Grooming and chanting

[Guest guest]

Here are some quotes that may be of interest to the devotees and Madhava Ghosh:

 

 

Unless absolutely necessary, one should keep head shaven and not allow the hair

to grow long. If absolutely necessary, one can dress like an American

gentleman, with short hair, but long hair is prohibited. The reason that one

with long hair is not my disciple is because he is against the principle.

Unless absolutely necessary one should keep hair short, and if necessary one

can dress like an American gentleman with short hair. It is not expected that

everyone will join. For that reason we can't compromise. The tendency is there

to be hippy.

Letter to Dhrstaketu, New York, 17 July, 1976

 

I am accepting you as my initiated disciple. Your name can be Sukrta dasa. I am

hoping that you will fulfill your promise to chant at least 16 good rounds a

day and to follow all of the four regulative principles. These things are of

the utmost importance. Letter to: Supriya, Bombay, 18 March, 1975
