Not fulfilling a "Mannat"/ "Promise"

tell me about it esp if you are abroad visits to india can really be very hectic ... and sometimes you think about visting an xyz place and one cant really make it happen.
I believe that sometimes god has his /her own ways to call us .. sometimes unexpectedly we end up visiting without any planning and for whatever worth you know you too may get a call unexpectedly .. like we too have been wanting to visit a temple for a very long time and it had been nearly two years and we just couldn't make it .. guess what just suddenly I felt that we should visit it now during the EId holidays here and my hubby to strongly felt the same .. and we impromptu planned the trip and came back with a happy darshan.. .

 

hello rakhi.
don't worry, if u remember your promise then it doesn't matter when r u going. and keep always mind that god never have been do any wrong if god will do this then no difference between god & human. some times we face problems and we related to punishment of god. but it is a wrong thinking . if we face problems then it is a type of god test. be positive and believe yourself and god.

 

I strongly believe that when the time is right Goddess mata will herself make it possible to come to her . All is God's will. Pray to her daily and be happy.

 

Hi,

Can you please share the name and location of the temple here. I have made a mannat in west Bengal tarapith myself and still not able to go back there . I feel bad myself too but now I have made my mind that I will make it to there anyhow. I would suggest you to perform a puja from heart to god and apologize for you to be able to make it there yet. I am sure she will forgive you.
I will again request you to please share the information here, I would like to visit there as I have a hearty desire to be fulfilled.

 

Were u able to make that visit happen? Hope all's well with u... I was just searching on Google what happens when you are unable to fulfil a mannat and I saw ur post...
Well d reason I was looking it up on Google coz there's one mannat I said and is becoming lil difficult for me to follow.. so I wonder if there's a way to come out of it
End of 2016 my son met with an accident at my parents house.. I was not around at that time.. and when my sister was taking me to d hospital to see my son I didn't know the extent to which he was hurt and I was very scared.. so in tht spur of the moment I promised that if my son is ok I will give up on alcohol forever( maybe I was feeling guilty that I was supposed to go for a new year's Eve party that night.. for the very first time in my life).. it's not that I'm a regular drinker.. but I do enjoy a drink or two when I'm out with my husband once in a while ... Now ppl reading this may think how difficult can it be for a person to give up on drinking.. but it's not the temptation .. but I miss giving my husband company on our date nights.. he doesn't enjoy drinking alone.. as silly as this may sound.. I'm really looking for an alternative to this... It's been a year since I haven't had liquor now.

 

Why not have a Diet Coke or sparkling cider while the husband enjoys his patiala peg ?

 

Yeah . That's what I do.. sip on my diet Coke ... But he keeps forcing me to have a drink... He's not a big believer of this mannat thing and thinks it's ok to indulge in a drink once in a while.. he's even jokingly told me that he's gonna leave me coz I don't drink )

 

Oye ve! Who thought do boond sharab would be so critical to keep marriage and romance intact ?
My take, the only mannat I know is shahrukh khans bungalow. But for others a traditional mannat is like keeping a word / promise. Once I promise something I make sure to follow through . Specially if it involves a promise I made for the well being of a child, hell yes!
So if I were you I would stick to the Diet Coke. As a future lesson don’t make promises or mannats if you do not have the resolve to keep them.

P.S If husband jokes about leaving you if you don’t drink alcohol: open a can of chilled Diet Coke and do a “abhishekam” over pati dev. Optional :chant Jai Shivas regal !
