In a certain town, a Brahmin lived with his wife. Both husband and wife were extremely distressed due to having no children. At one time, the Brahmin went to the forest to perform the worship of Lord Hanumana. Every day, with full devotion, he would serve and worship Hanumana Ji and continuously pray to Him for the blessing of a son.
Meanwhile, at home, the Brahmin's wife also observed the Mangalavara Vrat every week with proper rituals. On the day of the Vrat, she would worship Hanuman Ji and offer Bhoga, and only thereafter would she take her meal. Once, due to some reason, the Brahmin's wife could not prepare food on a Mangalavara, i.e., Tuesday, because of which the Bhoga for Hanumana Ji could not be offered. She became extremely saddened and resolved - "Now I will partake of food only after offering Bhoga to Hanuman Ji on the next Tuesday." According to her resolve, she remained without food and water for six days. Due to remaining without food for so many days, her body became weak, and on the seventh day, Tuesday, she fainted due to weakness.
At that very moment, Hanumana Ji, pleased with her devotion and dedication, appeared before her. Manifesting in the form of a child, Hanumana Ji said - "I am extremely pleased with your devotion, faith, and dedication. I grant you a son who will serve you greatly." After granting this boon, Hanumana Ji disappeared. Receiving that beautiful child as a boon from Hanumana Ji, the Brahmin's wife became very happy. She named the child Mangala.
After some time, the Brahmin returned from the forest. Seeing a beautiful child playing in the courtyard of his house, he was greatly astonished. He asked his wife - "Who is this child?" The wife replied - "I had faithfully observed the Tuesday Vrat. Pleased with that Vrat, Hanuman Ji granted me this child. His name is Mangala."
Due to the natural suspicious tendency of human beings, the Brahmin did not believe his wife's words. Considering her statement to be false, he thought to himself - "This immoral woman is speaking falsely to conceal her fault." At that time, he said nothing, but the fire of doubt and resentment was burning within his heart.
One day, the Brahmin was going to fetch water from the well. His wife requested him to take the child Mangala along. He took Mangala with him and deceitfully pushed him into the deep well filled with water. When the Brahmin returned with water and the child was not with him, his wife asked - "Where is Mangala?" Before the Brahmin could answer, Mangala appeared there happily and cheerfully. Seeing him safe, the Brahmin was astonished but remained silent.
At night, Hanumana Ji appeared in the Brahmin's dream. Hanuman Ji said - "Pleased with your wife's faithful observance of the Mangalavara Vrat, I have granted her this child as a boon. Don't insult your wife, otherwise you will have to suffer the consequences." Saying this, Hanumana Ji disappeared from his dream.
Hearing the words of Shri Hanumana Ji, the Brahmin's heart became calm, and he felt deep remorse for his actions. Realizing the truth, he became inwardly very happy. Thereafter, both husband and wife began to observe the Mangalavara Vrat regularly, and by its effect, all their sufferings were removed, and they began to live a happy life.
In the same way, whoever recites or listens to this Mangalavara Vrat Katha and observes the Vrat properly, by the grace of Hanumana Ji, all their problems are resolved, and they attain all kinds of happiness.
