ॐ ह्रां ह्रीं ह्रौं स: सूर्याय नम:
The fast of Sunday (Lord Surya) is the best for the fulfillment of all wishes. The method of this fast is as follows. In the morning, after retiring from bath, wear clean clothes. Keep calm and remember God. Food should not be taken more than once. Food and fruits should be eaten in the presence of sunlight. If the sun is hidden when you are fasting, then on the next day when the sun rises, eat food only after offering Arghya. The story of Surya Vrat should be heard at the end of the fast. Never take salty, oily food on the day of fasting. By observing this fast, honor and respect increases and enemies are destroyed. Apart from eye pain, all other pains are removed.
There was an old lady. She had a very simple rule that every Sunday in the morning, after bathing etc., after covering the house with the dung of the neighbor's cow, then preparing food and offering food to God herself. By observing such a fast, his house was full of wealth and happiness. After a few days passed like this, her neighbor started thinking that this old lady always takes my cow dung. So she started tying her cow inside the house. Due to the non-availability of cow dung to the old lady, she could not leave her house on Sunday. That's why he neither cooked food nor offered God bhog and he himself did not eat food. Thus he observed a fasting fast.
It was night and she went to bed hungry. In the night, God appeared to him in a dream and asked him the reason for not preparing food and not offering food. The old lady said, today I did not get cow dung to cover the house, due to which our house was not clean, due to which I could not even cook food or offer it to you.
Then God said- 'Mother! We give you such a cow from which all your desires are fulfilled. Because you always eat your own food on Sundays after making food from cow's dung at home and offering it to me. Being happy with this, I give this boon to you and give salvation in the last time. By giving such a boon in the dream, the Lord became intrigued and when the old woman opened her eyes, she saw that a beautiful cow and a calf were tied in the courtyard. She was very pleased to see the cow and the calf and tied them outside the house. She put the food there.
When her neighbor saw a beautiful cow and a calf outside the old lady's house, her heart lit up because of malice and when she saw that the cow had done gold dung, she took that cow's dung and took her cow's dung. was put in its place. She kept doing this regularly and did not let the simple old lady know about it. Then the omnipresent God thought that the old lady was being cheated by the deed of a cunning neighbor. In the evening, the Lord caused a great storm with his illusion. Fearing darkness, the old lady tied her cow inside the house. Waking up in the morning, when the old woman saw that the cow had given dung of gold, her surprise knew no bounds and she started tying the cow inside the house every day.
On the other hand, the neighbor saw that the old lady had started tying the cow inside the house and when her stake did not work to pick up the gold dung, she got jealous and did not see any way, she went to the meeting of the king of that country and said- 'Sir! An old lady in my neighborhood has a cow which is only worthy of kings like you. She gives golden dung everyday. You follow the people with that gold. What will that old woman do with so much gold?' Hearing this, the king ordered his messengers to bring the cow from the old woman's house. The old lady was about to go to get the food offered to God in the morning when the king's servants took away the cow. The old lady cried a lot, but what would anyone say in front of the employees? On that day the old woman could not eat food due to the separation of the cow and kept crying throughout the night and praying to God to get the cow back.
There the king was very pleased to see the cow. But as soon as he got up in the morning, the whole palace looked full of dung. The king was horrified seeing this. God said in a dream to the king in the night- 'King! It is good for you to return the old cow. Pleased with his Sunday fast, I gave him a cow. As soon as the morning dawned, the king called the old lady and returned the cow and calf with respect along with a lot of money. His neighbor was called and given the appropriate punishment. After doing this the dirt was removed from the king's palace.
From that day onwards, the king ordered the residents of the city to observe a fast on Sundays for the fulfillment of all their wishes for the kingdom. By observing the fast, the people of the city started leading a happy life. There was no disease or wrath of nature on that city. All the people started living happily.
