    Kaartik Masam starts from the next day after Deepavali in the regions where a new
    month starts after Amaavasya.
    This year it is starts on 8-11-2018 Thursday to 7-12-2018 Friday.
    It is one of the most auspicious and holiest months for the Hindus as it is very
    dear to both Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu.
    Those who deeply involve in prayers to Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu would help them
    in attaining Moksha i.e salvation very easily.

    In simple words, Karthika Masam - The Most Auspicious and Sacred Month
    Month of Illumination & Enlightenment
    Easy to get Salvation
    Sin destroying month and is
    gifted with divine power

    The daily activities starts early in the morning taking bath with cold water,
    going to temple, lighting deepam, fasting and saligrama pooja.
    The most auspicious days in this season are Mondays which is very important to
    Lord Shiva.
    As per the puranas it is believed that by performing the karthka Masam vratham we
    can drove away the past karmas and the sins committed can be destroyed.
    Lighting Lamps with ghee made from the cow’s milk during the sunrise and sunset
    brings prosperity, wealth, health into our lives.
    It also burns the material desires in between our birth and death.

    It is believed that offering prayers to "Shivakesavas" particularly in this month


    brings luck and prosperity. Karthika Masam is the favorite month to Lord Shiva
    amongst all other months.
    Devotees observe karthika Masa Vratham and perform various customs and rituals. It
    is believed that following these rituals leads them to a good life and attain
    moksha. Upavasams are performed on every single Monday. Dhanams like vastradhanam,
    Swarnadhanam, ghodhanamto yield good results.

    "Shivaya Vishnu Roopaya


    Shiva Roopaya Vishnave.
    Shivaya Hrudayam Vishnu
    Vishnoscha Hrudayagum Shivah"

    "Yathaa Shivamayo Vishnu


    Evam Vishnu Maya Shivah"

    Karthika Masam helps the devotee to understand and embrace the thought that there
    is no difference between Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva and they both are one. We
    attain bliss when we worship them in one form. Important poojas observed are
    Ksheerabdhi dwadasi, Ekadasi,karthika deepam or karthika pournami Pooja, lighting
    lamps near sacred TulasiKota (plant) and doing Nitya poojas to goddess Tulasi and
    chanting Vishnu and Shivasahasranamams, chanting shiva stotras once in a day,
    Monday fastings and meditating to Lord Shiva. Due to "kaaladharmam", and with our
    own regular life taking over us, we are finding it difficult to follow each and
    every ritual, mentioned in Karthika Puranam. But if we can at least practice few of
    the rituals and do simple Pooja, keeping our homes and mind clean and occupied by
    God's chanting.

    Lord Vishnu goes to sleep on Ashada Shuddha Ekadasi and wakes up on the Karthika
    Shuddha Ekadasi. During this time, Lord Shiva killed Tripurasuras on Karthika
    pournami day and protect the world from destruction. Karthika Masam notes that
    river Ganga merges into all rivers, ponds, canals, and wells and makes as pure as
    her (Ganga). During Karthika Masam, Ayyapa Deeksha is also taken and is observed
    till Makar Sankranthi.

    It is a whole month festival and poojas are conducted and observed for the full
    month. People citing many reasons cannot perform for the whole month which is 30
    days should at least observe prayers for a minimum of 10 days. They are initial
    starting five days of Karthik Masam and 5 days before pournima. These 10 days are
    very significant days. There is no sacred month like Karthik Masam, there is no God
    similar to Lord Vishnu and there is no scripture like Vedas and no river like
    Ganga, as per our Puranas.

    "The month of Karthika is a sin destroying month and is gifted with divine power.
    Lord Vishnu's is so dear to this month and he also grants both worldly wishes and
    also gives Moksha (Salvation).
