About observing Varalakshmi Vrata by married women.......
Our country has given birth to many noble women like Savitri, who brought her dead husband back to life; Chandramati, who extinguished wild fire with the power of truth; Sita, who proved her chastity by coming out of blazing fire unscathed and Damayanti, who reduced an evil-minded hunter to ashes with the power of her chastity. It is because of such women of character that our country has attained the reputation of being the land of plenty, prosperity and opulence.
You all know the story of Anasuya (wife of sage Atri). She was put to test by God Himself. The Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara went to her in disguise and begged, Bhavati Bhiksham Dehi (mother, give us alms). When she was about to serve them food, they said that they would accept it only if she served them without wearing any clothes. Immediately, she transformed them into three infants and fed them as per their wish. She could transform even Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara into small babies and play with them only because of her purity of heart and the power of chastity. Ultimately, Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati, the wives of the Trinity, begged her that their husbands may be returned to them. Anasuya, being one of compassion, yielded to their request. The Trinity blessed sage Atri and Anasuya, saying that they would be born to them in the form of Dattatreya.
Sumati was also a woman of chastity. She was pure-hearted and totally selfless. One day, a sage cursed her husband that he would die immediately after sunrise on the next day. She prayed to God with all sincerity and purity. It is only prayer that can atone man’s sins and save him from curse. Sumati prayed, “if my thoughts are pure and truthful, let there not be sunrise at all.” As a result, there was no sunrise and the entire world was engulfed in darkness. That is the power of women of chastity. All the Gods and sages approached Sumati and prayed, “Mother, is it proper on your part to plunge the entire world into darkness for the sake of your husband?” Sumati replied, “Without my husband, the world has no value for me.” Only when the Gods and sages assured her of the safety of her husband, did she allow the sun to rise. Thus, since ancient times, women in our country led an ideal life and proved to the world the power of chastity. Not only in the bygone ages, even in this Age of Kali, there are many women who are leading exemplary lives.
Goddess Parvati once asked Lord Maheshwara if there was any way to ensure auspiciousness, prosperity and well being of the women. She desired that every woman should lead a long, happy and healthy life with her husband, children, grandchildren, friends and relatives. Maheshwara was pleased with Parvati’s prayer and told her about the Varalakshmi Vrata, which would confer all a woman may ask for. This particular Vrata is a boon for all women.
Goddess Varalakshmi protects seven past generations and seven future generations. Noble women like Savitri and Anasuya enjoyed peace and prosperity by performing this sacred Vrata.
Among the Vratas, the Varalakshmi Vrata has supreme significance.

Goddess Varalakshmi protects seven past generations and seven future generations. Noble women like Savitri and Anasuya enjoyed peace and prosperity by performing this sacred Vrata.
Among the Vratas, the Varalakshmi Vrata has supreme significance.
It is believed that worshipping the Goddess Varalakshmi on this day is equivalent to worshipping Ashtalakshmi – the eight goddesses of Wealth, Earth, Wisdom, Love, Fame, Peace, Contentment, and Strength.
Even in this Age of Kali, it is the prayer of wives that protects their husbands in times of danger. Many women in the past performed Varalakshmi Vrata with devotion and sincerity and became the recipients of the grace of Goddess Lakshmi.
The purpose of Varalakshmi Vrata is to atone your sins, develop sacredness and ultimately lead you to Divinity. Our culture considers the word Mata (mother) as most sacred. In times of suffering, one naturally calls out 'Amma' or 'Ma' (mother). The word 'Amma' is most soothing and gentle. It bestows immense strength. The first word that a child utters is 'Amma' or 'Ma'. That is why our culture has accorded highest place to the mother ahead of father, teacher and God. None loves you as much as your mother does.
Mother’s love defies all description. Varalakshmi is extolled as Lokamata (Divine Mother). She is the mother of the world. All are her children. That is why the Vedas address human beings as Amrutasya Putra (sons of immortality).
Varalakshmi Vrata is performed by women and men should provide all the necessary support to women for performing this sacred Vrata. It is beneficial not only to women, but also to men as women pray for the well-being and long life of their husbands. Women are more powerful than men.

The scriptures declare that men have only three powers, whereas women have five. Women are ready to sacrifice even their life for the sake of their husbands. They are the repositories of the five virtues of..... Respect...... Dignity......Sacrifice..... Contentment..... and..... Prosperity. Women are the embodiment of virtue and nobility. Names of the Divine couples like Lakshmi Narayana, Radha Krishna and Parvati Parameshwara indicate that women are given place of priority over men. That is why even in invitation cards, people write Srimati and Sri (Mrs. and Mr.) and not the other way round. Prakriti symbolises feminine aspect of God. Prakriti and Purusha are inseparable. As the women are the embodiment of Lakshmi (goddess of wealth), the world will attain prosperity only when they are respected. Therefore, men must treat women with respect, so that they will be respected in turn.
So, respect women and make them.....And......Keep them happy.......& All married women in turn observe the VARALAKSHMI VRAT EVERY YEAR FROM NOW ON.......JK
