Guest guest Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 > anyone have information on Aksaya tritiya/ and chandana yatra? I only have part of the text by one hindu astrologer.Maybe can help you... ys Dadhibhak¢a d€s ---------------------------- Important tithis in Vaisakha The auspicious tithis for the month of Vaisakha are Chaitra Sankranti (if amavasya), shukla tritiya and shukla ekadashi. Chaitra Sankranti Amavasya is especially favourable towards pitri shraddha. Shukla tritiya is better known as Akshay Tritiya, as vratas and worship done on this day never get depleted in any way. Akshay literally means, that which does not erode. Vishnu himself had told King Kirtiman of Kashi (Varanasi), that Akshay Tritiya is the ultimate tithi of the three worlds. No other tithi could compare to it. The worshipper could easily escape the cycle of Kalachakra and attain liberation. “The way, merely by remembering my lotus feet, sins are destroyed, similarly, Vaisakha destroys millions and millions of accumulated paapa.” Benefits of worship of the pitris, daana and achievement of moksha are easily attainable on this day. The next in hierarchy for the month of Vaisakha are a triad of tithis known as the Pushkarini tithis. These are shukla dwadashi, shukla trayodashi and shukla chaturdashi. Together with pournamasya, they vibrate with an auspiciousness, which is unsurpassable. Shukla dwadashi is so glorious that it is compared to the brilliance of a billion suns and moons blazing together. On Pushkarini tithis and pournamasya, the great Lord himself, in his address to King Kirtiman, advises worshipping Madhusudana with tulasi and flowers and listening to the Gita and the Vishnu Sahasranama. This will grant long life, remove disease and eradicate the fear of death. Vaisakha is the month for listening to and thinking about the greatness of Vishnu. Even those who are irreligious and have sinful ways can achieve salvation by praying during this month. Ultimately Vaisakha gives the worshipper the “nearness” or company of Vishnu. Mahadeva had spent a hundred years in trying to describe the greatness of Vaisakha to Parvati, but even such a time period proved to be insufficient for expounding the supremacy of this noble month.
