Forgetten Truth, A Money Maaya!!!

Today lets talk about Wealth.. Everyone's Pleasure "Money".


    Like Children's day, Teacher's day, Sports day, In our Tradition "Money" Day is also celebrated. Yes, I am talking about Akshaya tritiya. From years, It is believed that on this auspicious day the wealth will get multiplied, Never diminish (Akshaya)!!! so rush to the jewellery, hit or get, bring some gold home (as gold symbolizes wealth). Especially women, so eager to get the long time pending jewels to come home :-)

 You think Akshaya tritiya meant for this????!!!!

Certainly, your answer may be a hard "NO!". let me come to the actual reasons later, if it is a "Yes". Then, it is a big reason of worry. I said Akshaya means "Never diminish" right, you are not just bringing wealth to your home, along with it you bring, your never satisfying "Greed", "I", "Mine", selfish attachment with that wealth which takes you no where.!!!! this selfishness never diminish.


Do you really need that??? Come, lets list out the real, worthy facts about your "Money" day..

Historically,

  1. Yudishtira receives Akshaya paatre on this day by Lord Surya. (So the name Akshaya)
  2. More importantly, Scripting of Epic Story, Mahabharatha Started on this day by Ganapathi narreted by lord Vedavyasa.
  3. Most importantly, Lord Parashurama took birth same day.
  4. Krishna visits to Sudhama's home
  5. Finally, Its the day Kubera is appointed as the Wealth God after Lakshmi.


These are some of the reasons why it is so auspicious. If Know the background of each of these reasons. you realize that, it is not the money behind it. Dont know from where the Gold factor got attatched to this day!!!
Vedic scriptures say that knowledge gained or charity done on Akshay Tritiya is very fruitful.

Speciality of this day,
 Any personal work with a good intention is to be started, start straight away this day without consulting an astrologer.
 Like this, there are 3 more days which doesnt require a second thought to start a good work, and astrologically auspicious

  1.Yugadi.
  2.Vijaya Dashami. (Dasara)
  3.Half day of Bali paadyami. (Deepavali)
 

 Personally I feel, Giving is the real Wealth. No Money,No Gold can equalize the wealth of it.!!!! Develop a habit of giving on these festive days. You never get a feeling of loosing something, Instead you experience a breath of satisfaction in giving something.

I Wish your deposit of real wealth multiplies every day!!

Thanks for Reading.. :)
