2008 Akshaya Tritiya

Akshaya Tritiya which is also known as Akha Teej is highly auspicious and holy day for Hindu communities. It falls during Shukla Paksha Tritiya in the month of Vaishakha. Akshaya Tritiya falling on a Rohini Nakshatra day with Wednesday is considered very auspicious. The word Akshaya (अक्षय) means never diminishing. Hence the benefits of doing any Japa, Yajna, Pitra-Tarpan, Dan-Punya on this day never diminish and remain with the person forever.

Akshaya Tritiya is believed to bring good luck and success. Most people purchase Gold on this day as it is believed that buying Gold on Akshaya Tritiya brings prosperity and more wealth in coming future. Being Akshaya day it is believed that Gold, bought on this day, will never diminish and would continue to grow or appreciate.

Akshaya Tritiya day is ruled by God Vishnu who is the preserver God in the Hindu Trinity. According to Hindu mythology Treta Yuga began on Akshaya Tritiya day. Usually Akshaya Tritiya and Parashurama Jayanti, birthday anniversary of 6th incarnation of Lord Vishnu, falls on the same day but depending on staring time of Tritiya Tithi Parashurama Jayanti might fall one day before Akshaya Tritiya day.

Vedic astrologers also consider Askshay Tritiya an auspicious day free from all malefic effects. As per Hindu Electional Astrology three lunar days, Yugadi, Akshaya Tritiya and Vijay Dashami don't need any Muhurta to start or perform any auspicious work as these three days are free from all malefic effects.

Akshaya Tritiya Puja Vidhi

Akshaya Tritiya is an extremely sacred and highly auspicious Tithi that bestows great merit. Therefore, on this day, with the desire for success, apart from observing Vrat and Utsava, people get clothes, weapons, and ornaments made or wear them. On this day, the establishment or inauguration of new places, institutions, and communities is also carried out. If on Akshaya Tritiya, the Tritiya Tithi, Monday, and Rohini Nakshatra occur together, then it is considered extremely auspicious.

On this day, since the Jayanti, i.e., birth anniversaries of the two incarnations of Lord Vishnu, Nara-Narayana and Parashurama, occur together, the observer should, after completing the morning bath and related rituals, take the following Sankalpa -

ममाखिलपापक्षयपूर्वकसकलशुभफलप्राप्तये
भगवत्प्रीतिकामनया देवपूजनमहं करिष्ये।

Mamakhilapapakshayapurvakasakalashubhaphalapraptaye
Bhagavatpritikamanaya Devapujanamaham Karishye।

After taking the above Sankalpa, one should perform the Shodashopachara Puja of the Lord Vishnu according to proper ritual procedure. Bathe Him with Panchamrita, adorn Him with a fragrant garland of flowers, and in Naivedya offer roasted barley or wheat Sattu for Lord Nara-Narayana and Kamal Kakadi, i.e., tender cucumber for Lord Parashurama

If possible, one should observe a fast on this day and perform Samudra Snana or Ganga Snana. Thereafter, donate barley, wheat, chickpeas, Sattu, curd-rice, and food items prepared from sugarcane juice and milk such as Khand, Mawa, sweets, etc. According to one's capacity, one should also donate gold, water-filled Kalasha, Dharma Ghata, food grains, all types of juices, and items useful in the summer season.

In addition, one should perform Shraddha for the ancestors and also offer food to Brahmins. In this way, by performing Akshaya Tritiya Puja according to one's capacity, one attains infinite merit.
