Help me on Karthika masam pujas !!!!!

Dear nsareddy

During Karthika masam, the following can be done:
1) One can fast on Mondays.
2) Every day during the month, chant Shiva & Guari Ashtothrams.
3) If you have access to Temples, On Mondays you can get Rudrabhishekam done.
4) At home, one can read Karthika puranam during the month.

You can do which ever is convenient for you.

Even if you chant Om Namah Shivaya instead of doing all the above, that is also very good.

 

Dear nsareddy

Lighting diya in front of Tulasi during the dusk time (evening after sun set) is what i heard and we do whole of karthik month. We read Tulasi slokam or just pray Ishta daiva. Other than that sorry i am not aware.

Keeping 2 diyas in front of the house with til oil during dusk time is also another custom we follow.

Dear Nsareddy,

For Tulasi slokam, please follow this thread- http://www.indusladies.com/forums/c...ure-vedanta/4254-the-importance-of-tulsi.html

Karthikai masam is also important for Lord Murugan ...Kanda Sashti vratam is also during karthikai month only...

 

Karthika masam is considered as the most auspicious month for Hindus. Kartik month is the favorite month for Lord Shiva amongst all 12 months. Karthika masam starts just the next day of Deepavali Amavasya.

In 2011, Kartika month starts on October 27, Thursday and ends on November 25, Friday as per Telugu, Kannada, Marathi and Gujarati calendars.

During Karthik masa, devotees perform various rituals and customs. They observe karthika Masa Vratam.
One should follow the rituals given below to lead a good life and to get Moksha (Salvation):
• Don't eat non vegetarian food
• Eat meal for once in a day, eat a light food in the evening
• Observe the puja of Lord Shiva
