Akhand Dwaadashee Vrat
Maargsheersh Shukla 12th. This Dwaadshee bestows lots of Punya, if kept
fast and worshipped Vishnu on this day. Vratee should take bath with
Panchgavya mixed water and do Paaran with that water only. Donate a pot
filled with barley and pray - "Hey Bhagavan, Whichever Vrat has not
been done properly during my last 7 lives, they all become proper (complete)
and give me unbroken fruit. As you are present in this world in your unbroken
form, in the same way my all Vrat should also be unbroken." Thus beginning
from Maargsheersh and ending in Phaalgun, it should be done every month for
four months. When it is done from Chaitra to Aashaadh, donate a pot full of Sattoo.
Or it can be done from Shraavan to Kaarttik also.
