Akshaya Tritiya

The Hindu lunar month of Vaisakha has an auspicious celebration known as Akshaya Tritiya that occurs on the third tithi of the brighter half (waxing moon phase). Scriptures indicate that today is a very good day for beginning anything new. In order to bring good luck and chase away the shroud of fear and morbidity from their lives, Hindus enjoy buying gold, silver, and other costly commodities and offering special prayers at home. This day is highly revered by hindu seers and astrologers since it falls under the Rohini Nakshatra, a lucky star.

Akshaya, a Sanskrit term, means "never diminishing" in English. People who worship Laxmi Narayana on this auspicious day by going completely without food benefit from endless sunlight and peace in their lives. This day is regarded as a symbol of achievement and a new beginning in Hinduism. This day, known as Sarva Siddhi Day in Hindu philosophy and culture, is suitable for performing any auspicious ceremony or activity, such as a wedding, housewarming, or buying land, a car, gold, or other precious objects. Due to planetary placement in the horoscope, if a person is unable to locate an auspicious time for their wedding throughout the year, they might fix their wedding date on Akshaya Tritiya without visiting an astrologer.

Numerous marriages are performed on this fortunate day in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orrisa, and Bengal on the idea that doing so prolongs married life.

Observing Akshaya Tritiya: India, a diverse nation, observes Akshaya Tritiya under several names. While the celebration is known as Akha Teej in Rajasthan and Gujarat, Akshaya Tritiya is better known in Chhattisgarh as Akti. Because the sacrifices, japas, pilgrimages, and homas carried out on this auspicious day yield greater rewards than those carried out on any other ordinary day, it is known as Akshaya Tritiya. 

According to legends from several holy texts, Lord Kubera, the God of Wealth, prayed to Goddess Lakshmi on the day of Akshay Tritiya, which resulted in a favourable downpour of wealth, money, and blessings on Him. The Hindu faith adherents adore Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi on this day for this reason. Hindus worship Laxmi, Vishnu, and Ganesh in the morning after taking a bath. We present the gods with flowers, sweet candies, and basil leaves from the tulsi plant. To finish the puja, we chant mantras, perform Vrata Katha, and light the aarti. Additionally, it will have a positive impact if anyone donates money or provides food and clothing to those in need.

According to Vedic literature, reciting the mantra "Om Hreem Hreem Shreem Shreem Laxminarayanabhayam Namah" 108 times will bring good prosperity.

Legends and Meaning of Akshaya Tritiya: • Three lunar days (tithes) are considered to be the most auspicious period according to Hindu event astrology (Muhurta). One of these occasions, known as Sade-Teen (312) Muhurtas, is Akshay Tritiya. According to astrology, it is thought that the Sun and Moon are in their most exalted positions on this day. • The 'treta yuga' began on Akshaya Tritiya, according to the teachings of the Vedic scriptures, and 'Nara Narayana' also took on human form on this day. This day is customarily celebrated as Lord Parashurama's birthday. 'Parashurama', Lord Vishnu's sixth avatar, is said to have taken on human form on this day according to the Puranas.

• According to another mythology, on this day the Goddess Annapurna (Lakshmi) came from the sea and the Ganga, the world's most revered river, fell upon the planet. • Sage Vyasa began narrating the epic Mahabharata chronicle of the great Bharat war on this day, and Lord Ganesh started writing it down. Sudama, Lord Krishna's closest friend, paid Him a sincere visit on this auspicious day. Without anything to give, Sudama carried Poha (puffed rice) with him and gave it to Krishna, but he never mentioned his lack of resources, despite his intention to do so. Upon his return, Sudama discovers that the benevolent Lord Krishna has transformed his hut into a palace.

According to a story from the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna gave the Pandava queen Draupadi an Akshaya Patra while they were exiled in the wilderness. Later, food was distributed to all the hungry people in that area via Akshaya Patra. • Beginning on this day and every four months thereafter, the temple gates are opened for darshan in accordance with the 2,000-year-old custom of the sacred pilgrimage known as "Badrinath." On this day, the revered "Banke Bihari temple" in Vrindavan also opens its doors for visitors to see "Sri Vighraha," the deity's lotus feet.

