*(Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akti or Akha Teej, is an annual spring festival for Hindus and Jains. It falls on the third lunar day of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the month of Vaishakha...)*
Dr. Sharma provides a beautiful educational post about one of the most auspicious days in the Vedic calendar: Akshaya Tritiya.
The word "Akshaya" means "never diminishing" or "inexhaustible." Dr. Sharma explains that this day, falling in the bright half of the Vaishakha month, is celebrated across India and Nepal as a regional festival of "joint prosperity."
Astrologically, on this specific day, both the Sun and the Moon are in their exalted (highest power) states simultaneously. Because the cosmic energy is so pure and powerful, any new venture started, any charity given, or any gold purchased on Akshaya Tritiya is said to bring inexhaustible, never-ending wealth and good fortune. It is the ultimate day for new beginnings.
