Akshay Tritiya Story
Many of you may know that Akshay Tritiya is connected to Lord Krishna and his Brahmin friend Sudama during childhood. On the day of Akha Teej, Sudama went to meet Lord Krishna in Dwarka seeking some financial aid. The Lord welcomed Sudama warm-heartedly and used to follow the approach of ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’ (meaning a guest is a form of God).
Seeing the riches of Lord Krishna, Sudama felt humiliated to offer his gift. He had brought a bowl of ‘Poha’ that Krishna accepted with immense sincerity. He enjoyed this gift as a testimony of friendship, sweetness and care. Sudama, who was ashamed of asking for financial help, returned home with a calm heart. To his sheer surprise, Sudama discovered that his poor hut was turned into a palace! His integrity and simplicity were taken as the symbol of friendship, unconditional trust, and kindness by Lord Krishna. Thus, the day of Akha Teej is said to bring great material gains and abundance.
