Kartik Begins With Joyful Kirtan.

The special month of Kartik began on Friday: a month of heightened spiritual practise and rich in festivals such as Govardhana-puja. It is understood that in the month of Kartik, we can make more progress towards God than at any other time, as every effort we make to approach Him is magnified a hundred times.

I found this film on YouTube of a kirtan in ISKCON's Krishna-Balarama Temple in Vrindavana, showing devotees in blissful Kartik spirits! Towards the end you can see them offering lights to Krishna - a daily feature of Kartik.

A very happy and devotional Kartik to you all!
