April 24, 2009
It is said that on this day, the Treta yuga had its beginning and the great sage Parasuram, the sixth incarnation of Maha Vishnu was born.
Akshaya tritiya(Akha teej) falls on the third lunar day from Amavayasya (new moon) which occurs during the suklapaksha month of Vaishaka. The special fasts and feasts of the Vaisaka month begins with Akshaya Tritiya.
The reason for this day to be auspicious is the position of Sun and Moon on that particular day.Every year, Akshaya tritiya falls between April 14th and May 14th. During the period, Sun will be in Aries which is in exalted position and Moon in Taurus which is also in exalted position.
As the Sun, the lord of the planets and the Moon the lord of creativity(sense) are exalted,the day is considered to be an auspicious day in India.If the tritiya day falls on a wednesday or Friday when moon is in Rohini or 4th constellation, the day becomes specially sacred.
On the day, all married women and unmarried girls take part in the pujas and havan. Fragrant flowers, incense sticks, delicious sweets and bright colored dresses are normal during the puja.
As gold is considered very auspicious and safest investment, people in India buy gold on akshaya tritiya.
There are numerous legends associated with Akshaya Tritiya; most popular is that of Sudama or Kuchela visiting Lord Krishna in Dwarka with a handful of beaten rice (poha or aval).
Another legend suggests that the Pandavas received the Akshaya Pathram (bowl) from Lord Krishna (in the Mahabharata) on this day.
It is also believed that Sage Vyasa began the composition of Mahabharata on the day.
Lord Vishnu and his incarnations are worshipped on the day. Parashuram Jayanti is also observed on Akshaya Tritiya day.
People also conduct Lakshmi puja on Akshaya Tritiya.
The word “Akshaya” means ‘that which never diminishes’ and has many references right from the day of Mahabharata, one of the greatest epic of India.The pandavas had akshaya patra ( where food came in abundance) when they they were in forest(vanvasa). The word “Akshaya” is also mentioned in “Silapathikaram” which is one of the greatest kappiya of Tamil literature.
In 2009, the date of Akshaya Trithiya is April 27. So wishing you all Happy and Prosperous Akshaya Tritiya 2009. And hope that 2009 Akshaya Tritiya brings never ending prosperity and joy for you and your loved ones.
