AKSHAYA TRITIYA - MYTH & TRUTH


a discussion by author of Hindu Electional Astrology Every year when Akshaya Tritiya approaches, web sites and blogs are full to exploit the masses, since the latter have no direct accesses to the original dictums on Muhurt (election). More so by some Indian TV channels, of late, have been inducing fears in

public minds whenever there is any unusual planetary combination or astronomical phenomenon. Some of their remedial measures were only known to them, thusfar. Lord Vishnu is tutelary lord of this Tithi. According to Hindu mythology, this day is associated with pooja of Lord Vishnu, Tithi prevailing at the start of Treta Yuga (also called as Yugadi Tithi), Parshuram Jayati (incarnation of Lord Vishnu), Kuber Lakshami Pooja, pooja of Goddess Tulsi, the day Sage Vyasa began the composition of Mahabharata,Sudamas visit to Lord Krishna in Dwarka, Balaram Jayanti. In electional astrology, life activities are broadly divided in two categories, viz, spiritual / religious & worldly / materialistic activities. Akshaya Tritiya being one of the most powerful election (covered under Sade Teen Muhurt) according to Hindu electional astrology. which covers beneficial elections in respect of religious activities; and not the latter. Punya Karmas (meritorious deeds) performed on the said Tithi yields manifolds beneficial effects. This year third Tithi of Vaishakha (Shuddha) lunar month starts at 04.10 IST on 16th May, 2010 & ends at 02.31 IST on 17th May, 2010. It coincides with Mrigshira nakshatra starting from 01.18 IST on 16th, ending at 00.25 on 17th May. Currency period of Monday (from local Sunrise to local Sunset period) & Mrigshira results in Sarvarth Siddha Yoga, Amrit Yoga & Amrit Siddha Yogas very beneficial & powerful Muhurt Yogas. Concurrency of adverse Vidal Yoga does not diminish beneficial effects of the earlier said Yogas. Further, From 14th April to 14th May, 2010 Adhik / Mala Vaishakha Maas; by both Shukladi or Krishnadi mode of reckoning lunar months; shall be over before the forthcoming Akshaya Tritiya. Thus according to Hindu electional astrology, the forthcoming Akshaya Tritiya is very auspicious Tithi. The Sun & the Moon are not brightest during the current Tithi. Because of Mal Vaishakha Maas, the Sun & the Moon are in Taurus this time. Deep exaltation of the both planets is not astrological feasible on this Tithi. On certain Akshaya Tritiya; either of them in deep exaltation & other in exaltation sign with concurrency of beneficial Muhurt Yogas, would be a dream position for electional astrologers. Perhaps on such planetary position composition of Mahabharat was initiated by the sage Vaid Vyasa. But there is a caution: no auspicious time is beneficial for all the persons for initiating all types of life activities. Muhurt is the most beneficial branch of Vedic/Hindu astrology, and only specialized in the field may be able to guide the individuals for specific Muhurt. Certainly the forthcoming Tithi is very very beneficial for Punya Karmas. Donations, Poojas, Jap, Tap, Snaan, Havan, Homas etc shall, yield many fold beneficial effects. During currency of Yugadi and Manvadi Tithis prohibited activities are: Upnayana, marriage, ending of fast, house construction & entering thereof, travailing and plantation. In Muhurt treatises purchase of gold in not recommended during Akshaya Tritiya, so do not follow blindly. For Muhurt of worldly activities do consult astrologer specialized in electional astrology.

