Significance of Soma Pradosha Vrat
Soma Pradosha is regarded as one of the most sacred and rewarding fasts. According to Hindu scriptures, observing this vrat helps remove negative karma, resolve planetary doshas (especially related to the Moon), and bring peace and stability in life. It is said that Lord Shiva, along with Goddess Parvati, blesses devotees who perform this vrat with a happy married life and mental tranquility.
The vrat is also known to bring prosperity, health, and the strength to overcome emotional distress. In Vedic astrology, this fast is highly effective in mitigating malefic effects of Chandra Dosha or a weak Moon in one’s horoscope.
