H aving finally achieved the supreme goal of life, one thus remains situated in the ecstatic loving service of the Divine C ouple Sri Sri R adha-M adhava.

Duties in the M onth of KÂrttika I surrender to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, w ho w as tied about the w aist w ith a rope, and w ho is the lover of Sri R adha. By H is pow er one is able to serve H is favored month: the month of KÂrttika.

Especially in the month of Karttika a V aisnava should regularly bathe in the morning, w orship Lord Damodara, give charity, follow vow s, and perform other spiritual activities. H ere I w ill w rite w hen the month of Krishna begins and how one should w orship the Lord during this month.

O ne Should Alw ays Follow the V ow of KÂrttika-vrata In the Skanda Purana, in a conversation of Brahma' and N Ârada, it is said: "O best of the follow ers of religion, a person w ho does not follow the vow of KÂrttika-vrata is a sinner. H e is like a person w ho murders his father and mother. "A person w ho does not follow the vow in this month that is dear to Lord DÂmodara finds himself outside all religious principles. H e takes birth in an animal's w omb. "O best of sages, a person w ho does not follow this vow in the month of Karttika is a brÂhmana-killer, a cow -killer, a thief of gold, and a perpetual liar. "O tiger of sages, a w idow especially w ho does not follow the vow of Karttika certainly goes to hell. "If a householder does not follow the vow of Karttika, his pious and charitable deeds do him no good. They become like the screams of a person in hell. "If a brÂhmana spurns the Karttika vow , then Indra and all the demigods spurn him. "O king of brÂhmanas, a person w ho performs a hundred sraddhas and a host of yajas, but does not follow the KÂrttika vow , cannot enter Svargaloka. "Especially a sannyÂsi, vÂnaprastha, or w idow w ho does not follow the V aisnava KÂrttika- vow go to hell. "O king of brÂhmanas, w hat good w ill study of the V edas and PurÂnas do for a person w ho does not follow the V aisnava KÂrttika-vow ? "A person w ho does not follow the KÂrttika vow finds his life's pious deeds burned to ashes. "A person w ho does not follow the KÂrttika vow finds that all his charity, great austerities, and mantra-chanting is useless.

"O N arada, if one does not follow the V aisnava KÂrttika-vow , seven births of his pious deeds become useless. "O great sage, they w ho do not follow the auspicious V aisnava KÂrttika-vow are know n as sinners in this w orld." It is further said: "O N Ârada, a person w ho does not follow the V aisnava KÂrttika-vow loses the pious deeds of an entire life." It is also said: "O sage, a person w ho does not follow the KÂrttika and C ÂturmÂsya vow s is sinful like a brÂhmana-killer. H e is the most degraded person in his family. W hat is the fate of the fools w ho do not offer pinda' to the ancestors on pitr-paksa, w ho do not observe the vow of KÂrttika, w ho do not offer tarpana to the sages in the month of SrÂvana (July-August), w ho do not observe Lord V isnu's sw ing-festival in the month of C aitra (M arch-April), w ho do not bathe in clear w ater in the month of M Âgha (January- February), w ho do not follow the Âmardaki vow during the time of the star PuÚya? O N Ârada, I do not know . In the Padma PurÂna, in a conversation of Sri N Ârada and the sages headed by Sri Saunaka it is said: "A human being in this w orld of karma w ho does not follow the vow of KÂrttika takes the cintÂmani jew el placed in his hand and throw s it into muddy w ater. "O brÂhmanas, the month of KÂrttika is very dear to Lord Krsna. That is w hy Lord Krsna turns H is face from anyone w ho does not follow the KÂrttika vow .

O ne Should Alw ays Follow the KÂrttika Bow by Bathing, Giving C harity, and Performing O ther Pious Deeds In the Skanda PurÂna it is said: "O son, brÂhmanas w ho in the month of KÂrttika do not give charity, perform yajas, chant japa, bathe, or follow the vow to please Lord Krsna are the low est of men." It is further said: "They w ho in the month of KÂrttika do not give charity, perform yajas, chant japa, or follow vow s are thieves w ho rob themselves of their ow n valuables. They do not attain w hat they w ish." It is further said: "O N Ârada, they w ho do not w orship Lord Krsna during the month of KÂrttika reside, along w ith their ancestors, in hell." It is further said: "They w ho in the month of KÂrttika do not w orship Lord Krsna w ith love and devotion are chained and dragged to hell by the messengers of Y amarÂja. "H e loses the rare human life he attained after many thousands and millions of births w ho does not w orship Lord V isnu in the month of KÂrttika. "A person w ho in the month of KÂrttika does not w orship Lord V isnu, chant Lord V isnu's glories, or associate w ith the V aisnavas, kills ten years of pious deeds."

