"The hand that gives is the hand that gathers" ~ is a timeless truth. One of the important Secrets of the universe for manifesting material success is to first give with a pure heart. This act according to the Vedas brings back the money manifold. On “Akshaya Tritiya”, the returns are not just manifold, they are infinite. Gold stands for goodness, purity, wealth and social standing in some cultures; there is an added aura of sanctity and divinity.

It brings joy and prosperity. I buy jewellery for my fiancée.It shows a symbol of love and affection" says DushiYanthan while blushes away from camera.
