“As Sat- yuga is the best of yugas (ages), as the Vedas are the best among scriptures, as Ganga is best of rivers, so Kartik is the best of months<\/strong> , the most dear to Lord Krishna”. \u2013 Skanda Purana<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Kartika (or Kartik) month or Kartik maas is considered to be the holiest month. This month is very dear to the devotees of Krishna because it is very dear to Lord Krishna. And whatever is dear to Krishna is dear to the devotees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kartik month (Kartik maas) 2025 begins on 7th Oct and ends on 5th Nov<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the devotees of Iskcon in 2025 will be celebrating the sacred Kartik month from 7th October, Tuesday to 5th November, Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scriptures says that any devotional activity performed during this holiest month is very pleasing to Krishna. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kartik is special because it represents Srimati Radharani, beloved of Krishna, and our eternal mother. In Bhagavad Gita 10.35<\/span><\/a>, Krishna says, \u201cOf months I am Margasirsa [November-December]\u201d. Kartik month [October \u2013 November] represents Radharani and it precedes Krishna\u2019s month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Srimati Radharani is also known as Kartika Devi<\/strong>. If we can please her with our sincere devotion during this auspicious month then Krishna will also be pleased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skanda Purana glorifies the Kartik month<\/strong>, \u201c As Sat- yuga is the best of yugas (ages), as the Vedas are the best\namong scriptures , as Ganga is best of rivers, so Kartik is the best of\nmonths<\/strong> , the most dear to Lord Krishna.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
