damodaram prapadye 'ham sri radha-ramanam prabhum
prabhavad yasya tat presthah karttikah sevito bhavet
" I surrender to the Supreme Lord who was tied around the waist with a rope, and Who is the lover of Sri Radha. By His power one is able to serve His favorite month of Karttika." (Hari-Bhakti-vilasa 16.1)
The holy month of Karttika is currently being observed at the matha. At twilight, devotees light lamps and candles around the temples of Radha-Madhava, Giriraja, Nrsimha and Srila Prabhupada's puspa-samadhi as well as around Govinda Kunda.
They then gather to sing Sri Damodarastakam and other bhajanas while offering dipams to Sri Sri Radha-Damodara.
