Sushila was the daughter of a Brahmin named Sumant. After her mother’s death Sumant married again; the stepmother ill treated Sushila To free herself, Sushila married the sage Kauṇdinya who was learned but poor and left with him to his hermitage. On their journey, they once stopped by a river; Sushila saw a group of women performing a special worship for Lord Ananta (Viṣhṇu) and asked about it.
The women explained the Anant vrata as well as tying the Anant Sutra and its benefits. Sushila listened, performed the Vrata with devotion, and tied the Anant Sutra on her arm. Soon the couple’s fortune changed, prosperity and peace returned to their household as a result of Sushila’s faithful observance.
Kauṇdinya later became proud and skeptical, he was convinced that their wellbeing was due to his efforts rather than the Vrat. In anger or disbelief he removed the sacred thread from Sushila he throws it into fire. Their prosperity disappeared in few months and misfortune struck. This falling away is a turn in the tale showing the power of the vow and the consequences of disrespecting sacred observances.
HOW TO PERFORM THIS VRAT?
▪️One should continue observing Anant Vrat for continuously 14years.
▪️On Vrat day, one needs to take thread as long as one wingspan.
▪️Then make it 14 folds with thread.
on that make 14knots, this is called Anant Sutra.
▪️Men should wear that knotted thread on left arm and women on right arm.
▪️These 14 knots are the signification of 14 Lokas or Bhuvans which the Swarup of Anant Shesh Nag. Entire universe (14 lokas) is balanced on the hood of Anant Nag.s
▪️Offering flowers, Chandan and Bhog is essential to Bhagwan Anant on this tithi.
This Vrat is for Bhagwan Anant, Shesh Naag, whom we found as Balram in Dwapar Yug with Shri Krishna. Sri Krishna gave this advice of observing Anant Vrat to Yudhishthir Maharaj and he did it for 14year.
यद्यदाचरति श्रेष्ठस्तत्तदेवेतरो जनः।
स यत्प्रमाणं कुरुते लोकस्तदनुवर्तते॥
Yudhishtir Maharaj or other great souls didn’t have to follow all these. They followed many rituals to set the great example or importance of these rituals. You too keep observing these rituals so that your next generation, your near dear one can carry forward such important tithis and their inner meanings.
