Vata Saavithree Pooja

Today is an auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. Good women pray the Almighty for long lives of their husbands and perform Vata Saavithree Pooja on this day. Sometimes, in spite of this pooja, husbands pass away earlier than wives for example King Paandu, demon king Ravan, King Dasarathaa (father of Lord Shree Raam) etc. From whatever little I know from our Sanathana Dharma Scriptures, I gather that any person's present life and the date of departure of his/her soul from the body is predetermined by Lord Brahma, who performs his task on Shree Mahaa Vishnu's order and that the person's life span depends upon his/her karmaas done during his/her past seven lifes. 

Hari Sarvoththamaa🙏

Vaayu jeevoththamaa🙏.
