Auspicious Kartik 2022 ISV Special Events & Schedule


UPDATES Oct 5 - Oct 9, 2022
View this email in your browser

Dear Friends and Patrons.

Hope this meets you all well. The auspicious month of Kartik starts on Sunday, October 9th,2022. Kartik is the purest of purifiers, and most glorious of all month and is particularly dear to Lord Krsna. Any austerity, even the smallest, will yield huge results and is very pleasing to Lord Radha Madan Mohan.

As suggested by H.G. Vaisesika Prabhu, a simple 5-minute CHAD austerity you can perform this month is to recite Bhagavad-Gita Chapter 14 every day without fail. 

We cordially invite you to the special Bhakti Classes & daily evening Damodar Arati @ ISV temple and offer lamps to the deities. In Skanda Purana 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."  Please see the ISV 2022 Kartik schedule below:-

CHAPTER-A-DAY (CHAD) - BHAGAVAD GITA 

"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
