Significance of Sunday and Sun Worship

Sunday is dedicated to the Sun God. It is believed that if the Sun God is worshiped with devotion on Sunday, then there is no lack of happiness, prosperity and wealth in the life of a human being. Also, there is protection from enemies. Along with fasting for the Sun God, if you listen to his fast story, then your wishes are fulfilled. So let's read the fast story of Sun God.
It is a matter of ancient times. There was an old woman who used to get up before sunrise on Sundays on a regular basis and after retiring from daily activities, she used to plaster her courtyard with cow dung so that it could be clean. After this, she used to worship the Sun God. She also used to listen to the Sunday fast story. On this day, she used to eat food once and before that, she used to offer it to the Sun God. The Sun God was very pleased with that old woman. That was the reason why she did not have any kind of trouble and she was full of wealth and grain.
When her neighbor saw that she was very happy, she became jealous of her. There was no cow in the old woman's house, so she used to bring cow dung from her neighbor's courtyard. Because her cow was tied there. The neighbor thought of something to trouble the old woman and tied the cow inside the house. The next Sunday, the old woman did not get cow dung to plaster the courtyard. Due to this, she did not offer food to the Sun God. She also did not eat food herself and remained hungry and thirsty throughout the day and then went to sleep.
The next day when she woke up, she saw a beautiful cow and a calf tied in her courtyard. The old woman was surprised to see the cow. She fed fodder to the cow. At the same time, her neighbor became even more jealous after seeing the beautiful cow and calf tied in the old woman's courtyard. So she became even more jealous of her. The neighbor saw gold dung lying near her missing cow, so she picked up the dung from there and kept it near her cow's dung.
The neighbor became rich in a few days with the golden dung. This went on for many days. For many days, the old woman did not know anything about the golden dung. In such a situation, the old woman continued to fast for the Sun God as before. She also kept listening to the story. After this, the day the Sun God came to know about the neighbor's trick. Then he caused a strong storm. Seeing the strong storm, the old woman tied her cow inside. The next day when the old woman woke up, she saw the golden dung. Then she was very surprised.
From then on, she kept the cow tied inside the house. In a few days, the old woman became very rich. Seeing the old woman's happy and rich condition, the neighbor became even more jealous. The neighbor convinced her husband and sent him to the king of the city. When the king saw that beautiful cow, he was very happy. Seeing the golden dung, his happiness knew no bounds. He sent it to the king of the city. The king was very happy to see the beautiful cow. In the morning when the king saw the golden dung, his surprise knew no bounds.
On the other hand, the old woman was praying to the Sun God while remaining hungry and thirsty. The Sun God had compassion on her. That same night, the Sun God came in the king's dream and said to him, O king, return the old woman's cow and calf immediately. If you don't do this, a mountain of troubles will fall on you. The Sun God's dream scared the king badly. After this, the king returned the cow and calf to the old woman.
The king gave the old woman a lot of wealth and asked for forgiveness. At the same time, the king also punished the neighbor and her husband. After this, the king announced throughout the kingdom that everyone should fast on Sunday. By fasting for the Sun God, a person becomes full of wealth and grain. Also, happiness comes in the house.
