Vedic Quotes On Damodara Month
The Holiest Month
Padma Purana
“Suta Goswami says, “If anyone fasts and observes the Kartik-vrata according to the rules and regulations, the Yamadutas, the messengers of Yamaraja, run away from him, just as an elephant runs away by seeing a lion. This dear fast [vrata] of Lord Vishnu is even better than performing one hundred great sacrifices that would take him to heaven because the person who observes the Kartik-vrata goes to the spiritual world.”
Skanda Purana
“Whatever one usually eats, if he gives up some of the ingredients of it in the month of Karttika, then he achieves the same auspicious form as Lord Krishna undoubtedly”
Padma Purana
“Kartik is the best, the purest of purifiers, and most glorious of all months. Kartik month is particularly dear to Lord Sri Krsna. This month is full of bhakta vatsalya. Any vrata, even the smallest, will yield huge results. The effect of performing a Kartik Vrata lasts for one hundred lifetimes, whereas ordinary vratas only last for one lifetime! Srimati Radhika is the presiding deity of the holy month of Kartik. Rupa Goswami and others refer to Radharani as Kartik Devi; in other words, Radhika is the goddess or presiding Deity of the Kartik Vrata.”
Hari-bhakti-vilāsa
Lord Krsna is pleased by the offering of a single lamp during the month of Kārtika.
Lord Krsna glorifies anyone who lights a lamp for someone else to offer.
Hari-bhakti-vilāsa
When one offers a lamp during the month of Kārtika, his sins in many thousands and millions of births perish in half an eye blink.
Skanda Purana
“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”
