Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 What are the qualifications for wearing one? Keep in mind, I'm just a fallen soul that loves Krsna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhav Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 the following: - he worships krishna primarily. - he abstains from meat, alcohol/drugs, illecit sex and gambling. that is minimum. one who wears three kanthi in the neck is, is supposed to be, an initiated disciple of a guru in a bonafide vaishnav sampradaya. his sadhana is more serious than a householder who wears one kanthi.

livingentity Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 I was taught that you can wear one strand if uninitiated and three if you are. I was also taught that this helps identify you as a devotee of Lord Krsna to the Yamadutas (assistants of Lord Yamaraja) should death come for you. I mind has gone blank about two strands??
