As Akshaya Tritiya 2024 approaches, Hindus and Jains are gearing up to celebrate this auspicious day known for new beginnings, prosperity, and good fortune. With its significance deeply rooted in tradition and mythology, Akshaya Tritiya holds a special place in the hearts of believers across India and Nepal.
On May 10, devotees will flock to temples, embark on new ventures, and make significant purchases, such as gold, silver, vehicles, land, or even homes. This year, renowned astrologer Pandit Sanjay Upadhyay has shared auspicious times for conducting various activities on this sacred occasion.
According to Pandit Sanjay Upadhyay, individuals with Taurus and Leo ascendants are poised to benefit the most from starting new businesses or inaugurating shops. For Taurus ascendants, the favorable time is from 5:45 am to 7:25 am, while Leo ascendants should seize the opportunity between 12:07 pm to 2:21 pm.
Furthermore, if you’re considering purchasing gold, silver, vehicles, land, or a house, the most auspicious time is between 12:01 pm to 2:21 pm. Making investments during this period is believed to yield fruitful results, amplifying the blessings of Akshaya Tritiya.
But why is Akshaya Tritiya so significant? This sacred day commemorates the birth anniversaries of two revered figures in Hindu mythology: Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu, and Hayagriva, the horse-headed God of Knowledge and Wisdom. Additionally, it marks the beginning of the Tretayug, the era in which Lord Rama, another incarnation of Vishnu, was born.
In Sanskrit, “Akshaya” signifies never-decreasing prosperity, while “Tritiya” refers to the third phase of the Moon. Falling on the lunar day of the Vaisakh month, Akshaya Tritiya symbolizes endless growth, abundance, and auspiciousness.
As devotees prepare to celebrate Akshaya Tritiya, they eagerly await the opportune moments to embark on new ventures and make significant investments. With the guidance of astrologers like Pandit Sanjay Upadhyay, believers seek to harness the divine blessings of this auspicious day, ensuring prosperity and success in their endeavors.
