Karttika is a sale like Black Friday. Everything is given away for nothing!
Kadamba Kanana Swami: Kunti was so interested in Krishna she did not care about anything else. She said, “My Lord, Your Lordship can easily be approached, but only by those who are materially exhausted. One who is on the path of [material] progress, trying to improve himself with respectable parentage, great opulence, high education and bodily beauty, cannot approach You with sincere feeling.” (SB 1.8.26)
As soon as we glorify the devotee, Krishna is immediately attracted.
Krishna comes from the word akarsna which means He is attractive, but Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura explains that akarsna also means that Krishna is attracted. What is He attracted by? Devotional service.
Karttika is a sale like Black Friday. Everything is given away for nothing.
Some people during Karttika take vows to do positive things, like reading a chapter of Krishna book. Imagine you do that for 30 days. You will be off the ground by the end of the month. You just read Krishna book, and you’re already back to Godhead.
Our present emotions give just a hint of genuine spiritual emotions. Krishna’s humanlike form can capture our emotions.
We take vows to develop attachment to Krishna. I embrace the positive vows because they awaken our love for Krishna.
Because as souls we are eternal, we want things to last.
This is the abode of ignorance. We do not know what will happen.
In the spiritual world there is no unknowing.
