The special Hindu celebration called Akshaya Navami happens on the ninth day of the Kartik month during the growing moon phase. This important day marks the start of Satya Yuga, a time of truth and goodness. It’s as significant as Akshaya Tritiya, which marks the beginning of Treta Yuga. The word “Akshaya” means “never-ending,” showing that the good things we do, like giving and praying, bring long-lasting benefits across many lifetimes. People celebrate Akshaya Navami by doing spiritual activities, giving to others, and worshiping, hoping to build good karma and feel closer to the divine. This year, Akshaya Navami will be celebrated on November 10, 2024.
