Akshya Tritiya

[Guest guest]

Just tomarrow is 8th may, an auspisious day going to fall, it is

aclled Akshaya Tritiya . There is an important message for this day,

it reads as below;

 

 

 

Akshaya Tritiya...also known as akhateej occurs

on the third day of the bright fort nightin the month of Baisakh

[mid april to mid may]. The word Akshya literlly means that which is

constant, stable and is never destroyed. In our lives nothing is

constant, everything is continueally changingand we feel the burden

of this from time to timewhen we have to adjust accordingly. In fact

the only example we have of something which is never destroyed is

Satya or Truth, which is but another name of Omnipresent God.

 

 

Ofcourse we have never seen God, but the

heritage we have recievedfrom our ancestorstells us that there

arespecial muhurts or momentswhen one can experience this constant

truthand also benifit from that experience. One of these auspisious

muhurts is Akshyatritiya.

 

in fact akshya tithi is also known as Ishwara

tithi. Tithi means day and by calling it Ishwara tithi, it signifies

that any thing that come into existance on this day will never die.

Prashuram,one of the immortals was born on this day.. As also known

as one of the chiranjeevi tithi.

 

On account of indestructible force of this day all

the words you speak, thoughts you think and and acts you perform

onthis day become part of your hard disk and remain with you life

after life. it is therefore understandable thaton this day one must

make a sincereeffort to perform good deeds, through Japa, tapa,

Tyaag, daan and remembarace of the Lord so that your bank balence

increases.

 

Rise early on Akshya Triteeya and perform havan

repeating the 1000 names of vishnoo. after that if time permits do

japa of gurumantra or akhanda naam samkeertan of Rama. Chanting of

entire Bhagwat Geeta is specially significant on Akshya Tritiya day.

And if you are fortunate to find someonein need do help out as that

will earn you the blessings of Lord. This is the way one should

celebrate A.T not by buying gold as there is misconception.
