Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Namaste friends, Today is Akshaya Triteeya - the 3rd tithi (lunar day) in the sukla paksha (waxing fortnight) of the lunar month of Vaisakha. This is supposed to be the day when Ganga came to earth. This is the day when Parasurama was born. This is the day when Treta yuga started. Today is supposed to be a very auspicious day. Any prayer or meditation or homam or spiritual practice performed today is supposed to be many times more powerful than on any normal day. Akshaya literally means " imperishable " , i.e. in large supply. The fruits of spiritual karmas of today will be very large and that is why the name " akshaya " . In fact, the next 12 days are very auspicious for spiritual practices. It is believed that some divine energy hovers above earth during this time and prayers can yield results faster. The 5th tithi (panchami), which starts tomorrow afternoon and goes into Thursday, is known as Rishi Panchami and is a good day. I am sharing the information so anybody interested may take advantage of Akshaya Triteeya Best regards, Narasimha Do Ganapathi Homam Yourself: http://www.VedicAstrologer.org/homam Spirituality: Free Jyotish lessons (MP3): http://vedicastro.home.comcast.net Free Jyotish software (Windows): http://www.VedicAstrologer.org Sri Jagannath Centre (SJC) website: http://www.SriJagannath.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
