A Word about “Akshaya Triteeya” (अक्षय त्रितीया)

Here comes “Akshaya Triteeya” again. Day after tomorrow i.e., 13th May 2013, is its occurrence. Now it has become a day of the rich-men to desire for more wealth which they think will bring them unending happiness in their life. Now a days Goddess Mahalakshmi has become Goddess of the Gold. Everyone wants to look like Raja and Maharaja and wants to wear golden ornaments. What else to say even Gods will not wear this type of jewellary and this sum of gold. 

Are we not aware that the wealth rests in the purity of heart and mind? Is it not flows in the breeze of wind which touches every tiny flower, makes lullaby in these ears? Are we become blind enough not to see the beauty of the natural wonders of the universe?

If we meditate silently on this subject we could understand that our universe is full of wealth only. Wealth is everywhere. There is no need to procure it from anywhere else. If it is brought from somewhere then it will get perished.

As Jeevas (souls), our wealth is Karma (actions) which guides us in this world as well as the other world. So we have to do good. We have to think and behave like human beings. By this we could enjoy the bliss of the Gods. This reasoning is lost today. Everyone is engaged themselves in the war of desire to become rich. The character is lost and the inner soul died. The call of the Lord had been unheard by the modern man. At this stage, we have to remember that the time allowed to us to live in this world is little.

Sadly, we had forgotten how to observe this auspicious day called “Akshaya Triteeya” the day which give ourselves an opportunity to think wisely. Please do not buy anything for yourself only. Do not waste time for the sake of yourself only. Think for others. Do charity. Think about poor. Shed tears for themselves. Love our pitiable, down trodden and less fortunate brothers who have no food, shelter and help. Do prayers for them. Go and sit in front of great men, Gurus (masters and teachers) to acquire knowledge for bringing jewel like blessings from them.

Love all and embrace the universal entity by this tiny mind of ours. By doing this, we will attain everlasting mental peace and happiness. Let the Lord give His utmost imperishable boon to all in this day of “Akshaya Triteeya”.

Yours

N Balakrishna Mallya.
