Here are some more information for Laxmi Shiva:
If there is a day that deserves to be celebrated as the Festival of Gold, it is the Akshaya Tritiya day (May 16)!
On this day, wealth will increase in homes where gold coins and items are kept for pooja and worshipped as Goddess Lakshmi. This is considered as an ideal and very auspicious day to purchase gold ornaments, jewelry and valuables. It is believed that if a person purchases a small amount of gold (at least 1 gm) on Akshaya Tritiya, the gold will accumulate more round the year.
So, what is it that makes Akshaya Tritiya so special! There are already many auspicious days in the Vedic Year that are favorable for all-round prosperity and manifold gains - Vishnupati for praying to Lord Vishnu for incredible wealth, Navaratri for gaining material boons from the Goddess, and Shivaratri to please Lord Shiva for an abundant life. However, Akshaya Tritiya is the only day which has the potential to accrue 'unlimited' prosperity, abundance and wealth.
Naturally so, 'Akshaya' means inexhaustible and undecaying, while 'Tritiya' is the 3rd phase of the waxing or the waning Moon. It is the 3rd phase of the waxing Moon in the Vedic month of Vaisakha (May-June) that is celebrated as Akshaya Tritiya. On this day, the Sun and the Moon are in exaltation; they are simultaneously at their peak of brightness, which happens only once every year.
Even the scriptures refer to this day with great reverence. The Mahabharata epic narrates that the Pandavas received the Akshaya Patram, the bowl that grants undiminishing food, on this day. Annapurna, the Goddess of food, was born on this day, and later Lord Shiva came down as a beggar and took alms from Annapurna on this day. This is the day Lord Krishna bestowed unimaginable wealth on his poor friend Kuchela who had come to see him with a handful of rice flakes. Kubera, the Banker in heaven, also got his coveted position on Akshaya Tritiya due to his past giving habits on this day.
Akshaya Tritiya is the perfect day to make new beginnings so that they produce imperishable results, to practise the art of giving to ensure infinite returns, and to maximize the divine blessings in your life by performing only auspicious actions.
Praying on this day can help you make swift progress in life and eliminate deep-rooted negative thoughts about money. It is the best day to go for new investments like fixed deposits in banks, post office savings scheme, insurance policies, share market, mutual funds, and so on. It is an ideal day for starting new ventures. Thousands of marriages are performed on this day. It is a wonderful day to forgive and forget the past and renew relationships with friends and relatives. It is also the apt time to resolve to give up bad habits, and adopt good habits.
"The hand that gives is the hand that gathers" - is a timeless truth. One of the important Secrets of the universe for manifesting material success is to first give with a pure heart. This act, according to the Vedas, brings back the money manifold. However, on Akshaya Tritiya, the returns are not just manifold, they are infinite. This is the single most powerful day for charities. So, if you want maximum benefit for your donation, this is the one day when you can do it.
Any seed we plant on Akshaya Tritiya day will grow to infinite dimensions, so one should choose to plant the seeds of prosperity, joy, success, and compassion.
