Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Well, the thing is that some devotees feel we should wear karmi clothing in order to appeal better to the nondevotee world. And the funniest thing is that that's happening here in Southern California, a Mecca for yoga, ayurveda, kirtan, and Indian culture. I never wear pants. I always wear dothi and that gives me so much opportunity to preach. People keep asking whether I am a monk or why I am dressed like that. Many time people say, "Hey! You are a Hare Krishna!
