Importance of Kartik and Mangala Arati
November 01 , 2007
Hare Krishna,
The importance of the special occasions of Mangala Arati and the months of Kartika are the opportunity they provide for us to remember Lord Krishna and engage in His devotional service. Of course we should offer prayers, worship, remember, and surrender to Krishna continually, however this very special times of day in the early morning and this special month of the year afford one the additional advantage of their auspiciousness. Just like the holy places of pilgrimage, where Krishna manifested His transcendental lila (pastimes), hold special spiritual potency due to their intimate contact with the Lord.
Just as a merchant trying to doing business would be afforded better opportunity in a big city where commerce is thriving. Then add the special Christmas buying season and you are much more likely to see immediate result. Of course you can sell your products anywhere and at any time, but Christmas time in a big city has added benefit.
So take advantage of the early morning and the month of Kartika to enhance your spiritual life to its fullest extent.
Sincerely,
Dulal Chandra dasa
