Akshaya Tritiya is traditionally observed as the birthday of Parusurama, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Puranas spoke about how he reclaimed the land from the sea. The brightness of the Sun and Moon is at its best at the west coast of India. Goa and Konkan regions, even today, are referred to as Parusurama Kshetra. He then settled 96 selected families there, called Shahanavkuli Brahmins, who are said to have created the cultural heritage of this part of India.

Akshaya Patram 
Lord Krishna gave Draupadi a bowl called Akshaya Patram. This bowl gave infinite amount of food to the Pandavas when the latter were in exile. On Akshaya Tritiya the Pandavas unearthed weapons, which helped the latter to gain victory over the Kauravas. 

New beginnings like weddings, business ventures, new deals, new audit books, business trips are considered to bring luck. Valuables bought on this day, such as gold is deemed auspicious. It is believed that gold multiplies if bought on this day. 

Akshaya Tritya is an occasion known for bringing communities together. The day is considered auspicious by Hindus and Jains for the purchase of gold, an expression that in some ways is indicative of wealth, beauty and joy. In Rajasthan, the day is called Aakha Teej and is considered very auspicious for weddings as well. 

The day is generally observed by fasting and worship Lard Vasudeva with rice grains. The day gains more importance when it falls on a Monday or under Rohini Star. A dip in the Ganges on this day is considered to be very auspicious. Akshaya Tritiya is also called Navanna Parvam. This day also happens to be Parusurama Jayanti. Akshaya Tritiya falling on a Rohini star day is considered more auspicious. Needless to say, this rare occasion comes this year. Lord Kubera, considered to be the richest, is one amongst the Astadikpalakas. Lakshmi Tantram says that this Lord will himself pray to Goddess Lakshmi on this day. 

Most of us are already aware of Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. Out of these, Artha plays an important role. Artha here means money. Even decades passes by, the importance of Artha remains the same. Without Artha, nothing can be achieved. Here Artha merely does not only mean money but also includes honour, happiness etc.

" A child can survive without his mother but he cannot survive without Lakshmi". Shri Devi Bhagwat Maha Puran

Too many people are hurting at the moment, you are not alone. Keep praying; SHE is going to hear you, SHE has to.

The sun is a natural giver, giving freely to one and all. Those born in May are natural social reformers since they have an integral part of the sun within them. They stand out brilliantly in life, easily overshadowing others. Basaveshwara was born on May 4, Ramanujacharya and Adi Shankaracharya on May 6, Swami Chinmayananda on the 8th and Gautam Buddha on the 16th. Thus, between Akshay Tritiya and Buddha Poornima, there is a celestial gathering and many Mahatmas are born. Almost all social reformers are born during this period and they believed in one thing, CHANGE YOURSELF. The world outside will change dramatically when you change yourself.
