There is Ravi Yoga throughout the day on this day. On the day of Akshay Navami, people worship Amla tree and donate Amla, hence it is also called Amla Navami. There is also a tradition of eating food under the Amla tree on Akshaya Navami. According to religious beliefs, on Akshaya Navami, drops of nectar fall from the Amla tree, so one sits under it and eats food, which provides health benefits. By worshiping and donating Amla on Akshaya Navami, one gets Akshaya Punya. If you also fast and worship on Akshaya Navami, then you must listen to the story of Akshaya Navami. Akshaya Navami is mentioned in Padma Purana, according to which Lord Shiva’s son Kartikeya was told that the protector of the world, Shri Hari resides in the Amla tree. At the same time, by worshiping according to the rituals on this day, one gets virtues like Godan. Akshaya Navami Katha (Akshaya Navami Katha) According to the story of Akshaya Navami, according to the rule, a king daily donated one and a quarter heap of Amla (Indian gooseberry) and only after that he had food. This was the reason why he was called Aanvalaya Raja. Because of the king’s donations, there was abundance of treasury in the kingdom. When she saw the king doing this, his son and daughter-in-law began to worry and they thought that if father donated so many gooseberries every day, then one day the entire treasury would be empty. After this the boy thought to speak to his father in this connection, after which he went and said to the king: “Father, stop this donation now. Our wealth is being destroyed by this.” The king was very sad to hear what his son said. He left the palace with the queen and went to the forest. He could not donate to Amla in the bush. Because of his vow, he did not eat anything for seven days. They became weak because of hunger and thirst. After this, on the seventh day, Shri Hari himself miraculously created a huge palace, kingdom, gardens and many Amla trees in the forest. When the king and queen woke up in the morning, they were surprised. The king said to the queen, “Look queen, you must never leave the truth.” Both of them bathed, gave gooseberries and had food. Now they began to live happily in the new kingdom of the forest. At the same time, in the capital, the daughter-in-law and son Amla insulted Devta and their parents, after which their bad days began. The enemies took away the kingdom. They became dependent on every little thing. In search of work, he reached his father’s new kingdom, where the condition of his daughter-in-law and son was so bad that neither the king could recognize them nor their children their parents. But when the king saw the poor condition of both of them, the king hired them to work in the palace. One day the daughter-in-law was braiding her mother-in-law’s hair. Suddenly he saw a wart on his mother-in-law’s back. She remembered that her mother-in-law also had a similar wart. The daughter-in-law began to think, “To save money, we stopped them from donating and where would they be today?” As she cried, her tears began to fall on her mother-in-law’s back. The queen turned and asked, “Daughter, why are you crying?” The daughter-in-law narrated the whole situation. The queen recognized him. The king and queen told their situation and explained: “Donation does not decrease wealth, rather it increases it.” The son and daughter-in-law were converted. They all started living happily together. (With Agency Input) About the Author Kartikeya Tiwari Kartikeya Tiwari works as Deputy News Editor in Hindi News18 Digital.
