Katha (story) in Hindi
Once upon a time,
there lived a woman in a village. She had seven sons. One day she
went to the forest to bring soil for the renovation and painting
of her home (this was in the month of kartik just before the Hindu
festival Deepawali . She started digging soil with axe nearby a
den. Suddenly the woman's axe fell on the cub in the den and the
cub died. The woman felt very sorry and sympathetic. She took soil
from the forest and came back.
Few days later, all her seven sons died within a year. She was
very sad. One day she narrated her woes to old ladies in her
village, she was crying and told them that she didn't commit the
sin and it happened unintentionally. She narrated to the ladies
that once when she was digging for the soil in the forest her axe
fell on the cub and thereafter within a year all my seven sons
died. The ladies appreciated for confessing her guilt and then
these ladies told that by confessing the sin she has atoned her
half of the sin.
They suggested the woman to pray the goddess Ashtami Bhagwati by
sketching the face of the cub. By the grace of god your sin will
cast off. The woman kept fast on the Kartik Krishna Ashtami and
then onwards she started praying and keeping fast regularly. By
the power of her prayer the God's grace showered and she could get
back her all seven son. Since then, it became a ritual to worship
the goddess Ahoi Ashtami Bhagwati religiously every year.
