By the way the Janma tithi vidhi is for Janmastami I have read it before, I will do some research from Hari Bhakti Vilasa

about Pancamrta, when it says sugar this is obviously not white (demoniac) sugar like in the west but some high class stuff .Srila Prabhupada never mentioned to have abhisekam like on Janamstami every day.I can understand if you do it on Janmastami or Visnutattva days? Every day you do this…

By His uncommon beauty, Sri Krsna Candra

takes away the mind of everyone.

However, when Sri Radha expands Her own

cleverness, She also captures Sri

Krsna's mind. Therefore She is called "Hara"

a must read about Gopi chandan

The Glories of Gopi-chandana Tilak

According to Vaishnava tradition, gopi-chandana, or the sacred soil from Dwaraka , is applied on the body in twelve places while reciting mantras to Lord Vishnu. This process purifies one's body, designating it as a temple of the Lord. Besides purification, the tilak also offers the wearer protection from ghosts, evil influences, bad dreams, accidents and many other things. It keeps one's mind calm and allows one to constantly remember Lord…
