Dear Devotees, Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Greetings from Sridham Mayapur and blessings from Sri Sri Radha-Madhava, Sri Panchatattva and Sri Sri Prahlada Nrsimhadeva. This Saturday, May 29, is Akshaya Tritiya, one of the most important days in the Vedic calendar. Many events occurred on this auspicious day. Akshaya Tritiya is the appearance day of Lord Parasurama and it is also the day that the Mother Ganga descended to the earth. It is the beginning of Candana-yatra. Many of Lord Krishna’s other pastimes also took place on this day, specifically those which highlight Krishna’s generous and intimate reciprocation with his devotees. The word Akshaya means “that which never diminishes”. Any service or charity one performs on this day will be paid back millions of times. On this day, Sudama gave the Lord a tiny portion of chipped rice and was rewarded with untold opulence. It is on today, Pandavas received Akshayapatra, inexhaustible vessel from Sun God. Traditionally, this is the best day for starting any important endeavors. Vyasadeva chose this day to start writing the great epic Mahabharata, for example, and every year construction of the huge Ratha carts in Jagannath Puri also starts on this day. ISKCON's one of the most important project at Sridham Mayapur is the Mayapur Institute's upcoming Campus Project. So, please consider taking advantage of this auspicious occasion by making a contribution on this day. This would be an ideal day donate and become an instrument in fulfilling Srila Prabhupada’s vision. |
