Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 " Akshaya Tritiya 27 April 2009 The third day (Tritiya) of the waxing Moon in Vaishakha month - the only day when both Sun and Moon are exalted annually Akshaya means that which never ends. All over India people celebrate weddings, plan new business ventures, long journeys and other events on this day and buy gold, silver and other assets. It is a good time to begin what you want to be eternal. The two legends about this date are both connected with Mahabharata. When Pandavas were in exile, Lord Krishna gave Draupadi a bowl called the Akshaya Pathram. Whatever food Draupadi put in this bowl, it never finished, so she could feed her family despite having few resources. ........... On Akshaya tritiya, panchanga need not be consulted as this day is so auspicious that it cancels all negative influences ... " Komilla Sutton Looking for the perfect gift?