A General Description of KÂrttika's Glories In the Skanda PurÂna it is said:

31 3Ø¨&≥∂π∞¨∫∂≠ªØ¨¥∂µªØ∂≠*®πª∞≤®

"The pious result obtained by bathing in all holy places and giving all charities is not equal to one ten-millionth part of the result obtained by follow ing the vow of KÂrttika. "All holy places, yajas, daksinÂs, residence in Puskara, KurukÚetra, and the H imalayas, and all giving in charity a pile of gold like M ount M eru, reside in KÂrttika, Lord Krsna's favorite month. "The service one does to Lord V isnu in the month of Krsna is all eternal. O N Ârada, I tell you the truth. "KÂrttika is the best of months, the most pious of pious deeds, the most purifying of all that purify." It is further said: "O N Ârada, O king of brÂhmanas, O great sage, rivers, mountains, and oceans w ill all be destroyed, but the month of KÂrttika w ill never be destroyed. "O sage, in the month of KÂrttika neither pious deeds nor sins are ever destroyed." "N o month is like KÂrttika. N o yuga is like Satya-yuga. N o scripture is like the V edas. N o holy place is like the GangÂ. "KÂrttika is the best of months. KÂrttika is alw ays dear to the V aisnavas. O great sage, a V asnava w ho w ith devotion serves KÂrttika delivers his ancestors from hell. In the Padma PurÂna it is said: "O f the tw elve months, KÂrttika is the most dear to Lord Krsna. To anyone w ho even slightly w orships Lord V isnu during its time, the month of KÂrttika gives residence in Lord V isnu's transcendental abode. "As everyone know s, Lord DÂmodara loves H is devotees. Lord DÂmodara's month, the month of KÂrttika, also loves the devotees. The month of KÂrttika thinks even the slightest devotional service is very big and important. "Even though its lasts for only a brief moment, the human form of life is very rare and valuable. In the same w ay the brief month of KÂrttika is also very rare and valuable. "Lord Krsna is pleased by the offering of a single lamp during the month of KÂrttika. Lord Krsna glorifies anyone w ho lights a lamp for someone else to offer." In the Skanda PurÂna it is said: "O ther vow s bring the results of a lifetime of pious deeds. The vow of KÂrttika brings the result of a hundred lifetimes of pious deeds. "O king of brÂhmanas, a person w ho simply hears the glories of the KÂrttika vow attains the result of fasting and bathing at sacred Akr˝ra-tirtha. "By follow ing the KÂrttika vow one attains the result of going on pilgrimage to V ÂrÂnasi, Kuruksetra, N aimisÂranya, Puskara, and Arbuda-tirtha. "A person w ho never performs yajas or offers srÂddha to the ancestors, but w ho does follow the vow of KÂrttika, w ill go to the abode of Lord V isnu. "O ne w ho sometimes fasts during KÂrttika attains liberation. H e attains a glorious spiritual form like Lord Krsna's. It is further said: "O best of sages, a brÂhmana, ksatriya, vaisya, or s˝dra w ho follow s the KÂrttika vow w ill not take birth in a sinful family. It is further said: "O tiger of sages, liberation stands in the hand of anyone w ho follow s the KÂrttika vow as I have described it to you. "H e attains a great result w ho even very slightly follow s the very sacred KÂrttika vow , w hich is served by the demigods, sages, and pitÂs.

The Glories of SpecifÍ Pious Activities Performed During KÂrttika In the Skanda PurÂna it is said: "C harity, yaja, japa, and austerity performed in the month of KÂrttika bring a result, O best of brÂhmanas, that w ill never be destroyed." It is further said: "O ne w ho during the month of KÂrttika gives a small gift to Lord V isnu attains a result that w ill never be destroyed. This is especially true w hen the gift is food.
