Every night at our ISKCON Juhu temple during Karttika month, thousands of people offer lamps to Their Lordships.
It is said in the Hari Bhakti Vilasa:
“O tiger of sages, a person who during the month of Karttika eagerly hears the topics of Lord Krishna delivers a hundred generations of his family.”
Lord Krishna explains to Satyabhama: “They who during the month of Karttika bathe, keep an all-night vigil, offer lamps, and protect a tulasi forest, attain spiritual forms like Lord Vishnu’s.”
“Lord Krishna is pleased by the offering of a single lamp during the month of Karttika. Lord Krishna glorifies anyone who lights a lamp for someone else to offer.”