• In the Indian state of Odisha, farmers begin tilling their fields, and work on the chariots for the famed Rath Yatra gets underway at the Puri temple. Most people fast on this day and honour Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. • According to the Vedic traditions, Akshay Tritiya is a very profitable day for charitable giving; taking a swim in the Ganges on this day is seen to be very auspicious. Starting a new business, as well as purchasing gold or real estate, on this day is seen to be particularly lucky.

• Hindus also think that doing the Shraadh ritual for the ancestors on this day is very lucky. In the name of the ancestors, one must provide grains such as barley, wheat, grammes, sattu, curd rice, and items made of milk. Then, he must give food and dakshina to a pandit (Hindu priest).

A significant spring event for adherents of Sanatana Dharma is Akshaya Tritiya. Akshaya is Sanskrit for unending. Because of this, the advantages of engaging in any Japa, Yagna, Pitra-Shraddha, or Daan-Punya (gift of money, food, clothing, or other items) on this day never fade and stay with that person for all time. It is believed that purchases of gold, land, and property made on Akshaya Day will never decrease and will instead increase throughout time. Akshaya Tritiya is said to be an auspicious day free from any malefic effects of planets and the ideal day to begin any auspicious ritual or activities, according to ancient literature and Vedic astrologers.

Shradh (Pitru Paksha): Ancestral Blessings, Dates, Rituals, and Significance

In the rich tapestry of Vedic traditions within Hinduism, numerous customs, fasts, and festivals celebrate various aspects of life and spirituality. Among these, the Shradh rituals hold a special place, honoring the departed ancestors and seeking their blessings. Shradh, particularly observed during the period known as Pitru Paksha, is a time-honored tradition where descendants offer homage to their ancestors, praying for the peace and satisfaction of their souls.

What is Pitru Paksha?

Pitru Paksha, also known as the fortnight of the ancestors, is a significant period in the Hindu calendar, spanning from the full moon day of the Bhadrapada month to the new moon day of the Ashwin month. This period, according to the Hindu lunar calendar, is dedicated to performing Shradh rituals for deceased ancestors, seeking their blessings, and ensuring their souls’ peace and satisfaction. In 2024, Pitru Paksha begins on September 17 and concludes on October 2.

The Significance of Shradh Rituals

The practice of Shradh dates back to the Vedic period, where it was established as a sacred duty to honor and appease the ancestors. It is believed that only through these rituals can the souls of the ancestors attain peace and salvation. The offerings made during Shradh, particularly the water (Tarpan), are considered vital in bringing tranquility to the departed souls.

The significance of Pitru Paksha is profound. It is believed that a person attains human life after passing through 84 lakh (8.4 million) other births. Thus, performing Shradh is a crucial duty, marking one’s respect and gratitude towards their ancestors. It is said that during Pitru Paksha, the deceased ancestors descend to the earthly realm to receive offerings from their descendants. This period is also associated with the alleviation of Pitra Dosh, a dosha that can cause various hardships in one’s life.

Rituals and Practices during Pitru Paksha

The rituals of Pitru Paksha are carried out with great reverence and devotion. On the Shradh day, the family members wake up before sunrise, take a ritualistic bath, and wear clean clothes. They make a solemn pledge to perform the Shradh and offer donations for the ancestors’ peace. The day is often marked by fasting and preparing sattvik (pure) food with utmost devotion.

The ritual includes setting aside portions of the meal as Gogras (for cows) and Panch Gras (for various creatures) and serving food on a plate in front of the deceased ancestor’s photo. The family prays for the ancestors’ blessings, particularly seeking prosperity, health, and well-being for their children. After offering the food, a Brahmin is fed to his heart’s content, and donations are made as per the family’s capacity. The ritual concludes with feeding the Gogras to cows and the Panch Gras to crows, dogs, and other creatures, symbolizing the offerings to all life forms.

Who Can Perform Shradh?

The right to perform Shradh primarily lies with the eldest son of the deceased. In the absence of a son, the responsibility can be taken up by the deceased’s wife, elder brother, grandson, great-grandson, daughter-in-law, or nephew. The rituals performed during this period, known as Varshika Shradh, are considered highly meritorious, especially when conducted in holy places like Teertha Kshetras.

At Shree Krishnayan Gauraksha, we offer Godaan of desi cows, conducted live for transparency and spiritual fulfillment.

Feeding Gaugrass (green grass, wheat bran, and jaggery) to cows is another vital aspect of the Shradh rituals. It is said that whatever is fed to Gaumata (the cow) reaches the ancestors, making them happy and satisfied.
