Being Protected From Kali

Radhanath Swami

To protect ourselves from Kali we have to be honest, sincere and should not keep ulterior motive. Hence we became instruments of Maya. We should strive to live by the teachings that Srimad Bhagvatam has left with us.

Goal of Shastras

Radhanath Swami

The Shastras are not meant to simply entertain our intelligence. They are meant to change our heart. The Shastras are meant to actually change the quality of our life and what is that essential quality that is meant to be changed, that we must transform our attachment to matter and the senses to attachment to Krishna or God & His service.

Kartika

Hari Bhakti Vilasa

Although Mathura (Vraja Area) is easily available on the earth and Karttika is easily attainable in the year, but oh, what a great misfortune in the side of human beings who are still suffering in the ocean of material existence. In the month of karttika, all of the places of pilgrimage, oceans, rivers and lakes come to Mathura area [but they do not take advantage of it.]

Dhruva Maharaj

Hari Bhakti Vilasa

Although a child, Dhruva Maharaja during the month of Karttika in the area of mathura worshiped Lord Sri Damodara and immediately became fixed in his devotion, became worshipable by Saunaka and the other sages and saw the Supreme Personality of Godhead face to face.

Attaining The Topmost Destination

Hari Bhakti Vilasa

One rat (female mouse) had once burnt a ghee lamp which was offered by someone else on ekadasi day. By doing so, she achieved a rarely achievable human form and at last attained the topmost destination.

Foolish Person

Hari Bhakti Vilasa

A person who does not offer a ghee lamp in Lord Kesava's temple in Karttika, that foolish person is not addressed as a Vaisnava.
