Thursday vartha is done to appease planet Jupiter The most powerful auspicious planet who has the ability to nullify malefic periods in human life during the running dasa (ruling your present period.) Lord Vishnu the preserver of the present moment is the God.
You may do it for as long as you wish or until the present problem ( un full filed desire) in your life if any are resolved.
Vrata's can be done by performing fire sacrifice , giving up the most liked activity , staying salient the whole day,fasting performing a certian number of japa, visiting any Vishnu temple Giving donation of yellow colored things to the temple , a deserving Brahmin, Or donating food to the poor.
Get up early in the morning before sun rise, take you bath and holding a hand full of water face north and recite the desire you want, then think of the vrata you want to perform, Now let the water flow from your hand to the floor. you may start your vrata. during the entire day think only of the desire as if you are meditating on it ( kindly note Don't think what you will do after you achieve the desire.)
Having performed the vrata visit the Vishnu temple and donate yellow cloth yellow fruits, some beetal leafs and arrack nut, and some money to a needy and worthy brahmin. tell him you performed the Thursday vrata ( don't tell him for what reason or desire.) touch his feet and take his blessings.
