🔶 Duration of Kartik Month :
🗓️ Begins: 8th October 2025 (Wednesday)
🗓️ Ends: 5th November 2025 (Wednesday)
This sacred month marks the divine awakening of Lord Vishnu and is regarded as the holiest period for pilgrimage bathing, charity, lamp offering (Deepdaan), and devotion.
ॐ नमस्ते परमं ब्रह्म नमस्ते परमात्मने।
निर्गुणाय नमस्तुभ्यं सद्गुणाय नमो नमः॥
🌸 Scriptural Importance of Kartik Month :
According to Astrologer Bhaavikaa Rajguru —The Padma Purana, Skanda Purana, Narada Purana, and the Mahabharata describe the immense spiritual significance of Kartik Maas in great detail.
न कार्तिकसमो मासो न कृतेन समं युगम्।
न वेदं सदृशं शास्त्रं न तीर्थं गङ्गया समम्॥ (Padma Purana)
Meaning:There is no month equal to Kartik, no era like Satyayuga, no scripture equal to the Vedas, and no pilgrimage comparable to the Ganga.
This month is most beloved to Lord Hari Vishnu, and every meritorious act done during this time yields eternal (Akshaya) results.
🕉️ Divine Presence During Kartik Month :
Astrologer Bhaavikaa Rajguru explains —During Kartik Maas, 33 crore deities descend to the earthly plane and bless those who observe devotion and purity.
कार्तिके मासि ये स्नानं कुर्याद् भक्त्या जनार्दने।
तस्य पुण्यफलं तत्तु वर्णनातीतमुत्तमम्॥ (Skanda Purana)
He who bathes and worships Lord Vishnu (Janardana) with devotion in Kartik month attains immeasurable merit that even the gods cannot describe.
🌺 Origin and Legend of Kartik Month :
The name Kartik derives from Kartikeya, the divine son of Lord Shiva, who slew the demon Tarakasura in this month.
कार्तिके मासि देवेशः कार्तिकेयः सुरेश्वरः।
तारकं निहतो येन तेनास्य ख्यातिरागतः॥
🌸 The Importance of Holy Bathing (Snan) :
The Skanda Purana says —
माघे प्रयागे, कार्तिके पुष्करे, वैशाखे च अवन्तिके।
स्नानेन मुच्यते पापैः सर्वदेवेषु पूजिते॥
Meaning:Bathing at Prayag in Magha, Pushkar in Kartik, and Ujjain in Vaishakh destroys all sins and pleases all the gods.
As per Astrologer Bhaavikaa Rajguru —Bathing during Kartik Maas is said to equal a thousand Ganga baths.
कार्तिके पुष्करे स्नानं सहस्रगङ्गासमं स्मृतम्॥
🌸 The Five Sacred Rules of Kartik Maas (Padma Purana) :
Early morning bathing before sunrise (in Brahma Muhurta)
Lighting lamps (Deepdaan) — especially near Tulsi and temples
Worship and service of Tulsi Mata
Night vigil and devotional singing (Jagran & Kirtan)
Charity, fasting, and merit observances (Dana & Udyapan)
Astrologer Bhaavikaa Rajguru says —One who bathes before sunrise, worships Lord Vishnu, and offers lamps becomes dear to Lord Hari.
🪔 Significance of Deepdaan (Lamp Offering) :
Offering lamps in Kartik is said to yield the same merit as performing Ashwamedha Yajna.
दीपं यः प्रज्वालयति कार्तिके विष्णुपूजने।स याति परमं स्थानं विष्णोर्लोकं सनातनम्॥ (Narada Purana)
According to Bhaavikaa Rajguru —Lighting a lamp dispels darkness, purifies the mind, and reduces karmic burdens.
दीपज्योतिः परं ब्रह्म दीपज्योतिर्जनार्दनः।
दीपो हरतु मे पापं दीपज्योतिर् नमोऽस्तु ते॥
🌿 Importance of Worshiping Tulsi Mata :
Kartik is especially dear to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Tulsi.
तुलसी श्रीसखी विष्णोः प्रियार्हा केशवस्य च।
कार्तिके तां समाराध्य मोक्षमाप्नोति मानवः॥
Astrologer Bhaavikaa Rajguru explains —Those who worship and serve Tulsi during Kartik attain Moksha (liberation), prosperity, and Vishnu’s abode.
🌊 Kartik Month & Sacred Bathing in Pushkar :
According to Bhaavikaa Rajguru —Bathing in Pushkar Lake during Kartik is as meritorious as a thousand Ganga baths.
