Dear Friends and Patrons.

The all-auspicious Kartik month or the month of Damodar is considered the best of months and is most auspicious for spiritual advancement.

We cordially invite you to the special Kartik Bhagavatam reading sessions with  H.G Vaisesika Prabhu. Please see the schedule below.

simple 5-minute austerity you can perform is to recite Bhagavad-Gita Chapter 8 every day without fail

Also please join us for the daily evening Damodar Arati in the ISV temple and offer lamps to the deities. In Skanda Puranait it is stated:

"A person who offers a ghee lamp to Lord Krishna during Kartik burns away a collection of sins as big as Mt. Meru or Mt. Mandara, will not take birth again in this world and attains to the eternal spiritual realm where there is no suffering. Even if there are no mantras, no piety, and no purity, everything becomes perfect by such an offering."

KARTIK 2021 -  (CHAD) - BHAGAVAD GITA CHAPTER 8

"As Arjuna set aside his bow and arrows, let us set aside any sense of confidence in our own abilities so that we may hear Krsna's words with full heart and attention.This kind of submissive hearing is the primary requirement for advancement in spiritual life. The devotee who hears Krsna's words with a submissive heart immediately feels an ingress of causeless knowledge and detachment." - H. G. Vaisesika Prabhu
