Blessed Akshaya Tritiya
for everyone
Akshaya Tritiya is celebrated in vishakha, Shukla paksha, tritya tithi which is a very auspicious day as both the Sun and Moon are exalted. This year Akshaya Trithya is much more auspicious. It is happening on a Tuesday + Rohini Nakshatra making it Shubhan yoga – as the name itself suggests a very ‘shubh’, that is auspicious time. This yoga is occurring after 30 years.
To add to this auspiciousness there is a planetary combination occurring after 50 years. Not only are the Sun and Moon exalted, so is Venus exalted. And, Jupiter and Saturn are in their own houses. How much powerful could this day be?!!! And the planets involved in the solar eclipse have begun moving away from each other.
Akshaya Tritiya is associated with many auspicious occurrings and circumstances:
The holy
river Ganga is believed to have begun flowing on this day.
Maa Annapurna’s avtaran (promising no poverty and scarcity)
Lord Parshuramji’s birthday
In Vrindavan only on this day can one get a glimpse of the feet of Banke Bihariji and it is believed that Lord Krishna on this very day gave the Pandava’s an Akshaya patra – the vessel in which the food did not finish.
Hence the belief that what you begin today – will never finish. Be it daan-puniya – this effect will be everlasting. Or be it asset-building – it will keep multiplying.
Akshaya Tithi is also one of the highly auspicious days when you do not need to ask the Pandit (priest) for an auspicious timing or whether the day is auspicious – the whole day is auspicious.
Akshaya Tritiya is at par with Dhanteras as the day to ask for blessings for
wealth and prosperity.

One should pray to Vishnuji and Lakshmiji.
Things to do for Akshaya Tritiya
- Before Akshaya Tritiya one must remove all the cobwebs in and around your house/ premises, as cobwebs form an obstacle in the flow of money coming in to you.
- Also it is believed that on Akshaya Tritiya day you should not break a tulsi leaf. Preferably break it a day before if you must – but do so after having a bath and ask Tulsi’ji for permission to break a leaf, and don’t forget to apologize and later thank Tulsi’ji for the leaf.
