The fasting aspect of Vrat makes the
mind strong and increases its firmness. Vrats are an important part of
modern Hindu life. Mostly it includes a change in diet--sometimes through
fasting, and other times by eating or avoiding certain types of food.
Most important part is worshipping the presiding deity . Part of this
worship usually involves reading or hearing the Vrat Katha or stories of
fast. Every fast is usually associated with one or more Vrat Kathas that
Hindus listen to while performing prayers and then only brake their
fast. These fast stories or vrat kathas are a form of pooja to the the
presiding deity.
