Wednesday
The story of the fast of Wednesday in the Puranic texts is as follows. It was a long time ago that a moneylender had a new marriage. His wife had gone out. It was a new marriage, a new life. The moneylender's family was also not very big, those who were relatives were far away from their homes. Now the moneylender was being eaten by loneliness. He did not stay with her and the moneylender went to his in-laws. The moneylender was very welcome, but in the in-laws' house, it was difficult to talk openly with his wife.
The very next day the moneylender said, 'Prepare for farewell, we have to leave. 'Now coincidentally that day was Wednesday, the parents-in-law tried to explain that the son is on Wednesday, it is customary not to bid farewell to the daughter on this day. Farewell to Bitai Is it not considered auspicious to go on a journey for any auspicious work on Wednesday. But the moneylender did not agree and said, 'I do not accept all these things. Now the mind had to prepare carefully where the in-laws were going to walk in front of their son-in-law. The daughter was discharged.
Now on the way the wife of the moneylender feels thirsty. Like a moneylender who goes to fetch water, there is no room for surprise when he comes back. He sees his own lookalike sitting next to his wife in the car. His wife also got into trouble after seeing two persons of the same form, who was her husband. As soon as the moneylender asked the man sitting next to his wife who he was, he turned around and replied, Bhaiya, I am a moneylender from Phalan Nagar and I am bringing my wife from Phalan Nagar You tell me who are you to come here dressed as me and threaten me to become a bone in the kebab. This led to the controversy between the two.
Seeing the quarrel, the soldiers of the state reached there and caught the moneylender. Now the soldiers are also confused that both of them have the same appearance. He asked the moneylender's wife which of them was her husband. Then the moneylender folded his hands and began to pray to God, 'O God, what is this love of yours? It was then that the fool remembered that you had insulted Lord Buddha by disobeying your in-laws some time ago and on Wednesday you took your wife with you when you should not have gone on this day. It is Buddha himself who is in your guise to teach you a lesson.
Then the moneylender apologized by holding his ears and promised never to do so again and resolved to observe the fast regularly on Wednesday. Then Budh Devta, who appeared as a moneylender, became intradhyan and the moneylender could go home with his wife. After this incident, both the moneylender and his wife started observing Wednesday fast regularly.
It is believed that whoever tells this story or listens to it or reads it, he does not feel any kind of guilt by traveling on Wednesday and gets all the happiness. Men and women desirous of the peace and happiness of the planet Mercury can observe this fast on Wednesday. The fast of Wednesday is also considered very auspicious and fruitful for advancement in knowledge, intellect, work, business, etc. Lord Ganesha and Lord Buddha are also worshipped on this day.