"कार्तिके पुष्करे स्नानं सहस्रगङ्गासमं स्मृतम्।"
Such a bath grants Dharma (righteousness), Artha (prosperity), Kama (desire fulfillment), and Moksha (liberation).
🪷 Divine Origin of Brahma Pushkar:
The term “Pushkar” means “born of a lotus.”According to the Padma Purana, Lord Brahma decided to perform a Yajna on Earth. While holding a lotus flower, he dropped it, and it fell in three places — forming Jyeshtha, Madhya, and Kanishta Pushkar lakes.
ब्रह्मणा पतितं पुष्पं यत्र यत्र महीतले।
तत्र तत्र जलं जातं पुष्करं तेन कथ्यते॥
Bhaavikaa Rajguru adds —Lord Brahma performed his Yajna from Kartik Shukla Ekadashi to Purnima at Jyeshtha Pushkar, marking the beginning of the Panch-Tirtha Mahotsav.
🍶 The Legend of the Nectar (Amrit) Pot :
According to another tale — during Samudra Manthan (the churning of the ocean), a few drops of Amrit (nectar) fell into the sacred Pushkar Lake. Hence, its waters are said to be immortal and healing.
अमृतं यत्र पतितं पुष्करे सरसि दिव्यके।
तस्मात् स्नानं तत्र कृत्वा मुक्तिः स्याद् अचिराद् ध्रुवम्॥
Bhaavikaa Rajguru notes —Bathing here purifies the mind and body and removes all ailments.
🌺 Panch-Tirtha Bath: Kartik Shukla Ekadashi to Purnima :
It is believed that during these five days, all deities descend to Pushkar to bathe and bless devotees.
"त्रयोदश दिवसे कार्तिके देवताः स्नानार्थं पुष्करे आगच्छन्ति।"
Bathing and offering lamps during these days brings Akshaya (eternal) merit.
एकादश्यां च यो स्नानं पुष्करे कुरुते नरः।
पापानि तस्य नश्यन्ति जन्मान्तरशतानि च॥
🕉️ Pitru Tarpan and Pind Daan at Pushkar
The Mahabharata states —
पुष्करे पिण्डदानं च तर्पणं च विशेषतः।
पितॄणां तृप्तिदं तत्र नान्यत्र इदृशं फलम्॥
Bhaavikaa Rajguru explains —Performing Pind Daan or Tarpan at Pushkar satisfies ancestors and brings peace and prosperity to the home.
🌸 Pushkar’s Greatness in Mahabharata
"त्रिषु लोकेषु मृत्युलोको महान्।
तस्मिन देवप्रियं स्थानं पुष्करं परिकीर्तितम्॥"
Among all worlds, Earth is the greatest, and on Earth, Pushkar is most beloved to the gods.
Bhaavikaa Rajguru emphasizes —A pilgrim who visits all four dhams but not Pushkar loses the full merit of his journey. Hence, pilgrims complete their pilgrimage at Pushkar.
🛕 Sacred Temples of Pushkar
Pushkar is home to the world’s only Brahma Temple, where Lord Brahma, Gayatri Mata, Savitri Mata, Kubera, and Indra reside.
ब्रह्माय नमः जगदाधाराय।
चतुर्मुखाय वेदात्मकाय नमः॥
Other revered temples include:• Savitri Mata Temple (on Ratnagiri Hill)• Varaha Temple (Vishnu’s incarnation)• Vaikunth Temple (Ramanuja tradition)
The Brahma Temple is often called “The Third Eye of Earth.”
🌞 Spiritual & Astrological Significance of Kartik Maas
According to Pushkar’s Lal Kitab Jyotirvid Bhaavikaa Rajguru —During Kartik, the Sun resides in Libra, balancing solar and lunar energies. It is the best period for purification of the mind, soul, and karma.
🔯 Astrological Remedies:
Natives with afflicted Moon, Jupiter, or Venus should perform Deepdaan and charity.
Worshiping Tulsi Mata and chanting Vishnu Sahasranama helps pacify karmic afflictions.
ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय।Chanting this mantra 108 times daily during Kartik brings stability, devotion, and prosperity.
As per Astrologer Bhaavikaa Rajguru —Kartik Maas is that divine period when Lord Vishnu awakens from Yoga Nidra and blesses devotees with liberation. All virtuous acts performed now yield eternal (Akshaya) results.
"कार्तिके पुष्करे स्नानं यः करोति नरः सदा।
स याति परमं स्थानं विष्णोर्लोकं सनातनम्॥"
🙏 In Kartik Month — bathe, donate, light lamps, and worship Lord Vishnu. Attain the divine blessings of Brahma Pushkar and the path to Moksha. 🙏
