–HH Jayapataka Swami, ISKCON Congregational Development Co Minister–
Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 
Krishna says that of all months, Kartik is the best, but some of the Puranas say that better than Kartik is Magha and better than Magha is Vaisakh. In any case, Vaisakh is a special month to do some services like charity, japa, bathing and rising early and worshiping the Lord. It is especially a blessed month for doing charity and in general to increase one’s de

Kartik and the TOVP

2515268220?profile=original

By Sunanda Das

There are many transcendental ways of interpreting the Lord’s most special lila as Damodar, the child Krishna Who is bound by the belly to a wooden grinding mortar with rope by Mother Yasoda. This article focuses on the significance of Mother Yasodas’ rope always being two inches too short, no matter how much rope she kept adding. And how the TOVP, like Lord Damodara’s own body will only be bound and finally completed by great endeavor, devotion and love on our part, and the fina

Capturing Krsna in the month of Kartik

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 04 October 2009, Durban, South Africa, Lecture)

yashoda_damodara

We cannot be on automatic pilot; we must capture Krsna by making a special sacrifice! Then, when we have captured Krsna, we see that one cannot keep Krsna also. Mother Yasoda captured Krsna and Krsna was not only bound by Mother Yasoda’s ropes but Krsna was bound by Mother Yasoda’s love.

When Krsna was eleven years old, then Akrura came and Akrura took Krsna away from Vrndavana. From that day on, the residents lived in separ

A challenge to Kadamba Kanana Swami!

Kartik vows
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 04 October 2009, Durban, South Africa, Lecture)

So, Kartika is the time to tighten up the loose screws, of all the loose ends and to bring it back to the real standard. Kartika, is our chance! It is only one month but of course, after that month, it becomes a habit! Habits are like that. If you do something for one month then it is easy to keep on doing it. So in this way, we can take so much advantage.
