Kartika Snana is a great way to cleanse oneself from past sins. This snana should be performed in the Ushah kala (early hours of the day before sunrise). After getting up from bed one should pray to Sri Narayana, Lakshmi and Bhudevi. Later one should pray and worship Gomatha and perform pradakshina namaskara to Tulasi Vrindavana. Later one should proceed to river, well etc to take bath while the stars are still visible in the sky. While taking the dip in the holy water, all teertha abhibani devatas need to be contemplated, all the rivers ganga, yamuna, kaveri, godavri, krishna need to be remembered and Vishnu should be prayed repeatedly.
The Kartika Snana Sankalpa is as follows: कार्तिकेहं करिष्यामि प्रातःस्नानं जनार्दन । प्रीत्यर्थं तव देवेश दामोदर मया सह ।। O Janardana, I will perform Snana in Kartika Masa (From Ashvina Shukla Paurnima to Kartika Shukla Paurnima) to obtain the grace of yourself and Sri Maha Lakshmi. Kartika Arghya: गृहाणार्घ्यं मयादत्तं राधया सहितो हरे । नमः कमलनाभाय नमस्ते जलशायिने । नमस्तेस्तु हृषीकेश गृहाणार्घ्यं नमोस्तु ते ।। One should give Arghya to Narayana, later to Surya and later to all gangadi tirthabhimani devas respectively. credits;www.uttaradimath.org
