*Reflections*

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it.

$ Akshaya tritiya $

Today is Akshaya tritiya...What is the day all about?

Heard…if we buy gold or garments or any superior thing on this particular day…it’s going to be “akshaya”. People are crazy enough to pre-book the ornaments to buy on this particular day and believe it’s going to be perpetual.

The word akshaya literally means “everlasting”. People prefer this propitious day to start their business or to enter the newly built house, to perform sacred ceremonies or to get married.

The much hyped Akshaya tritiya is considered as one among the most auspicious days of vedic calendar. It is also said that the day is so auspicious that one need not check muhurthas for any timings on this day. The day is spiritual & is preferred to perform poojas, donate or give aid to the needy. But the recent trends show that the day is meant only to buy gold & worship goddess Laxmi. Gold council has commercialized the concept of course. Seasonally, Gold prices have hiked up like anything but it doesn’t matter. Once in a year at least women are justified for what they demand. Don’t miss it!:)

Me? Nope…I got it 3 weeks back when it priced better than now ;)
