Akshaya Tritiya: Secret of Non-Declining Wealth
Ancient mystics in India could observe how our life is influenced by an astronomical phenomenon as they had identified a specific Moon that has got within it the secret of Non-Declining Wealth. That specific Moon is the 3rd waxing Moon when the Sun is exalted, called Akshaya Tritiya. This 24 hour window of time comes only once in a year, when the Earth is filled with a powerful energy to support material abundance and royalty consciousness. If you ideate and meditate on the concept of Non-Declining Wealth, it will sink deeper into your consciousness and will create a permanent link with the Goddess of Wealth Lakshmi and the Banker in Heaven Kubera. Holding an idea in your mind is Everything. The idea is you buy gold and keep it, because gold is the real money. That’s why people in India wait for Akshaya Tritiya to buy gold. On this day, you can develop the concept that, my money should never run out, run down and also keep improving.

Astrospeak:In Vedic Astrology, the 27 constellations (also known as Nakshatras), are the medium through which we understand the influence of stars on our life. The term “Nakshatra,” translates into Star Map. The Nakshatra aligned with our natal Moon at birth gives insight into our personality. According to ancient Indian seers, Nakshatras is where our Karmas are stored and it is the Nakshatras in turn that dispense our Karmas at an appointed time.
