Budhvar Vrata is observed on Wednesdays for 21 consecutive Wednesdays by wearing green clothes and fasting during day time. In olden days travelling on Wednesdays was considered inauspicious. One day after marriage, a young man went to bring his wife to his home from his in-laws place. Despite of cautioning, he travels on a Wednesday. On the way, he sees another replica of him who confuses his wife. Later the second person takes the form of Lord Budha. From then onwards the couple observe Budhvar Vrata, and travelled safe on Wednesdays too.

Chanting of the holy verses or slokas of Chandrasekhara Ashtakam refers to the powerful transformation in a person, over all kinds of fear, especially the fear of Death.

Ganesh is the God of wisdom who removes obstacles from one’s path. He is worshipped for siddhi, success in undertakings, and buddhi, intelligence. He is worshipped before any venture is started. He is also the God of education, knowledge and wisdom, literature, and the fine arts. Lord Ganesha has all the five elements under His control. He is the embodiment of all potencies. He has no superior above Him. He is the Pranava Swarupa (embodiment of Aum). Hence, the first prayer is always addressed to Him.

According to the Hindu religion, every month’s Ekadashi date is worshiped Lord Vishnu.  It occurs on the 11th day of every fortnight in the Hindu Lunar Calendar, Ekadashi is celebrated on this day. For Vaishnava society and Hindu religion Ekadashi vrat is considered important and virtuous. According to Naradpuran, the vow of Ekadashi is very dear to Lord Vishnu. The way Chaturthi is worshiped Lord Ganesha, Triodshi, Lord Shiva, Panchami, Lakshmi ji, in the same way, on the Ekadashi date, Lord Hari Vishnu ji is worshiped. After fasting all day, worshiping Lord Vishnu on the night should be worshiped with reverence. After this, on the day of Dvashashi, after bathing, after consuming Lord Vishnu, the Pandit should take food after eating food.   On this day, only one meal is consumed by the devotees in the whole day in which salt is avoided. Main reason of this vrat is to get indulged in the service of God and chant prayers. Eating grains is prohibited on Ekadashi day.
