Vat Purnima Vrat 2021: Significance
In Hindu Purana like
Bhavishyothra Purana, Skanda Purana and Mahabharat, the significance of Vat
Savitri Vrat has been glorified. When Lord Yama, the Lord of death, came to
take Satyawan, the husband of Savitri, she compelled Yama to return his life.
Yama was pleased with the devotion of Savitri and returned without taking
Satyawan with him. Women worship Vat, the Banyan tree, as they treat it as a
symbol of Trimurti- Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. This day honours the
dedication of Savitri who saved her husband from the clutches of Yamaraj.
