Devotees offer lights to Their Lordship after Gaura Aarti. HG Narottam Das told that the Lamp offering will continue for whole month of Kartika and said that since this month is very dear to Krishna by performing austerities, or restraining ones sense gratification and performing activities to please the senses of the Lord, one becomes very dear to the Krishna. As Satya yuga is the best of yugas, as the vedas are the best of scriptures, as ganga is the best of rivers, so kartika is the best of months, the most dear to Krishna.
