Hari Aum Sadhakas,
In the rich tapestry of the Hindu and Jain calendars, few days shine as brightly with promise and purity as Akshaya Tritiya. Falling on the third lunar day of the waxing phase of Vaishakha month, this festival is revered as a timeless portal to prosperity, divine blessings, and new beginnings.
Derived from the Sanskrit words “Akshaya” (meaning eternal, never diminishing) and “Tritiya” (the third lunar day), this sacred occasion is believed to be untouched by negative planetary influences. It’s one of the rare “Sade-Teen Muhurtas”, auspicious on its own without the need for any specific timing. Whether you’re beginning a new venture, getting married, buying gold, or engaging in spiritual practices, actions taken on this day are said to bring everlasting benefits.
Join us as we dive into the significance, rituals, legends, and astrological insights surrounding Akshaya Tritiya 2025 and discover how to align your actions with the eternal energy this day brings.

Question Of The Week
Q - What does “eternal” really mean in a world where everything changes.?
A - In a world where everything is fleeting, “eternal” refers to what remains untouched by time - truth, consciousness, and the essence of the soul. It’s not about permanence in the physical sense, but about inner stillness and awareness that persists beneath all change. The eternal is not “out there,” it’s the part of you that simply is.
Do send us your questions via the comment section or through live interaction with Vanamali Mataji on Instagram.
The Hindu Way of Life
सा विद्या या विमुक्तये - That is true knowledge which liberates.
Santana Dharma teaches us that the highest wealth is wisdom, the kind that frees the soul from limitations and attachments. While material abundance is celebrated, we should also seek the inner richness that comes from learning, giving, and growing. For knowledge that leads to liberation is the most eternal treasure of all.
Reflection of the Week
The ultimate truth cannot be borrowed, inherited, or collectively owned, it must be discovered alone and experienced within. No amount of outer noise can replace the stillness required for that inner awakening. The real journey to liberation is a solitary one, guided by self-effort, awareness, and grace.
Mantra of the Week
ॐ श्री महालक्ष्मयै नमः
Om Sri Maha Lakshmyai Namaha
Mantra for Goddess Mahalakshmi, one who gives us good fortunes, prosperity and everything which is beautiful in life

Ayurvedic Health Tip of the Week - Exposing Your Body to Morning Light
Morning light exposure has effects on the mind through acting on the brain's circuitry. When we wake up way past dawn, work in an office all day long, and come home after sunset, our exposure to the natural ebbs and flows of the Sun's natural light is severely compromised. Long-term, such compromise has adverse effects on our hormones and our mental health. To fix this cycle, try to wake up around sunrise everyday. After waking up. go to your bedroom window and look outside for a few minutes. If you can, consider stepping outside for 10-15 minutes and have the sun's early morning rays fall on your skin for an even better effect.
