Yes, absolutely. These stories indicate the opening of a door of possibility for earthly life. In fact, traditionally, after this vrat, the story of Savitri is recited and then at the end it is said, ‘may it be so in everyone’s life as it happened in the life of Savitri’. Somewhere, the memory of these events is preserved in the mind of earth as a precursor for the future.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
