In Sanskrit ‘Akshaya’ means Imperishable and ‘Tritiya’ means the third phase of the moon. Akshaya Tritiya (Akha Teej or Akti) is an important festival for Hindus and Jains.
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism Image
It is one among four Tithis on which one doesn’t even need to look at muhurta. It is celebrated on Tritiya tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaisakh. It is the day of Aboojh Muhurta.
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism Image
Thus, one can perform auspicious events - Marriage, Grih-Pravesh, or purchase land, Clothes, Jewellery, and other valuables. On this day, people purchase gold as it is believed that charity done on this day brings good luck and success.

Significance of Akshaya Tritiya in Hinduism:

1. Birthday of Lord Parshuram (6th Avatar of Lord Vishnu)

2. Birthday of Maa Annapurna

9. Krishna saved Draupadi by sending unending sari.

10. Sudama went to Krishna to seek help with flattened paddy. Very hesitant to ask for help, returned without actually asking. Krishna knew all, so when Sudama returned home, he found all he needed.

Story related to Hinduism:

A person named Dharmdas, was very poor. But after he got to know the importance of Akshaya Tritiya, he used to bathe in the Ganges, offered worship to Lord Vishnu, and Maa Laxmi, observed fast and gave charity.
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism Image
His family got worried, as to why he was doing charity as they were so poor, but he kept on doing the good work. He died later but became the king of Kushavati in his next birth, because of good deeds and charity work in his previous birth.
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism Image
Story related to Jainism:

The first sadhu of the karma bhumi was Lord Adinath (First Tirthankar). After he completed his 6-month Tapasya (austerity), he went on to accept the Aahar (Food) but no one knew the correct way to provide the aahar to him.
#SanatanaDharma #Jainism Image
So this whole process of the search took another 6 months. While propagating truth he went on to visit Hastinapur. It was ruled by the King Somprabh and Shreyansh Kumar was his brother.
#SanatanaDharma #Jainism Image
They after knowing that Lord Adinath has arrived, greeted him and completed 3 Pradakshina (Parikrama) of him.
#SanatanaDharma #Jainism Image
After this Shreyansh Kumar recalled that he was a queen named Rani Shrimati in his previous birth and Lord Adinath was Queen Shrimati’s Husband in the previous birth and had the name Vajranabh.
#SanatanaDharma #Jainism Image
And both of them had given Ahaar to saints in their previous birth as well. So now Shreyansh got to know the correct procedure of providing Aahar to Lord Adinath. Shreyansh Kumar then accompanied Lord Adinath and correctly gave him Sugarcane juice.
#SanatanaDharma #Jainism Image
This sugarcane juice was known as Ikshuras. And from that day the tradition of giving Aahar to Muni Maharaj started. The same day is referred to as Akshaya Tritiya.

Why is Bhagwan Vishnu called Hari?

Harihi Om.

For many reasons; mainly is because He takes away (performs harana of) pains & sorrow.

He (Naaraayana) is called ‘Hari’ as he destroys sorrow.

-Parama Samhita, Adhyaaya 2, Mantra 99
#SanatanaDharma #SanatanDharma #Sanatani Image
Also because He is the destroyer of the devatas, as per a Smrti shloka quoted by Svaami Vijayeendra Teertha Shripaadagalu, in Shaiva-Sarvasva Khandanam of Nyaayamauktikamaala.
#SanatanaDharma #SanatanDharma #Sanatani Image
ब्रह्माणमिंद्रं रुद्रं च यमं वरुणमेव च ॥ ८६ ॥

निगृह्य हरते यस्मात्तस्माद्धरिरहोच्यते ।

Being the destroyer who destroys Brahmaa, Indra, Rudra, Yama & Varuna, he is known as ‘Hari’.

-Padma Puraana Uttara Khanda, Adhyaaya 226, Shloka 86

What is Shukra Niti and what to do on a Friday?

Shukracharya: A great knowledgeable person who was respected even by Devas and Saints. He was an expert in Political Science. He founded the Shukra Niti. In his niti he has laid down the following points:
#SanatanaDharma #hinduism https://t.co/syF74bOq87twitter.com/i/web/status/1…


One should never reveal certain things in front of others.

It’s great if you are loved and respected by all, but don’t show it off in front of others- doing so will lower your respect in the eyes of others
#SanatanaDharma #hinduism https://t.co/2pRf0avyqJtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
If you have to face insult at any point in your life, it’s best to keep it to yourself; telling that to everyone you know will make you feel insulted in front of others as well.

Tantra is an abstract religion, it doesn't have a clear definition. Different seekers define it differently, many not even consistent with each other. Tantra, though, is clearly recognized as being very different from the ancient Hindu Vedic tradition.
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Before trying to delve into tantrism, it is important to understand that this is not a single coherent system. It is rather a tradition that gradually evolved from an accumulation of practices and rituals, in order to attain the grace of the divine.
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The practitioner of tantra uses his own prana or divine energy in order to harness it to the universal prana, thereby attaining his goal. The goal in question could be either spiritual, material or both.

Tantra in Hinduism could be considered to be parallel to the Hindu Vedic tradition. Tantra contains written records of the Agama, which comes in four main parts, as follows:
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Jnana or metaphysical knowledge
Yoga or meditative practices
Kriya or ritual practices
Charya or ethical and religious principles of conduct
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism ImageImage
Most of the staunch Hindu Vedic practitioners, however, consider the Tantras to be anti-Vedic in character and hence, altogether shun both the cult and the practitioners of the same.

Correspondence between Macrocosm and Microcosm
#spirituality #Cosmos twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The universe consists of a Mahabrahmanda, or grand Cosmos, and of numerous Brihatbrahmanda, or macrocosms evolved from it. As is said by the Nirvana Tantra, all which is in the first is in the second.
#spirituality #Cosmos twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
In the latter are heavenly bodies and beings, which are microcosms reflecting on a minor scale the greater worlds which evolve them. "As above, so below." This mystical maxim of the West is stated in the Vishvasara Tantra as follows:
