Satyavrata is a term derived from Sanskrit, meaning "vow of truth." It is often associated with the commitment to uphold truthfulness and integrity in one's life. In various spiritual and philosophical traditions, taking a Satyavrata signifies a dedication to living in accordance with truth, which is considered a fundamental virtue.
In Hinduism, Satyavrata can also refer to specific vows or rituals undertaken by devotees to seek blessings or spiritual growth. These vows may involve fasting, meditation, or other forms of discipline, aimed at purifying the mind and body while fostering a deeper connection with the divine, such as Lord Vishnu or Lord Shiva.
