Akshaya Tritiya is the third day of the bright half of the lunar month of Vaishakha. This year, it falls on 16th May 2010.
The word "Akshaya" means "that which never diminishes" in Sanskrit and the day is believed to bring good luck and success.
The day is particularly considered auspicious for buying long term assets like gold and silver, including ornaments made of the same; diamond and other precious stones; and the real estate. The legend states that any venture initiated on the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya shall continue to grow and bring prosperity. Hence, it is normal to see many of the new ventures, like starting a business, ground breaking for construction on the Akshaya Tritiya.
According to Hindu mythology, Akshay Thrithiya was the day when Veda Vyasa started dictating the epic Mahabharata to Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of wisdom and obstacle removal.
It is believed that god Kubera, the treasurer of the gods, is the richest deity. Lakshmi Tantram says that even Kubera will pray to goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and consort of Vishnu, on this day. On this day, a day-long Kubera Lakshmi Puja is performed in which an image of Lakshmi is worshipped along with Sudarsana Kubera Yantra, symbolising Kubera.
On this auspicious day, offer worship to the Divine Mother Mahalakshmi in her 8 forms here and receive her divine grace in abundance to fulfil all your material and spiritual aspirations.
