Kartik Diaries: Countdown to Kartik!

Urjja Vrata

Vows of austerity followed in the month of Kartika (Kartika-vrata) are an efficient cause (nimitta-karana), and as part of such processes as sravana, kirtana they become the upadana-karana (motivating cause) for raganuga-bhakti. In many instances, Srila Rupa Gosvami has mentioned names like Kartika-deva, Urjja-devi, and Urjjesvari. This focuses on the importance of the Kartika-vrata and the fact that by observing it one can get the shelter of Srimati Radhika, the Queen of Vrndavana.

Continuous Effort

Yes, Kartik 2009 is over, but this blog shall go on!
Let Kartik be more than just one special month that comes and goes. It is our favorite time of the year. We live in preparation for Kartik, directly in Kartik, or after Kartik, keeping the flame alive, and preparing for the next year. Every year, we increase our effort, in quantity and/or quality. As we try keep the spirit of Kartik alive, we continue to use this blog, and prepare for next years Kartik. "Let it be even better next time!" Live it up!
