There are two significant occasions each year when wealth is believed to grow, guided beautifully by karmic intention: Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya.

Importance of Akshaya Tritiya

Akshaya Tritiya occurs on the third lunar day (tithi) of the bright fortnight (shukla paksh) of the Vaishakh month every year. The importance of this day can be understood through several key events and beliefs:

• The Start of Treta Yuga: This auspicious day marks the beginning of the Treta Yuga.
• Birth of Lord Parashurama: Lord Parashurama, the sixth incarnation (avatar) of Lord Vishnu, was born on this day.
• Lord Krishna and the Akshay Patra: On this day, Lord Krishna helped the Pandavas by providing them with the Akshay Patra, a vessel that perpetually supplied food. This divine intervention saved Draupadi and the Pandavas from the wrath of Sage Durvasa when they had no food to offer.
• Descent of the River Ganga: The mighty river Ganga descended from heaven to earth on this day, at the request of King Bhagiratha, helping his ancestors attain Moksha (liberation).
• Emergence of Gold from Samudra Manthan: During the churning of the ocean, a pot of gold emerged, which Lord Vishnu adorned on this day.
• Gold and Goddess Lakshmi: Gold is considered a representation of Goddess Lakshmi, the revered consort of Lord Vishnu.
• The Meeting of Krishna and Sudama: The sacred meeting of Lord Krishna and his devoted friend Sudama, an embodiment of eternal friendship and love, also occurred on this day.

Thus, this day is considered exceptionally auspicious — so much so that no specific muhurat (auspicious time) is needed for any important undertaking.

The Entire Day is Auspicious For:

• Starting New Projects: Ventures begun today are believed to grow exponentially and last forever.
• Purchasing Valuables: Buying gold, silver, diamonds, brass, gemstones like Pukhraj (yellow sapphire) or Citrine, or even a simple clay pot, is considered highly beneficial.
• Getting Married: Marriages solemnized today are said to be eternally blessed. No specific muhurat is required.
• Buying a Tijori (Money Box): Investing in a new safe for wealth accumulation is encouraged.
• Acquiring Spiritual Texts: Bringing home sacred scriptures like the Ramayana or Vishnu Sahasranama strengthens the spiritual foundation of your home.
• Praying to Deities: Offering prayers to Lord Ganesha, Lord Vishnu, Goddess Lakshmi, and Lord Kartikeya brings divine blessings.
• Listening to Sacred Hymns: Reciting or listening to the Vishnu Sahasranama and Shri Lakshmi Suktam is highly auspicious.
• Caring for Nature: Watering plants, feeding birds, and donating water to the needy are wonderful deeds today.
• Making Donations: Donating items like gold, silver, brass, or gemstones multiplies karmic blessings.
• Maintaining Positive Thoughts: Focus your mind on positivity through prayers and selfless actions.

Rice holds special importance in rituals today. Using good quality, unbroken rice symbolizes uninterrupted prosperity and is associated with blessings in business and trade.

Astrological Insights

Today, the cosmos blesses us with powerful planetary alignments:
