Dear friends,
We are opening registration for the rituals “Akshaya Tritiya”, which will take place in temples of India
from April 19 to 25.
Registration is open until April 13, 2026.
What is Akshaya Tritiya?
From an astrological perspective, Akshaya Tritiya is a unique day: two royal planets—the Sun and the Moon—are both in their signs of exaltation. They generate an immense flow of auspicious energy.
This moment in the year is said to echo the first yajna (sacred offering) in the Universe.
“Akshaya” means “indestructible” or “imperishable.”
It is the day of the “imperishable law,” when the flow of time was set into motion—bringing change and the results of our karma (actions).
It is also known as the “Great Wheel of Sacrifice”, whose rotation sustains our world and all the blessings within it.
On this important day, we will conduct ceremonies in temples across India to plant the right seeds for future growth.
Akshaya Tritiya offers a chance to make use of the most favorable astrological opportunities in our lives.
The ancient sounds of Vedic hymns and mantras carry powerful spiritual vibrations, connecting you to the divine and enriching your life in profound ways. Hindu priests chant these sacred sounds during rituals dedicated to the Gods.
Participating in these rituals purifies the minds of those involved, fostering inner peace and well-being.
Join this sacred experience from anywhere in the world through online participation.
In India, before any important undertaking or event, people visit temples to enlist the support and blessings of higher powers. They seek to attract good luck and success into their lives, which require the participation of all forces of nature and the world, from the divine to the elemental.
These rituals aim to obtain a variety of benefits, such as health, prosperity, family growth, peace of mind, overcoming obstacles, getting rid of negative karma, etc.
There are several types of ceremonies in Indian temples.
The main ones are divided into 3 types:
- Archana
- Pooja
- Homa/yagya/havan
Archana - "veneration, glorification." This is a ceremony of exalting the symbol or image of the Deity with the utterance of mantras, as well as the name and nakshatra of the one who ordered Archana. Done in front of the appropriate altar during the service.
Pooja - "worship". This is a ceremony of deeper and more intimate appeal to the image or symbol of the Deity with the recitation of a series of mantras, offerings in the form of fruits and flowers, as well as repeated recitation of the name and nakshatra of the one who ordered the Puja. The impact of the puja is considered to be stronger and more lasting than the Archanas.
Homa is a fire ceremony or fire sacrifice (feeding the fire, which gives food to the gods to whom Homa is addressed). Often a separate altar or hearth is built for the homa. This is the most profound, intimate and powerful appeal to the Divine. Homa is usually ordered not for 1 person, but for the whole family.
