Story Of a Rat
This history of the mouse is very famous in the Padma Purana, Kartika Mahatmya.
Ekalavya - Attained Perfection via Diety
Ekalavya is later killed by Krishna during the latter's conflict with Jarasandha's army.
To be killed by Krishna is a mark, in Krishnaism (as in most forms of Vaishnavism),
of exceptional divine favour.
Brahmotsav in Hare Krishna Movement
On the first day of the Brahmotsava, all the important demigods like Lord Brahma, Indra, Shiva and so on are invited to participate in the festival. A flag bearing the picture of Garuda is hoisted (dhvaja arohana). This indicates the commencement of the festival. Every evening there is a gorgeous pallakki utsava. Everyday the utsava Deities of Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra are decorated in different alankaras. Each Pallakki has its respective carriers (vahanas), insignia carriers and the fan bearers. The Lord mounts thevahana and goes for a pleasure ride on His carrier, along with His eternal consort and other devotees just like a king goes out in his chariot along with his entourage. The Deities are carried in the particular vahanato suit the alankara He is wearing on that day. When He is adorned in the Suryanarayana alankara, Hisvahana is Suryaprabha vahana; and in His Seetharama Pattabhisheka alankara, His vahana is Hanumadvahana and so on.
Various performances of traditional dance styles, depicting the pastimes of Lord Krishna, are enacted in the evenings for the pleasure of the Lord. After the cultural performances, the Deities receive dolotsavaseva, during which the utsava vigrahas are swung on a decorated swing.
Apart from these festivities, Brahma Rathotsava, Kalyanotsava and Churanabhisheka are also performed as part of the eleven day festival. During the Brahma Rathotsava, the utsava vigrahas of Radha Krishna ride on a chariot or ratha. Churanabhisheka is the ceremonial bath during which They are bathed in turmeric paste and other auspicious items.
The festival concludes with the dhvaja avarohana - lowering of the flag of Garuda.
