Many devotees have gone astray from the standard that Srila Prabhupada has given, this is not good. Let us discuss about this important topic later.
"The Tilaks on the forehead and other parts of the body are symbolic representation of Radha Krishna Temples. In other words by marking Tilaks on all parts of our body we become protected by the Lord from all sides. Besides Tilak marking at once makes one known as Vaisnavas therefore they are necessary as much as the beads."
- Letter to Dayananda, Nandarani and Uddhava, 20th September, 1967.
