Hi All, Kartheeka Masam (aka Kartika Masam) has started. Every day in this month is a Festival. Bathing, Puja, Upavasam, Ekabhuktham, Donating, Vrath, Reading Puranas any thing will give more fruitfull results in this month. Chanting at least one Gita sloka also will vanish all the bad effects from our life in this month. Daily by reading the Karthika puranam book I thought to share with you each days significance.
