Do you know what a Lucky Day is?
A lucky day is when whatever good deed you do brings tenfold more abundance to your life.
It is one extraordinary day when everything comes together and multiplies into something far greater than anything you could have imagined.
It is the day that brings you a great sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
Do you know that we have one such lucky day every year?
This day is called Akshay Tritya or Akha Teej.

What is Akshay Tritya?

Akshaya Tritiya is a traditional Hindu and Jain spring celebration representing the 'third day of continuous prosperity.' It occurs on the third tithi of the bright half of the Vaisakha month. In the Gregorian calendar, this event typically falls between the end of April to mid-May.

When is Akshay Tritya in 2024?

This year, Akha Teej falls on 10th May 2024.

So in 2024, how should we make the most of Akshay Tritya? Is there any special ritual of Akha Teej?

Normally, the Sanatanis, including Hindus and Jains visit the temple and offer sweets to Shri Krishna on this day.
People also buy assets to add to their abundance. They buy gold, other noble metals, new vehicles, new shares, and even new properties. People who can't make big investments, buy new utensils and home decor items to participate in the buying ritual. People perform this buying ritual to mark new beginnings and invite unending abundance into their lives.
Other than buying new things, you can also perform these 8 lesser-known rituals of Akshay Tritya…
1. You can observe fast for half a day or a full day on Akshaya Tritya. While breaking the fast, you can offer rice, salt, ghee, vegetables, fruits, and clothes in charity to Brahmins and poor people. Following this, you can also take a positive resolution for yourself. It can be anything from breaking old habits to forming new ones.
2. On the day of Akshaya Tritiya, do tulsi and jal abhishek on the figure of Shri Vishnu. You can also apply sandalwood paste to Shri Krishna and do Abhishek with panchamrut.
3. If you're a farmer, then this is the best day to start plowing your fields for the upcoming harvest season.
4. You can start a new audit book for the next fiscal year. Worship Shri Ganesha and Mata Lakshmi before starting this book.
5. You can plan weddings and pilgrims on this day.
6. You can start new projects and business ventures.
7. Take a holy dip in the Ganges or any holy river in your town. You can also add Ganga Jal in your bathing water.
8. On this day, Jains complete their year-long tapasya and observe parna by drinking sugarcane juice.
But what should you buy?
How can you invite unending abundance in your life?
What Akshaya Tritya rituals and remedies are specifically good for you?
On this day, even the mangoes are scattered from the mango trees.

Ancient texts suggest that Akshaya Tritiya presents an auspicious opportunity to ask for forgiveness for any wrongdoings or transgressions against others, whether through words, deeds, or the straining of relationships.
In short, Akshaya Tritiya is a day of new beginnings. On this day, you give yourself and everyone around to take a step towards a more prosperous and happier life.

Why is Akshay Tritra so important?

And why it is called the Day of New Beginnings and Abundance?
Hindus and Jains in India hold this day in great reverence because it is believed that Treta Yuga began on this day. As Treta Yug began on this day, most people believe that the gods bless anything initiated on this day. And this new task will definitely yield positive results for many years.
This day also marks the birthday of Bhagwan Parshuram. Parshuram is the sixth Avatar of Lord Vishnu. This manifestation of Shree Vishnu symbolizes bravery and moral correctness.
But other than these reasons, there are also 6 more reasons why Akshaya Tritra is so special….
1) The pen of Shri Ganesha and the voice of Ved Vyasa began to etch the grand epic of Mahabharata, weaving the threads of destiny and fate into reality.
2) This day is also the birthday of Maa Annapurna, who is the goddess of sustenance and nourishment. On this day, we offer our gratitude to the divine mother for nurturing us physically and spiritually.
3) On this day. Sudama, a common monk and Brahmin was shown the epitome of generosity by Shri Krishna. It was on Akshaya Tritya when Lord Krishna showered his impoverished friend Sudama with wealth and prosperity. By doing so, he taught us the importance of compassion and selflessness.
4) In the annals of the Mahabharata, this day holds great significance, as, on this day Shri Krishna gave the Pandavas the 'Akshaya Patra'. It was a magical bowl that gave them unlimited food and fulfilled their every need.
5) On this day, Kubera, treasurer of the Gods, received the blessing of the divine Mata Lakshmi. On this day, as a result of his prayers, Lord Kuber was assigned the sacred duty of managing the wealth of the heavens.
6) In Jainism, this day is a time of celebration, commemorating Lord Adinatha, their first God, and his everlasting wisdom and teachings.

Are you wondering how new gold, jewelry, utensils, and property bring unending abundance?

How can karma of just one day sustain the blessings for you forever? Is just one day enough to let go of all the regrets, anger, and disappointments and start a new?
The day of Akshay Tritya can be symbolic.
But you, your family, and everything you do to maintain peace and happiness is not symbolic.
They are real.
And days like Akshaya Tritya help you to look at your life more positively. They give you a sense of new beginnings, which eventually propels you in life.
So, in 2024 let's make a resolution to take conscious steps towards our personal success and communal success. Let's all come together, on this Akshaya Tritya to take the world to higher consciousness.
For that, only thoughts are not enough- We need to make fundamental changes in our nature.
That being said, here are some changes, you can consider making from today onwards.
