Hindu Beliefs in Fasting
Monday
It is observed for Lord Shiva. On this day unmarried
girls observe fast to find an ideal husband and married women fast to
pray for a prosperous married life. Lord Shiva is considered to be very
calm and also as somebody who can be pleased easily. Fasting on Mondays
begins at sunrise and ends at sunset. On this day, food is only eaten
after evening prayer. Lord Shiva and his consort Goddess Parvati are
worshipped, but of course no worship begins without remembering their
elephant-headed son Lord Ganesha. The fasting on Mondays in the month of
Shravan is considered even more auspicious.
