Kartika Vrata Will End TOMORROW WEDNESDAY, November 25, 2015
Bhisma Pancaka: The last five days of Kartika month, Sunday – Wednesday, November 22-25, 2015, are known as Bhisma-Pancaka. Grandfather Bhisma fasted for these five days, preparing to give up his life. However one observes Kartika-vrata, one should intensify it for the last five days. Bhisma-pancaka refers to a special vow (vrata) that can be taken up by Vaisnavas during the last five days of the Damodara month. Here are some ways to amp up your Kartika vrata:
- Read from Srila Prabhupada’s books
- Attend morning class
- Attend mangal arati
- Do some unrecognized temple service
- Donate for the cow program
- Go on Friday Harinama in Gainesville
- Help with Krishna Lunch at Santa Fe College
