hare krishna mataji,
tomorrow is the day of govardhan puja,there are gonna be festivals in iskcon temples all over the world.i hope you will visit the temple and take the beautiful darshan.
hare krishna mataji,
a very happy diwali to you and to your family devotees.
it is also the month of damodar,the month which is very loved by all the devotees.in this month we should chant more and offer a lamp with ghee to lord krishna.
i would like to tell you a story of a rat who gained liberation to goloka vrindavan due to lords mercy.
there was a lamp in lord krishna's temple which was about to turn off as the thread on the fire was burnt.as rats are very attracted towards cheese,butter,etc one rat thought that the thread in the lamp was a eatable.he tried to eat it up but due to some fire his moustaches got burnt and there came some crackling voice due to which he suddenly removed his mouth from the thread.this caused the the thread to come up a little and the lamp never lit off.
due to a small incidence like this lord krishna took him back to godhead.
this took place in the month of damodar.
