Srirangam Srimad Andavan Srimushnam Andavan.

 

Many are not knowing that akshrarambam /Vedarambam is most important

on that day. It is more important than buying jewels or any other

articles. I know many who borrowed money even on 60% interest to

purchase a few grams of gold.thanks to the propaganda by jewellery

industry which is being done in their own interest.

 

I request you to kindly eloborately deal this subject as you can better put it.

 

Dasan,

Dear Members,

 

Came across an article on Akshaya Trithiyai. Here goes it:

 

As there are days for rejoicing and celebration, there is a day for 'giving'

too. Akshaya Thrithiyai, celebrated today, is a day when one finds happiness in

giving. On this day, which falls on the third day after the new moon in the

month of Chithirai (Suklapaksha Thrithiyai in April-May), it is believed that

all our good deeds will be rewarded multi-fold.

 

There is a tale in the Mahabharata to highlight the importance of Akshaya

Thrithiyai. Narrating the story, Sri.Venkatakrishna Bhattachariar of Sri.

Parthasarathy Devasthanam said, " When the Pancha Pandavas along with their

spouse Draupati were in exile, a bowl (Akshaya Pathram) had been given to

Draupati by Lord Krishna, with the help of which she was able to serve food to

the Pandavas. It was just sufficient to satisfy their hunger.

" One day, Sage Durvasa, who was known for his short temper, wanted to test the

Pandavas. He along with all his followers reached the forest where the Pandavas

were living and asked Draupati to keep food ready for them when they would

return after a bath in a nearby river. By then she and the Pandavas had already

finished their lunch, and the 'bowl' was almost empty, with just a grain of rice

left in it.

 

" Fearing the wrath of the Sage, Draupati prayed fervently to Lord Krishna, her

saviour. Her prayers were answered. Lord Krishna ate the one grain of rice that

was still there, and lo! Durvasa and the other guests returned from the river

just to tell the Pandavas that already they felt as if they had had a good lunch

and their stomachs were full. " No wonder, Draupati heaved a sigh of relief! The

belief is that, it is good if we buy something like gold, silver or new clothes.

Jewellers use this opportunity to induce customers to buy ornaments by

announcing good offers. But there are persons -- like Sri.N.K Muthukrishnan who

lives in Besant Nagar, Chennai -- who find this an occasion to do Annadanam to

the poor, at Avvai Home and the Andhra Mahila Sabha.

 

The weeklong celebrations at his Bala Vihar include, conducting Shanmatha Homams

(Sudharshana, Mahalakshmi and Dhanvantri Homams), organising group singing of

devotional songs, and Cutcheris. And there will be mass recitation of Vishnu

Sahasranamam and Rama Sahasranamam and Akhanda Rama Nama Japa Yagnam on May 6

and 7. He has been conducting this since 1955.

 

Ever since his miraculous escape from the cruel hands of some criminals by the

grace of Lord Rama, he started celebrating this day. What had begun in a small

way by offering food to six persons had grown into a big event every year with

about 200 people taking part in the celebrations. " It is really to catch the

children and educate them about our cultural heritage through our mythological

stories, which in many cases are realities. Whatever service you do on this day,

you will get multi-fold returns, " says Muthukrishnan who is also known as Hare

Ram Kaka. As Sri.Muthukrishnan puts it philosophically, " Krishnavatara teaches

us how to live without being affected by outside inhibitions. This is the

essence and doctrine of the Bhagavat Gita. The underlying reality that is lying

latent in the heart of the individual is one with the undying reality that is

permeating the entire Universe. "
