AKSHAYA Tritiya is an auspicious day in India and across the world when families prepare to receive blessings upon their families and households by purchasing certain items such as gold, charitable items for the poor and start new ventures in the belief that it will bring eternal prosperity into their lives. Akshaya Tritiya is considered a favorable day to embark on new paths that relate to marriages, businesses and spiritual journeys. While Akshaya Tritiya is most associated with the purchase of gold, the auspicious day is an important time in the Hindu calendar to bless the less fortunate.
On Akshaya Tritiya, people are known to make donations to the poor and less fortunate on behalf of their families. These charitable donations are made in the hope and belief that their homes will receive multifold blessings in return for their kindness and compassion for the less fortunate, as good karma. For those who wish to donate to charity on Akshaya Tritiya, items such as food, clothing, rice, flour, cooking oil, shoes and other materials that help the poor are donated. Families also make time to visit orphanages, old age homes and temples to give to people in desperate need and make their lives better through their charitable donations.
Here are 5 ways you can bless the less fortunate this Akshaya Tritiya:
