https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akshaya_Tritiya
in fact, the day was so amazing that i opened a vedic calendar to find what that day is -- the thing i do very-very rarely
i can not remember a proper mention of akshaya tritiya for all that years i was at iskcon (probably there were mentions, but they were so insufficient, that i can not remember); i noticed akshaya tritiya 1 or 2 years ago while reading about vedic astrology and forgot up to the moment of reading vedic calendar
so the case may be seen as 1 experimental verification for vedic astrology (those who firmly *believe* in vedic astrology must remember that there are different values of ayanamsa and afaik problems for places above/below polar circles)
there are also some other positive information about this day, but i shall report it on your request only -- because i compose an english text very slowly
