if one is going to a job, they may have to look externally 'respectable,'

but prabhupada said in 1966, "you can dress for work like a respectable

gentlemen, but the flags (sikhas) and tilaka must be there.."

 

HDG Indradyumna swami has been encouraging his disciples for years, to ride

the public buses and metro in their devotional clothes everywhere!

 

in the polish tour they have booths staffed by his disciples male/ and

female respectively, who show people how to put on a dhoti/sari, and people

love it!
