AKSHAYA TRITIYA , DAY FOR NEW RESOLUTIONS SPRING CLEANING AND CHARITY , GOLD MARKETING IN INDIA , LORD KRISHNA AND KUCHELA OR SUDAMA - CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL
In my previous post about Kalasha , I had talked about how Sachin Tendulkar was converted to god, and marketed with his face on one hundred thousand gold coins , which must by Hindu tradition have Goddess Laxmi or Lord Ganapati on it, as these coins are part of the puja items on Akshaya Tritiya day. .
For a Hindu Akshaya Tritiya is the most auspicious day in the year.
Yes, pseudo secularists , cultivated by a waitress turned empress can cry “so what” if Sachin Tendulkar is part of the puja room , and jump up and down like drooling orangutans.
If they have the guts make small Sachin Tendulkar idols for Eid day and have it installed in Indian mosques and dargas . See what happens.
Hindusim has survived all such onslaughts during 800 years of slavery, first under the invading Muslims and then under the invading white christian man.
Hinduism , instead of dying out is now picking up steam, all over the planet . Already 56% of our ex-rulers, in England prefer to be cremated.
Something has touched their souls.
The key Hindu concept of DHARMA , the right way by human conscience , the sanctioned way by universal laws , which all men must follow, according to their natures - is truly an elastic concept. At its noblest it combines self-fulfillment and truth to the self with the ideas of action as duty, action as its own spiritual reward, man as a holy vessel ( kalasha ).
Hinduism is the oldest religion of this world and is all about tolerance , total liberty and freedom to carve one's own path to divine.
It has no concept of apostasy or blasphemy or even conversion!
But without any push towards conversion it is winning hearts and minds of people all over the world by it's teaching, love and philosophy alone. Is this not wonderful?
This is a religion without fundamentals or lack of compulsions. You cannot get ex-communicated for NOT toeing the line. This is the only religion which by which you cannot be branded as a heretic , because there is no standard set of dogmas in Hindu faith , written or unwritten, from which deviation could make you a heretic.
India is the only place on this planet where Jews have never been persecuted. Openness is the essence of Hinduism.
The heart of Hinduism is oneness and inclusivity.. The ancient noble Vedic rishis had stressed, there are many paths to the final goal. This is why Hinduism has a multiplicity of Gods and Goddesses. You can chose your own deity. This is why Hinduism abjures all divides and separates. It happily embraces all different paths.
15% of the people on this planet are Hindu. This percentage is increasing not by immoral sops given my missionaries or by fear of sword..

Lord Vishnu assumed his 6th avatar as Lord Parashurama on the day of Akshaya Tritiya.
Lord Krishna’s gurukul class mate and childhood friend Sudama ( Kuchela ) visited him on this day 6000 years ago. Krishna was King and Kuchela was a poor Brahmin..
The legend goes as follows.
Krishna’s best friend in his childhood days was Kuchela. Socially, Kuchela was a very poor Brahmin while Krishna was a royal prince. They attended the same gurukula (school) as boys and went their own ways in life.
Later on Krishna became the king of Dwaraka while Kuchela remained a poor Brahmin who married and had several children. They were in such great poverty with hardly any food to feed the children. One day Kuchela’s wife suggested that he seek the help of Krishna, his true friend, on the good day of Parashurama Jayanti..
Kuchela was reluctant because he feared that Krishna might not see him because he was poor and secondly, he did not have anything to offer as a gift. His wife knowing that Krishna loved Avil ( poha ) , prepared a fist or two full of the beaten rice which Kuchela carried in his tattered upper cloth.
On reaching Dwaraka, Kuchela very anxiously approached Krishna’s Palace. Krishna seeing Kuchela rushed to hug and welcome his friend. At the palace Krishna paused all his official duties and gave Kuchela all his time with abundant love.
Kuchela did not mention the real reason for his visit. But, soon Krishna enquired about his friend's family and their well-being and asked what his sister-in-law (Kuchela’s wife) had specially sent for him. Kuchela offered the Avil to Krishna who took a fistful of it and ate with profound joy. Rukmini Devi, Krishna’s wife stopped him from taking the second fist as she wanted her share of the Avil .
Kuchela with a heavy heart left Dwaraka as Krishna had not offered him anything despite seeing his pathetic condition. And he did NOT want to ask , as he was treated like a god and totally overwhelmed by the warmth of their meeting –in the tradition of Athithi devo bavaha.
He was so troubled and sad with the thoughts of his hungry children and anxious wife who were waiting for some help from Krishna. He was so immersed with these sad thoughts that he walked past his own hut.
His wife noticed that her husband had wended his weary way past the hut, called out to him and explained to him, the kindness of Krishna and how their old hut became a beautiful palace . Kuchela was surprised to see his wife and children in royal attire.

Kuchela realized that he would have never asked Krishna for so much .

