Atchaya thrutheeyai is celebrated on coming 21.4.2015,Tuesday."Atchaya"means increasing in Sanskrit.Thrutheeyai means third day after new moon or full moon day.This is celebrated in "sukla paksha" or increasing moon period.This is the day when Lord Krishna saved Draupathi, in Dhuryodhana's palace when Duchadana tried to remove her sari.This is also the day ,when Krishna gave" atchaya patra" a special vessel( which would offer food to any number of persons) to Panadavas during their hiding life period in the forest.If we donate dress,money or things to people that they do not have, or food to very poor people,that good deed would fetch you a lot of good things(thousand times) in your life.Donating to elderly vedic scholars,offering curd rice in silver vessel to temples & elders including offering of lighted silver ghee lamps would also bring lot of good things.Helping poor girls at this day would also bring good fortune.When Pandavas were in exile,they were staying in the forest.This is the final phase of their exile period.Duryodana wanted to put them in an awkward situation .He requested Sage Durwasa & his 100 disciples to go to the forest to meet Panadavas & enquire about their well being.He was only pretending.Without knowing this Durwasa & his disciples went in a midday & met Pandavas.They told them that they are hungry & would like to have lunch there after bathing in the river near by.Now Draupathi & Pandavas prayed to Krishna to help in this difficult situation.Krishna appeared before them & came to know that they have to provide lunch for 100 persons all of a sudden.This not the palace where earlier they lived.If they do not provide lunch,then they have to incur the curse of Durwasa(If any thing goes wrong,Durwasa used to curse ).Duryodana's thinking was that unable to feed them, Pandavas would be certainly cursed.Now Krishna asked to bring the Atchaya Patra ,he gave earlier to them.But Draupathi, cleaned it & kept it upside down.Once it is cleaned, it is possible to get food from the vessel in the next day only.So Pandavas were very much worried.Draupathi brought the atchaya patra & gave it to Krishna.Krishna noticed a small food particle sticking in the vessel.He took it & put it in his mouth.By this time,Durvasa & his men finished bathing & when they got up,they had a strange feeling as if they had a stomach full of lunch.So they decided not to go to Pandava's place as they could not eat now.They just wanted to skip & left the forest.This is all because of Krishna.He laughed & told Pandavas that Durvasa would not come there.So Duryodana's bad intention was defeated by God.dear viewers , you can view our postings from "Thatha Paati.net",Kolam &other articles hereafter.Please give us your feed back.
