Light the world with love this Karthik month

As the sweetest holiest  month of the year dawns, we can daily remember the most enchanting lila that took place in this very month. 

One morning , Little Krishna stole  butter that was hanging from the ceiling and after running in  fear of Mother Yasoda, He was  finally  caught and bound by her ropes of  love  to a wooden grinding mortar. 

This most charming  pastime is celebrated throughout this month of Karthik. It is Krishna’s favourite month  wherein  the slightest endeavour to please Him reaps the greatest spiritual rewards. 

Therefore during this month around the world we daily sing the Damodarashtakam prayer and offer a ghee lamp to Lord Damodara with a yearning  that very soon our hearts will also become bound to Him again.
