If even for a short time somebody burns a lamp in the temple of Lord Sri Hari, then whatever sins he has acquired for millions of kalpas (one kalpa equals 1000 yugas) are all destroyed.
Any person who performs bathing in the month of Karttika, remaining awake, offering lamps, giving charity or planting and transplanting tulasi, he achieves the same form as Lord Sri Visnu.
Any person in the month of Karttika, who eats on the leaf plate of palasa, the remnants of the lord, becomes free from all sins and achieves liberation. Besides brahmanas (twice born persons), others are not advised to eat from this leaf because this leaf is said to be the leaf of the supreme lord.
