Guest guest Posted September 9, 1998 Report Share Posted September 9, 1998 Sri: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, Is there any significance mentioned in any of our scriptures or heard in any of AchAryAs' upanyaasams on Kudumi or sikhA. This has been asked by one of my colleagues, who is also a ISCKON member, having a sikhA. I could not think of any immedaitely. I only thought that it may be to hold our "kudumi" by the AchAryA in order not to let us get drowned in samsaaric ocean. Thanks for your clarifications and time. Ram Ram With Best Regards NarayaNa dAsan madhavakkannan ____ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
