Bhaktivedanta Manor Kartik 2016

Sunday October 16

Kaartik

The month long Kartik festival starts on the 16th of October 2016 and runs for four weeks till 14th of November 2016.

During this time pilgrims come from far and wide to offer a candle to Mother Yasoda and Lord Krishna. The importance of this month is described extensively in the scriptures, especially in Srila Rupa Goswami’s Mathura Mahatmya.

The Puranas (Vedic histories) extol the month of Kartik as the topmost in the calendar. Lord Krishna’s mercy is very easily accessible in this month and to demonstrate their sincerity devotees accept different austerities such as fasting, cutting down on non-essential activities and offering charity.  Worship of Tulsi and serving Lord Krishna’s cows is especially glorified.

Every day, devotees come to the Temple and offer a candle or ghee lamp to Lord Damodara. The Damodarastakam, a series of eight beautiful verses by the great sage Satyavrata Muni is sung daily in the morning and evening.

Do join us for this most wonderful celebration Daily.

Morning: 7 AM

Evening: 7 PM (Sunday at 9 PM)
