Embracing Prosperity and Wisdom this Akshaya Tritiya
“Just as a single step does not make a path on the earth, so a single thought does not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” – Henry David Thoreau.
As the sun rises on Akshaya Tritiya, an ancient festival rooted deep in the lore of Indian mythology, it brings with it the promise of never-diminishing prosperity and success. This festival is celebrated across India, symbolizing the unending abundance that accompanies acts of good will and piety on this special day.
Among the many tales woven into the rich tapestry of Indian mythology, the story of Sudama’s visit to his old friend, Lord Krishna, is perhaps the most poignant on Akshaya Tritiya. Sudama, a poor Brahmin, humbly brings a handful of beaten rice as a gift for Krishna, despite his own destitute state. Krishna, who sees the purity of Sudama’s heart, welcomes his friend with open arms and showers him with riches that last a lifetime. This story is a powerful reminder of the virtues of generosity, humility, and friendship, which are central to Akshaya Tritiya.
As we contemplate the meaning of wealth and prosperity on this auspicious day, it's an opportune time to also think about enriching our minds and souls. While buying gold is a popular tradition symbolizing material wealth, the broader essence of Akshaya Tritiya encourages us to invest in our personal and professional growth as well.
