It is refining a person’s words, deeds, and cintana (thoughts) through good actions and enabling them to accumulate puṇya. We earn material wealth, acquire vehicles, or attain higher positions in our profession. Similarly, when it comes to the progress of the mind, the growth a person attains by cultivating bhakti, maturity, and eagerness to engage in the service of the Divine should be regarded as the true growth of a human being. Aṟam Sĕyya virumbu’ (Have the desire to do virtuous deeds) is the advice of our scriptures on justice. In that context, Akṣaya tṛtīyā Puṇyakāla is considered the best time to do various Dharma Kārya and to expand our noble cintana (thoughts) manifold. Acknowledged as a period when one gets an opportunity to gain exponential puṇya by doing virtuous deeds than regular times, the day of Akṣaya Tṛtīyā Puṇyakāla provides the opportunity for us to be bestowed with undiminishable wealth - Akṣaya means undiminishable, by doing seva for temples, Veda Śāstra development, and Dharma kārya. In the Mahābhārata, by the grace of Sūrya Bhagavān and following the upadeśa of Dhaumya Maharishi, the Pāṇḍavas received the Akṣaya Pātra. Even while living in the forest, they gained the śakti to offer annadāna to thousands of people. It clearly illustrates the meaning of the śabdā (word) akṣaya to us.

In this deśa, the intentions of some people to create conflicts by highlighting differences do not succeed due to the bhakti and cultural awareness rooted here. They keep our deśa united and with virtuous qualities. The magnanimity of the majority is the reason for this unity. Therefore, to preserve this unique magnanimity of the majority, a life aligned with Dharmā is essential for them. Thus, their strength determines the strength of this deśa. This majority, those who belong to the true paramparā of this land, those who protect the identity of this nation, and those who stand as representatives of this Dharmā shape the strength of this deśa. There are many representatives worldwide. It is a different matter. It is because these representatives of Dharmā follow the Gītā‑upadeśa that all this becomes possible. At the same time, if their unity weakens or their strength diminishes, there is the possibility of saltwater seeping in. It could lead to a situation where pure water is no longer available. Therefore, it is the strength of the Dharmā that keeps everyone pleasant and harmonious (sumukham). The first name of Pillaiyār is सुमुखाय नमः (sumukhāya namaḥ — Salutations to the One with the auspicious, pleasant face). It is our Sanātana Vaidika Hindu Dharmā that keeps this land sumukham.

Human birth is an anugraham granted to us by Bhagavān. As the saying goes, Aridhu aridhu manidarai pirathal aridhu—being born as a human is indeed rare. Therefore, we must use this human birth for meaningful purposes, for the welfare of the world. This sadbhāvanā (noble attitude), sadācāra (right conduct), and saṃskṛti (culture) that we should have for the well‑being of all living beings is deeply rooted among people of all languages. We may not know whether the trees on the roadside have deep roots, but bhakti bhāvam (the spirit of devotion) is deeply rooted in our land. Human birth, enriched with the grace of Bhagavān, should be used for noble deeds. In this birth, by helping plants, vines, cows, pakṣī (birds), and all living beings with jīva kāruṇya (compassion toward all life), as stated in the verse, परोपकारार्थमिदं शरीरम् || (paropakārārthamidaṃ śarīram || —This body of ours is meant to serve others)—we should use this śarīram for sacred and beneficial actions. We should not use it for harmful deeds, for actions that cause insult, or for acts of hiṃsā (violence). Instead, we must use it for सकारात्मक नीति (sakārātmak nīti)—positive and constructive work. Using our śakti, our economic resources, our authority, and positions to help others is the essence of Hindu culture, the Sanātana Vaidika Dharmā.

