21 April 2015 – Akshaya Tritiya Divas – When the whole day
is auspicious for getting success in any sadhana
Akshay Tritiya is symbolized by God Vishnu, the preserver
God in the Hindu Trinity. It was the day when Vyasa started writing the history
of great Mahabharat war. According to Hindu mythology, on this day the Treta
Yuga began and the river Ganges, the most sacred river of India, descended to
the earth from the heaven. It was on this day that Goddess Annapoorna was born.
Kubera received his wealth and position as custodian of wealth and property
with Goddess Lakshmi on this day by praying to Lord Shiva. Lakshmi Tantram says
that even Kubera prays to Goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth and consort of
Vishnu, on Akshay Tritiya.
It is traditionally observed as the birthday of Prashurama,
the sixth incarnation of God Vishnu. Yudhishtira received the Akshaya patra,
which he used to serve food for all the needy ones in his kingdom. It was on
this day that poor Sudama, the best friend of Krishna visited Him (Lord
Krishna) to greet Him after He became the King. With nothing to offer, Sudama
takes with him puffed rice and offered it to his friend and never discussed his
poverty though he intended to. On his return he found his hut changed to a
palace.
It was on this day only that Dushasana, Duryodhana’s
brother, unveils Draupadi at the royal court where Krishna protected her
providing the ‘unending’ veil. In more recent history, Adi Shankara recited the
Kanaka Dhara Strotra on this day for the sake of the poor couple at whose house
he stopped for offering and was offered their only available gooseberry.
A dip in the river Ganges on this day is considered to be
very auspicious. The Vedic scriptures say that knowledge gained or charity done
on Akshaya Tritiya is very fruitful. It is considered to be a very lucky day to
start new business or venture. Many people buy gold or property on this day.
Fasts are kept on this day and worships are performed.
Followers of the Jain religion consider Akshaya Tritiya to
be a holy and supremely auspicious day. It is associated with Lord Adinath,
also known as Rishabhadeva, first of the twenty-four Tirthankaras. Lord
Rishabhadeva meditated without any food and water for six months and after that
set out to accept food. He was the first monk of that era. Jain monks, do not
own anything. They do not even cook food for themselves. When hungry or
thirsty, they set out to accept ahara. They do not ask for it and accept it
where it is offered. Tirthankara Rishabhadeva went to people to accept food.
However, the people of that time did not know anything about the lives and
disciplines of monks, as he was the first monk of the era. The people of
Ayodhya offered him gold, jewellery, gemstones, elephants, horses, expensive
garments and even their daughters to honor their beloved king.
But Rishabhadeva was not in search of these things. He
sought only a morsel of food, but nobody offered it to him. Nobody understood
that their king was looking for food, to ensure that the monks who would come
after him get food and water in the purest form; he needed to lead an ascetic life.
As there was no choice, he had to fast for one year until King Shreyansa
understood his need due to his divine knowledge. Shreyansa Kumar offered him
sugarcane juice and thus Rishabhadeva ended his fast. This was on the day of
Akshaya Tritiya. Hence, sugarcane juice is considered by Jains to be one of the
best offerings.
Akshaya Tritiya, owing to all these great events is thus
considered as one of the most sacred days of the year. It is further believed
that religious gifts bestowed on Akshaya Tritiya become inexhaustible. Jains
today observe a fast to commemorate their first Tirthankara Rishabhadeva on
Akshaya Tritiya and end their fast with sugarcane juice.
In the ancient texts it is also mentioned that if someone
perform any mantra sadhana or recitation, then the person gets the full benefit
of each and every recitation. This day remains energized throughout the day for
complete 24 hours and thus the entire day is beneficial for performing sadhana.
There is no restriction of any type and any sadhana can be performed on this
day. Presented below, are four very powerful sadhanas related to various sects
of a human’s life and are thus recommended for everyone.
Akshaya Lakshami Sadhana
(For inexhaustible wealth)
The unanimous answer for the basis of life in present world
is wealth. The reason for this is that without it, life becomes a long tale of
misery and sufferings. Not just for the family man, wealth is equally important
for an ascetic. In fact, the Yogis who strive selflessly for bettering the
lives of others, might need more wealth than the family man, for building
temples, hospitals and for other charitable purposes.
Hence wealth is the key to success and happiness in life,
provided that it is used for noble causes. If one lacks wealth in life, if
there is a scarcity of resources then utter frustration, hopelessness, poverty
and despair sets in. The Goddess of wealth is Lakshmi and to enchant her in one’s
life is not so easy. This is because Lakshmi remains permanently at a place
only if there is sacredness, intelligence, patience and activeness ruling over
the place.
There can be no better way of making these attributes a
permanent part of your home than accomplishing Akshaya Lakshmi Sadhana, that
too on this auspicious day. There are thousands of Sadhanas for gaining wealth
that have appeared in the ancient scriptures but presented below is a very
powerful and rare sadhana, which if performed on the occasion of Akshaya
Tritiya, not just makes a person rich but intelligent too.

Akshaya Swaastha Sadhana
(For a perfect health)
To overcome all hurdles, all adversaries, one needs the
decisive strength of divine power with the help of which even the worst phases
of life can be easily crossed over. One might well succeed in warding off the
attacks coming from expected sources, but many catch ones from unknown and
unaware sources leaving them struggling to keep life going on smoothly. Even if
one is equipped with a daring spirit, one can possible take on at most two or
three foes at a moment. A series of attack coming from scores of sources
instead of proving to be a healthy competition could mean loss of precious
time, energy and money and even health in life.
Life becomes fraught with worries, constant fears, ill
health and loss of wealth due to such negative influences in life. In such
situations, especially when no amount of wise counselling is available, there
is no other choice than seeking divine help.
Sadhanas alone can help one overcome such persistent foes, for Vedic
rituals are a wonderful source of Shakti or divine power which not just instils
physical strength and stamina, rather also strengthens one mentally and
spiritually. One should perform this sadhana if he is left hopeless in life, is
surrounded by enemies or is living a life full of misery.

Mantra
Om Kreem Kaali Udhrvoditaayai Om Phat
|| ॐ क्रीं कालि ऊध्र्वोदितायै ॐ फट् ||
