Akshaya Tritiya 7th May 2019 (Tuesday)
The Most Important Mantra of Akshaya Tritiya: “Remember the Kind
act of Giving is Thousand Times More Powerful than that of Receiving”.
Akshaya means ‘ETERLAL’
- never diminishing and Tritiya means 3rd Lunar Day as per the Hindu Calendar. Hence, Akshaya Tritiya is considered as the
most golden day of the year. Celebrating
that day means that one will be blessed with ‘Eternal Wealth throughout the
year.’
Akshaya Tritiya (Akha Teej) is a very popular festival that the Hindus and Jains celebrate every
year. Akshaya Tritiya is the day when the
great God of Wisdom, God Ganesha, started writing the
epic work called Mahabharata. It is also believed that when the Pandavas were in exile the
Lord presented them a bowl which was named Akshaya Tritiya. That bowl was never
empty and produces an unlimited amount of food on demand.
The most popular story regarding the celebration of Akshaya Tritiya is that Lord Krishna
had blessed his school mate Sudama with wealth without Sudama himself praying to help him by just tasting Poha which the poor
Brahmin Sudama had brought with him
to offer to Krishna. When Krishna had tasted Poha, Sudama’s poverty had
vanished.
The day on which Sudama had become rich due to Krishna’s blessings is also called Akshaya Triya. The Hindu community considers this day as a lucky day and believes that any venture such as a business or the construction of a building started on that day will be prosperous.
