Bhisma Pancaka (video-class by Giriraj Swami)
The last five days of Kartika month, Thursday – Monday, November 10 -14, 2016, are known as Bhisma-Pancaka. Grandfather Bhisma fasted for these five days, preparing to give up his life. However one observes Kartika-vrata, one should intensify it for the last five days. Bhisma-pancaka refers to a special vow (vrata) that can be taken up by Vaisnavas during the last five days of the Damodara month. Here are some ways to amp up your Kartika vrata:
Read from Srila Prabhupada’s books
Attend morning class
Attend mangal arati
Do some unrecognized temple service
Donate for the cow program
Go on Friday Harinama in Gainesville
Help with Krishna Lunch at Santa Fe College
