Question: Can we do Damodara arati after Kartik?

Jayapataka Swami:  Ha! Well it won’t be called Damodara arati. You can do, I mean, I do a light offering every day when I go to see the deities. Even today I saw Gaura Nitai and Jagannath Baladeva Subadra and Radha Madanamohan, and I offered a lamp to Srila Prabhupada, and everybody. So you can offer. Just that in the month of Kartik you get 100 times the benefit. But we offer any month, and three months which are very special are Kartik, Baisak and Magha. But Ekadasi is also special. Any way I offer every day. I asked Srila Prabhupada should we do something special for Damodara? And he said, you see Damodara month is a special offer to get new customers but you are regular customers. You offer every day worship. So regular customer gets benefit of all the sales. But the sales are particularly to attract new customers. So Damodara month is attracting the new customers. Go to a house and invite people to take advantage because, special offer! But you can offer pooja to Krsna every day, no limit. Hare Krsna!
