A new beginning...

Quote This time the Akshay Treetiya carries many auspicious astrological combinations such as it falls on Friday when sun, moon and Venus are in exalted position that represent luxury and long term bonds and that makes it a very fantastic day for weddings too.

The word "Akshay" means 'the never diminishing' in Sanskrit and the day is believed to bring good luck and success. It is believed that if you do charity on this day you will be blessed. The day is considered auspicious for starting new ventures: any venture initiated on the auspicious day of Akshay Treetiya is assumed to grow and bring prosperity.

Gold is best. Other than gold you may invest in real estate, mutual funds, bank, insurance policies, vehicles, homes, property, household items, jewellery etc. as it is considered that items purchased today last for a longer time. - Madan Gupta Spatu, author & astrologer
