akshaya tritiya

Akshaya Tritiya or Akha Teej is celebrated on 2nd May 2014. It is one of the most important days for Hindus and Jains. It also marks the birthday of Lord Parasurama who is the 6th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. On this day, Lord Ganesha started to write Mahabharata.

“Akshaya” means “never ending” and this day is believed to bring good luck and success. If you do charity on this day, you will be blessed.

Jewellers use this day to market their gold ornaments. On this day, even new ventures like starting a business, construction of a building etc. are performed as it is believed that the day brings prosperity.

Gold jewelry are brought and worn on this day as it is ultimate symbol of wealth and prosperity.

The day is believed to be the most golden day of the year for Hindus and Jains.

Story of Akshaya Tritiya:

Lord Krishna and Sudama were great childhood friends. Sudama was poor and so he went to Krishna and asked him for some financial help. Sudama didn’t have anything except the pouch of Poha and he felt ashamed when he gave it to Krishna. Lord Krishna treated him well and Sudama went home empty-handed. When Sudama arrived home, he saw his hut was converted into palace and his family was wearing royal attire. Sudama got to know that this was the blessing of Lord Krishna who gave him more than required. Hence, Akshaya Tritiya is associated with material gains.
