Tomorrow is Akshaya Tritiya for Hindus

Tweet

Friends like its name; "Akshaya" means the never diminishing in Sanskrit. It is a “Symbol of Bringing Prosperity within the Family”. It falls on the third lunar day of Bright Half of Hindu month – ‘Vaishakha’ every year. This is beginning of summer here. This year it is falling on 6th May, 2011 so this day can be considered the most auspicious day to perform all auspicious occasions, like marriage, tonsuring of head hair, ear piercing, nose piercing, home construction, pilgrimage. Akshaya Tritiya as the name suggests, gives permanence and immortality of the desire that we wish to get fulfilled. If it is wealth or if it is love, let it be permanent and not transitory. This day is ruled by the preserver-God in the Hindu Trinity, Lord Vishnu and is celebrated as the birthday of his sixth avatar, sage Parashurama. The day is particularly considered auspicious for buying long term assets like gold and silver, including ornaments , diamond and other precious gem stones. The legend states that any venture initiated on the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya shall continue to grow and bring prosperity. The foundation stone for my third building will be laid tomorrow 9.20am IST, most auspicious time as per my horoscope As per our tradition we send earthen pitches full with cool water, homemade sweets, juicy fruits like water melon, mango, cucumber, jackfruit etc and a fan made from bamboo leaves to homes of our married sisters, daughters. This is kept ready for my only sister who lives 2 blocks away from my home. I will go with our maid servant to give in the early morning tomorrow. My only daughter lives 50 kilometers away, my son will go and give these things to her. [b]Such act makes the family bond tight.
