🌙 **Purushottam Month — Adhik Maas** 🌙
**May 17 – June 15, 2026**

Purushottam Month is a sacred extra lunar month dedicated to **Lord Krishna**, offering devotees a special opportunity to deepen their bhakti through hearing, chanting, reading, and service.

During this auspicious month, we are encouraged to make sincere spiritual commitments — chanting extra rounds, hearing more Krishna-katha, spending more time with Srila Prabhupada’s books, and sharing Krishna consciousness through book and Bhagavatam distribution.

Let us use this blessed month to come closer to Lord Krishna with renewed devotion and gratitude. 🙏