“One viewing an icon of the Lord adorned with sandalwood paste on the third day in the bright half of VaishAka attains the abode of Lord Achyuta ( Vishnu ) ” ( Puranas- 5000 BC ).
As per Hindus, this day of Akshaya Tritiya is ruled by god Vishnu, the preserver-god in the Hindu Trinity.
Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej is a Hindu and Jain holy day, that falls on the third day of the waxing phase of the moon of Vaishakha ( April- May ). As per astrology Moon, Sun and Jupiter comes collectively under the Mrigshira Nakshtra. This year, the festival fell on May 13th, 2013.
Its position is described in the Surya Siddhanta written by Maya Danava, an Asura . The first two charana /pada (quarters) of this nakshatra are part of Vrushabha rashi or Taurus. The latter half of this star belong to Mithuna rashi or Gemini ( from 23°20’ Taurus to 6°40’ Gemini ).
Maya Danava’s beautiful daughter Mandodari ( adopted --she was an Apsara ) married King Ravana of Sri Lanka. Lord Rama had defeated Ravana in 4300 BC as per the Ramayana.
The average length of the tropical year is given as 365.2421756 days in Surya Siddhanta, which is only 1.4 seconds shorter than the modern value of 365.2421904 days, of the atomic clock age. It contains accurately, the diameter of the Earth, its circumference, eclipses, the number of days in a week, a month and a year. It gives the diameter of planets, and modern Trigonometry ( Sin/ Cos/ Tan/ Secant ) and Spherical trigonometry.
As per Hindu Astrology three lunar days, Yugadi, Akshaya Tritiya and Vijay Dashami don’t need any Muhurta to start or perform any auspicious work as these three days are free from all malefic effects.
On this day the ancient Maharishis did Agnihotra homam for cosmic consciousness.
The meaning of the word Akshaya is infinite that which never recede. Akshaya Patra is a divine pot mentioned in Mahabharata of 4000 BC. It was a wonderful vessel given to Yudhishthira ( on the day of AKSHAYA TRITIYA ) by the Lord Surya, which held a never-failing supply of food for the Pandavas in exile every day.
Departed souls are also remembered with gratitude on this day. Pujas are done to appease Lord Vishnu and Lakshmi to bring in prosperity all year round.
This is the day Hindus give maximum charity. They do spring cleaning in their houses and donate to the poor whatever daily use items are superfluous and not needed for the next 3 years. People fast and do pujas.

It is a good day to forgive and forget the past and renew relationships with friends and relatives. It is also the best day to resolve to give up bad habits, and adopt good habits. This is now aped by the West on 1stJanuary.
Any good undertaking started on this day will be of a lasting and permanent nature. All over India people celebrate weddings, plan new business ventures, begin house construction, start new financial audit books, undertake pilgrimages and long journeys .
Akshay Tritiiya is a holy day in Jain calendar as well. People who observe the year-long alternative day fasting finish their Tapasya this day.
This is a day for recitations (Japa), penance (Tapa), donations (Dana) ritual holy river bathing (Snaana), bloodless sacrifices (Havan), burnt oblations to fire (Hooma).
Hindus buy gold coins for doing puja and as an investment. Gold, bought on this day, will never diminish and would continue to grow or appreciate. So gold sales on Akshaya Tritiya day usually increase six times compared to normal days.
Gold, in India, is much more than just a precious metal . Akshay Tritiya is also an occasion for weddings, and an Indian wedding involves gold. All Indian jewelry stores stock in new jewelry models for this occasion with "Lakshmi-inscribed" gold coins. Lakshmi is the wife of Lord Vishnu and is the goddess of wealth.
In 2013, the jewelry stores wanted people to buy gold before the prices fell further ( the lowest in 15 months) and the value of the inventory stocks fell and drove them into losses. There was a mad scramble to give discounts and incentives to woo customers. Buy a Sachin Tendulkar coin and get for free a gift hamper, with ladies watch, key chain with a pen thrown in for good measure.
India as the “heart of the gold market”. In 2010 it bought almost 500 metric tons of the stuff, more than 55% of the world demand. Indians alone that support the high price of gold in the world. Take away India's demand, and world gold prices will nose dive.
India has about 22000 tonnes of gold in private houses. Some say this figure can be as high as 35000 tonnes. It is estimated that 31 tonnes of gold was sold on Akshaya Tritiya day in 2013.
This is despite Rothschild stealing Tipu Sultan’s gold. Even the poorest families have gold jewelry.

Rothschild is now one of the 5 members of London Bullion Market Association, replacing Barclay’s capital. The sudden drop in gold prices is due to forced selling. The steep rise in prices of gold was also forced. Rothschild controls the pricing.
Forced lowering prices will cause Indian Jeweller shops to sell it before it goes too low. Sharply falling rates of gold lower the value of ornament inventories. India, is the world's biggest buyer of gold bullion. Government has recently introduced a 50% import tax that has triggered a fall in gold brought into India.
No more gold is being produced –currency can be made out of thin air, as is done by the US federal reserve.
In 1991, when India had to pledge 67 tons of Gold to Rothschild controlled Bank of England and Union Bank of Switzerland to raise some $600 million to supplement a poor Foreign Exchange Reserve. Rothschild used this opportunity to plant Manmohan Singh , (who worked for Rothschild) on the Finance minister’s chair—via back door Assam quota.
Manmohan Singh was the secretary General of the South Commission, an independent economic policy think tank headquartered in Rothschild banking cartel’s home turf Geneva, Switzerland from 1987 to 1990.
IMF would NOT give a loan unless Manmohan Paaji was made Finance Minister.
And later Italian Queen Bee would NOT have anyone else except "unelected" Manmohan Paaji as PM-- going against the Indian Constitution for a democracy. Rothschild controls the IMF and World Bank.
With the India National Congress (INC) returning to power in June1991, internation wheeler and dealer Chandraswami devotee , P.V.Narasimha Rao took over as prime minister in the vacancy caused in INC by the sudden violent death of Rajiv Gandhi by LTTE human bomb.
PV Narasimha Rao leaned from Soviet camp towards the Western camp. It was the time when dismantling of Soviet block was in its final stage.
OOOPS! I had to go into politics from religion.
But then that is the way the cookie crumbled.
Grace and peace! ( put your head phones on first )
