Payovrata

Payovrata is one of the Vratas carried out for the wellbeing of our Children.  This Vrata is to have good children who live in Dharmik life with great love and devotion to the Supreme Lord by respecting, valuing and following all Customs, Traditions and Religious rituals.

It is also done for Santana Prapthi.  At least one of the Couple, if not both, can do this Vrata.  Aditi Devi performed this Vrata with full dedication and Lord Vamana was born as her Son.   In addition to this all her other children also became prosperous in life.  So, people also perform this Vrata for prosperity as well.

Vedavati, the mother of our Parama Guru Sri Madhwacharya, performed this Vrata and had Acharya Madhwa as her Son (Vayu Avatar).  There are quite a few who have performed this Vrata in our community.

This Vrata starts on the first day of Phaguna Maas and ends on Sukla Paksha Dwadashi.  One should partake only Milk during these 12 days, except Ekadasi as it a fasting day.  Regular food can be had only on Triyodashi after performing Homa, Samaradhana and serving Food to Brahman & Suvasini.

Abhisheka and Pooja should be performed everyday with payasa as Naivedya

There are few Dos and Don’ts to be practiced during this Vrata.  Kindly contact your Family Achar to get all the details before undertaking this Vrata.  Guru Ashirwada is very important.  So, kindly seek the blessings of your Gurugalu and inform him about your wish to perform this Vrata.  His Blessings will make things easier and comfortable while doing the Vrata.
