This is based on > Bhaktivonoda Thakura's translation of Raghunatha dasa Gosvami's > Premambhoja-maranda. Her transcendental anger toward Krsna is embodied as the arrangement of the hair on Her head, and the tilaka of Her great fortune shines on Her beautiful forehead. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Madhya 8.166 This doesn't depict a sampradaya tilaka, or should I say physical tilaka. I am not saying I got it right, rather what I am trying to say is that this quote doesn't seem to show that Srimati Radharani has a diksitah tilaka.