In the Kāmākṣī Amman Temple, they conduct the Saundaryalaharī Utsavam. From Vaiśākha Śukla Pañcamī until Vaiśākha Śukla Paurṇamī, each day the Utsava vigraha of Ādi Śaṅkara Bhagavatpāda is ceremoniously brought to Ambāl's sannidhi. There, the archaka recites each śloka beginning with the first śloka, शिवः शक्त्या युक्तो यदि भवति शक्तः प्रभवितुं (śivaḥ śaktyā yukto yadi bhavati śaktaḥ prabhavituṃ—United with Śakti, Śivā is endowed with the power to create the universe), offers puṣpāñjali, dhūpa, dīpa, naivedya, hārati, gandha, and performs pañcopacāra (five traditional offerings). He chants ten ślokas every day until pourṇami, and recites the final śloka, प्रदीपज्वालाभि: (pradīpajvālābhi:), and thus the Saundaryalaharī Utsavam is conducted. This Saundaryalaharī Utsavam continues to be performed in the very Ambāl sannidhi where Ācārya did the pratiṣṭhā of the Śrīcakra, as expressed in श्रीचक्रं स्वयम् आलिखत् (śrīcakraṃ svayam ālikhat). It concludes on pournami, symbolizing the ītīham that Śaṅkarācārya, Bhagavatpāda, himself, chants the Saundaryalaharī and performs pūjā to Kāmākṣī Ambāl.

वेदोऽखिलो धर्ममूलम् (vedo'khilo dharmāmūlam - The Vedās constitute the root of all Dharmā). The Vedās are the root and the core foundation of Dharmā. The Vedās are the repository of jñāna. A jñāna samuham (assembly) of which kind of jñāna? It is meijñana (True knowledge). यज्ज्ञात्वामृतमश्रुते (yajjñātvāmṛtamaśrute) - Ātmajñāna that grants mukti. We realize the Ātmajñāna through the Vedās - स आत्मा स विज्ञेयः || (sa ātmā sa vijñeyaḥ | | - That is the Ātman that is to be known.) We cannot believe what we see or hear, but we should research to discern what to believe. What type of research should we do? Without vitaṇḍāvāda (baseless argument), we should study the Śāstrās, Vyākaraṇā, Sāhityā, Vedāntā, Mīmāṃsā, Dharmāsāstrā, and Smṛti and understand the meaning of the Vedās, and grasp what they say beyond as satyaṃ jñānamanantaṃ brahma (Brahman is truth, knowledge, and infinite); मिथ्या जगदधिष्ठाना मुक्तिदा मुक्तिरूपिणी (mithyā jagadadhiṣṭhānā muktidā muktirūpiṇī - She who is the basis of the illusory universe, She who gives liberation, She who is in the form of liberation) - we should grasp the intention of the Vedās.

In the New Year, we should engage in Pañchāṅga Śravaṇa. By listening to the reading of the tithi (lunar day), vāra (weekday), nakṣatra, yoga, and karaṇa, we receive many benefits, including āyus‑abhivṛddhiḥ (increase in lifespan), aiśvarya, roga‑nivṛtti, and the successful completion of our good intentions without obstacles. We should learn the Pañchāṅga details every day. Although archakās in many temples perform Pañchāṅga Paṭhana (recitation), even today, it is conducted grandly every morning in the sannidhi of Malayappa Svāmī at Tirumala. By receiving the grace of Veṅkaṭeśvara Svāmī, the pratyakṣa daivam of this Kali Yuga, we should protect the sthala‑vṛkṣas of the many temples in villages, keep their puṣkariṇīs (temple tanks) clean, and conduct utsavas and prasaṅgas excellently. There are innumerable temples. All these temples should function according to the śāstric tradition, enabling people to understand our bhakti‑pāramparyam. With that understanding, many bhaktās should visit these temples, and facilities should be provided for them. In the upcoming summer, arrangements should be made for the Virata Parva pārāyaṇam of the Mahābhārata, along with setting up water stations and conducting Vasanta Mādhava Pūjā. By doing this dharma‑rakṣaṇam, for the bhaktās to earn puṇya, as stated in Gopura darśanam koṭi puṇyam (The darśan of just the gopura kalasam bestows puṇyam in many koṭi folds), and through divine grace, human effort, and saujanya (compassion) in society, for everyone to flourish, let us offer prarthana to Veṅkaṭeśvara Svāmī.
