Today is 'Akshaya Tritiya'.
An Auspicious Day.
The word 'Akshaya' means will never 'Diminish'.
The word 'Akshaya' means will never 'Diminish'.
The work this day anyone does has a never ending result.
Means if it is a good work a good and if it is a bad one a bad result.
But the result is certain.
And never diminishing one.
So wake up and do whatever you want to do.
It's your discretion.
Get up and 'Abhishek Lord Shiva'.
Go to the market and buy preferably some Brass or Copper Utensils for your sweet home.
Why not Gold?
It's up to you.
But at least one utensil please.
You use utensils throughout the day, not gold.
They are the decorative items for Bank Lockers.
And if you are 40+, and your father around 70, ask him if he had seen his father or your grandfather buying gold on this day?
Be prepared to hear 'NO'.
Be prepared to hear 'NO'.
Its only the money power that has changed the trend and nothing else.
And today the annual Char Dham Yatra begins.
The annual Char Dham pilgrimage in
the hill state of Uttarakhand begins from today on the auspicious 'Akshaya
Tritiya' festival, with the reopening of the Gangotri and the Yamunotri shrines
in the Garhwal Himalayas.
The gates of the temples will be
reopened today for the pilgrims after remaining closed for six months during
the winters, whereas, gates of the Badrinath Temple in the Chamoli district
will reopen on May 11.
Ahead of the Yatra, police have
strengthened security measures and the health department is working to provide
healthcare facilities on the Yatra route.
After the deadly flash floods in
the state in 2013, the Char Dham Yatra
had suffered a major jolt.
However, encouraged by the high
footfall of pilgrims last year, the tourism department is hoping that the
numbers will be more this time around.
The shrines are closed for
devotees during the winter season every year as the region, at a higher
altitude, experiences extreme cold conditions and they are reopened during the
summers.(Author: Ramesh Kumar Jajoo
