Unfulfilled Vows: Pundit Explains Consequences and Remedies

• Pundit Nageshshastri Vitthalshastri Nandibuva clarifies the implications of not fulfilling religious vows in Indian culture.
• A vow is a 'resolve' between God and a devotee, focusing mental power on a task, rooted in faith, not transaction.
• Not fulfilling a vow can lead to mental unrest, negativity, lack of focus, and obstacles in future work due to a broken resolve.
• Unfulfilled generational vows to family deities can cause 'Kuladosha' (family defect), affecting family progress.
• If delayed, sincerely apologize to God, donate grains or food of equivalent value, and promise to fulfill the vow when circumstances allow.

Why It Matters: Unfulfilled vows primarily cause mental unrest and obstacles, but sincere apology and alternative offerings can mitigate effects.
