Vikat Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat Katha
According to the legend, once a great crisis befell all the gods and goddesses. When he could not find a solution to the problem on his own, he went to Lord Shiva to ask for help.
When Lord Shiva asked Ganesha and Kartikeya to solve the problem, both the brothers said that they would solve it easily. Thus Shivji came into dilemma. He said that the one who comes to me first after circling this earth will be the one who will find the solution.
Without any delay, Lord Kartikeya set out to revolve around the earth riding on his vehicle peacock. Ganesh ji had a mouse riding there.
In such a situation, it was not possible for the mouse to revolve faster than the peacock. Then very cleverly, instead of circling the earth, he stood at his place and did 7 rounds of Mother Parvati and Lord Shiva.
When Mahadev asked Ganesh ji why he did this, Ganesh ji said that the whole world lies at the feet of the parents.
That’s why I circled you. Hearing this answer, Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati were very happy and they chose Lord Ganesha to solve the problems of the gods.
Along with this, Lord Shiva also blessed Lord Ganesha that whoever worships Ganesha and offers water to the moon on the day of Chaturthi, all his sorrows will go away. Along with this, sin will be destroyed and happiness and prosperity will be achieved.
