Akshaya Tritiya 2024: Two mythical tales explain why it is good to purchase gold on Akshaya Tritiya.

The most auspicious season of the year, Akshaya Tritiya 2024, has arrived. Around the nation, Akshaya Tritiya is observed with much fanfare and extravagance each year. Another name for it is Akha Teej. In the month of Vaishakha, Akshaya Tritiya coincides with Shukla Paksha Tritiya. People start starting businesses, getting married, or engaging in other auspicious activities on this day, which is regarded as one of the most auspicious of the year. Since the word “Akshaya” means “things that cannot be damaged,” people purchase real estate and precious metals on this day, thinking that its worth will increase forever.

On the day of Akshaya Tritiya, people customarily purchase gold, silver, and other precious metals. Drik Panchang states that this year’s Akshaya Tritiya will take place on May 10. On May 10, the puja muhurat will run from 5:33 AM to 12:18 PM.

On Akshaya Tritiya, why do people purchase gold?

It is thought that on the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya, Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma bestowed upon Lord Kuber their blessings and assigned him the duty of securing the wealth of heaven. Therefore, it is thought that purchasing valuable items like gold and silver under Lord Kuber’s name will only appreciate in value.

According to another legend, Lord Krishna paid the Pandavas an unexpected visit on this day when they were in exile. Draupadi got up and begged for pardon for not cooking a lavish feast. After giving her a blessing, Lord Krishna removed a single stalk of herb from the food bowl and presented it to the Pandavas, giving them the Akshaya Patra, or bowl of abundance. Because they think that the value of gold, silver, and other metals would never go down, they purchase them on this day. It is said that purchases made on this day will always benefit others and appreciate in value.

Buddha Purnima 2024: One of the year’s most fortunate days is Buddha Purnima. Buddha Purnima is celebrated worldwide with great fervour and devotion by the Buddhist community. In certain regions of the nation, it is also known as Vaishakha Purnima or Vesak. People celebrate this lucky day by organising processions and concerts. Gautam Buddha’s birth anniversary is commemorated on Buddha Purnima. Siddhartha Gautam achieved enlightenment under the revered Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya on this day. This occurred during a protracted meditation by Siddhartha Gautam, who was looking for answers about the purpose of life and the source of suffering. Siddhartha Gautam became known as Gautam Buddha upon his enlightenment.

Buddha Purnima is commemorated on Thursday, May 23, this year. We should keep in mind Gautam Buddha’s teachings and how he modelled for us how to live a life of love, non-violence, and peace as we commemorate this unique day.

Buddha’s teachings that can transform your life:

Since everything we do in this world returns back to us, as Gautam Buddha taught, we should live compassionate and loving lives. Nothing is lost in this universe.

The only thing that is constant in this world is change, therefore we should learn to accept it. Everything changes.

Buddha advocated for living in the moment rather than ruminating on the past or fretting about the future.

Truth cannot be concealed: According to him, the truth cannot be concealed from view, just like the sun and moon.

Think positively: Since our thoughts are reflected in our minds, we should feed our minds good things to think about in order to lead happy lives.

Never give up: We should never give up on ourselves, regardless of our circumstances or background.

Walk alone: When we choose the path of truth, we might not always find companionship. We ought to never stop walking.

Never be harsh with others: words have the power to hurt, therefore we should always select our words wisely.

Our biggest possession is our bodies, which are our greatest value. It needs to be loved and cared for.

Manage your rage: Anger may lead us to act in ways that are inconsistent with our morals. It is for us to control, not for us to control.

Never think back on the past: The past is in the past, and it is best to move on. Rather, we ought to live in the moment.

Recognise what we have: We ought to learn to be content with our lot in life and to be grateful for it.
