SUMMARY:Kartika Begins 2026
DESCRIPTION:Kartika Begins — The Most Sacred Month \nThe month of Kartika (Karthik) is considered the holiest month of the Hindu year\, especially beloved by devotees of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. Lighting deepams (oil lamps) every evening\, taking early morning holy baths\, performing Tulsi puja daily\, and observing special vrats are the hallmarks of Kartika observance. It is believed that any act of devotion performed during Kartika — whether lighting a lamp\, reciting Vishnu Sahasranama\, or feeding the poor — carries a thousand times the normal merit. The entire month leads up to the grand celebration of Kartika Purnima with its Karthigai Deepam lighting. \nThis date is noted on our temple calendar as an observance for devotees’ reference. There is no scheduled program or gathering at the temple for this occasion. Devotees are welcome to make offerings at home or during regular temple hours.

SUMMARY:Pradosham
DESCRIPTION:Pradosham is a sacred occasion dedicated to Lord Shiva\, observed twice a month on the 13th day (Trayodashi) of both the waxing and waning moon phases. It is a time of heightened spiritual energy\, believed to be particularly auspicious for seeking Lord Shiva’s blessings to remove negativity\, overcome obstacles\, and attain inner peace and prosperity. \nIn Hindu tradition\, Pradosham symbolizes the time when Lord Shiva drank the halahala poison during the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan) to save the universe. His selfless act of consuming the poison represents the destruction of negativity and the preservation of life and dharma. Devotees observe this occasion with fasting\, meditation\, and prayers to cleanse their minds and align their souls with the divine. \nAt the Hindu Temple Society of New Mexico\, the Pradosham celebration includes special Abhishekam (ritual bathing of the Shiva Lingam)\, the chanting of sacred mantras\, and offering of bilva leaves\, fruits\, and flowers to Lord Shiva. Devotees gather to sing bhajans\, perform Aarti\, and meditate during this auspicious twilight period\, which is believed to be the most favorable time to worship Lord Shiva and seek his grace. \nPlease join us for this spiritually enriching event as we come together to honor Lord Shiva and connect with his divine energy. Everyone is welcome to participate and experience the serenity and blessings of Pradosham at HTSNM. \nExact time: 5:07 PM
