Ahoi Ashtami is a Hindu holiday that is mostly celebrated by moms who want the best for their kids. It is celebrated on the eighth day of the Krishna Paksha, which is the dark half of the moon’s cycle, in the Hindu month of Kartik. In the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, and some southern states that use the Amanta calendar, it is celebrated during the Hindu month of Ashwin. It’s like the middle of October to the end of November on the English calendar. Ahoi Ashtami is a Hindu holiday that is held eight days before Diwali and four days after Karwa Chauth.

Why Ahoi Ashtami Is Important?

On Ahoi Ashtami, mothers of boys fast so that their sons will live long and happy lives. On this day, they worship Goddess Ahoi with all their heart. On this day, the mothers of sons fast for them. In the Hindu panchangam, you can find the Ahoi Ashtami Puja timings, which tell you when to look at the stars and when the moon comes up.

People believe that if a woman has a miscarriage or can’t get pregnant, she should do the Ahoi Ashtami puja and vratam to be blessed with a boy. Because of this, it is also called “Krishnashtami.” So, this day is important for couples who don’t have children. On this day, couples go to the “Radha Kunda” in Mathura to take a holy dip. During this time, people from all over the country come to worship there.

Ahoi Ashtami Vrat Katha:

In the story of Ahoi Ashtami, a loan shark lived in a city a long time ago. He had seven sons. When there were only seven days left until Diwali, the family cleaned the house. The moneylender’s wife went to an open pit mine near the river to get the mud to fix up their house. The moneylender’s wife started digging for mud in the mine, but she didn’t know that a hedgehog had made a home there. She was doing this when her hoe hit a hedgehog cub and killed it right away.

When the money lender’s wife saw this, she felt very sad. She went back home with a broken heart. A few days later, the woman’s oldest son died because of the curse from the hedgehog’s mother. Then her second son died, then her third, and so on. In one year, all seven of their sons died.

Since all of her children had died, the woman became very sad. One day, she told her sad story to one of her elderly neighbors while she was crying. She admitted that she did not do the sin on purpose, that the cub was killed by accident, and that all seven of her sons died after that. When the old lady heard this, she tried to comfort her by telling her that since she was sorry, half of her sin had been paid for.

The woman also said that she could get help from Goddess Bhagwati on the day of Mata Ahoi Ashtami by drawing a picture of a hedgehog and its cubs, worshipping them, and apologizing for what she had done. The woman also said that if she did this, God’s grace would wash away all of her sins.

The wife of the moneylender did what the old woman told her to do and worshipped Mother Ahoi. She began fasting every year on the eighth day of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Kartik. Over time, she had seven sons. Since then, the Ahoi Ashtami vrat has been done every year.
