Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Dos And Don’ts You MUST Follow On Akha Teej To Eradicate Bad Luck
Dos For Akshaya Tritiya
- Begin the day with spiritual activities such as yoga, meditation, pranayama, or chanting mantras. These bring mental clarity, calm your mind, and bring your energy into alignment with the higher frequencies of Akshaya Tritiya for good results.
- Do puja and holy rituals by praying to Lord Vishnu, Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Ganesha, and Lord Kuber. Lighting lamps, fasting, and chanting mantras like Vishnu Sahasranama bring wealth, success and blessings, increasing the holiness of your worship.
- Participate in acts of kindness by donating food, water, clothes or money to those who are less fortunate. Donating to a cause such as education or healthcare increases your karmic gains, which provides peace of mind and multiplies the blessings received on this holy day.
- Go to temples or holy sites to raise your thoughts and attain inner peace. Sincere offering of prayers and seeking blessings at these spiritually conducive places strengthens your spiritual path and facilitates the invitation of positivity and divine grace into your life.
- Recite the Maha Mrityunjaya or Gayatri Mantra before Lord Shiva's statue if in trouble. This ancient practice is said to emanate divine protection, power, and healing, dispelling negative energy and creating a feeling of security and peace.
- Wake up early, preferably before Brahma Muhurat (just before 4 AM), to get divine grace. Any activity done during this time, like cleaning your house, burning incense sticks or meditation, is believed to produce long-lasting positive results, bestowing boons for the entire day.
