Under someone’s pressure:- No one has that much attachment or faith in fasting, but still one has to observe the fast on the insistence of elder members of the family or mother-in-law. In this way, a fast observed under someone’s force does not yield any results. This fast should not be observed in the absence of faith and emotion.
If there is Sohar or Sutak in the house:- If someone is born or someone has died in the house, then worship is prohibited in such circumstances. You can keep fast, if you can, but do not do puja.
Women living separately from husband:- Many times husband and wife separate due to mutual differences. A woman separated from her husband should not observe a fast because there is no point in observing a fast due to lack of trust and love in her husband. Due to anger and distress one cannot have good feelings towards her husband. This fast should be observed only after resolving mutual differences.
Women living together without marriage:- Women who live together in live-in relationship or court marriage without taking seven rounds should also not observe the fast of Karva Chauth, because living without taking seven rounds is not considered auspicious according to Hindu tradition. Only his better half i.e. wife can participate with the husband in auspicious and auspicious activities. No auspicious work can be done without marriage.
Attachment to a man other than husband:- Many times the marriage takes place somewhere else but the attachment is with someone else. A woman who is in a relationship with another man should also not observe the fast of Karva Chauth. It is believed that if he does so, he may have to face the wrath of Mata Karva. The fast of Karva Chauth shows the feeling of devotion towards the husband. Seeing the moon means that the image of your husband is present in your mind, but it is better not to observe this fast if you have a place for someone else in your mind. You can observe this fast by first renouncing someone else’s man from your mind.
Pregnant women:- According to tradition, it is not that they cannot keep fast, they have been told so from the health point of view because being hungry in such a situation is not good for them, they should only worship the Mother Goddess. (Karwa Chauth 2024)
Lactating women:- In this situation, you have to take care of yourself as well as the baby. If you do not eat food, you may face problems due to weakness in the body.
Women suffering from serious illness:- Women who are suffering from diabetes, ulcer, kidney disease, cancer, anemia or have undergone any kind of surgery, should not keep the fast of Karva Chauth because keeping the fast can have adverse effects on their health. .
Virgin girls:- Unmarried girls should not observe this fast because they are not married yet and this fast is observed for the long life of their husband. Along with this, there is a tradition of breaking the fast by looking at the moon and the face of the husband. It is the husband who gets the fast observed.
menstruation:- During menstruation, fasting can be observed but worship cannot be done. In such a situation, you can ask someone else to perform the puja on your behalf but you should take care not to touch the puja material.
Feeling of disbelief in fasting:- One should not do anything if there is disbelief in it. Many times, many people do the work after seeing someone and later they just keep doing it reluctantly. If you also observe the fast without mind, then such fast has no importance. Keep the fast with a good and clean mind.
If you fast keeping all the above mentioned things in mind, you will get the blessings of Karva Mata and Maa Parvati.
