Akshay Tritiya is the auspicious day in which we have the opportunity to celebrate the true wealth -the indestructible and immortal truth – in our lives. It is also the time around which the Char Dhams reopens after the winter. Today we especially celebrate the opening of holy pilgrimages of Gangotri & Yamunotri.

Let us also open the doors to our heart to allow God, grace & light in – that is the true gold and the true wealth. Let us re-commit ourselves to protecting Mother Earth & Mother Nature, as where nature thrives there God resides.

Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji speaks about the significance of the auspicious Akshaya Tritiya in yesterday’s Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan Ashram, and led a pledge to save our holy rivers and to fill our lives with auspicious thoughts and deeds.
