All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to Sankirtan movement by Sri Chaitanya & Nityananda.
Dear Gurudeva:
Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances. I hope this will meet you in good health. I keep in the harinam process, although I'm still a neophyte I chant Hare Krishna and follow the principles.
I still don't chant incessantly, but just follow the 16 rounds with a fighting mind every day.
However, I try to share and serve what I can, some people ask me many questions, I try to answer according to what I'm learning from your teachings and the Srila Prabhupada teachings. But I often don't know the best answers, that's why I'm asking you:
Should devotees get tattoos?
Which modality the tattoos are?
Which modality are the tattoos?
Does having devotional tattoos help advancement?
Can tattoos be done as a devotional service?
And What is your opinion of the tattoo business?
HpS - I have never read in any of Prabhupada's books about tattoos, but I have heard that in Vedic culture they are considered in the mode of ignorance, to permanently mark the body.
I would understand it is best not to do them.
Thanks a lot for being an example to follow, I pray that I can follow you properly.
