ReplyDeleteWhat a refreshing and wise way to see this festival. Love your thought process. I have always associated it with buying Gold, will see it differently from now on.
ReplyDeleteHappy Akshaya Tritya to you too. And yes this Lockdown has taught us many beautiful lessons that have to be cherished and remembered as long as we live. Your four golden virtues are brilliant and correct
ReplyDeleteWow that's a beautiful abbreviation of Gold. Hope more people concentrate on this one more than buying gold.
ReplyDeleteVery well explained. This time we too celebrated akshay tritiya in a slightly different way. All of us started learning something new as learning too is akshay
ReplyDeleteThe way we celebrate festivals has changed in the wake of current events. The virtues you've shared are going to be a great guide to follow in life, always.
ReplyDeleteseriously when I see around I find Gratitude towards others majorly missing in our times. Of lately, though on face level we are showing gratitude towards doctors and medical staff for serving in Pandemic but if see actually there are many instances where the staff had to face backlash from the society they were living in. This is disheartening.
ReplyDeleteThis is so different than we usually do or believe to do during Akshay Tritiya . Gratitude is the main thing to do .
ReplyDeleteI have learnt that gratitude towards others make us feel so good. It is a very good habit that i incorporated in my life.
ReplyDeleteYes it's so important to understand the real values of this festival, it's much beyond Gold and Jewellery!
