has a special significance on this day since the fast is only broken after presenting Arghya (water) to the Moon God.
