Srila Prabhupada always wore silk, at least when I was travelling

with him. He didn't have any cotton clothes at all.

 

When I bought a silk dhoti in Calcutta he was pleased:

 

TD Vol 1

January 15, 1976--Calcutta

 

"Later in the day I came before Prabhupada wearing a new raw silk dhoti,

which he immediately noticed. He asked me whether it was silk and how much

it cost. Remembering that in Vrndavana he had complimented me for getting a

good dhoti for only fourteen rupees, I thought he might not be happy that I

had spent 175 on this one. However, he was quite pleased and remarked that

silk is very nice."

 

Your humble servant,

Hari-sauri dasa
