Kartik Punima is very famous to all the devotees because it is known as Raash Punima, the day when Krishna celebrated Raas with gopis. Devotees feel love for their lord and celebrate it in various ways.
This year we went to a Satyanarayana puja in our neighborhood on Kartik purnima. It was a pious occasion to feel devotion towards God. After puja, we had prasaad there. In the evening we worshipped Shri Satyanarayana and Radha Krishna. We listened to some devotional songs like 'Rumujhum Rumujhum nupur baaje' ( written by Kazi Nazrul Islam and sang by Anup Jalota), 'Kanha re thoda sa pyar de' ( from Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna' tv serial) and some more such songs. Later when we went out in our balcony, we saw the full moon in the sky, which was looking very bright.
In West Bengal, Raas Purnima is celebrated with great pomp and grandeur in Shantipur and Nabadwip. These days, we are watching many videos of raas puja mandaps and pratima from Nabadwip and Shantipur. There are so much variety in the pratima in different pandals that they bring pure joy in the hearts of the devotees. We watched the videos by Wish Bucket Youtube channel about Raas Utsav celebration in Shantipur and Nabadwip.
In Varanasi, Kartik purnima day is celebrated as Dev Deepavali to celebrate Lord Shiva's win over Tripurasur. Varanasi is decorated beautifully with diyas on this occasion.
One day before this purnima comes the day of Vaikuntha Chaturdashi. On that day, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva are worshipped together, which is very auspicious day for the devotees.
Such pious days are like a blessing to the devotees as they feel love for the Supreme Lord in so many various ways through different activities.
With Lots of love and best wishes,
Jai Shri Krishna.
