As per naarad puraan kaartak (or kaarttik) maas
is a month of great mahatva
(glory) because of the following features:
- On sud ekaadasi, that is the 11th day of the first half of the month,
vishnu-dev awakens from his sleep which was commenced in last year's aaso
maas.
- Because this ekaadasi day is so pavitra (sacred),
this ekaadasi is called prabodhinii
ekaadasi. Those who observes fast on this ekaadasi does
attain moksh and is never born in any of the 84,000 wombs again.
- A person who performs krrcchra tapasya or
praajaapatya vrat in the kaartak
maas or observes fast on alternate days or for the whole of the month
attains vaikunth which is the domain of
vishnu-dev.
- sud navem, that is the 9th day
of the first half the month, is an aKSHay navem.
