Kartik Maas, the holiest of the twelve months begins today. (6 October - 4 November). It's the purest of purifiers and most glorious month. It's significance is mentioned in various Puranas. Kartik, the most favourite month of Shri Vishnu, is the sin destroying month and is said to be endowed with divine influence. As per Shrimad Bhagwatam, Kartik month is ever so dear to Lord Vishnu and is the bestower of both worldly pleasures and moksha.
In Skanda Purana, it's mentioned that Lord Brahma had revealed to Narad that 'Kartik' was supreme among all the months just as Shri Vishnu is supreme among all the deities and Badrikashram is the crown of all the places of pilgrimage. According to Brahma all these three would have greater significance in Kaliyuga as compared to any other yuga. Kartik is very dear to Lord Vishnu and any virtuous deed done during this month never goes without being rewarded. Any fast or prayers or minutest worship yields huge results in this month. One important characteristic of this month is that all the deities live in the proximity of human beings for the entire period of the month and accept everything that is offered to them. Penance done in this month or donations made during this month is believed to give Imperishable virtues. There is a special significance of donating food grains during this month. Similarly, worshipping Shaligram during this month also has great significance. Observing austerities during this month or worshipping Shri Vishnu with appropriate rituals liberates one's ancestors from the tortures of the hell. Worshipping Shri Vishnu with petals of Lotus helps one to become absolved of all the sins committed in the previous many births! πŸ•‰πŸšπŸŒ·πŸŒΏπŸŒ€πŸ“ΏπŸ””πŸŽ¨