AKSHAY TRITIYA do not follow blindly

AKSHAY TRITIYA do not follow blindly -- by V K Shridhar ---- USE YOUR PRUDENCE IN MUHURTAS (ELECTIONS) ---Akshay Tritiya is held as one of the most auspicious Tithi in Hindu calendar and is covered under Sade Teen Muhurtas, which is held by all the exponents as extremely auspicious period in Muhurt (electional) astrology. Akshay literally means which can not be destroyed. But the question is whether all the living-beings should follow this period for their auspicious Muhurta and for initiation of all the life activities. The answer certainly is NO. It is not feasible to throw full light on the Hindu system of electional astrology in an article of this nature but effort is made to enlighten professional astrologer not to misguide the masses. Ashay Tritiya is the third lunar day (Tithi) of bright half (Shukla Paksha) of Vaishakha lunar month. It was the Tithi prevailing at the start of Treta Yuga & is called as Yugadi Tithi. Its Devta is Lord Vishnu, and it coincides with Parshuram Jyanti. Punya Karma such as Japa, Tapa, Dana, Snaana, Havan, Hooma performed in this Tithi is extremely meritorious. During currency of Yugadi and Manvadi Tithis prohibited activities are, Upnayana, marriage, ending of fast, house construction & entering thereof, travailing and plantation. Thus following dictums of Hindu electional astrology the said activities should be prohibited on Akshya Tritya. The said Tithi is beneficial for Punya Karmas and not for the worldly activities. Selection of an auspicious Tithis for initiating an activity in the first fundamental of Hindu electional astrology. It has to be ensured that the Tithi is not sullied or become inauspicious by virtue of presence of other adverse electional element. Further there can not be said with certainty that a particular time is auspicious for all the human beings for all types of life activities. Auspiciousness of a Tithi is decided based on Janma Rashi and name of the doer, transits of planets , Sartvatobhadra Chakra, its favourable / unfavourable durations, its sub-divisions (Kshana Tithi), Muhurt Yoga formed with prevailing week-day & constellation, maleficenece due to Mass Shunya Tithi, Tithi Shunya Nakshatra, Tithi-Shunya Lagna, Kshaya Tithi, Vridhi-Tithi, Pradosha, its VishGhati & Amrit Ghatis, Ghaata Tithis, malefic Tithis for certain Rashis. etc. to name some of the elements in its selection. Better the work is left to specialists in the field. Now referring to the Akshay Tritiya falling on 7th May, 2008 in light of the some of the above elements we may examine how it is limited to its usefulness. The said Tithis starts at 10.08 IST (04.38 GMT) and ends at 06.34 IST (01.04 GMT). It coincides with currency of Krittika Nakshatra up to 20.01 IST (14.31 GMT) on 7th May, 2008 and there after Rohini nakshatra prevails up to 17.34 IST (12.04 GMT) on 8th May, 2008. Currency of the Tithi and Nakkshatra are universal phenomenon. However weekday is Wednesday in India which is based on local sun-rise. Atiganda Yoga- a malefic Yoga prevails up to 01.00 IST on 8th May, 2008. Incidentally the Tithi is not Kshaya in India, but it is Kshaya in the geographical regions where the local sunrise is between 01.04 GMT to 04.38 GMT. In those regions the weekday shall be sullied due to Tithi Kshay.Its portion (9th Ghati to 12th Ghati considering day length as 60 Ghatis) is Vish Ghati. This period starts from 12.51 IST

(07.31 GMT) to 14.12 IST (08.42 GMT) - which is considered as highly poisonous- and should be prohibited. in good elections. The Tithi coincides with Wednesday, which forms Mrityu Yoga- deadly Yogaprohibited for any good election. According to Sage Brihaspati concurrence of Wednesday and 3rd Tithi forms Dagdha Yoga- another deadly Yoga. During 3rd Tithi: Leo and Capricorn ascendants are Tithi Shunya Lagnas ; and also Gemini & Virgo ascendants , being malefic ascendants for Jaya Tithis therefore the periods coinciding with these ascendants should be avoided- it is a local phenomenon. should be calculated. Further 3rd Tithis is held as inauspicious for peoples having Leo, Sagittarius and Aquarius as Janma Rashis; some opine that it is malefic for Gemini as Janma Rashi. However the Tithis coincides with Rohini Nakshatra up to 20.01 IST which forms Amrit Siddha Yoga" or Prashata Yoga; and thereafter with Mrigshira Nakshatra it forms Sarvartha Sidhha Yoga. Both the Yogas are held as highly auspicious Muhurt Yogas. It also forms auspicious Ravi Yoga from 20.01 IST on 7th May, 2008 to 17.34 IST on 8th May, 2008- another powerful electional Yoga. Thus it is observed that all the moments of the Akshay Tritiya falling on 7th May, 2008 are not auspicious, and certainly not for all the said Tithi is auspicious. It is sullied to some extent. Further for precise auspicious moments in the Tithi, one has also to calculate Kshana Tithi (sub-division of Tithi) period. From the above it shall be concluded by the learned readers that they should not blindly use the Akshay Tritiya falling on 7th May, 2008 for beneficial elections (Muhurtas) especially worldly activities, rather they should follow cautiously and in consultations with astrologers having specialization in Hindu Electional astrology.
