Karva Chauth
Karva Chauth is celebrated on the 4th day of the waning moon in the month of Kartik.
Traditionally, it is observed as a fast, where married women pray for the well-being and longevity of their husbands.
In the path of devotion, this day carries a deeper meaning. It represents the spirit of selfless dedication and unwavering commitment. Devotees of Shri Radha Krishna use this day to reflect on unalloyed devotion—where love is not motivated by personal gain, but is offered purely for the happiness of the Divine.
For a seeker, Karva Chauth becomes an opportunity to examine the nature of one’s own devotion. True bhakti is not based on expectation, but on surrender and selfless love. By dedicating one’s thoughts, actions, and intentions to God in this spirit, devotion gradually becomes pure and unwavering.
