It is mentioned in all Vedic scriptures Kartik is the holiest month in all and who offer ghee lamp to Lord Damodar receive pure devotions from Lord KRISHNA.
The last 5 days of the month of Kartik are traditionally known as the Bhishma Panchaka.
It is considered Grandfather of Kurus Bhismadeva fasted for these five days, preparing to give up his life.
It is also mentioned Bhishmadeva observed the fast which is very difficult to a normal human beings.
He only are cow products in all five days. First day he ate only cow dung then cow urine, Panchamitra and finally cow made products.
Although Bhishmadeva was booned by his own desired death but he promised he will leave his body when Lord Krishna will be infront of him.
Bhishmadeva was a very pious and great devotee of Lord, only a great devotee of Lord can suffer that much pain as he suffered so much pain on arrow bed from Arjuna.
But he didn't say to Krishna, why I am suffering?
He already knew it, it is Krishna's plan and whatever He does it will always good for me.
Bhishmadeva was a very scholar and a great king, he taught Pandvas duty of a King.
Let remember Bhishmadeva and offer prayers towards him to give devotion to us and always our heart beat remembering Krishna.
Hare Krishna.
