Tips for Prosperity and Spiritual Fulfillment
On Akshaya Tritiya, we’re exposed to unique cosmic energies, offering a chance to leap forward in our financial destiny, impacting the next 12 months of abundance and prosperity.
Here are our recommendations for this special day:
- Plan ahead and strive to accomplish what you wish to experience throughout the year.
- If possible, purchase physical gold or silver (or gold and silver jewelry). You can do this online if preferred. It’s enough to buy on that day; delivery can be later. We don’t recommend buying foreign currency. The energy of paper money is not the same as gold or silver. Similarly, opening a gold account at a bank would only affect the digital dimension, so it’s not recommended. Physical gold and silver are the right choices.
- Engage in activities that bring you joy and spend time with loved ones.
- Make an effort to help those in need on Akshaya Tritiya day.
- During Akshaya Tritiya Day, try to stay away from fights, noise, anger, resentment, and sadness.
- Try not to lend money or make unnecessary expenses on that day.
- On Akshaya Tritiya day, prepare your body for special cosmic energies by taking a morning shower, wearing clean and preferably new clothes, and feeling good about yourself. Start the day positively and activate your gratitude so it continues to grow throughout the year.
- On this ideal day for starting new ventures such as starting a new business, partnership, marriage, buying a house, buying a car, or making investments, try to allocate time, even if briefly, for all new beginnings you intend to make.
