I should thank you particularly for the link to vrat stories. Unfortunately, the full text of the book "Consecration and ascetical regimen" is not available for download. Only excerpts are available. Anyone interested to learn more on this topic or similar topics may also visit http://www.kamakoti.org/newlayout/template/hindudharma.html and read 'Hindu Dharma' which "is a collection of invaluable and engrossing speeches of Sri Sri Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi MahaSwamiji."
