🪷 Kṛṣṇa Tṛtīyā
🪷 Krishna-Declaration · How this tithi IS Krishna
The 15-tithi Sun-Moon angular cycle is Krishna's lunar darśana · each tithi is one of the 15 cosmic doors through which the soul descends or ascends (see Lagna-Tithi-Loka). On Kṛṣṇa Tṛtīyā, the door is open to the loka governed by Viṣṇu — and Krishna IS that presiding-deity (BG 9.23: "whoever worships any deity with faith, that faith is My arrangement").
Tithi #18 of 30 · Kṛṣṇa-pakṣa · presiding-deity: Viṣṇu
🌙 Today is Kṛṣṇa Tṛtīyā (2026-06-03) — the deity Viṣṇu is especially-active.
🪷 Krishna-anchor · tithi as Krishna's līlā-window
Every tithi is one moon-phase of Krishna's saṁvatsara (year-cycle). The Moon (BG 10.21 śaśī) IS Krishna's pratyakṣa form among the nakshatras · its motion through the 30 tithis IS Krishna's calendar of dharmic observance. The presiding deity Viṣṇu is Krishna's vibhūti. BG 10.21
— BG 7.7 · "mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti" — there is nothing higher than Me
